[name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_u]Blake[/name_u] (Gorgeous!)
[name_u]Quincy[/name_u] [name_f]Jade[/name_f] (Especially QJ as a nickname)
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_u]Holland[/name_u] (I don’t typically like [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] but it sounds good with [name_u]Holland[/name_u])
[name_u]Scout[/name_u] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] (Stunning)
[name_u]Spencer[/name_u] [name_f]Jade[/name_f] (SJ - even better)
What I’d get rid of -
[name_m]Swede[/name_m] (It reminds me of the vegetable maybe [name_u]Shiloh[/name_u] , [name_u]Sage[/name_u] , [name_u]Salem[/name_u] or [name_f]Serena[/name_f] in it’s place?)
[name_m]Otis[/name_m] [name_f]Alienor[/name_f] (Now I am not a great believer that boys names for girls is an actual thing. However [name_m]Otis[/name_m] fits that bill for me and honestly I’m not sure about it.)
For [name_f]Orla[/name_f], out of all your options, I like [name_f]Grace[/name_f] the best. I think it balances out [name_f]Orla[/name_f], and I like the shortness of the combo overall. My second choice would be [name_f]Orla[/name_f] [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], and I don’t mind [name_f]Orla[/name_f] [name_f]Delphine[/name_f]. I personally would remove [name_f]Orla[/name_f] [name_u]Bailey[/name_u] and [name_f]Orla[/name_f] [name_f]Chelsey[/name_f] - they seem very trendy/dated next to [name_f]Orla[/name_f] imo. [name_m]Augustine[/name_m] seems very masculine to me.
I would remove [name_m]Otis[/name_m] [name_f]Alienor[/name_f] in favor of [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]. I just can’t see [name_m]Otis[/name_m] as a girl’s name, and I prefer the [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] spelling.
Combos that I would keep…
[name_f]Sofie[/name_f] [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f] - would prefer the [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] spelling, but I looovvve [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f]!)
[name_u]Quincy[/name_u] [name_f]Jade[/name_f] and [name_u]Spencer[/name_u] [name_f]Jade[/name_f] - love the spunkness of a more masculine name paired with such a short and fiesty middle like [name_f]Jade[/name_f]
[name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_u]Blake[/name_u] (over [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Olive[/name_f] - all the “l” sounds run into each other imo)
[name_f]Valentina[/name_f] [name_f]Maple[/name_f]
[name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_u]Holland[/name_u] (over [name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] - I think [name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_u]Holland[/name_u] would age better)
Combos I don’t care for…
[name_f]Soleil[/name_f] [name_u]Ever[/name_u]- too wordy for my taste
[name_f]Wednesday[/name_f] [name_f]Pippa[/name_f] - I think if this combo were flipped, it would flow better and be easier to wear
[name_m]Swede[/name_m] [name_f]Lucinda[/name_f] and [name_m]Swede[/name_m] [name_u]Ocean[/name_u] - [name_m]Swede[/name_m] just doesn’t seem like a name to me sorry
[name_f]Taryn[/name_f] [name_f]Larissa[/name_f] and Troian [name_u]Kennedy[/name_u] - the fns feel very trendy
[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] - these two just do not seem to go together, imo. [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] [name_u]Ever[/name_u] or [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] [name_u]Scout[/name_u]?
[name_u]Scout[/name_u] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] - I like [name_u]Scout[/name_u] a lot, naf of it with [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]. Maybe [name_u]Scout[/name_u] [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] or [name_u]Scout[/name_u] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]?
I think some of your names are a bit of a mash-up. You have paired uber-feminine names with masculine names and have some unimaginables here.
[name_f]October[/name_f] [name_f]Avalon[/name_f] - I can’t imagine a girl named [name_f]October[/name_f]. It’s not a pretty sound at all.
[name_f]Olena[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] - this is quite nice.
[name_f]Orla[/name_f] - all the combos. It looks like a misspelled [name_m]Oral[/name_m].
[name_m]Otis[/name_m] [name_f]Alienor[/name_f] - [name_m]Otis[/name_m] for a girl? No, just no.
[name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] - never have been a fan of [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f]
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_u]Holland[/name_u] - I like [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], but [name_u]Holland[/name_u] is a mismatch. Too harsh.
[name_u]Quincy[/name_u] [name_f]Jade[/name_f] - [name_u]Quincy[/name_u] is all boy
[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] - [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] is pretty, but not with a boy’s name for the mn
[name_f]Sabina[/name_f] [name_f]Cricket[/name_f] - [name_f]Sabina[/name_f] is pretty, but the insect connection ruins it.
[name_f]Sabrina[/name_f] [name_u]Clare[/name_u] - not a fan of a [name_f]Sabrina[/name_f], but [name_f]Sabina[/name_f] [name_u]Clare[/name_u] is nice.
[name_u]Scout[/name_u] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] - [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_u]Scout[/name_u] sounds better to me.
[name_u]Sloane[/name_u] [name_f]Camil[/name_f] - I dislike [name_u]Sloane[/name_u], and [name_f]Camil[/name_f] looks like a cut-off [name_f]Camille[/name_f]
[name_f]Sofie[/name_f] [name_f]Esmerelda[/name_f] - [name_f]Sofie[/name_f] is more of a nn to me, but [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] [name_f]Esmerelda[/name_f] is pretty.
[name_f]Soleil[/name_f] [name_u]Ever[/name_u] - never. I see “sun forever” for some reason
[name_u]Spencer[/name_u] [name_f]Jade[/name_f] - [name_u]Spencer[/name_u] is all boy.
[name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_u]Blake[/name_u] - [name_f]Stella[/name_f] is too pretty to be paired with [name_u]Blake[/name_u]
[name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Olive[/name_f] - [name_f]Olive[/name_f] sounds clunky with [name_f]Stella[/name_f]
[name_m]Swede[/name_m] [name_f]Lucinda[/name_f] & [name_m]Swede[/name_m] [name_u]Ocean[/name_u] - [name_m]Swede[/name_m], really?
Talulah [name_u]Kennedy[/name_u] - [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f] is too feminine to pair with [name_u]Kennedy[/name_u].
[name_f]Taryn[/name_f] [name_f]Larissa[/name_f] - not a fan of [name_f]Taryn[/name_f]
Troian [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] - I see Trojan
[name_f]Valentina[/name_f] [name_f]Maple[/name_f] - [name_f]Valentina[/name_f] is gorgeous, but [name_f]Maple[/name_f] looks silly with it.
Violett [name_m]Wayne[/name_m] - a misspelled [name_f]Violet[/name_f] is unattractive, and [name_m]Wayne[/name_m] is all boy (and mostly redneck in the States)
[name_f]Wednesday[/name_f] [name_f]Pippa[/name_f] - Oh my, this is just bad. CHildren named after the days of the week…I don’t get it.
[name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_u]Holland[/name_u] - [name_f]Willa[/name_f] is pretty, but I don’t like [name_u]Holland[/name_u]/
[name_f]Willow[/name_f] [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] - not a fan of [name_f]WIllow[/name_f], but [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] is gorgeous.
[name_f]Zoey[/name_f] Scholastica - this is quite nice. Original without being out there
[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] [name_u]Elliot[/name_u]: love this combo! Sweet and vintage-y with an unexpected/masculine middle. Beautiful!
[name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_u]Holland[/name_u]: i love these names separately and they sound great as a combo, but makes me think of the actress [name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_u]Holland[/name_u] (the OC, [name_m]Arrow[/name_m])
I see you have Australia as a location. From one to another, do you think [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] could be pronounced well here, or do you think it would turn more into a sloppier ‘oddilie’ sound? We are trying to decide if it’s safe but fear it won’t be well articulated. [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] is another top contender for us.
[name_f]Orla[/name_f] is really lovely. I have an Aureli@ so I find the sounds appealing, and it’s quite nice and sleek.
thanks for your input!
i have seen something about this before (not sure where) but it did get me thinking and think it comes down to how you pronoune it. i say oh-tilly pronouncing the tilly more but if you say ott-ill-ee where it kind of runs in to each other more, therefore it sounds a little like otter-lee which the laziness will come in then and might be but i think rarely as in school i believe they aren’t meant to call kids by nn so would have to be pronounces correctly with the T’s… hope this helps!!
