Your [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] combos are both lovely, but I don’t think it’s even necessary to use an S name in the middle to get [name_f]Posy[/name_f]… phonetically it works without it, and a posy is a bunch of flowers, [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] is a flower… you see what I’m saying.
The rest… eh, just don’t work for me.
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] -> [name_f]Ginger[/name_f], I don’t understand at all
[name_f]Bronte[/name_f] -> [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] is sort of weird for me since they have such massively different and distinctive origins… and Bonnie isn’t even shorter and I don’t see what Bronte is adding to it. But I do love both your combos!
[name_f]Clementine[/name_f] -> [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] works fine, it’s a stretch but I guess it’s not crazy. However, with [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] in the middle I find it sort of cringy.
I think [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] [name_f]Isadora[/name_f] is divine!
Agreed that you don’t need an S middle to make posy work, and that [name_f]Bronte[/name_f] and [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] are so different that they don’t seem like they should be the same person, and yet the same number of syllables, you’re not making the name shorter, just changing it.
[name_f]Clementine[/name_f] to cleo I really like with an O middle.
In the end I voted for your first, last, and primrose [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] (I think the less adorned [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] better balances primrose than seraphina).
Thanks for your honestly OliviaSarah. It’s purely coincidental that my [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] have ‘s’ middles. I actually just like the alliterative sound of having letters repeating in first and middle name. I realise that posey is quite natural from [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] alone.
I do hear you about the other names… They are a bit of a stretch. I think [name_f]Gin[/name_f]/[name_f]Ginny[/name_f] comes quite naturally from [name_f]Imogen[/name_f]… [name_f]Ginger[/name_f] is a stretch 
and with [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] I just love it and I like [name_f]Bronte[/name_f] too which is the only name I could find which could possibly work for [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f]. I just find [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] a bit cutesy to use by itself… There’s no space for sophistication even though I love it!
Haha, I love alliteration in combos too (not everyone’s cup of tea I guess) and I really do love [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] [name_f]Sarah[/name_f]. I agree [name_f]Sarah[/name_f]'s classic simplicity is just perfect with it.
I actually thought about [name_f]Bronte[/name_f]/[name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] for a while after than and I can actually see it working quite naturally ‘‘My parents called me [name_f]Bronte[/name_f] after the authors, but I go by [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f]’’. I guess what I dislike is when people plan intricate fuller names to grasp a nickname they love, especially when their longer form has an entire different history/origin, if you see what I mean - but it’s not my child to name, I guess! [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] IS cute, but it’s sort of just a word name too me which is why I instantly couldn’t see it working (I’m from around the Scottish/English border where it’s still used all the time).
I reread my response and think I was more blunt than I would have liked that’s what I get for trying to multi-task!
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] is a lovely name and I could understand ginger as a nickname, but especially if the middle name had another G/J sound. I haven’t had any coffee yet today so my brain isn’t cooperating with suggestions but I’m trying!
My favorite still might be [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Leonora[/name_f]… I think it’s pretty melodic when spoken. They’re both long names but neither seem particularly fussy or adorned… I really really like the two together the more I say it. [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Leonora[/name_f]… Yep, that’s my favorite!
