I’ve been playing around with some different combinations off my long list (so more than what’s in my signature), but I’m not entirely sure on how well they flow. I don’t like to follow any strict patterns, and I really do love some of the more basic middles ([name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], [name_u]June[/name_u], [name_f]May[/name_f]) but they’re family choices, so I’d prefer not to hear about them being boring (but feel free to suggest other middles/variants).
They’re all pretty great, your making me fall in love with some of these names, but I’ve mixed some of the firsts/middles:
[name_f]Henrietta[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f]/[name_f]Florence[/name_f]
[name_f]Elsie[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]/[name_f]Viola[/name_f]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Betsy[/name_f] [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f]/[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]
[name_f]Eva[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]/[name_f]Florence[/name_f]/[name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Glad[/name_f] you like them! I really like [name_f]Henrietta[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f], [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], [name_f]Eva[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f] and [name_f]Betsy[/name_f] [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f] too, thank you
[name_f]Carrie[/name_f] [name_f]Viola[/name_f]/[name_f]Carrie[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] - [name_f]Carrie[/name_f] [name_f]Viola[/name_f] sounds like you’re carrying a viola. [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] is a better middle for it!
[name_f]Betsy[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] - Very cute. Would [name_f]Betsy[/name_f] be short for anything?
[name_f]Elsie[/name_f] [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f]- not a fan of [name_f]Elsie[/name_f]. Sorry.
[name_f]Lucie[/name_f] [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] - This is nice.
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] - Very classy.
[name_f]Lottie[/name_f] [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f]/[name_f]Rebekah[/name_f] - [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f], but not [name_f]Lottie[/name_f]. [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f] is beautiful though.
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f] - Again, I love one but not the other. [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] is great for me. I still don’t get the charm of [name_f]Florence[/name_f].
[name_f]Henrietta[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] - Not a fan.
[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] - Adorable. So would be [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f].
[name_f]Minnie[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]- I’d always be thinking, “so who is [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]?! If this is the mini one, who is the real one?”
[name_f]Jemima[/name_f] [name_f]Emily[/name_f]/[name_f]Jemima[/name_f] [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] - This is fine.
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Holly[/name_f] - The names sound nice together.
[name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] - Nope.
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] - Neither are my taste at all.
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] - Has a very nice flow to it.
[name_f]Eva[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] - Sweet.
[name_f]Agatha[/name_f] [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]/[name_f]Lucie[/name_f] - Eh.
I would suggest, [name_f]Eva[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f], [name_f]Jemima[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f], [name_f]Agatha[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]?
[name_f]Carrie[/name_f] [name_f]Viola[/name_f]/[name_f]Carrie[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] - both cute, but I feel like [name_f]Carrie[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] flows better
[name_f]Betsy[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] - lovely vintage choices that work really well together
[name_f]Elsie[/name_f] [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f] - [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] is adorable, [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f] is nms but the two work nicely as a pair
[name_f]Lucie[/name_f] [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] - gorgeous
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] - the names are cute but I prefer them the other way round
[name_f]Lottie[/name_f] [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f]/[name_f]Rebekah[/name_f] - sweet names, okay together but not amazing [name_f]IMO[/name_f]
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f] - my favourite on your list, totally beautiful
[name_f]Henrietta[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] - really lovely, [name_f]Henrietta[/name_f] is an underused gem
[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] - I love both names separately but together they don’t work for me
[name_f]Minnie[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] - not a fan, [name_f]Minnie[/name_f] seems too childish, [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] is sweet though
[name_f]Jemima[/name_f] [name_f]Emily[/name_f]/[name_f]Jemima[/name_f] [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] - [name_f]Jemima[/name_f] [name_f]Emily[/name_f] seems to repetitive, but [name_f]Jemima[/name_f] [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] is nice
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Holly[/name_f] - not my favourite but not bad
[name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] - totally gorgeous
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] - sweet but not incredible
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] - love it!
[name_f]Eva[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] - nice enough but not my favourite as a pair
[name_f]Agatha[/name_f] [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]/[name_f]Lucie[/name_f] - lovely choices, flows quite well
[name_f]Carrie[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] - feels a wee bit dated, but also fresh-faced and youthful. either way, prefer it to [name_f]Carrie[/name_f] [name_f]Viola[/name_f]
[name_f]Betsy[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] - cutesy, but in the right way
[name_f]Elsie[/name_f] [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f] - i’ve always liked this [name_f]Lucie[/name_f] [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] - very nice. what happened to [name_f]Nancy[/name_f] [name_f]Imogen[/name_f]? [name_f]Lucie[/name_f] [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] is probably fresher, but i love the retro feel of [name_f]Nancy[/name_f] too. [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] - very nice
[name_f]Lottie[/name_f] [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f]/[name_f]Rebekah[/name_f] - not a [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f] fan, but combo sounds decent. I prefer [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f] to [name_f]Rebekah[/name_f]. [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f] - perfect [name_f]Henrietta[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] - nice! what nn would you use, if any?
[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] - pretty but doesnt excite me for some reason [name_f]Minnie[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] - really cute. at first i wrote NMS but this combo is growing on me
[name_f]Jemima[/name_f] [name_f]Emily[/name_f]/[name_f]Jemima[/name_f] [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] - i dont mind [name_f]Jemima[/name_f] (i saw you get defensive over it on a thread about the controversy of the name in the US), but not feeling either middle.
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Holly[/name_f] - ok, not a [name_f]Holly[/name_f] fan [name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] - pretty together, but not a fan of [name_f]Martha[/name_f], but combo has a nice balance.
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] - nice, a bit heavy [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] - a bit conservative but nice together [name_f]Eva[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] - looks pretty, a bit sing-songy, but i love both names.
[name_f]Agatha[/name_f] [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]/[name_f]Lucie[/name_f] - ok. I prefer [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] in this combo.
Some ideas for [name_f]Jemima[/name_f], since i shot them both down
[name_f]Jemima[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]
[name_f]Jemima[/name_f] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f]
[name_f]Jemima[/name_f] [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f]
[name_f]Jemima[/name_f] [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
[name_f]Jemima[/name_f] [name_f]Lucille[/name_f]
[name_f]Jemima[/name_f] [name_f]Sophie[/name_f]
[name_f]Jemima[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]
[name_f]Jemima[/name_f] [name_u]Scout[/name_u]
[name_f]Jemima[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u]
[name_f]Jemima[/name_f] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]
[name_f]Jemima[/name_f] [name_f]Faith[/name_f]
[name_f]Jemima[/name_f] [name_f]Felicity[/name_f]
@lovemysweeties I love all three, but I think I have [name_f]Hattie[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f] as a combo for [name_f]Hattie[/name_f]. I do like [name_f]Hettie[/name_f] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] and [name_f]Hettie[/name_f] [name_f]Isabel[/name_f] though!
@emsky - I think [name_f]Nancy[/name_f]'s lost a bit of sparkle for me Still on my list, but I’m taking a break from it, haha. I doubt I would nickname [name_f]Henrietta[/name_f] if i’m honest, I sort of see it as like, if I wanted to always use [name_f]Hettie[/name_f] or [name_f]Hattie[/name_f], then that’s what I’d call her. I did get a bit defensive of [name_f]Jemima[/name_f], as she’s a favourite of mine, and I dislike being told what I can/cannot use when the name has a lot more connections than the one bad one that’s being focused on. I do really like [name_f]Jemima[/name_f] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]! Thank you
So this just popped into my mind… Mikelina [name_u]Bay[/name_u]
Am not sure from where but as far your options go I love [name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]!
[name_f]Carrie[/name_f] [name_f]Viola[/name_f]/[name_f]Carrie[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] - not a fan of [name_f]Carrie[/name_f] and not sure how you pronounce [name_f]Viola[/name_f]. I still prefer [name_f]Carrie[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], though (doesn’t matter which [name_f]Viola[/name_f] pronunciation).
[name_f]Betsy[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] - I really like [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] and think [name_f]Betsy[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] flows quite well.
[name_f]Elsie[/name_f] [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f] - I find the close -s and -th a bit hard to say (but then English is not my native language) which makes the combo so-so for me.
[name_f]Lucie[/name_f] [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] - I like [name_f]Lucie[/name_f], not a fan of [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] but they do work well together.
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] - this one I really like
[name_f]Lottie[/name_f] [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f]/[name_f]Rebekah[/name_f] - I prefer [name_f]Lottie[/name_f] [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f]
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f] - not a fan of [name_f]Florence[/name_f] but it compliments [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] well
[name_f]Henrietta[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] - lovely
[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] - sweet
[name_f]Minnie[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] - I feel like turns into Minnio [name_f]Phelia[/name_f] and while I like (love) both names, I’m not keen on them together in this order.
[name_f]Jemima[/name_f] [name_f]Emily[/name_f]/[name_f]Jemima[/name_f] [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] - [name_f]Jemima[/name_f] [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] would be my pick.
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Holly[/name_f] - nice
[name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] - sounds great
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] - this one is a bit choppy. A suggestions would be [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Lucie[/name_f].
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] - I really like this one
[name_f]Eva[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] - nice
[name_f]Agatha[/name_f] [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]/[name_f]Lucie[/name_f] - lovely
[name_f]My[/name_f] favorite is [name_f]Betsy[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]. I usually prefer [name_f]Betsy[/name_f] as a nickname, but the combo is very charming.
[name_f]Carrie[/name_f] [name_f]Viola[/name_f]/[name_f]Carrie[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] - [name_f]Carrie[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] has a great flow and rhythm to it.
[name_f]Betsy[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] - Very old fashioned! I like it a lot.
[name_f]Elsie[/name_f] [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f] - Not a fan of this combo. I do have a soft spot for [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f]. I like it, but I wouldn’t use it myself because it feels a bit dated.
[name_f]Lucie[/name_f] [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] - Nice combo. I prefer the [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] spelling. In my opinion [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] would looks better written out.
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] - Very nice. I adore [name_f]Matilda[/name_f].
[name_f]Lottie[/name_f] [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f]/[name_f]Rebekah[/name_f] - I adore the [name_f]Rebekah[/name_f] spelling. Something about it pops out to me more than [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f]. This doesn’t have very good flow. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you like [name_f]Rebekah[/name_f] as a first name? [name_f]Rebekah[/name_f] [name_f]Lottie[/name_f] would flow much better.
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f] - This is lovely. I’m not a big fan of [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], but it goes really well with [name_f]Florence[/name_f]. It has a very vintage chic feel to it. The flow is a bit off, but it’s not that bad. [name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] works better.
[name_f]Henrietta[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] - If I didn’t have [name_m]Henry[/name_m] as my number two boy name, I would have [name_f]Henrietta[/name_f] on my list. It’s very sweet. I like both names in this combo, but the back to back ‘t’ sounds bother me.
[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] - Nice combo. A bit trendy, but it works well.
[name_f]Minnie[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] - [name_f]Minnie[/name_f] is so cute! I don’t think [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] works well with it.
[name_f]Jemima[/name_f] [name_f]Emily[/name_f]/[name_f]Jemima[/name_f] [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] - I wish [name_f]Jemima[/name_f] didn’t have such strong associations. It’s a very sweet and charming name. I’m not a fan of ‘mim’ and ‘em’ together. [name_f]Jemima[/name_f] [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] is nice and it has great nickname potential.
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Holly[/name_f] - Not the best flow, but it works. I adore [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f].
[name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] - I really like this one. I love seeing another [name_f]Martha[/name_f] fan. Very sweet and old fashioned.
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] - I like the thought of it, but I don’t know about the names together. [name_m]Both[/name_m] are really great names, but it clashes a bit in style.
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] - I don’t love it, but it’s a nice combination.
[name_f]Eva[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] - I’m one of those who don’t like to pair names that end in the same letter, but this works. I really like both names, especially [name_f]Matilda[/name_f].
[name_f]Agatha[/name_f] [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]/[name_f]Lucie[/name_f] - Really nice! [name_f]Agatha[/name_f] works really well with [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]. I much prefer [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] over [name_f]Lucie[/name_f].
@ikfly - [name_f]Martha[/name_f]'s been one of my favourites for a while, actually! I love your suggestions of [name_f]Eva[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f], [name_f]Henrietta[/name_f] [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], [name_f]Minnie[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f] and [name_f]Minnie[/name_f] [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f], thanks
Thanks everyone! I think I’ve got a few more things to sort with this list before I finalize any combos, but now I have lots of ideas!
, but feel free to suggest new MN ideas!
Thank you!
Still on my list, but I’m taking a break from it, haha. I doubt I would nickname [name_f]Henrietta[/name_f] if i’m honest, I sort of see it as like, if I wanted to always use [name_f]Hettie[/name_f] or [name_f]Hattie[/name_f], then that’s what I’d call her. I did get a bit defensive of [name_f]Jemima[/name_f], as she’s a favourite of mine, and I dislike being told what I can/cannot use when the name has a lot more connections than the one bad one that’s being focused on. I do really like [name_f]Jemima[/name_f] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]! Thank you 
i second [name_f]Hettie[/name_f] [name_f]Isabel[/name_f] too.
