Most liked names—of other berries!
Here is a quick list of all the combos that have really stood out to me this year, ones I saw and immediately fell in love with, or ones that somehow inspired me to add the names to my list, or make a similar combo! They’re been mentioned in threads, UCs, listographies, etc…

Summary

@lateaugust George Faro, Abe Sorrel, Thora Marion, Mary Lupine, Wilhelmina July, and Mabel Zohar (Totally sparked my love of Faro and Thora which are now on my list and up-and-coming favourites! Plus just stunning combos that are stuck in my head constantly!)

@may.rose Jane Lavender, Augustin Gable and Tobias Hearth (I love your autumn brothers, and actually have brothers in my UC inspired by them right now! Jane Lavender is so classic, and she comes to mind frequently!)

@readingreverie Brightly Frances Fern, Ilona Cariad, Martha Wonder, Agnes Chrysanthemum, Erwin Lavender (Basically just sparking joy with these combos! They are so melodic and wonderful and gorgeous that they pop to mind often!)

@smileymiley Millaray Opal, Thomas Willow, Florence Cielo, Enid Wednesday (Your combos paired with my time in Spain made me discover so many Spanish name gems! I’ve only listed a couple, but you also made me adore Azucena, Amparo, Alma…and Millaray was a stunner the first time I saw her! I also was blown away by Enid and Thomas especially!)

@CattheBat13579 Lena Elizabeth Rose (Only you could make me see the elegance and beauty in staying classic and timeless with Lena! When I say that I’ve never been a fan of Lena, or of Rose in the middle spot, and yet I adore this name…That is magic combo making on your part! I think other berries will agree that she shone from the moment you posted her!)

@snowmaiden Vision Beulah, Wilbur Raymond March, Florence Alcott and Josephine Merit (I think you’ve convinced all of Nameberry on Vision and Beulah, myself included! You also totally turned me on to literary surname style girls names, which I now think are so cute. Wilbur is utterly adorable as well, and it’s quite embarassing how often I check your listography for inspiration!)

I’m blanking on some more of the specific combos besides those above, but you helped along my love of [name_f]Sasha[/name_f], [name_m]Miro[/name_m], [name_f]Misha[/name_f], and [name_m]Bellamy[/name_m]! Plus your names are all stunning!)

[name_m]Faraday[/name_m] and [name_f]Mayfair[/name_f] have been since added to my gp list, as well as many others I’ve seen you mention-Hopewell, [name_f]July[/name_f], [name_f]Glory[/name_f], all those vintage word names! Plus, [name_m]Bly[/name_m] was one that was not on my radar and that I now love. I also can’t forget to mention that you inspired me to start trying out double middles!)

I think this was the first time I saw [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] on a boy, and it stuck with me because he is now one of my top names!)

[name_f][/name_f]

@drfox[name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Misha[/name_f] WIlloughby [name_m]Sky[/name_m][name_f][/name_f] (Made me fall for [name_f]Misha[/name_f], and gave me such beautiful imagery!)

I this was also the first time I truly thought about [name_m]Tobin[/name_m], who I now love as an alternative to Tobias!)

[name_f][/name_f]

@EagleEyes[name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_f]Liel[/name_f][name_f][/name_f] (Literally the most beautiful combo ever. I fully found [name_f]Miel[/name_f] as a perfect middle for [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] after seeing this!)

[name_f][/name_f]

@mellona[name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Octavia[/name_f] [name_f]Bronte[/name_f] [name_f]Coppelia[/name_f][name_f][/name_f] (I was so blown away by this one! It made me see these names in a new light!)

The simplicity of [name_f]Mary[/name_f] as the middle makes these shine! Also, your boys names are beautiful, and I’ve fallen in love with that woodsy, rugged feel that they capture!)

Names of other berries, continued!

Summary

@tallemaja Elio Florimond, Ilija Konstantin, Flora Erzsébet, and Una Květoslava (I love all of your names so much, and while I’ve only listed a couple above, you’ve introduced me to so many name treasures. One for sure I can name is Ilija- a name I’ve always like, but never loved…Now I love him! Also, your listography is so well organized and the most beautiful one I have seen, if I may say so!)

@clair.de.lune Lucy George, Sarah Valentine (So spunky, I remember loving these when I saw them!)

@Larryisalittledog Marla Winsome and Roberta Daisy (These are the most perfect sister set I have seen! I love the vibe, all blue gingham and retro radios, and this made me start to like Marla!)

@halinka Rosa Luna Belén (Pure magic! She’s new, but I have a feeling she’ll be on my mind for a while!)

@auroracallista Agnes Hollyhock (and Io Hollyhock!) (Made me love Hollyhock as a floral name I had never considered before, and turned me on to Io as a simple and stunning name.)

Thank you for reading and I hope you all enjoyed! Sorry for the length of the post!
