New Combos - Thoughts?

Girl Names
1

I’ve added some new names to my list and some middle name ideas for them, and I’m wondering if the flow/sound/feel is ok for each combination. ** I’m not looking for opinions on the individual names themselves as I really like the names and spellings I’ve chosen. **

[name_f]Esmae[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f].
[name_f]Darcie[/name_f]-[name_f]Mae[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f].
[name_f]Mia[/name_f] [name_f]Jennifer[/name_f].
[name_f]Honey[/name_f] [name_f]Melissa[/name_f].
[name_f]Ella[/name_f]-[name_f]Mae[/name_f] [name_f]Georgina[/name_f].
[name_u]Darcey[/name_u] [name_f]Ella[/name_f]-[name_f]May[/name_f].
[name_f]Tia[/name_f] [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f].
[name_f]Evie[/name_f]-[name_f]Mae[/name_f] [name_f]Sophia[/name_f].
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Ellie[/name_f]-[name_f]Mae[/name_f].
[name_f]Maisy[/name_f] [name_f]Arabella[/name_f].

What are your thoughts on the combos themselves? Please, no suggestions right now, I’m really just looking for feedback on what the flow and sound are like for each :slight_smile:

[name_f]Esmae[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] - This combination is cute. They go well together and have a nice Victorian sound to them.

[name_f]Darcie[/name_f]-[name_f]Mae[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] - I do not like the names together. [name_f]Darcie[/name_f]-[name_f]Mae[/name_f] is already three syllables on its own, and [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] adds three more. I’m not against long names, but I feel that one of the names needs to be one syllable longer or shorter.

[name_f]Mia[/name_f] [name_f]Jennifer[/name_f] - This combination is very inventive. I would never have thought to put the cute and stylish [name_f]Mia[/name_f] with the older and slightly harsher sounding [name_f]Jennifer[/name_f]. I think they balance each other very well.

[name_f]Honey[/name_f] [name_f]Melissa[/name_f] - I really like the two together, because [name_f]Melissa[/name_f] means [name_f]Honey[/name_f] [name_f]Bee[/name_f]. It just sounds really sweet, but I have a hard time seeing it on an adult.

[name_f]Ella[/name_f]-[name_f]Mae[/name_f] [name_f]Georgina[/name_f] - I like this one a lot. It sounds very Southern [name_f]Belle[/name_f], and the names compliment each other nicely.

[name_u]Darcey[/name_u] [name_f]Ella[/name_f]-[name_f]May[/name_f] - I do not like these together. If you switched them around it’d sound better, but they don’t sound quite right when said out loud.

[name_f]Tia[/name_f] [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] - This is another one that sounds like it would be worn by a girl tucked into crinolines and hoop skirts in the American South. Beautiful, and the soft girly sound of [name_f]Tia[/name_f] and the harder, funkier sound of [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] balance each other well.

[name_f]Evie[/name_f]-[name_f]Mae[/name_f] [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] - I really love this combo. It flows nicely together, in a way that’s hard to get when you use a double first or middle name, and [name_f]Evie[/name_f]-[name_f]Mae[/name_f] is just lovely, especially paired with the more grown-up sounding [name_f]Sophia[/name_f].

[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Ellie[/name_f]-[name_f]Mae[/name_f] - This combo is interesting. I’m not sure I have a definite opinion on it, other than I think that [name_f]Ella[/name_f]-[name_f]Mae[/name_f] might flow a little better with [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] than [name_f]Ellie[/name_f]-[name_f]Mae[/name_f].

[name_f]Maisy[/name_f] [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] - This one is absolutely gorgeous. I do prefer the [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] spelling (and I know you don’t want opinions on that) but I like [name_f]Maisy[/name_f] with [name_f]Arabella[/name_f].

3

I like all the combinations and think they flow well. EXCEPT, all the combos with hyphenated names. They sound awkward and they look like you’re trying too hard to be different.

4

I like quite a lot of the names, but none of the combos feel right.

5

I [name_f]ADORE[/name_f] [name_f]Honey[/name_f] [name_f]Melissa[/name_f]!

6

[name_f]Esmae[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] - flows well
[name_f]Darcie[/name_f]-[name_f]Mae[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] - the -ay of [name_f]Mae[/name_f] and A- of [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] flow a bit into each other but the apart from that, the combo flows well
[name_f]Mia[/name_f] [name_f]Jennifer[/name_f] - doesn’t sound good in my accent but if the -er of [name_f]Jennifer[/name_f] is really prn. like -er, [name_f]Mia[/name_f] [name_f]Jennifer[/name_f] flows well
[name_f]Honey[/name_f] [name_f]Melissa[/name_f] - flows well but this is way too much meaning wise with [name_f]Melissa[/name_f] meaning “Honeybee”
[name_f]Ella[/name_f]-[name_f]Mae[/name_f] [name_f]Georgina[/name_f] - flows well
[name_u]Darcey[/name_u] [name_f]Ella[/name_f]-[name_f]May[/name_f] - if I say it quickly, it sounds a bit choppy, if I make up a last name, I automatically shift the emphasis from [name_f]May[/name_f] to LastName and the flow is better
[name_f]Tia[/name_f] [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] - sounds good
[name_f]Evie[/name_f]-[name_f]Mae[/name_f] [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] - also flows well
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Ellie[/name_f]-[name_f]Mae[/name_f] - this feels like too much of a name as there isn’t much of a break between either name and therefore it becomes one long name “Charlottellimay”
[name_f]Maisy[/name_f] [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] - the -ee A- transition isn’t perfect but the flow is still good

Thank you :slight_smile:

I’m not really sure what you mean about ‘trying too hard to be different’? Hyphenated names aren’t exactly different, I chose them because I like [name_f]Ellie[/name_f]-[name_f]Mae[/name_f], [name_f]Darcie[/name_f]-[name_f]Mae[/name_f], etc. as one name.

Thanks for the input everyone!

It’s the way they look when written. They look like too much stuff, too overdone. If you like those names, drop the hyphen. Elliemae or Darciemae is easily read. But, I mainly think that the double name along with the single name just doesn’t flow. It reminds me of doing improv in school, and we would make up characters like BillyBob JimMack Hatfield and his girfriend BettySue PeggyJune Cornwall.

[name_f]Darcie[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] would flow better in my opinion and it’s pretty.

10

I like a lot of the names as well but not really the combos. The ones with hyphens seem abrupt and randomly grouped together.

11

[name_f]Esmae[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]. - Good
[name_f]Darcie[/name_f]-[name_f]Mae[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f]. - It’s good, but I think [name_f]Darcie[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] flows better.
[name_f]Mia[/name_f] [name_f]Jennifer[/name_f]. - Good
[name_f]Honey[/name_f] [name_f]Melissa[/name_f]. - Good
[name_f]Ella[/name_f]-[name_f]Mae[/name_f] [name_f]Georgina[/name_f]. - Good
[name_u]Darcey[/name_u] [name_f]Ella[/name_f]-[name_f]May[/name_f]. - Okay
[name_f]Tia[/name_f] [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f]. - Good
[name_f]Evie[/name_f]-[name_f]Mae[/name_f] [name_f]Sophia[/name_f]. - Good
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Ellie[/name_f]-[name_f]Mae[/name_f]. Okay, I think [name_f]Ellie[/name_f]-[name_f]Mae[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] flows better.
[name_f]Maisy[/name_f] [name_f]Arabella[/name_f]. - Great

12

I do believe I said that the names themselves are set though, and I personally prefer [name_f]Darcie[/name_f]-[name_f]Mae[/name_f] and [name_f]Ellie[/name_f]-[name_f]Mae[/name_f], as Darciemae looks strange to me.

13

[name_f]Esmae[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]: this is really pretty and flows well.
[name_f]Darcie[/name_f]-[name_f]Mae[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f]: this doesn’t flow together at all in my opinion. The hyphenated part just seems very clunky.
[name_f]Mia[/name_f] [name_f]Jennifer[/name_f]: the flow of this is fine.
[name_f]Honey[/name_f] [name_f]Melissa[/name_f]: honestly… [name_f]Imagine[/name_f] having to introduce yourself to a potential employer as [name_f]Honey[/name_f] and the probability of being teased in school. Not a fan of this at all.
[name_f]Ella[/name_f]-[name_f]Mae[/name_f] [name_f]Georgina[/name_f]: this seems more light and less clunky than your previous hyphenated name. The flow is fine.
[name_u]Darcey[/name_u] [name_f]Ella[/name_f]-[name_f]May[/name_f]: also flows better than the previous [name_f]Darcie[/name_f]-[name_f]Mae[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f].
[name_f]Tia[/name_f] [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f]: pretty, flows fine.
[name_f]Evie[/name_f]-[name_f]Mae[/name_f] [name_f]Sophia[/name_f]: doesn’t flow well and is also clunky.
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Ellie[/name_f]-[name_f]Mae[/name_f]: flow is fine.
[name_f]Maisy[/name_f] [name_f]Arabella[/name_f]: not my favorite of your combos but the flow isn’t too bad.

My favorite is definitely [name_f]Esmae[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]!

14

I’d say that [name_f]Maisy[/name_f] [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] definitely flows the best.

15

So basically, your real issue with double names is that you think they belong on poor hokey country folk. Or am I misinterpreting you? Because so many of the responses in this thread reek of classism.

16

[name_f]Esmae[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] - the flow is good
[name_f]Darcie[/name_f]-[name_f]Mae[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] - the flow is good
[name_f]Mia[/name_f] [name_f]Jennifer[/name_f] - the flow is off for me
[name_f]Honey[/name_f] [name_f]Melissa[/name_f] - the flow is good
[name_f]Ella[/name_f]-[name_f]Mae[/name_f] [name_f]Georgina[/name_f] - the flow is good
[name_u]Darcey[/name_u] [name_f]Ella[/name_f]-[name_f]May[/name_f] - the flow is off, I feel it flows better switched, [name_f]Ella[/name_f]-[name_f]May[/name_f] [name_u]Darcey[/name_u]
[name_f]Tia[/name_f] [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] - the flow is good
[name_f]Evie[/name_f]-[name_f]Mae[/name_f] [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] - the flow is okay, [name_f]Evie[/name_f] and [name_f]Mae[/name_f] flow wise is a bit off
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Ellie[/name_f]-[name_f]Mae[/name_f] - the flow is good, I also like the flow of [name_f]Ellie[/name_f]-[name_f]Mae[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]
[name_f]Maisy[/name_f] [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] - the flow is good

My favorite is [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Ellie[/name_f]-[name_f]Mae[/name_f]. Very pretty.

17

[name_f]Esmae[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] and [name_f]Maisy[/name_f] [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] are my favorites although I think I would go with something like [name_f]Esmae[/name_f] [name_f]Georgina[/name_f] instead because I think it flows better.

[name_f]Darcie[/name_f]-[name_f]Mae[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f].- Too clumped together and awkward.
