I love doing these, please let me know if I am ever too harsh.

BOYS: I am bad at boys names and have a different, more traditional (dated) style… so bear with me!

[name_u]River[/name_u] [name_m]Jeffrey[/name_m] - I have an irrational dislike of the name [name_m]Jeffrey[/name_m], so please discount my opinion. But I like the nature-y [name_u]River[/name_u] with a solid middle name.
[name_u]Corey[/name_u] [name_u]Dean[/name_u] - [name_u]Corey[/name_u] seems very dated in the 90s to me. I prefer [name_u]Cary[/name_u].
[name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] [name_m]Brogan[/name_m] - These are a little mismatched [name_f]IMO[/name_f]. [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] is so bold and [name_m]Brogan[/name_m] sounds like a whine to me. A different middle for [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] could be [name_m]Brandon[/name_m]/[name_m]Brendan[/name_m]?
[name_u]Indiana[/name_u] [name_u]Jace[/name_u] - [name_m]Way[/name_m] too close to [name_u]Indiana[/name_u] [name_m]Jones[/name_m]. [name_u]Indiana[/name_u] is a cool name for a boy, though! Maybe [name_u]Indiana[/name_u] [name_m]Ace[/name_m]? Or [name_u]Indiana[/name_u] [name_u]Max[/name_u]? [name_u]Indiana[/name_u] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u]?
[name_m]Macaulay[/name_m] [name_m]Miles[/name_m] - Against the odds, I like it! Very much! This is probably my favorite of your boy combos.
[name_m]Albert[/name_m] [name_m]Franklin[/name_m] - Hm, I am unsure about [name_m]Albert[/name_m]. I’d like [name_m]Aldo[/name_m] or [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] better. I think both names are too clunky to work together.
[name_m]David[/name_m] [name_m]Cole[/name_m] - Nice!
[name_m]Trevor[/name_m] [name_m]Cole[/name_m] - Also nice!
[name_m]Walter[/name_m] [name_m]Cole[/name_m] - Also also nice! [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_m]Walter[/name_m].
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m] [name_m]Ian[/name_m] - Also also also nice! Nothing exciting here, though.
[name_u]Emerson[/name_u] [name_m]Paul[/name_m] - I would like to see [name_u]Emmett[/name_u] instead, but this has a nice flow.
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_u]Evan[/name_u] - Also also also also nice!
[name_m]Jeremy[/name_m] [name_m]Reardon[/name_m] - I don’t care for [name_m]Reardon[/name_m] in the slightest. Not a bad set though, just personal prejudice :slight_smile:
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Mark[/name_m] - I actually really don’t like [name_m]Mark[/name_m] as a stand alone name in any context, again, personal prejudice. [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] is also getting overdone in my corner of the world. I prefer [name_u]Elias[/name_u] and [name_m]Marcus[/name_m], but not together.
[name_u]Shane[/name_u] [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] - Interesting! I have not seen [name_u]Shane[/name_u] in ages. I unexpectedly like this set.
[name_u]Rio[/name_u] [name_u]Nikita[/name_u] - Bold! Fresh! Exciting! I would love to meet [name_u]Rio[/name_u] [name_u]Nikita[/name_u]. I would think his parents have great stories to tell.

GIRLS: I am actually much more daring with girls! Again, please bear with me :slight_smile:

[name_f]Heather[/name_f] [name_u]Michele[/name_u] - Screams 80s at me. I don’t like either name very much.
[name_u]Haley[/name_u] [name_f]Joelle[/name_f] - Also seems a little 80s-90s, though I quite like [name_f]Joelle[/name_f]!
[name_f]Vada[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] - I would prefer these switched, but [name_f]Vada[/name_f] is very interesting!
[name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] - I love everything about this.
[name_f]Constance[/name_f] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] - I normally think of [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] as kind of a “filler” middle, but I like it a lot in this combo. [name_f]Constance[/name_f] is a great name, too.
[name_u]Dakota[/name_u] [name_u]Lesley[/name_u] - I don’t really like [name_u]Dakota[/name_u] as a name. [name_u]Lesley[/name_u] is a nice middle, though, and this does have good flow. Maybe [name_f]Diana[/name_f] or [name_f]Demetria[/name_f]?
[name_u]Ashley[/name_u] [name_u]June[/name_u] - Nice, very simple.
[name_u]Rain[/name_u] [name_f]Louise[/name_f] - I like [name_f]Louise[/name_f] [name_u]Rain[/name_u] better. But an interesting combo!
[name_u]Regan[/name_u] [name_u]Blair[/name_u] - So, this immediately says “The Exorcist” to me. The little girl’s name is [name_u]Regan[/name_u], played by [name_f]Linda[/name_f] [name_u]Blair[/name_u]. I also find that [name_u]Blair[/name_u] -> blare is hard to get over. Maybe [name_u]Regan[/name_u] [name_f]Blythe[/name_f]? [name_u]Regan[/name_u] [name_u]Bliss[/name_u]?
[name_f]Mindy[/name_f] [name_f]Linnea[/name_f] - [name_f]Mindy[/name_f], that’s different! I like this combo more than I would have thought.
[name_f]Mallory[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] - I love this. Great flow, awesome names.
[name_f]Summer[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f] - I like this too! It might be a little fanciful, but it’s cute.
[name_f]Liberty[/name_f] [name_f]April[/name_f] - I also like this one… not my usual taste but a great sound!
[name_u]Eden[/name_u] [name_f]May[/name_f] - I also like this one. [name_u]Eden[/name_u] is a GP of mine.
[name_f]Aleka[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u] - I keep wanting to read this as [name_f]Aleksa[/name_f]. I haven’t come around on [name_f]Aleka[/name_f]. I might prefer other [name_m]Al[/name_m]-names here.
[name_f]Michelle[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] - A little dated, very safe. Nothing great and nothing wrong.

Names I like:
[name_u]River[/name_u] [name_m]Jeffrey[/name_m]
[name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] [name_m]Brogan[/name_m]

[name_f]Vada[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]
[name_u]Rain[/name_u] [name_f]Louise[/name_f]
[name_u]Regan[/name_u] [name_u]Blair[/name_u]
[name_f]Liberty[/name_f] [name_f]April[/name_f]
[name_u]Eden[/name_u] [name_f]May[/name_f]

These are the “usable ones” according to moi.

[name_m]David[/name_m] [name_m]Cole[/name_m]
[name_m]Trevor[/name_m] [name_m]Cole[/name_m]

Girls List:
[name_f]Heather[/name_f] [name_u]Michele[/name_u]
[name_u]Haley[/name_u] [name_f]Joelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Vada[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]
[name_u]Ashley[/name_u] [name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_f]Mallory[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]

[name_u]Eden[/name_u] [name_f]May[/name_f]
[name_f]Michelle[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]

I like [name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] the best! :slight_smile:

I like these:
[name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] [name_m]Brogan[/name_m] - Edgy and flows well
[name_m]Macaulay[/name_m] [name_m]Miles[/name_m] - Two names I don’t particularly like but which complement each other nicely
[name_m]Trevor[/name_m] [name_m]Cole[/name_m] - Somehow this one just clicks
[name_u]Emerson[/name_u] [name_m]Paul[/name_m] - Very sophisticated and sounds like a lot of thought went into it
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Mark[/name_m] - Same as [name_u]Emerson[/name_u] [name_m]Paul[/name_m]. I guess it’s the slightly more surprising first with the solid classic as a middle name
[name_u]Shane[/name_u] [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] - I have a thing for [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] and [name_u]Shane[/name_u] [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] is like the jock and the geek united into one very cool human being
[name_u]Rio[/name_u] [name_u]Nikita[/name_u] - I still have a hard time getting used to [name_u]Nikita[/name_u] but seeing it paired with [name_u]Rio[/name_u] just makes sense!

[name_u]Haley[/name_u] [name_f]Joelle[/name_f] - [name_m]Young[/name_m], fresh yet feminine
[name_f]Vada[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] - I’ve never heard of [name_f]Vada[/name_f] but I think it’s pretty cool just like [name_u]Emerson[/name_u] [name_m]Paul[/name_m] and [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Mark[/name_m] this one sounds just right because of the balance between the styles
[name_u]Regan[/name_u] [name_u]Blair[/name_u] - I imagine a very spunky spontaneous girl
[name_f]Mindy[/name_f] [name_f]Linnea[/name_f] - I love [name_f]Linnea[/name_f] and think [name_f]Mindy[/name_f] is really cute
[name_u]Eden[/name_u] [name_f]May[/name_f] - It may perhaps sound like a name of a perfume to some but I think it’s a sign it clicks.
[name_f]Aleka[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u] - This one’s probably my favourite, screams ‘effortlessly cool’
