Are any of these combos any good? Which don’t work? Which is your favorite? Are they usable in real life? Does the meaning change how you feel about the combo? Can they be rearranged at all to be better? Are there any stand out names in the mix? Suggestions? Thanks!

The meanings don’t make me feel differently about the names, they just add to them.
I love these from your list:
[name]Aquilo[/name] [name]Raphael[/name] - eagle / God has healed – i think this one would flow better and go better with the other names as [name]Raphael[/name] [name]Aquilo[/name]
[name]Arthur[/name] [name]Sylvan[/name] - bear / from the forest
[name]Griffin[/name] [name]Charles[/name] - strong lord, mythological half eagle & half lion creature / free man
[name]Livana[/name] [name]Soleil[/name] - the moon, white / sun
[name]Nova[/name] [name]Guinevere[/name] - new, chasing butterflies / white shadow, white wave – i also think the flow and feel with the other names would be better [name]Guinevere[/name] [name]Nova[/name]
[name]Imogen[/name] [name]Elara[/name] - beloved child / mythology name, moon of [name]Jupiter[/name]
[name]Elowen[/name] [name]Valencia[/name] - elm / strong, brave
I like a lot of your names individually too – [name]Leander[/name], [name]Fraser[/name], [name]Reverie[/name], [name]Xanthene[/name], [name]Leontyne[/name]
[name]Samson[/name] [name]Brio[/name] - This has a great, upbeat sound.
[name]Reuben[/name] [name]Isaac[/name] - I love this one! [name]Reuben[/name] is a really great name and I also like [name]Isaac[/name] and its meaning!
[name]Aquilo[/name] [name]Raphael[/name] - I agree with the pp’s suggestion of making this one [name]Raphael[/name] [name]Aquilo[/name]
[name]Gavin[/name] [name]Jorah[/name] - This one isn’t my style and [name]Jorah[/name] sounds feminine to me.
[name]Leander[/name] [name]Galen[/name] - nms, but [name]Leander[/name] is cool
[name]Ezekiel[/name] [name]Franklin[/name] - I like the alliteration in this combo! Sounds very “grandpa name” in a good way.
[name]Arthur[/name] [name]Sylvan[/name] - This one together sounds too medieval. Perhaps you could do [name]Reuben[/name] [name]Arthur[/name] or [name]Ezekiel[/name] [name]Sylvan[/name].
[name]Lowell[/name] [name]Fraser[/name] - This combo is really neat, I love it! Reminds me of a lumber-jack, but I can also see it on a really studious guy. [name]Fraser[/name] would make a great fn too! I’m thinking maybe [name]Fraser[/name] [name]Galen[/name] or [name]Fraser[/name] [name]Charles[/name].
[name]Griffin[/name] [name]Charles[/name] - [name]Griffin[/name] isn’t my style, but it sounds great with [name]Charles[/name]!
[name]Livana[/name] [name]Soleil[/name] - It is a little bit odd to me to be named after the sun and the moon. Seems a little too themed, I guess.
[name]Gwyneira[/name] Brontë - [name]Gwyneira[/name] isn’t my style, but I love [name]Bronte[/name]!
[name]Tallulah[/name] [name]Reverie[/name] - I don’t know how to describe the feel of this name…All I can think of is that it doesn’t seem grounded. I guess maybe I think a name like [name]Tallulah[/name] needs a mn that end in a consonant? [name]Tallulah[/name] [name]Cosette[/name], for example.
[name]Esme[/name] [name]Jovienne[/name] - [name]Love[/name] [name]Esme[/name] and it sounds great with [name]Jovienne[/name]!
[name]Miriam[/name] Norabell - This is so pretty!
[name]Tabitha[/name] [name]Lucine[/name] - This one doesn’t sound pretty to me.
[name]Nova[/name] [name]Guinevere[/name] - I like the alliteration in this one!
[name]Imogen[/name] [name]Elara[/name] - This one is pretty and sweet.
[name]Aurora[/name] [name]Mazarine[/name] - [name]Both[/name] names are nice, but they seem like too much together. Perhaps [name]Aurora[/name] [name]Lucine[/name] or [name]Ayelet[/name] [name]Mazarine[/name]?
[name]Elowen[/name] [name]Valencia[/name] - [name]Elowen[/name] is really beautiful! I’m not familiar with [name]Valencia[/name], but I really like its sound and meaning!
[name]Ayelet[/name] [name]Xanthene[/name] - [name]Ayelet[/name] is great! This combo sounds a bit harsh or consonant-heavy though. I like [name]Ayelet[/name] [name]Reverie[/name] or [name]Ayelet[/name] [name]Bronte[/name] better.
[name]Neoma[/name] [name]Leontyne[/name] - [name]Neoma[/name] is really unique and nice, but I don’t like [name]Leontyne[/name].
[name]Hope[/name] that helps!
Oh, forgot to put my favorites!
For boys:
[name]Reuben[/name] [name]Isaac[/name]
[name]Ezekiel[/name] [name]Franklin[/name]
[name]Lowell[/name] [name]Fraser[/name]
For girls:
[name]Esme[/name] [name]Jovienne[/name]
[name]Miriam[/name] Norabell
[name]Nova[/name] [name]Guinevere[/name]
[name]Imogen[/name] [name]Elara[/name]
Thanks everyone!
I really appreciate the feedback of other Berries
[name]Angel[/name] - I always value your opinion. I love your taste in naming so I really appreciate your input. I love the flow of [name]Raphael[/name] [name]Aquilo[/name] but I couldn’t use it [name]IRL[/name] because the last name starts with G. I seem to gravitate toward putting an A name in the middle and it causes so much trouble for me.
sunshine.10 - thank you for taking the time to go through them all! I agree with you about [name]Tallulah[/name] [name]Reverie[/name]. Re-reading it they are a bit much together but [name]Tallulah[/name] [name]Cosette[/name] makes me smile. [name]Reuben[/name] [name]Arthur[/name] makes me swoon and cry at the same time. I love the combo so much but initials would spell RAG and that’s one of the initial sets I am looking to avoid :(. What a great name though - [name]Reuben[/name] [name]Arthur[/name]! I also loved the way you described [name]Lowell[/name] [name]Fraser[/name] & [name]Ezekiel[/name] [name]Franklin[/name]. Thank you for your in depth analysis.
lexiem - thanks for going through my list. I love the flow of [name]Isaac[/name] [name]Reuben[/name]. I am a fan of [name]Reuben[/name] in the first spot & my SO likes it ‘not at all’ so maybe this would be a happy middle for us. [name]Leonie[/name] [name]Neoma[/name] is [name]Ah[/name]-MAZE-ing. I have a huge crush on all the ‘lion’ names and I can’t pick a favorite. [name]How[/name] did you know? haha

I really respect your thoughts and opinions. This list is a work in progress and your comments help me sort my feelings out more than you know.
