[name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Beata[/name_f] - I find [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] kind of boring, as in, if I heard it I’d just think “Oh, another [name_f]Cathrine[/name_f]”. I’d prefer something like [name_f]Katya[/name_f]. I might be overthinking it but [name_f]Beata[/name_f] sounds too much like “beat her” or “beatle”
[name_f]Leona[/name_f] [name_f]Madelief[/name_f] - [name_u]Love[/name_u] this! Both names are very elegant and sweet! [name_f]Madelief[/name_f] is on my signature! : )
[name_f]Teodora[/name_f] [name_f]Leonie[/name_f] - I dont like [name_f]Theodora[/name_f], its the same as [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] to me but this variation makes it feel different without being obnoxious! I like it! [name_f]Leonie[/name_f] is simply adorable!
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] - [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] makes me think of butlers and [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] feels dated and boring
[name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] Ecija - [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] is very sweet and lovely! I really like its nicknames too. Ecija is certainly interesting though I wouldnt use it if I lived in an english speaking country (I assumed it was eh-see-yah) I like how it has a very strong meaning but a soft sound!
[name_f]Astrid[/name_f] [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] - I adore Nordic names and [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] is no exception!
Aleksej (ah-LEC-say) [name_m]Jona[/name_m] - I would assume Aleksej was ah-lec-SEH-ee, but I like your way of pronouncing it more! It reminds me of the Greek (and very much male) [name_f]Aleksis[/name_f]! [name_m]Jona[/name_m] seems kind of feminine, I’d spell it as [name_m]Jonah[/name_m]
Aleksej [name_m]Octavian[/name_m] - I find [name_m]Octavian[/name_m] to be a little too much
[name_u]Bellamy[/name_u] [name_f]Florence[/name_f] - [name_u]Bellamy[/name_u] just makes me think of cowboys and it feels kind of made up, sorry!! [name_f]Florence[/name_f] is sweet and very pretty, another name I have on my signature!
Andalasia [name_f]Florence[/name_f] - A very pretty and elegant combo! Andalasia is certainly unusual but its nicknames make it more familiar, I like it
