[name_f]My[/name_f] favorite :

[name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Winifred[/name_f]
[name_f]Augustina[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] (although [name_f]Augusta[/name_f]/[name_u]August[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] it’s even more prefect)
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Isolde[/name_f]
[name_f]Evanthe[/name_f] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u]

Neutral
[name_f]Antonia[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] : Cute combo just not a fan of [name_f]Antonia[/name_f]
[name_f]Cicely[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u] : [name_m]Just[/name_m] okay. Prefer [name_f]Cecily[/name_f] or even better [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f]

Least favorite
[name_f]Marceline[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] : nice combo just nms
[name_f]Ramona[/name_f] [name_f]Summer[/name_f] : [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Summer[/name_f], dislike [name_f]Ramona[/name_f]
[name_f]Tallulah[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] : [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f], dislike [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f] although [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f] is beautiful.
[name_f]Trudy[/name_f] [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f] : Sorry but I dont like that combo. They are nice names just not for me.

Favorites:
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Winifred[/name_f]
[name_f]Cicely[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u]
[name_f]Tallulah[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]

Neutral:
[name_f]Antonia[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]
[name_f]Augustina[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] (a little too frilly for me though)
[name_f]Evanthe[/name_f] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u]
[name_f]Marceline[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Ramona[/name_f] [name_f]Summer[/name_f]

Dislike:
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Isolde[/name_f]
[name_f]Trudy[/name_f] [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f]

[name_f]Evanthe[/name_f] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u] is my favourite :slight_smile:

I also love many of the names on your list even though I’m not convinced by the combos (love [name_f]Antonia[/name_f], dislike [name_f]Mae[/name_f])
Actually, most of your combos have one name I like and one I don’t care for which is kind of strange.
I love both [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] and [name_f]Isolde[/name_f] though, but [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Isolde[/name_f] sounds a little sharp to my ears. [name_f]Antonia[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] is better in my opinion, or [name_f]Isolde[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u]…

The only name I really don’t see the appeal of is [name_f]Trudy[/name_f]. I can’t find anything about it that I like.
For rearrangements:
[name_f]Antonia[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Evanthe[/name_f]
[name_f]Augustina[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u] (although I prefer [name_m]Augustine[/name_m] [name_u]Wren[/name_u] (or [name_m]Augustine[/name_m] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]). [name_f]Augustina[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is also wonderful, but [name_f]Rose[/name_f], sadly, makes a dull middle)
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]
[name_f]Cicely[/name_f] [name_f]Ramona[/name_f] (I prefer [name_f]Cecily[/name_f] [name_f]Ramona[/name_f])
[name_f]Evanthe[/name_f] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u]
[name_f]Marceline[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]
[name_f]Ramona[/name_f] [name_f]Isolde[/name_f]
[name_f]Tallulah[/name_f] [name_f]Cicely[/name_f] ([name_f]Cecily[/name_f])
[name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f] [name_m]Augustine[/name_m] or [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f] [name_f]Evanthe[/name_f]

You’ll notice I didn’t use some of the names, [name_f]Summer[/name_f], [name_f]Trudy[/name_f], [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], [name_f]Mae[/name_f] and [name_f]Winifred[/name_f] are not really my style.

[name_f]Evanthe[/name_f] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u] is my favorite.

[name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Winifred[/name_f]: very cute, but I don’t enjoy [name_f]Winifred[/name_f] very much. But the flow is nice, and stylistically they go together well.
[name_f]Antonia[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]: very regal, I like it. [name_f]Antonia[/name_f] is pretty. I’m not dazzled by [name_f]Mae[/name_f] in the middle, it’s seems filler to me, but it does lighten up the more serious [name_f]Antonia[/name_f]. [name_f]Annie[/name_f] would be a cute nickname for [name_f]Antonia[/name_f].
[name_f]Augustina[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]: [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Augustina[/name_f], it sounds like warm summer sunshine! [name_f]Rose[/name_f] obviously sounds pretty with it, as it does with everything. But I adore this combo. I should give [name_f]Augustina[/name_f] some more consideration on my list…
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Isolde[/name_f]: I like both names, but I don’t care for them together to be honest. It flows well enough, I just don’t think the name complement one another. I suggest [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Eliza[/name_f], [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] Illyria, [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f], [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Aria[/name_f]…
[name_f]Cicely[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u]: Very pretty! I love [name_f]Cicely[/name_f] (and also sister name [name_f]Cecily[/name_f]). I’ve never loved [name_u]Wren[/name_u], but it makes a very nice middle name.
[name_f]Evanthe[/name_f] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u]: Never heard [name_f]Evanthe[/name_f], but I kind of like it. The problem i see in this combo is the double V’s. They disrupt the flow in my opinion.
[name_f]Marceline[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]: I like both names, but they don’t flow together. I think you need a middle name with a different number of syllables. I like the double M’s, though. So how about [name_f]Marceline[/name_f] [name_f]Maisie[/name_f], [name_f]Marceline[/name_f] Miette, [name_f]Marceline[/name_f] [name_f]Maya[/name_f], [name_f]Marceline[/name_f] [name_f]Mila[/name_f], [name_f]Marceline[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] (I like this one especially.)
[name_f]Ramona[/name_f] [name_f]Summer[/name_f]: Cute! [name_f]Ramona[/name_f] for me is a name I like on a child, but that I wouldn’t name a child, but I like it nevertheless. [name_f]Summer[/name_f] is very pretty with it. It sounds carefree and dreamy.
[name_f]Tallulah[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]: Awesome! [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f] is great with [name_f]Ivy[/name_f], because they are similar stylistically but not structurally. Great combo!
[name_f]Trudy[/name_f] [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f]: I’m not sure [name_f]Trudy[/name_f] is ready for a revival quite yet. I would let it simmer back in the 20th century for a while longer. [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f] is fantastic.

Great list! Makes me smile!

Perfect:
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Winifred[/name_f]
[name_f]Antonia[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]

Rearranged:
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u]
[name_f]Marceline[/name_f] [name_f]Summer[/name_f]
[name_f]Ramona[/name_f] [name_f]Cicely[/name_f]
[name_f]Trudy[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]

I like [name_f]Augustina[/name_f], but I’m not crazy about any of your middle name options for it.

[name_f]Evanthe[/name_f] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u] is really interesting. I can’t decide if I like it or not.

[name_u]Love[/name_u] (You’ve got 2 of my fave girls names!!!):
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Isolde[/name_f]- [name_u]Love[/name_u] both names, great combo!
[name_f]Evanthe[/name_f] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u]- Such a whimsical, magical sounding combo.
[name_f]Tallulah[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]- [name_m]Just[/name_m] a great combo, love [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f] especially.

Like:
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Winifred[/name_f]
[name_f]Cicely[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u]- I like it but [name_f]Cecelia[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u] sounds better to me.
[name_f]Trudy[/name_f] [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f]- I prefer [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f] [name_f]Trudy[/name_f] a lot more,but then I’m not a fan of [name_f]Trudy[/name_f], but love [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f].
[name_f]Marceline[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]- I prefer [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Marceline[/name_f] (but I love [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] as a first)
[name_f]Antonia[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]- I prefer [name_f]Antoinette[/name_f] to [name_f]Antonia[/name_f], but it’s a nice combo.

Dislike:
[name_f]Ramona[/name_f] [name_f]Summer[/name_f]- Separately they’re great, but the combo doesn’t work somehow. [name_f]Ramona[/name_f] and [name_f]Summer[/name_f] are just completely different names in my mind.
[name_f]Augustina[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]- I don’t like [name_f]Augustina[/name_f], I can’t help but see/hear [name_u]August[/name_u]/[name_m]Augustin[/name_m], and someone (annoying) I knew put me off [name_f]Rose[/name_f] a bit.

[name_f]Evanthe[/name_f] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u] sounds beautiful :slight_smile: my fave

These are [name_f]My[/name_f] Faves!
[name_f]Antonia[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] 1
[name_f]Cicely[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u] 2
[name_f]Augustina[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] 3

[name_f]My[/name_f] favourite combo’s are [name_f]Augustina[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Isolde[/name_f] and [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f].

[name_f]My[/name_f] least favourite combo’s are [name_f]Marceline[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] and [name_f]Trudy[/name_f] [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f].

[name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Winifred[/name_f] and [name_f]Evanthe[/name_f] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u] are both really pretty but didn’t compare to my favourite three.

All are very artistic combinations. Many are too fanciful for my taste. I like [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Winifred[/name_f] a lot.

I love the name [name_f]Marceline[/name_f], but with [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] it sounds a bit singsongy. [name_f]Marceline[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] would be lovely.

Cannot stand [name_f]Trudy[/name_f] haha.

[name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Winifred[/name_f] - This is so gorgeous. Really, it is. I would internally squeal if I met a little [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Winifred[/name_f].
[name_f]Antonia[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] - [name_f]Antonia[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] is pretty! I love it.
[name_f]Augustina[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] - [name_u]August[/name_u] is a favourite of mine, but I haven’t seen [name_f]Augustina[/name_f] in a while! I’m really warming to it. And [name_f]Rose[/name_f], it goes with it perfectly!
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Isolde[/name_f] - Woo, spunky!
[name_f]Cicely[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u] - I kind of prefer [name_f]Cecily[/name_f], but this is lovely.
[name_f]Evanthe[/name_f] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u] - Loving the V’s together! It’s so fun to say.
[name_f]Marceline[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] - [name_f]Lovely[/name_f]! [name_f]Marceline[/name_f] & [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] really work together.
[name_f]Ramona[/name_f] [name_f]Summer[/name_f] - I’m not the biggest fan of [name_f]Ramona[/name_f], but [name_f]Ramona[/name_f] [name_f]Summer[/name_f] is gorgeous!
[name_f]Tallulah[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] - [name_u]Love[/name_u] it.
[name_f]Trudy[/name_f] [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f] - One of my favourites on your list. I just love [name_f]Trudy[/name_f] & [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f], and together they’re amazing!

Gorgeous!! (except [name_f]Ramona[/name_f] & [name_f]Trudy[/name_f] offend me on some level…I just find them too homely for an innocent, beautiful child) But the other 8 are truly gorgeous.

I ranked each name individually rather than as first/middle combos:

LOVES:
[name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Ramona[/name_f]
[name_f]Tallulah[/name_f] (though I prefer [name_f]Talullah[/name_f])
[name_f]Antonia[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Summer[/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]

LIKES:
[name_f]Winifred[/name_f]
[name_f]Mae[/name_f]
[name_f]Augustina[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]
[name_u]Valentine[/name_u]
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f]
[name_f]Trudy[/name_f]

DISLIKES:
[name_f]Isolde[/name_f]
[name_f]Cicely[/name_f]
[name_u]Wren[/name_u]
[name_f]Evanthe[/name_f]

Ok, so we have a very different naming style…

[name_u]Love[/name_u] :

  1. [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Winifred[/name_f]
  2. [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Isolde[/name_f] (The -ix ending with the is- beginning is not good though)
  3. [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] (I like this combo better than #2, but I prefer [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] to [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f])

Dislike :
4. [name_f]Cicely[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u] (Nice combo, hate [name_f]Cicely[/name_f]. Prefer [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f], [name_f]Celia[/name_f])
5. [name_f]Augustina[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
6. [name_f]Evanthe[/name_f] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u] (I’d prefer [name_f]Evanthe[/name_f] [name_f]Valentina[/name_f], but not by much)
7. [name_f]Antonia[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] (In my imagination, [name_f]Antonia[/name_f] has a moustache)
8. [name_f]Marceline[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] (Ma- beginnings are repetitive. [name_f]Marceline[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u]?)
9. [name_f]Trudy[/name_f] [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f] (I prefer [name_u]Truly[/name_u], or [name_u]True[/name_u].)
10. [name_f]Ramona[/name_f] [name_f]Summer[/name_f] (Such a harsh name!)
