Last name sounds like Garris. What do you think? [name]Do[/name] any of them stand out to you in a good way? [name]Do[/name] any make you cringe? What is your favorite? [name]Do[/name] you like a name but not a combo? Suggestions? Honest thoughts, first impressions, and personal opinions welcome.
[name]Corinne[/name] [name]River[/name] - [name]Corinne[/name] is a great name. I like [name]River[/name] less, but it’s nice. [name]Don[/name]'t love the 2-2 rhythm. Or the repeating ri sequence.
[name]Mayim[/name] [name]Ayelet[/name] - [name]Both[/name] nice names, I like the Hebrew connection and the 2-3 rhythm. There’s a lot of long I sound here though.
[name]Jasper[/name] [name]Margaret[/name] - I do not care for [name]Jasper[/name] on a girl, even though it can work. Good rhythm. [name]Margaret[/name] [name]Jasper[/name] would be awesome!
[name]Clover[/name] [name]Colette[/name] - Too much alliteration and 2 syllable rhythm and both two cute for me.
[name]Edith[/name] [name]Lorelei[/name] - This is a great combo. 2-3 rhythm, and the old ladiness of [name]Edith[/name] balances to fresh modern [name]Lorelei[/name] great!
[name]Maybeth[/name] [name]Morgan[/name] - M is a good letter for alliteration, but don’t love this. 2-2 rhythm, [name]Maybeth[/name] is a little smooshy.
[name]Celie[/name] [name]Alice[/name] - both nice names but [name]Celie[/name] would have spelling and prn issues and there is way too much sound overlap here.
[name]Miriam[/name] [name]Lilac[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name]! [name]Miriam[/name] [name]Lily[/name] is one I have long considered. [name]Both[/name] great names, great balance, love!
[name]Corinna[/name] [name]Leire[/name] (lay-ree) - I like it. Not wide about it but it’s nice.
[name]Saskia[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] - This has great rhythm and both names are attractive. To me it has notes of trying too hard, but I like it.
[name]Adelaine[/name] [name]Lark[/name] - I’d prefer [name]Adelaide[/name] or [name]Adeline[/name], [name]Adelaine[/name] looks smooshy. Great rhythm and balance though.
[name]Leonie[/name] [name]Norabel[/name] - [name]Love[/name] [name]Leonie[/name], [name]Norabel[/name] is a bit made up for me. 3-3 rhythm isn’t great. [name]Leonie[/name] [name]Mirabel[/name] would be better.
[name]Anna[/name] [name]Pomona[/name] - don’t love the matching endings but do love both names. [name]Anne[/name] [name]Pomona[/name]?
[name]River[/name] [name]Lucienne[/name] - [name]Don[/name]'t love [name]River[/name] but good rhythm and they combine well. I’d like [name]Lucienne[/name] [name]River[/name] better.
[name]Miriam[/name] [name]Lilac[/name] is my favorite, and [name]Edith[/name] [name]Lorelei[/name] is also great (they’d be great sisters!). [name]Celie[/name] [name]Alice[/name] is probably my least favorite.
Here are some rearrangement suggestions:
The one tha stands out to be is [name]Saskia[/name] [name]Blythe[/name]. [name]Miriam[/name] [name]Lilac[/name] is also pretty. I like the sound of [name]Saskia[/name] [name]Clover[/name], and [name]Saskia[/name] [name]Lilac[/name]. The only one I don’t really like is [name]Jasper[/name] [name]Margaret[/name].
[name]Corinne[/name] [name]River[/name]- I’m glad to see someone considering [name]Corinne[/name]! [name]River[/name] is sort of meh to me, but I love [name]Corinne[/name].
[name]Mayim[/name] [name]Ayelet[/name]- I [name]LOVE[/name] both names individually, but together it’s VERY Hebrew and it really runs together- it sounds like “[name]Maya[/name] [name]Maya[/name] Let”
[name]Jasper[/name] [name]Margaret[/name]- Definitely not a fan of [name]Jasper[/name]. I find it pretty cringe-worthy on a boy and for me it’s even worse on a agirl. I do like [name]Margaret[/name], though.
[name]Clover[/name] [name]Colette[/name]- I think [name]Clover[/name] might be a bit much for a first, but I like it in the middle and I absolutely love [name]Colette[/name].
[name]Edith[/name] [name]Lorelei[/name]- Not a fan of either name.
[name]Maybeth[/name] [name]Morgan[/name]- [name]Maybeth[/name] is very hick to me, and [name]Morgan[/name] is a bit dated.
[name]Celie[/name] [name]Alice[/name]- I love [name]Celie[/name], but I think [name]Celia[/name] or [name]Cecilia[/name] would be better with [name]Celie[/name] as a nickname.
[name]Miriam[/name] [name]Lilac[/name]- I really like this.
[name]Corinna[/name] [name]Leire[/name] (lay-ree)- I really like this too!
[name]Saskia[/name] [name]Blythe[/name]- I’ve never been a fan of [name]Blythe[/name]- it makes me think of “blegh” and “belch” and “blugh-” but [name]Saskia[/name] is one of my all time favorite names.
[name]Adelaine[/name] [name]Lark[/name]- Very pretty.
[name]Leonie[/name] [name]Norabel[/name]- Very nice. I’m not sure if I like [name]Norabel[/name] on its own, but it flows very well with [name]Leonie[/name].
[name]Anna[/name] [name]Pomona[/name]- I love this! [name]Pomona[/name] is so unexpected with [name]Anna[/name].
[name]River[/name] [name]Lucienne[/name]- I love [name]Lucienne[/name], so-so on [name]River[/name].
[name]Clover[/name] [name]Colette[/name] stood out to me because I love both names; I have them on my list. Not sure how I like the flow of them together, but these are both beautiful, uncommon names. The only name I really dislike from your list is [name]Leonie[/name] [name]Norabel[/name]
[name]Corinne[/name] [name]River[/name] - not a fan of either of these
[name]Mayim[/name] [name]Ayelet[/name] - OK
[name]Jasper[/name] [name]Margaret[/name] - I dont like [name]Jasper[/name] on a boy, much less a girl
[name]Clover[/name] [name]Colette[/name] - love, love [name]Clover[/name]. [name]Colette[/name] does nothing for me though. [name]Clio[/name] I love also
[name]Edith[/name] [name]Lorelei[/name] - possibly my favourite. The flow is spot on
[name]Maybeth[/name] [name]Morgan[/name] - not a fan of either of these names.
[name]Celie[/name] [name]Alice[/name] - not sute I know how to say [name]Celie[/name]. [name]Celia[/name] [name]Alice[/name] is nice
[name]Miriam[/name] [name]Lilac[/name] - I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Lilac[/name], not a huge fan of [name]Miriam[/name], but I like the NN [name]Mim[/name].
[name]Corinna[/name] [name]Leire[/name] (lay-ree) - OK
[name]Saskia[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] - Like [name]Saskia[/name], just not a fan of [name]Blythe[/name].
[name]Adelaine[/name] [name]Lark[/name] - very, very nice
[name]Leonie[/name] [name]Norabel[/name] - [name]Leonie[/name] isn’t pretty in my book. [name]Lenora[/name], [name]Leonora[/name], [name]Liora[/name] are all great though
[name]Anna[/name] [name]Pomona[/name] - [name]Anna[/name] [name]Primrose[/name]?
[name]River[/name] [name]Lucienne[/name] - not a fan of river
[name]Adelaine[/name] [name]Lark[/name] or [name]Edith[/name] [name]Lorelai[/name] are my favourites.

tay2thestars- thanks for your feedback I really like [name]Saskia[/name] [name]Clover[/name] and [name]Saskia[/name] [name]Lilac[/name], both.
daisy451- I love [name]Corinne[/name] It feels classy to me for some reason. What would you pair it with to sound best with Garris? I see what you are saying about [name]Mayim[/name] [name]Ayelet[/name]. Thank you for going into detail on all the names. I appreciate your input!
scgskye- Is there a pairing using [name]Clover[/name] or [name]Colette[/name] that sounds better to your ear with Garris? Thank you for your thoughts.
emelis- Thank you for going into such detail with my combos! I love the nichkname [name]Mim[/name], I also love [name]Mimi[/name]. Thanks for your suggestions, too. I like [name]Clover[/name] [name]Margaret[/name] & [name]Saskia[/name] [name]Norabel[/name].
Thanks everyone! Your thoughts on my list are super helpful. I really appreciate the feedback I get from Berries. More is welcome!
[name]Corinne[/name] [name]River[/name] - Okay. I’ve never been a huge fan of [name]River[/name], but it does sound nice in this combo.
[name]Mayim[/name] [name]Ayelet[/name] - [name]Mayim[/name] is kind of cute, but I don’t like [name]Ayelet[/name]. It reminds me of eyelet.
[name]Jasper[/name] [name]Margaret[/name] - I really do not like [name]Jasper[/name] for a girl, but [name]Margaret[/name] is awesomesauce.
[name]Clover[/name] [name]Colette[/name] - This is really cute, I really like the alliteration.
[name]Edith[/name] [name]Lorelei[/name] - I don’t mind [name]Edith[/name] and I love [name]Lorelei[/name], but I don’t like how they sound together.
[name]Maybeth[/name] [name]Morgan[/name] - This sounds like a 1920’s/30’s female detective in a serial or something. It’s coolgroovy.
[name]Celie[/name] [name]Alice[/name] - I love love love [name]Alice[/name]. I do not like [name]Celie[/name]. It sounds odd and incomplete to me.
[name]Miriam[/name] [name]Lilac[/name] - I love [name]Miriam[/name], but I’m not a huge fan of it with [name]Lilac[/name] which is so frilly next to classic, lovely [name]Miriam[/name].
[name]Corinna[/name] [name]Leire[/name] (lay-ree) - [name]Corinna[/name] is okay, [name]Leire[/name] seems made up.
[name]Saskia[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] - I love [name]Saskia[/name], I would be too chicken to use it myself unless I married a Russian, lol. [name]Blythe[/name] is one of those names that, to me, seems to fall out of people’s mouths. Like Blah.
[name]Adelaine[/name] [name]Lark[/name] - [name]Adelaine[/name] is one I’ve never heard befor, but I actually don’t mind it. It is super cute with [name]Lark[/name].
[name]Leonie[/name] [name]Norabel[/name] - [name]Love[/name] [name]Leonie[/name], [name]Norabel[/name] is a little odd.
[name]Anna[/name] [name]Pomona[/name] - This combo sounds off and clunky to my ears.
[name]River[/name] [name]Lucienne[/name] - [name]River[/name], again, not a huge fan. [name]Lucienne[/name] is cute.
Top picks: [name]Clover[/name] [name]Colette[/name] and [name]Adelaine[/name] [name]Lark[/name] (Runner-up: [name]Maybeth[/name] [name]Morgan[/name] - I really like the vibe of it)
Not so much: [name]Corinna[/name] [name]Leire[/name] and [name]Anna[/name] [name]Pomona[/name] ([name]Just[/name] squeaked by: [name]Mayim[/name] [name]Ayelet[/name])
My favorite is [name]Adelaine[/name] [name]Lark[/name], though I prefer [name]Adeline[/name]. [name]Adeline[/name] is graceful and meandering, and [name]Lark[/name] is crisp and strong. A very sunny and (as Jesba said) nicely balanced name.
My favourite is [name]Clover[/name] [name]Colette[/name]. I also like the names:
[name]Jasper[/name]
[name]Miriam[/name]
[name]Lilac[/name]
[name]Alice[/name]
[name]Corinne[/name] [name]River[/name] - I really love this one. Two of my favourite names, and they make such a beautiful combo.
[name]Mayim[/name] [name]Ayelet[/name] - Too many y’s for my taste. [name]Mayim[/name] is a very pretty name though.
[name]Jasper[/name] [name]Margaret[/name] - I didn’t think I would say this, but I sort of like [name]Jasper[/name] on a girl! It’s lovely with [name]Margaret[/name].
[name]Clover[/name] [name]Colette[/name] - Again, two of my favourites. I like alliteration, but maybe there are too many similar letters in this one.
[name]Edith[/name] [name]Lorelei[/name] - [name]Love[/name] this one too. Spunky and unexpected.
[name]Maybeth[/name] [name]Morgan[/name] - vicioustrollop9 said it best. coolgroovy!
[name]Celie[/name] [name]Alice[/name] - The sounds in these two names are too alike. I love [name]Alice[/name].
[name]Miriam[/name] [name]Lilac[/name] - Very pretty, maybe too frilly.
[name]Corinna[/name] [name]Leire[/name] (lay-ree) - It’s ok.
[name]Saskia[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] - I love [name]Blythe[/name] and [name]Saskia[/name] too, and they work beautifully together.
[name]Adelaine[/name] [name]Lark[/name] - Gorgeous.
[name]Leonie[/name] [name]Norabel[/name] - This is very pretty. I don’t really like -bel endings, but here it works nicely.
[name]Anna[/name] [name]Pomona[/name] - I love [name]Anna[/name], but not with [name]Pomona[/name].
[name]River[/name] [name]Lucienne[/name] - My absolute favourite on your list. [name]River[/name] as a first name for a girl is lovely. [name]Lucienne[/name] is beautiful.
[name]Corinne[/name] [name]River[/name] - I think both names but not together. [name]Corinne[/name] [name]Ayelet[/name]? [name]Corinne[/name] [name]Clover[/name]?
[name]Mayim[/name] [name]Ayelet[/name] - I don’t like [name]Mayim[/name] as a first. [name]Ayelet[/name] is pretty though! [name]Miriam[/name] [name]Ayelet[/name]?
[name]Jasper[/name] [name]Margaret[/name] - I do not like [name]Jasper[/name] for a girl. What about [name]Aspen[/name]?
[name]Clover[/name] [name]Colette[/name] - very pretty, has a lot of personality, this is my favorite of your combinations.
[name]Edith[/name] [name]Lorelei[/name] - I like [name]Lorelei[/name] [name]Edith[/name] better. Or [name]Lorelei[/name] [name]Alice[/name]?
[name]Maybeth[/name] [name]Morgan[/name] - I’m not fond of [name]Morgan[/name]. I’d prefer [name]Maybeth[/name] as a middle as it sounds very smooshy.
[name]Celie[/name] [name]Alice[/name] - runs together a lot! Celiealis sounds like a medication. Absolutely love [name]Alice[/name]! [name]Celie[/name] is cute too, but I prefer as a nn for [name]Celia[/name] or [name]Cecily[/name] or [name]Cecelia[/name] etc.
[name]Miriam[/name] [name]Lilac[/name] - pretty, not bad, just don’t have much joie de vivre
[name]Corinna[/name] [name]Leire[/name] (lay-ree) - [name]Larry[/name]? no. I adore the name [name]Corrina[/name] though. [name]Corinna[/name] [name]Blythe[/name]? [name]Corinna[/name] [name]Lark[/name]?
[name]Saskia[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] - I’m not a fan of [name]Saskia[/name], [name]Blythe[/name] is lovely though!
[name]Adelaine[/name] [name]Lark[/name] - this is pretty, probably my second favorite to [name]Clover[/name] [name]Colette[/name], but [name]Adelaine[/name] looks made up
[name]Leonie[/name] [name]Norabel[/name] - I really like [name]Norabel[/name]! only so so on [name]Leonie[/name], I prefer it as a middle. [name]Norabel[/name] [name]River[/name]?
[name]Anna[/name] [name]Pomona[/name] - I live near [name]Pomona[/name] so…all I hear is the city name, like [name]Anna[/name] [name]Miami[/name]! lol
[name]River[/name] [name]Lucienne[/name] - very specific, sounds like a real name of a river
[name]Corinne[/name] [name]River[/name] - I don’t care for [name]Corinne[/name], but I like [name]River[/name] in the middle
[name]Mayim[/name] [name]Ayelet[/name] - I don’t care for either name or the pairing
[name]Jasper[/name] [name]Margaret[/name] - To me, [name]Jasper[/name] is only a boys name and should stay there
[name]Clover[/name] [name]Colette[/name] - I’m not usually an alliteration fan, but I like this, [name]Colette[/name] is serious enough to help quirky [name]Clover[/name]
[name]Edith[/name] [name]Lorelei[/name] - beautiful, really nice combo
[name]Maybeth[/name] [name]Morgan[/name] - I don’t like the the ‘-beth’. [name]May[/name] [name]Morgan[/name], maybe.
[name]Celie[/name] [name]Alice[/name] - I’d prefer [name]Celia[/name] or [name]Cecelia[/name]
[name]Miriam[/name] [name]Lilac[/name] - [name]Lovely[/name]
[name]Corinna[/name] [name]Leire[/name] (lay-ree) - I don’t like either name or the combo
[name]Saskia[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] - Very pretty, big fan of both names and they make a nice pair
[name]Adelaine[/name] [name]Lark[/name] - pretty
[name]Leonie[/name] [name]Norabel[/name] - ehhh, I don’t mind it, but I’m not loving it
[name]Anna[/name] [name]Pomona[/name] - I don’t like that both names end in “a”
[name]River[/name] [name]Lucienne[/name] - sigh…I want to like it, but I can’t quite get there
[name]Corinne[/name] [name]River[/name] - I like this one. Also like [name]Corinna[/name] or [name]Carina[/name]
[name]Mayim[/name] [name]Ayelet[/name] - [name]Mayim[/name] is ok, don’t like [name]Ayelet[/name]
[name]Jasper[/name] [name]Margaret[/name] - don’t like [name]Jasper[/name] on a girl
[name]Clover[/name] [name]Colette[/name] - [name]Don[/name]'t like the alliteration here. What about [name]Clover[/name] [name]Lorelei[/name]?
[name]Edith[/name] [name]Lorelei[/name] - [name]Love[/name] [name]Lorelei[/name], don’t like [name]Edith[/name]. What about [name]Agatha[/name]?
[name]Maybeth[/name] [name]Morgan[/name] - [name]Don[/name]'t like this one. [name]Maybeth[/name] looks made-up
[name]Celie[/name] [name]Alice[/name] - Sounds are too repetitive. Prefer something like [name]Cecilia[/name] [name]Margaret[/name]
[name]Miriam[/name] [name]Lilac[/name] - [name]Love[/name] this one
[name]Corinna[/name] [name]Leire[/name] (lay-ree) - would prefer [name]Corinna[/name] [name]Lilac[/name]
[name]Saskia[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] - [name]Love[/name] this one too
[name]Adelaine[/name] [name]Lark[/name] - surprising combo. Like it.
[name]Leonie[/name] [name]Norabel[/name] - Like [name]Leonie[/name], hate [name]Norabel[/name]
[name]Anna[/name] [name]Pomona[/name] - don’t like this combo. What about [name]Anna[/name] [name]Paloma[/name]?
[name]River[/name] [name]Lucienne[/name] - ok
My favorite choices would be [name]Corrine[/name] [name]River[/name], [name]Miriam[/name] [name]Lilac[/name] and [name]Saskia[/name] [name]Blythe[/name].
I really like [name]Saskia[/name] [name]Clover[/name] and [name]Saskia[/name] [name]Lilac[/name], both.
