These are our compromise names of (mostly) a traditional first with a modern nickname and middle. This also depends on whether we use my surname as a second middle name as the baby will have my other half’s surname.

Harriet [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] I think is the only one I like even though it’s a pretty long list. The first names are some of the ones I dislike in general so [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] is the only first I like and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] but not a fan of the combo.

EagleEyes · August 23, 2020, 11:03pm

Great list! I really like a lot of these combos. [name_f]My[/name_f] very favorites are…
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_u]Fable[/name_u] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] “[name_u]Mattie[/name_u]”

[name_f]Eloise[/name_f] [name_f]Meadow[/name_f] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] “[name_u]Louie[/name_u]/Elle” ()
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Birdie[/name_f] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] “[name_f]Noor[/name_f]/Elle”

krisscouture · August 23, 2020, 11:04pm

So there’s too much to go through each comobo, so I’ll focus on the first name and then choose my favorite combo of the options

Matilda: 8/10 I really like [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]. [name_f]Tillie[/name_f] as a stand-alone is on my favorites list so this is a great nickname for [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]. I like the meaning of it. I do worry it’s going to get very popular though
COMBO: [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_u]Story[/name_u] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u]

Penelope: 1/10 One of my most hated names ahh don’t come for me I just kinda hate it pretty much. In Spanish pene is penis so that doesn’t help, and I just dont get the appeal whatsoever.
COMBO: [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Thora[/name_f] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] (love [name_f]Thora[/name_f]!)

Eloise: 2/10 The sound doesn’t appeal to me. It sounds almost like someone is trying too hard to be upperclass. I do think [name_u]Louie[/name_u] is sweet for a little nickname though
COMBO: [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] [name_f]Meadow[/name_f] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u]

Lorelei: 6/10 So underrated! I don’t like [name_u]Laurie[/name_u] as a nickname at all, but [name_u]Rory[/name_u] is spunky and fun. [name_f]Leelee[/name_f] could be cute too maybe?
COMBO: [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f] [name_f]Meadow[/name_f] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u]

Aurora: 3/10 I get the appeal of this one, but I just feel like I have marbles in my mouth when I say it.
COMBO: [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Birdie[/name_f] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u]

Olive: 1/10 Again, super unappealing to me. Olives aren’t a great imagery alone so I just don’t get this one.
COMBO: [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_f]Paloma[/name_f] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] (adore [name_f]Paloma[/name_f]!)

Freya: 8.5/10 I really like [name_f]Freya[/name_f]. It has a rugged, hard charm about it to me. It isn’t too popular yet but it’s another one that’s just rising and rising.
COMBO: [name_f]Freya[/name_f] [name_f]Lilac[/name_f] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] (whille [name_f]Lilac[/name_f] and [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] run into each other I don’t like [name_f]Violet[/name_f] or [name_u]Story[/name_u])

Theodora: 7/10 Oddly, I pretty much hate [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], but find [name_f]Theodora[/name_f] so unbearably charming. I think because [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] is one of the “names of the moment” that it takes away from the sparkle. [name_f]Thea[/name_f] is my personally fav nickname for this one

Eleanor: 4/10 Meh. I like the vintage charm, but it just kinda is there.
COMBO: [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Birdie[/name_f] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u]

Frances: 1/10 Never did anything for me. For boy or girl I just don’t get good vibes from this one.
COMBO: [name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u]

Harriet: 1/10 I love [name_f]Hattie[/name_f], but not [name_f]Harriet[/name_f]. I hate the Hairy sound.
COMBO: [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_f]Primrose[/name_f]

Emmeline: 10/10 I love [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]!! It’s so sweet without being too “girly” so to speak. It doesn’t end in an -a like a long of longer girl names do. [name_f]Emme[/name_f] is adorable
COMBO: [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] [name_f]Thora[/name_f]

Evelyn: 2/10 This fits so well with [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], [name_f]Frances[/name_f], [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] these kinda vintage names that are back in style again. I love that trend, but not with [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u].
COMBO: [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] [name_f]Thora[/name_f]

Beatrix: 6/10 Honestly cute. I love when names have X and Z in them makes them visually interesting. I don’t like [name_f]Trixie[/name_f], but [name_f]Bea[/name_f] is cute!
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Zelda[/name_f]

Violet: 1/10 Never liked this one, I just think “violent”

Lovely list! I think the combination of your two styles works very well.

Scater · August 23, 2020, 11:49pm

[name_f]My[/name_f] favorite first names from your list are [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f].

[name_f]My[/name_f] favorite combos, in order, are:

[name_f]Olive[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u]
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_u]Story[/name_u] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u]: reminds me of [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_m]Potter[/name_m]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_u]Story[/name_u] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u]: not huge on Matilda (still feels outdated imo) but love the bookish/literary feel
[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] [name_f]Thora[/name_f] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u]: not usually a fan of [name_f]Thora[/name_f] (reminds me of thorax) but love the flow in this combo

EllArePea · August 24, 2020, 1:09am

This is great, thanks!

Sorry everyone. I didn’t realise just how long it was until I posted It’d be great to narrow it down to one per first name for sure.

emmelinegrace · August 25, 2020, 7:34am

My Favorites are [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] [name_f]Meadow[/name_f] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u], [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f] [name_f]Meadow[/name_f] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u], [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_u]Fable[/name_u] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] and [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] [name_u]Story[/name_u] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u]!

[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Zelda[/name_f] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u]

I tried to pick my favorite combo for each of the FNs I like, but I couldn’t decide which [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] combination was my favorite.

RescuePuPs234 · August 26, 2020, 4:49am

So many good ones! I’ll just list a few that stuck out to me.

Theodora [name_u]Lyric[/name_u] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] “[name_u]Teddy[/name_u]/Thea” - mainly because [name_f]Theodora[/name_f] is my favorite girl name
[name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] - I like the balance of traditional and mystical with [name_f]Frances[/name_f] and [name_f]Lyra[/name_f]
[name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_f]Thora[/name_f] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] - on second thought, I actually prefer this [name_f]Frances[/name_f] combo! [name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_f]Thora[/name_f] sounds like a force to be reckoned with, SO strong and mighty
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] - I have [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] as a potential combo myself. I think this looks and sounds beautiful together.
[name_f]Eloise[/name_f] [name_f]Meadow[/name_f] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] “[name_u]Louie[/name_u]/Elle” - has such a calming vibe to it…very woodsy imo which I love. I also love the idea of [name_u]Louie[/name_u] as a nickname for a girl!
