  1. Haytham [name_u]Dorian[/name_u] - I like the literary feel of this and [name_u]Dorian[/name_u] is really cool

  2. [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] - my fave of your boys names - there’s something grand yet free sounding about it

  3. Laraline [name_f]Thisbe[/name_f] - Laraline is interesting and sweet and I like the flow o f the name. [name_f]Lara[/name_f] is so cute too - my fave of your girl’s names

  4. Luscinia [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] - Luscinia is a little fussy for my tastes but the sound is pleasant, it works well with [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] and [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] is lovely :slight_smile:

Out of your options, I prefer [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] and Laraline [name_f]Thisbe[/name_f]. I like the nicknames you’ve picked out and think they sound interesting and unique without being too fussy. Luscinia I’m not a huge fan of, and would probably shorten it a lot of the time. Haytham I’m not a huge fan of but I can’t put my finger on why.

All the names work well with their middles though.

Haytham [name_u]Dorian[/name_u] - This is a very handsome combination! Haytham has a laid-back, modern and a bit Southern feel, and I like that the lovely [name_u]Dorian[/name_u] adds class to it as well.
[name_m]Peregrine[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] - [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m] is so attractive and underused! I like Haytham more, but only because I dislike nickname [name_u]Perry[/name_u] and prefer [name_m]Penn[/name_m] and [name_m]Pip[/name_m]. [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] is not for me (I just think “the odour”) but it’s definitely a classic and I can see the appeal.
Laraline [name_f]Thisbe[/name_f] - Flawless! Laraline is sweet, vintage and underused and nickname [name_f]Lara[/name_f] is spunky, just like the fun [name_f]Thisbe[/name_f].
Luscinia [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] - Luscinia is nice, though I find it hard to pronounce and think she would go by [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] only. I like the use of a traditional name next to it.
