I would love to hear everyone’s honest opinions on these boys and girls names. Nothing too ruthless, just say which names you hate and why, or which names you love.
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Astria[/name_f] [name_f]Jade[/name_f] (We would call her [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Jade[/name_f] as a Nickname)
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Lux[/name_f] Orcades
Kleo [name_f]Narissa[/name_f]
[name_u]Juniper[/name_u] [name_f]Saoirse[/name_f]
[name_m]Draco[/name_m] [name_m]Liam[/name_m] - [name_m]Draco[/name_m] is cool but it blends into [name_m]Liam[/name_m] to become one long name that “sounds” like an adjective (Dracoliam)
[name_m]Perseus[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] - lispy with the s’s. Suggestion: [name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Perseus[/name_m]
[name_m]Rupert[/name_m] [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] - again, the names mesh together and become Rupertoliver. I hear a lot of “er” in the combo as well so it’s not ideal. I do like both names but not together. Suggestion: [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] [name_m]Draco[/name_m]
[name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_u]Orion[/name_u] - I like both names but would switch them around to [name_u]Orion[/name_u] [name_u]Luca[/name_u]. [name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] - this is the best combo on your boys list.
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Astria[/name_f] [name_f]Jade[/name_f] (We would call her [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Jade[/name_f] as a Nickname) - I like to have one word per combo so [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Jade[/name_f] is one too many in my opinion. [name_f]Astria[/name_f] sounds like another word astral. Suggestion: [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Narissa[/name_f]
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] - too many r’s and o’s that trip up the tongue.
[name_f]Lux[/name_f] Orcades - sounds like a brand of towel wipes. Sorry this is awful. [name_f]Lux[/name_f] works better in the middle spot. Suggestion: [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Lux[/name_f]
Kleo [name_f]Narissa[/name_f] - what’s wrong with [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] or [name_f]Clio[/name_f]? The “K” is too Kardasian. [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] [name_f]Saoirse[/name_f] - I think this is the best combo on your girls list.
[name_m]Draco[/name_m] - No. It’s just HP and faddy to me.
[name_m]Perseus[/name_m] - Ok for a mn
[name_m]Rupert[/name_m] [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] - Really like this. [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] is gorgeous and not overused (here)
[name_u]Luca[/name_u] and [name_m]Leo[/name_m] - absolutely love both
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Jade[/name_f] - gets a no from me. Two extremely popular names, [name_f]Lily[/name_f] is lovely but hugely over used (here), sadly now a name of it’s times
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] and [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] are both lovely but I’m seeing them everywhere on NB so I’m wondering if they are just trendy.
[name_f]Lux[/name_f] - delightful
Kleo - Not keen on the K, [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] is lovely x
[name_m]Draco[/name_m] [name_m]Liam[/name_m]–too [name_m]Harry[/name_m] [name_m]Potter[/name_m]
[name_m]Perseus[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]–[name_f]Love[/name_f] it
[name_m]Rupert[/name_m] [name_m]Oliver[/name_m]–Smart
[name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_u]Orion[/name_u]–[name_u]Luca[/name_u] always makes me think ‘girl’. I’d go with [name_m]Luke[/name_m].
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]–dull
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Astria[/name_f] [name_f]Jade[/name_f] (We would call her [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Jade[/name_f] as a Nickname)–drop [name_f]Lily[/name_f], and I love it
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]–too may Rs
[name_f]Lux[/name_f] Orcades–eh
Kleo [name_f]Narissa[/name_f]–prefer [name_f]Cleo[/name_f], but lovely
[name_u]Juniper[/name_u] [name_f]Saoirse[/name_f]–sweet!
[name_m]Draco[/name_m] [name_m]Liam[/name_m] - Despite our likes and dislikes, [name_m]Draco[/name_m] would be a HP name forever(or for a hundred years). [name_m]Draco[/name_m] [name_m]Liam[/name_m] kind of run in one word, not sure if it’s what you want.
[name_m]Perseus[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] - [name_m]Perseus[/name_m] is wonderful and very cool but [name_u]James[/name_u] sounds blah next to him(not that’s it a bad name just not enough). Too may -s too, what about [name_m]Perseus[/name_m] [name_u]Luca[/name_u] or [name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Perseus[/name_m]?
[name_m]Rupert[/name_m] [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] - in general, this is a lovely one though there are a lot of r-s.
[name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_u]Orion[/name_u] - nice, I just don’t love [name_u]Luca[/name_u].
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] - I like this, one cool name + one timeless.
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Astria[/name_f] [name_f]Jade[/name_f] (We would call her [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Jade[/name_f] as a Nickname) - Why not [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Astria[/name_f] or [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Astria[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]? [name_f]Lily[/name_f] and [name_f]Jade[/name_f] are both quite trendy so they make such a combo as well. [name_f]Lily[/name_f] and [name_f]Astria[/name_f] are nice together, I would delete [name_f]Jade[/name_f].
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] - [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] is lovely but [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is quite a common middle name. Is it a family name? If not, try to find one - they are meaningful and I am sure you will find one which goes better with [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]?
[name_f]Lux[/name_f] Orcades - I don’t really love -s ending in both names.
Kleo [name_f]Narissa[/name_f] - please spell it [name_f]Cleo[/name_f]. I’d recommends a full name like [name_f]Cleopatra[/name_f] or Cleodora or maybe [name_f]Claudia[/name_f]; [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] on its own is, sorry, kind of downmarket to me.
[name_u]Juniper[/name_u] [name_f]Saoirse[/name_f]- nice, I like this one.
Best ones: [name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_u]Orion[/name_u]/[name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] & [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] [name_f]Saoirse[/name_f].
