Hey everyone!
I thought I’d make a thread for names we’d like to try out.
Put 5 names you’d like to try out, and the next poster will rate them and give their thoughts and opinion, and so on. You can post as many times as you like!
I’ll start:
Beverlia
Lochlainn
Rosalind
Judah
Leofric
Beverlia: I don’t even like [name_f]Beverly[/name_f] honestly, but I don’t dislike this anymore than I dislike [name_f]Beverly[/name_f].
[name_m]Lochlainn[/name_m]: I have [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] on my list, but I’m not sure about this spelling.
[name_f]Rosalind[/name_f]: I’m not a [name_f]Rose[/name_f] fan, but this is very pretty!
[name_m]Judah[/name_m]: [name_f]Lovely[/name_f]!
Leofric: Eh. I really don’t like it honestly. It just doesn’t sound like a real name to me. I might not love Wulfric or [name_m]Leonard[/name_m], but at least they feel more legitimate. Sorry.
Can I try out combos?
[name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_f]Cressida[/name_f]
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Isobel[/name_f]/[name_f]Victoria[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Isobel[/name_f]
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Daphne[/name_f]
[name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f] [name_u]Bright[/name_u]
[name_f]Ruth[/name_f] [name_f]Oliviane[/name_f]
Of course! 
[name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_f]Cressida[/name_f]: I like these names separately, but together I find they contrast too much style wise. [name_f]Cressida[/name_f] sounds very elegant and old world sounding, whereas [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] sounds very preppy and happy. Perhaps [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Cressida[/name_f], or [name_f]Petunia[/name_f] [name_f]Cressida[/name_f].
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Isobel[/name_f]/ [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Isobel[/name_f]: I love Victpria [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Isobel[/name_f]! It’s gorgeous. [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] is too much Is I find
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Daphne[/name_f]: I like this, it’s sweet and lady like
[name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f] [name_u]Bright[/name_u]: I like [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f], but with [name_u]Bright[/name_u] it doesn’t work for me. [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f] already sounds very intellectual to me, and [name_u]Bright[/name_u] just adds to that association too obviously. I would try something like [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f] [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f], [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f] [name_f]Idony[/name_f], [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f] Freyja, or [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f] [name_f]Edith[/name_f]
[name_f]Ruth[/name_f] [name_f]Oliviane[/name_f]: Wow! This combo is so gorgeous, I used to dislike he name [name_f]Ruth[/name_f] but I think you’ve made me love it! It’s stunning. [name_f]Oliviane[/name_f] is perfect with it. Its a definite yes for me.
Rosalyne
Viveca
Heather
Vincent
Forsythia
Of course!

[name_f]Rosalyne[/name_f]
[name_m]Vincent[/name_m]
Othniel
[name_f]Erminia[/name_f]
[name_f]Viveca[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosalyne[/name_f]: [name_f]Lovely[/name_f] and unexpected! Different than your average Rosemarys and Rosalies. Still good for nn purposes and keeping [name_f]Rose[/name_f]/[name_f]Rosa[/name_f] in there.
[name_m]Vincent[/name_m]: Enjoy [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] but I don’t care for it’s nick names: [name_m]Vin[/name_m], [name_u]Vinny[/name_u], [name_m]Vince[/name_m]. Prefer this name as is, very classic and long!
Othniel: Definitely not one I’ve seen commonly used and perhaps because of this it’s nms. Remind me of [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] and [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] put together.
[name_f]Erminia[/name_f]: The ‘Erm’ at the beginning looks a bit awkward, but this name still sounds lovely. Would possibly prefer Arminia/[name_f]Armina[/name_f].
[name_f]Viveca[/name_f]: [name_u]Love[/name_u] how feminine it looks and the meaning is beautiful. Good pick in my opinion!
[name_m]Finnegan[/name_m] [name_u]Sterling[/name_u] (seriously can’t find a mn to fit [name_u]Finn[/name_u] w/o it sounding like a little old man or very young child)
[name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Maple[/name_f]
[name_u]Remy[/name_u] [name_m]Alexandre[/name_m]
[name_u]Francis[/name_u] Bloom
[name_f]Keira[/name_f] [name_f]Plum[/name_f]
Finnegan Sterling > 6/10 Love Finnegan but not Sterling
Clara Maple > 3/10 neither of them appealing to me
Remy Alexandre > 8/10 I love Remy
Francis Bloom >7/10 Francis is good, not sure about Bloom
Keira Plum > 5/10 I don’t like Plum
Efe
Bumin
Derin
Ece
Suvolta
Efe: I think this is lovely. It’s very sweet
Bumin: and, sorry
Derin: this is my FIL’s name. I think it’s a beautiful
Ece: it’s alright, nms
Suvolta: again it’s not really my style but it sounds pretty to me. Sounds almost Russian. Its nice
[name_m]Lochlan[/name_m]
Zelynia, nn [name_m]Zel[/name_m]
Leofric
[name_m]Vincent[/name_m]
Rosalyna
[name_m]Lochlan[/name_m], is it Irish? I became familiar with [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] but I never see [name_m]Lochlan[/name_m]. But it is nice I love it
Zelynia nn [name_m]Zel[/name_m], too feminine
Leofric, I love [name_m]Leo[/name_m] but I didn’t like Leofric
[name_m]Vincent[/name_m], a very nice name. And I say this although I don’t like V names
Rosalyna, I love [name_f]Rose[/name_f] names I think it is very cute
Batu
Mete
Ataman
Gizem
[name_u]Peri[/name_u]
Batu: nms, reminds me of bat
Mete: It’s nice
Ataman: I like this one, it’s unique
Gizem: naf, sorry
[name_u]Peri[/name_u]: I like it a lot. This spelling is nice too
Aermynia
[name_f]Heather[/name_f]
[name_m]Maverick[/name_m]
[name_m]Beowulf[/name_m]
[name_m]Ephraim[/name_m]
Aermynia - is a little too complicated compared to [name_f]Erminia[/name_f] which you asked about before… I like Aenor or [name_f]Eyre[/name_f] or [name_f]Albinia[/name_f] much better. Ermengarde is also more charming.
[name_f]Heather[/name_f] - I hate that they overused it in the 80’s, despite its beauty it just feels dated to me. I love heathers (the plant) and their wildness.
[name_m]Maverick[/name_m] - I like the idea, but in execution it’s all too cowboy for me. Would go with [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] or [name_u]Maurice[/name_u]
[name_m]Beowulf[/name_m] - this is a lot of name. I would love it in the middle spot. Not that different from Wolfram and Leofric which I see around the boards at times…
[name_m]Ephraim[/name_m] - is nice. I would love to use [name_f]Effie[/name_f] as a nickname but I don’t think he would appreciate it… Very Biblical though. I like [name_m]Eilam[/name_m] also.
[name_m]Aurelien[/name_m]
[name_m]Jupiter[/name_m]
[name_u]Amory[/name_u]
[name_m]Sylvan[/name_m]
[name_u]Corin[/name_u]/[name_u]Coren[/name_u]
[name_m]Aurelien[/name_m]: Very nice! I like it a lot
[name_m]Jupiter[/name_m]: Good for a middle
[name_u]Amory[/name_u]: [name_f]Lovely[/name_f], it’s a great name
[name_m]Sylvan[/name_m]: I like it as well. Very classic but mysterious sounding
[name_u]Corin[/name_u]/[name_u]Coren[/name_u]: I never heard this name before but I really like it! I like the spelling [name_u]Coren[/name_u].
[name_f]Vespera[/name_f]
[name_f]Raizel[/name_f] nn [name_m]Zel[/name_m]
[name_f]Julia[/name_f]
[name_m]Lowell[/name_m]
[name_f]Zelia[/name_f] nn [name_m]Zel[/name_m]
.
[name_f]Vespera[/name_f] - love this
[name_f]Raizel[/name_f] nn [name_m]Zel[/name_m] - dislike, it’s harsh-sounding and looks ugly
[name_f]Julia[/name_f] - prefer [name_f]Julienne[/name_f] or [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] or [name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_m]Lowell[/name_m] - it’s OK
[name_f]Zelia[/name_f] nn [name_m]Zel[/name_m] - like this, it’s soft-sounding, familiar and easy to pronounce
[name_f]Rosalyn[/name_f] ([name_f]Rosa[/name_f]-[name_u]Lyn[/name_u])
[name_f]Rosamund[/name_f]
[name_f]Amethyst[/name_f]
[name_m]Edgar[/name_m]
[name_m]Clarence[/name_m]
[name_f]Rosalyn[/name_f] ([name_f]Rosa[/name_f]-[name_u]Lyn[/name_u]): I love it!
[name_f]Rosamund[/name_f]: also love it
[name_f]Amethyst[/name_f]: it’s pretty as a middle, but I’m not sure about it for a first
[name_m]Edgar[/name_m]: I think it’s very handsome and strong
[name_m]Clarence[/name_m]: not sure because of the nn that may come with it being [name_u]Clare[/name_u], but I love the name. It’s strong but sweet and friendly.
Since I’m struggling with middles for the name [name_m]Anakin[/name_m], I’ll put the top ones me and my boyfriend have conjured up (he likes very eccentric/german names):
[name_m]Anakin[/name_m] [name_m]Ralf[/name_m] (means wolf counsel)
[name_m]Anakin[/name_m] [name_m]Conrad[/name_m] (means bold counsel)
[name_m]Anakin[/name_m] Jaeger (pronounced yay-ger; means [name_u]Hunter[/name_u])
[name_m]Anakin[/name_m] [name_m]Icarus[/name_m]
[name_m]Anakin[/name_m] [name_m]Harald[/name_m] (means war chief)
Suggestions are welcome
I don’t like [name_m]Anakin[/name_m]…not a fan of the [name_f]Star[/name_f] Wars reference I guess. [name_m]Anakin[/name_m] [name_m]Ralf[/name_m] is the only combo I think flows well.
[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] [name_f]Fiona[/name_f]
[name_u]Kieran[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] nn [name_u]Ren[/name_u]
[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_f]Verity[/name_f] nn [name_f]Ada[/name_f]
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_f]Evelina[/name_f] [name_f]Verity[/name_f] nn [name_f]Evie[/name_f]
[name_m]Anakin[/name_m] [name_m]Ralf[/name_m] (means wolf counsel): I’m not a huge fan of this one, I can’t get past the [name_m]Ralph[/name_m]/[name_m]Ralf[/name_m] puking association
[name_m]Anakin[/name_m] [name_m]Conrad[/name_m] (means bold counsel): [name_u]Love[/name_u] this one!
[name_m]Anakin[/name_m] Jaeger (pronounced yay-ger; means [name_u]Hunter[/name_u]): Not bad, but jager the liquor definitely comes to mind
[name_m]Anakin[/name_m] [name_m]Icarus[/name_m]: Not sure how to pronounce this one- eye-care-us?
[name_m]Anakin[/name_m] [name_m]Harald[/name_m] (means war chief): I like this one, [name_m]Harald[/name_m] is a bit softer to my ear which I like paired with [name_m]Anakin[/name_m]
[name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_m]Otto[/name_m]? I have a very [name_m]German[/name_m] last name and my dad always said he wanted one of my sibling’s middle names to be [name_m]Von[/name_m] to go with our last name- my mom never agreed, but I kind of like it!
[name_f]Estelle[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Essie[/name_f])
[name_f]Margot[/name_f]
[name_u]Winslow[/name_u] (for a girl)
[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]
[name_m]Edmund[/name_m]
[name_f]Estelle[/name_f]: not my favorite name, but I think it’s very pretty. I much prefer [name_f]Esther[/name_f]. [name_f]Essie[/name_f] is a sweet nn.
[name_f]Margot[/name_f]: [name_f]Lovely[/name_f]! I really love this spelling!
[name_u]Winslow[/name_u]: I can’t quite put my finger on why I don’t like it. [name_f]Winnie[/name_f] is a cute nn.
[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]: Honestly, I think [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is bit overrated as a flower and a name, though my distaste for the name has more to do with my distaste for the flower than the sound. [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] is pretty enough, I guess, just nms.
[name_m]Edmund[/name_m]: [name_f]Lovely[/name_f]!
[name_f]Susannah[/name_f] [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] [name_f]Niamh[/name_f] (prn [name_f]Neve[/name_f], btw)
[name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f]Sylvia/name_f [name_u]Hero[/name_u]
[name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_f]Cressida[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u] (I’ve gotten mixed reviews on this one)
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Isobel[/name_f]
[name_u]Eden[/name_u]
[name_f]Susannah[/name_f] [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] [name_f]Niamh[/name_f]- This is really pretty!
[name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_u]Hero[/name_u]- I think that [name_f]Jane[/name_f] is a bit plain with something like [name_u]Hero[/name_u] and [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] is a bit dated. [name_u]Hero[/name_u] seems way over the top.
[name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_f]Cressida[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u]- I’m not one for [name_f]Cressida[/name_f]. [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] is okay, but I prefer it as a nickname. [name_u]June[/name_u] is gorgeous.
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Isobel[/name_f]- This is really pretty!
[name_u]Eden[/name_u]- I love this!
[name_u]Blaire[/name_u] [name_f]Vela[/name_f]
[name_f]Savannah[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_u]Avery[/name_u] ([name_u]Skye[/name_u]?)
[name_f]Adelia[/name_f]
[name_u]Meredith[/name_u]
All girls names, please suggest middles for [name_u]Avery[/name_u], [name_f]Adelia[/name_f], & [name_u]Meredith[/name_u]!
[name_u]Blaire[/name_u] [name_f]Vela[/name_f] - I’m not sure that I like this combo. I think it flows better switched around to [name_f]Vela[/name_f] [name_u]Blaire[/name_u], though I do prefer [name_u]Blaire[/name_u] as a first name to [name_f]Vela[/name_f]. Maybe [name_u]Blaire[/name_u] [name_f]Ilona[/name_f]?
[name_f]Savannah[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u] - I think this a lot. Very sweet.
[name_u]Avery[/name_u] ([name_u]Skye[/name_u]?) - I’d give [name_u]Avery[/name_u] a slightly softer or more feminine middle name. [name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_u]Skye[/name_u] seems so harsh compared to your oher names. Maybe [name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_f]Lark[/name_f], or [name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_f]Sienna[/name_f]?
[name_f]Adelia[/name_f] - I actually like [name_u]Skye[/name_u] with this name. [name_f]Adelia[/name_f] [name_u]Skye[/name_u] is very pretty.
[name_u]Meredith[/name_u] - It’s ok. I feel like it’s a very different style from your other names. I’d keep the middle name short and sleek. [name_u]Meredith[/name_u] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u], or [name_u]Meredith[/name_u] [name_u]Wren[/name_u]?
Thoughts and reactions to these names.
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m]
[name_u]Tristan[/name_u]
[name_m]Godfrey[/name_m]
[name_m]Edmond[/name_m]
[name_m]Wesley[/name_m]
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m] - 7/10 I like it, and it’s got so many potential middle name combos!
[name_u]Tristan[/name_u] - 9/10 Used to be one of my absolute favorite names, since seeing the movie Stardust.
[name_m]Godfrey[/name_m] - 5/10 I prefer Godric over [name_m]Godfrey[/name_m], but it still has potential.
[name_m]Edmond[/name_m] - 7/10 I’ve always found this name to be cute. I just imagine the sweetest, cuddly little boy.
[name_m]Wesley[/name_m] - 7/10 I like this more as a middle name rather than a first name but still a very easy name to pair up.
[name_m]How[/name_m] about -
[name_f]Mia[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u]
[name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f] [name_f]Scarlet[/name_f]

[name_m]Jasper[/name_m]: I love it, it’s very mysterious but friendly
[name_u]Tristan[/name_u]: I love this name, it’s one of my favourite boy names. I have it in my signature. It’s so handsome but soft, and sounds old world
[name_m]Godfrey[/name_m]: I get a very old world impression as well from this, even more so than [name_u]Tristan[/name_u]. I I like it, it’s very spunky but not too much
[name_m]Edmond[/name_m]: this ones in my signature too, but I spelled it [name_m]Edmund[/name_m]. I love this name, and it has a great meaning. It’s very classy
[name_m]Wesley[/name_m]: I like how it sounds but it sounds a bit bratty to ms if that makes sense. Still nice though.
And here I go with middles for [name_m]Anakin[/name_m] (that’s DF’s choice, not mine and he won’t budge! Lol). He likes very masculine/animal/[name_m]German[/name_m] /eccentric names as you’ll notice 
[name_m]Anakin[/name_m] [name_m]Ralf[/name_m] (means wolf counsel)
[name_m]Anakin[/name_m] [name_m]Conrad[/name_m] (means bold counsel)
