Ava Josephine - [name_f]Ava[/name_f] is a name I want to like but is so popular that it’s lost it’s sparkle for me. I do quite like [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] though. I feel like it’s a nice long classic that pairs well with the short, modern [name_f]Ava[/name_f].

Delia [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]- I haven’t heard [name_f]Delia[/name_f] before but it is a nice, sleek name. [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] is better than [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] in my opinion, but I almost feel like [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] would fit better here.

Ivy [name_f]Theodosia[/name_f]- [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] is another one I want to like but it feels incomplete to me because it is so short. [name_f]Theodosia[/name_f] is beautiful and reminds me of [name_m]Hamilton[/name_m]. Singing dear [name_f]Theodosia[/name_f] to a daughter would be perfect!

Lily Francesca - [name_f]Lilies[/name_f] are my favorite flower so of course I love this name. I don’t usually like long names like [name_f]Francesca[/name_f] but here it feels very fresh!

Ruby [name_f]Natalia[/name_f]- I knew the sweetest little girl named [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] so I have very good associations with the name. [name_f]Natalia[/name_f] is not a favorite of mine. I feel like you could find a better pairing.

Stella Carmina- I’ve loved the name [name_f]Stella[/name_f] since I read [name_f]Stellaluna[/name_f] as a child.

Willa [name_u]Simone[/name_u]- [name_f]Willa[/name_f] is nice. [name_u]Simone[/name_u] has really grown on me lately and I really like it.

Zoe [name_f]Mirabel[/name_f]- These styles really clash for me. I like [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] but [name_f]Mirabel[/name_f] doesn’t suit it.

Calvin Bo - [name_m]Calvin[/name_m] always reminds me of [name_m]Calvin[/name_m] and [name_m]Hobbes[/name_m] but it is really cute. I normally don’t use such short middles but I like the new sounds the name brings.

Elliot [name_m]Ames[/name_m]- I really like [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] and [name_m]Ames[/name_m] flows nicely with it.

Isaac Everett- This name has a lot of double letters. [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] is ok. I really like [name_u]Everett[/name_u].

Malcolm [name_u]Wallis[/name_u]- I always think of [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] in the middle. I much prefer [name_u]Wallace[/name_u] to [name_u]Wallis[/name_u].

Oscar Alfonso- I’m not huge on [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] as it makes me think of [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] [name_m]Meyer[/name_m] but I love [name_m]Alfonso[/name_m].

Reuben [name_u]Maxwell[/name_u]- I really like the name [name_m]Reuben[/name_m] which is honestly surprising for me and [name_u]Maxwell[/name_u] is one of my favorite [name_u]Max[/name_u] variations.

Theo [name_u]Benjamin[/name_u]- I prefer the full name [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] nn [name_u]Theo[/name_u] but to each their own. [name_u]Benjamin[/name_u] always sounds so bouncy, I love it.

Xavier Collin- I like the name but I think it might sound better as [name_m]Collin[/name_m] [name_m]Xavier[/name_m].

Your naming style is so cool! They sound mythological and epic, while still (mostly) being wearable and refined.

Caspian [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m]: [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] (and [name_m]Cassian[/name_m], actually) is one of my favorite boys names! It has that ocean connotation without being too nature-y, and sounds like a hero in a fable. [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m] is masculine but soft, and it sounds wonderful in this combo. 10/10
Phoenix [name_m]Apollo[/name_m]: While I like the sound of this combo, it feels like the least wearable of all your boys’ names. [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] is so out-there, I really would prefer to see it paired with something more traditional, just to make it feel like an actual name and not a superhero. 5/10
Atticus [name_m]Finnegan[/name_m]: I loveee [name_m]Atticus[/name_m]! It’s absolutely wonderful, unique and masculine and wearable. I like the irish/scottish origin of [name_m]Finnegan[/name_m], as well. It doesn’t necessarily fit with the rest of your style, but there’s some names on here that feel less like a Greek epic, and more like Outlander, and I’m here for it. 9/10
Bellamy [name_m]Knight[/name_m]: [name_u]Bellamy[/name_u] has always been in my heart with the [name_u]French[/name_u] origin, and the meaning: “beautiful friend.” [name_m]Knight[/name_m] is a little too unique for me, but it’s in the middle spot and sounds good with [name_u]Bellamy[/name_u]. 8/10
Draco [name_m]Adonis[/name_m]: The mainstream [name_u]Harry[/name_u] [name_m]Potter[/name_m] connotations of [name_m]Draco[/name_m] would make this a difficult name to give to an actual child, but I like this combo! It sounds handsome and refined, and I like the abrupt sounds in [name_m]Draco[/name_m] paired with the soft [name_m]Adonis[/name_m]. 7/10
Julian [name_u]Parker[/name_u]: This is not really a name that feels like it fits with the rest of your card. It’s perfectly cute, and I especially like [name_u]Julian[/name_u] a lot, but the popularity of [name_u]Parker[/name_u] is throwing me a little bit. I would pair familiar [name_u]Julian[/name_u] with one of your more daring middles. 6/10
Edmund [name_m]Jupiter[/name_m]: While I’m not the biggest fan of [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] (it feels dated to me), [name_m]Jupiter[/name_m] is sooo cool. It’s got mythological and astrological connotations that allow it to be show-stopping and futuristic while still not being made-up. This middle is so perfect that it overshadows the first. 7/10
Dean [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u]: This is another of those Scottish/Irish names I feel is not super fitting with most of the names on your card, but I still love the epicness of it! [name_u]Dean[/name_u] is really rugged and classic, and [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] is soft and flows so well with [name_u]Dean[/name_u]. 9/10 again for this beaut.

Octavia [name_u]Reign[/name_u]: This is definitely a QUEEN name! It is sooo powerful and elegant, I think the combo is simply beautiful! 9/10
Cordelia [name_f]Selene[/name_f]: I love [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f], but [name_f]Selene[/name_f] just sounds like saline to me. I like this first, just with a different middle. 6/10
Adelaide [name_f]Wednesday[/name_f]: Yes, a day of the week name! I adore them, even though I’m not a big fan of month or season names. [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_f]Wednesday[/name_f] is my favorite of your girls’ combos. [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] is storybook beautiful, and it sounds sweet and angelic when paired with [name_f]Wednesday[/name_f]! 10/10
Genevieve [name_f]Arwen[/name_f]: [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] used to be my favorite name of all time, and I have such a sweet spot for it still! I personally don’t love [name_f]Gen[/name_f] as a nn, but that’s really just my preference. [name_f]Arwen[/name_f] is also very cool, I’ve never heard it before, but it fits in with some of your medieval-vibes boys’ names. 8/10
Prudence [name_u]Nightingale[/name_u]: While I adore [name_u]Nightingale[/name_u] and would love it with some of your other names ([name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] [name_u]Nightingale[/name_u] :heart_eyes:), [name_f]Prudence[/name_f] sounds really dated to me. [name_m]Even[/name_m] as a virtue name, it just sounds clunky and I can’t picture it on an actual child. 5/10
Echo [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f]: [name_u]Echo[/name_u] is a little too unique for my tase, but [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f] is just beautiful! It sounds mystical and romantic, and this combo sounds feminine without being too frilly. I really like it! 8/10
Lydia [name_f]Florence[/name_f]: Well, [name_f]Florence[/name_f] is in my user card, so you know it’s one of my favorites! [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] is, to me, overused, but maybe I just happen to know several. This combo is a wonderful romantic nature set that flows so beautifully. 7/10
Calliope [name_f]Moon[/name_f]: This combo is pretty. It’s not my exact taste, but it sounds really good, especially with some of those space names that you have in the boys’ section. It doesn’t stand out in your girls’ names, but it is definitely wearable, so I like it enough. 6/10

@anon73451839 - I think you have some of the most beautiful girl names on all of nameberry in your UC. They are totally my style! [name_u]Love[/name_u] every one of them!

[name_f]Sunday[/name_f] [name_u]Lane[/name_u]- This is actually so adorable!!! It is maybe little wordy, but I like it. [name_u]Sunny[/name_u] and [name_u]Day[/name_u] are adorable nicknames. I usually don’t like day of the week names but this one is really cute, especially with [name_u]Lane[/name_u]. 9.5/10
[name_f]Astra[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]- Again, so cute! [name_f]Astra[/name_f] is so pretty, though I do slightly prefer Astreia. [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] fits perfectly and is one of my favorites. I do kind of wish it had better nickname options. 9/10
[name_f]Astrid[/name_f] [name_f]Elodie[/name_f]- This is so perfect! I love it!! I love A and E names together! Both names are so beautiful! 10/10
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Sophie[/name_f]- Cute! [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] is a favorite of mine. It was my favorite name for a long time. [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] runs into it a little bit. 9/10
[name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]- Again this is perfect. [name_f]Florence[/name_f] has definitely grow on me. I love all the nicknames. [name_f]Flora[/name_f], [name_f]Flor[/name_f], [name_f]Florie[/name_f], [name_f]Enna[/name_f]. [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] fits it perfectly. It creates a botanical, nostalgic sound and I love it! 10/10

I love all of your girls names so much!!! :heart:

[name_m]Elio[/name_m] [name_m]William[/name_m]- [name_m]Elio[/name_m] is such a cool name. It makes [name_u]Eli[/name_u] a lot more interesting. [name_m]William[/name_m] is a nice classic though I think together they are a little L heavy. I really like [name_m]Elio[/name_m] [name_m]Harris[/name_m] or [name_m]Elio[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]. 8/10
[name_m]Raphael[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m]- This is cute. [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] is nice, though it sounds a little serious to me. Raphe/Rafe makes it a lot more approachable and I like that. I like names with options for different styled nicknames. [name_m]Henry[/name_m] fits really nicely. 9/10
[name_m]Bastian[/name_m] [name_m]Leo[/name_m]- I like [name_m]Bastian[/name_m] and [name_m]Leo[/name_m] together. Sadly, [name_m]Bastian[/name_m] is just a name I can’t get on board with. The bast- part throws me off. I prefer [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] with [name_m]Bastian[/name_m], [name_m]Bas[/name_m], and [name_m]Seb[/name_m] as nicknames. 7.5/10
[name_m]Atticus[/name_m] [name_m]Clark[/name_m]- I really like this! [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] is such a cool name and I like it’s To Kill A Mockingbird reference. [name_m]Clark[/name_m] fits nicely and is a name I also really like. It just isn’t that exciting to me. I think i’ve seen [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] too much on NB :laughing: 9.5/10
[name_m]Thiago[/name_m] [name_u]Laurence[/name_u]- [name_m]Thiago[/name_m] is really cool! Ty and Iggy(?) would be really cool nicknames. I like [name_u]Laurence[/name_u] here. Usually I’m not a big fan but it fits so nicely with [name_m]Thiago[/name_m]. 10/10

All your names are amazing!

Clarke Viviana- While I prefer Clarke for a boy, this name flows so well! I love Viviana.

Darcy Rue- Short and sweet. I love Rue, and Darcy goes so well with it.

Demetria Jaine- I like the sound of this name, though I vastly prefer Jane.

Hilda Lucienne- This is cute and quirky! I like seeing Hilda used!

Imogene Esther- Very cute and old fashioned. It’s full of character!

Katia Nanette- While neither of these names are my favorite, they sound nice and seem familiar without being common.

Lavinia Bee- Absolutely gorgeous!

Maelie Andromeda- This is distinctive, and I like the name Andromeda.

Nadia Celestine- This is pretty! I think Nadia Celeste would sound lovely as well!

I am sorry that I am about to cast your names in a coming-of-age movie that somehow spans generations. I really do love your names for the absolutely astounding imagery they lean into!

Ida [name_f]Alice[/name_f]
Sweet! [name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] is in the front seat of a convertible, her hair permed, and cat eye sunglasses ready for a night out with her greaser boyfriend. She loves egg creams and dancing— a total 1950s dream girl. [name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] is super cool, always. Very fun!

Simon [name_m]Leo[/name_m]
I love [name_m]Simon[/name_m]! And more than [name_m]Simon[/name_m], the nick name [name_u]Si[/name_u]! [name_m]Simon[/name_m] [name_m]Leo[/name_m] is so gentle and intelligent; he’s a bookish sophomore in high school who has local shop stickers stuck all over his bicycle. 10/10 would offer to help you carry your groceries in, a good boy. I really like this one!

Jesse [name_u]Jude[/name_u]
I love both [name_u]Jesse[/name_u] and [name_u]Jude[/name_u]! And they sound so daringly edgy together! [name_u]Jesse[/name_u] [name_u]Jude[/name_u] is a total rebel without a cause—he could be [name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f]’s beau. [name_u]Strong[/name_u] willed & fiercely devoted, with a side of very soft. Totally big on french fries. I love [name_u]Jess[/name_u]. [name_u]Truly[/name_u] such a beautiful sound.

Ira [name_m]John[/name_m]
[name_u]Ira[/name_u] [name_m]John[/name_m] is super geek chic! I don’t necessarily love [name_u]Ira[/name_u], but I think it’s super workable. [name_u]Ira[/name_u] [name_m]John[/name_m] is sharp as a tack, all around academic all-star. Loves puzzles & bird etymology. The flow is stellar here!

Abilene [name_u]Anne[/name_u]
A “nice girl” name! I love [name_u]Abilene[/name_u], so spunky & kind. [name_u]Anne[/name_u] is graceful and lovely. Also big soft spot for [name_u]Abby[/name_u]! [name_u]Abilene[/name_u] [name_u]Anne[/name_u] is a girl next door, grew up dancing in her driveway of chalk drawings and delivering you homemade cookies on [name_f]Sunday[/name_f] afternoons.

Tessa [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Tessa[/name_f] is really fun! I have tried so hard to love it (given my love for [name_u]Jess[/name_u]), but it just misses the mark for me—nonetheless, [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] is really sweet. [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] is a middle school soccer star; she tie-dyed all of her socks so her grandparents could pick her out easy on the field. A great big sister. Loves social studies.

Isola [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]
[name_f]Isola[/name_f] reminds me of one of the [name_m]Hardy[/name_m] Boys’s girl friend (she was an [name_f]Iola[/name_f], I think?)! [name_f]Isola[/name_f] & [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] aren’t my personal favorites, but I think they sound really adventurous and commanding together. I love the repeated ‘L!’ [name_f]Isola[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] is kind, but quick. Her scrutinizing eye misses nothing. Super muted red & deep purple.

Gideon [name_u]Elias[/name_u]
I really love [name_u]Elias[/name_u]! One of my top favs! And [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] is nice as well, thought nms— [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] [name_u]Elias[/name_u] sounds super dignified, for whatever reason I really just imagine a big tabby cat, snoozing in a bay window. It could be raining, a few cars passing by. Peaceful.

Penelope [name_f]Eliza[/name_f]
SO high energy! I’ve never been a big [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] fan, but [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] is super cute— kind of makes you want to get up and dance or jump on a trampoline. [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] is doing her own thing in the ballet recital, but having a great time— she’s such a character, tons of sass and unrelenting joy.

Audrey [name_f]Amelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Eliza[/name_f]’s very mellow sister, doing the right ballet steps flawlessly and seriously! I love the alliteration! [name_f]Audrey[/name_f] is the most even and sturdy girl’s name—super calm & rational. [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] is very nice, and adds a little pizazz in the post.

Amari [name_u]James[/name_u]
I love [name_u]James[/name_u] so much. Beautiful. [name_u]Amari[/name_u] is very strong! [name_u]Amari[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] could legitimately be anyone: third chair on the AcaDeca team, center on the basketball team, tutoring classmates in chemistry after school — really solid! [name_u]Amari[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] sounds really nice & natural.

Gemma [name_u]Delaney[/name_u]
I prefer [name_u]Delaney[/name_u] as a boys name, and [name_u]Jem[/name_u] for a boy to [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] for a girl, but [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] [name_u]Delaney[/name_u] has a nice sound. [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] [name_u]Delaney[/name_u] is the manic pixie dream girl in a YA novel. [name_f]Lilac[/name_f] and shadowy.

Phoebe [name_f]Elena[/name_f]
Moonlight! I love [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Elena[/name_f]! So much! Beautiful! [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] will always been [name_u]Holden[/name_u] Caulfield’s intuitive and empathetic little sister with a cute little haircut and a notebook full of stories of her alter-ego. Really, really sweet from the individual names to the stellar flow. Pure light.

Sylvia [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] is the title character of an opera. Elegant, romantic, tragic. I couldn’t ever love [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] and [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] despite how hard I tried to! They’re both big names, big to carry. They do sound absolutely stunning, though! [name_m]Just[/name_m] a little out of reach.

Benjamin [name_u]Dean[/name_u]
[name_u]Abilene[/name_u] [name_u]Anne[/name_u]’s older brother! He’s on the football team, lives for those [name_m]Friday[/name_m] [name_u]Night[/name_u] Lights, but he got a full ride to [name_m]Stanford[/name_m] like all the nice boys on the football team in the movies do! For an added twist, he wants to go into the arts, against his dad’s wishes! You root for him! You love him! When he decides to follow his dreams and become an artist, your heart swells & you have faith the Good Things Coming once again. I really like [name_u]Benjamin[/name_u] [name_u]Dean[/name_u] (also weird love for the nickname [name_u]Banjo[/name_u]. No? Okay haha…)

Lily [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f]
I love [name_f]Lily[/name_f]! [name_f]My[/name_f] “realistically, yes” all-time fav. So gentle, light, adaptable. [name_u]Truly[/name_u] pure. [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f] is heavy and gorgeous. I LOVE the “gd” sound. Stunning. [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f] wears ribbons in her hair & sings in the school choir. [name_u]Abilene[/name_u] [name_u]Anne[/name_u]’s best friend. [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f] is the driveway chalk artist. So, so sweet.

Catherine [name_f]Idalie[/name_f]
Very surefooted! [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Idalie[/name_f] is a straight-A students, headed for a big name college. She was on the newspaper staff, but low-key a total [name_f]Nancy[/name_f] [name_u]Drew[/name_u] type. [name_f]Isola[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] is definitely her right-hand girl. [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Idalie[/name_f] sounds lovely, very classic.

Ivy [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] is a secondary character in Sylvia [name_f]Juliet[/name_f], the [name_f]Opera[/name_f]. Dreamy, romantic, earth shattering. Again, I’d love to love [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] and [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f], but I just can’t. Regardless, they’re beautiful & dramatic (love dramatic names). [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] also sounds beautiful, floaty, dreamy flow!

Leah [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
So cute! [name_f]Leah[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] is definitely another nice-girl name. She’s [name_u]Benjamin[/name_u] [name_u]Dean[/name_u]’s best friend & prom date. She dreams of being a botanist, loves reading fantasy novels. Really lovely. [name_f]Leah[/name_f] is a name I think about all the time!

Mary [name_f]Blythe[/name_f]
So funky! [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] as a double barreled has been on and off my ridiculous list for months! I love how sassy, spunky, and smart it sounds. Another very [name_f]Nancy[/name_f] [name_u]Drew[/name_u] name! The last leg of the [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Idalie[/name_f]-[name_f]Isola[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]-[name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] sleuthing trio. [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] is the most out-spoken of the group. She’s here for a good time, not for a long time-- and definitely takes advantage of every experience she encounters. [name_u]Carefree[/name_u]!

Isaiah [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m]
[name_m]Isaiah[/name_m] is beautiful, and [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] is a great choice! [name_m]Isaiah[/name_m] [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] is the AcaDeca team captain, but in the spring he runs track. Volunteers in the community almost every weekend. Loves his mother & grandmother, a quietly talented baker.

Ezra [name_u]Gabriel[/name_u]
I really love [name_u]Ezra[/name_u] and [name_u]Gabriel[/name_u]! Both are so gentle and yet a little edgy. Really, really handsome. [name_u]Ezra[/name_u] [name_u]Gabriel[/name_u] is an art boy, big into ceramics. If [name_m]Simon[/name_m] [name_m]Leo[/name_m] has his bike chained up outside of the school, [name_u]Ezra[/name_u] [name_u]Gabriel[/name_u]’s skateboard is leaning right against it.

Lucas [name_m]Josiah[/name_m]
[name_m]Josiah[/name_m]! [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] [name_m]Josiah[/name_m] is beautiful and soft, cuddly. [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] [name_m]Josiah[/name_m] is the little boy next door on the other side; he comes over to play with [name_u]Abilene[/name_u] and [name_f]Lily[/name_f]. Loves to play superhero; his prized possessions are a magnifying glass and an old costume cape. Very quiet & polite. Prefers the green ice pops!

Molly Bluebird: This is a very whimsical name, very cute and daring. 7/10
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Avonlea[/name_f]: This for some reason gives me [name_u]Anne[/name_u] of [name_u]Green[/name_u] Gables vibes, which I absolutely adore. 9/10
[name_u]Lark[/name_u] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f]: This combo is cute, but sounds a bit weird when I say. I think [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] [name_u]Lark[/name_u] sounds better, imo. 6.5/10

[name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_u]Bay[/name_u]: [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Willa[/name_f] and [name_u]Bay[/name_u], but not together. Both names need to be paired with longer names, imo. 5/10
[name_u]Rowen[/name_u] [name_f]Lydia[/name_f]: [name_u]Love[/name_u] this combo! 8.5/10

Marley [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m]: I prefer [name_u]Marley[/name_u] on a girl. But I still like this combo. 6.5/10
[name_u]Sage[/name_u] [name_u]Elias[/name_u]: [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_u]Sage[/name_u] on a boy and I adore [name_u]Elias[/name_u]. 8.5/10
[name_m]Radley[/name_m] [name_u]Bo[/name_u]: This gives me To Kill A Mockingbird vibes. Which I love, but I prefer [name_u]Bo[/name_u] spell like [name_u]Beau[/name_u]. 9/10
[name_u]Jonah[/name_u] [name_m]Hawthorn[/name_m]: [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_u]Jonah[/name_u], not too crazy about [name_m]Hawthorn[/name_m], but they sound lovely together still. 7/10
[name_u]Owen[/name_u] [name_u]Hickory[/name_u]: [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_u]Owen[/name_u], but I’m not too crazy about [name_u]Hickory[/name_u]. 6/10
[name_m]Koda[/name_m] [name_u]Finlay[/name_u]: This is adorable! 9/10

@Strawberry.Bunny I did your list!

Adele [name_u]Raven[/name_u] - I haven’t really been a fan of [name_f]Adele[/name_f] (I find it to linked to the singer) but I actually really love this combo! [name_f]Adele[/name_f] sounds beautiful and dignified with [name_u]Raven[/name_u]!
[name_u]Anne[/name_u] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] - [name_u]Anne[/name_u] is a great name, and I love the nickname [name_f]Annie[/name_f]. [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] helps make it more modern too. [name_u]Love[/name_u]!
[name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] - I don’t really like either of these names separately or together. [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f]’s one of those names I feel like I should like but just don’t and [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] is too wordy for my tastes.
[name_f]Belle[/name_f] [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] - I usually like [name_f]Belle[/name_f] as a nickname but this combo flows well and sounds just the right amount of elegant.
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f] [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] - Mind if I steal this one :sweat_smile:? I love love love [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] and [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] is so pretty. I really like this combo!
[name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] - [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] is a very sweet name and [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] strengthens it. Great combo!
[name_f]Ella[/name_f] [name_u]Sparrow[/name_u] - I don’t really know why, but this one doesn’t seem as bright as your other combos. [name_u]Sparrow[/name_u] is a great middle though, even if it is a little wordy, and I have nothing against [name_f]Ella[/name_f]. It just seems a little simple compared to your other combos.
[name_f]Juno[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] - [name_f]Juno[/name_f] has a great sound but I much prefer [name_u]June[/name_u] due to [name_u]Percy[/name_u] [name_u]Jackson[/name_u] associations, although I doubt that would be an issue for anyone else. I strongly dislike [name_f]Clementine[/name_f], no matter what combo it’s in.
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u] - both names are nameberry staples that are just nms. I can see the appeal of both names though, and this is a good flowing combo!
[name_f]Gwen[/name_f] [name_u]Stacy[/name_u] - Isn’t this just from Spiderman? The characters great, I just don’t know if you realized!
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] - [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] is growing on me and it is very sweet and strong. I love [name_f]Juliet[/name_f], even though it would probably classify as too connected to pop culture for me. It sounds elegant and refined. I like this combo.
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u] [name_f]Florence[/name_f] - I love [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], [name_f]Florence[/name_f] is another nameberry staple thats growing on me a little. I think I would either pair [name_f]Florence[/name_f] with a shorter first name or [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] with a longer middle, don’t really love the flow for this one!
[name_f]Paige[/name_f] [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] - I love [name_f]Paige[/name_f] and I love seeing it in people’s uc! [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] is beautiful and works well with [name_f]Paige[/name_f]’s simplicity.
[name_f]Angelica[/name_f] [name_u]Honor[/name_u] - I’m starting to realize that I don’t really like any [name_u]Angel[/name_u]- names. This one seems very on the nose and maybe a lot for a little girl to live up to.
[name_f]Margot[/name_f] [name_f]Annelise[/name_f] - sue me, [name_f]Margot[/name_f] isn’t my favorite [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] variation! I love [name_f]Annelise[/name_f] though, and this combo flows well!
[name_u]Mackenzie[/name_u] [name_u]Blake[/name_u] - [name_u]Mackenzie[/name_u] is very cute, and I actually really like it with [name_u]Blake[/name_u]. Not a name that I expected to like, but I did!

Axel [name_m]Finnegan[/name_m] - [name_u]Axel[/name_u] is very cool, same with [name_m]Finnegan[/name_m]. Solid name.
[name_m]Adrian[/name_m] [name_u]Jasper[/name_u] - this combo is very elegant! [name_m]Adrian[/name_m] is a handsome name, and [name_u]Jasper[/name_u] is growing on me because of book characters
[name_u]Bennett[/name_u] [name_u]Brooks[/name_u] - I like [name_u]Bennett[/name_u], [name_u]Brooks[/name_u] is nms, but this combo feels very last namey to me. This one feels like a hyphenated surname.
[name_u]Jonah[/name_u] [name_u]Beck[/name_u] - this is another name that feels very Spiderman to me because of J [name_u]Jameson[/name_u] and Mysterio but I don’t think the connection would be obvious to anyone else and I love both names. Good combo.
[name_m]Calvin[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] - I love [name_m]Calvin[/name_m] nn [name_u]Cal[/name_u] and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]! There’s nothing to say other than it works and it sounds good!
[name_u]Connor[/name_u] [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] - I love [name_u]Connor[/name_u] and I love [name_m]Isaac[/name_m]. See above: [name_m]Calvin[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] :sweat_smile:
[name_m]Patrick[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] - [name_m]Patrick[/name_m] is a name that feels like it should be my style but it isn’t. Reminds me a bit too much of Spongebob (although that might just be because of my brother). [name_m]Patrick[/name_m] feels very middle aged and [name_m]Henry[/name_m] switches between old man and toddler in my brain. They just don’t seem to fit to me.
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m] [name_m]Finnegan[/name_m] - I love [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] and I love [name_m]Finnegan[/name_m]! This combo flows well. [name_m]Ozzy[/name_m] is my favorite nickname.
[name_m]Graham[/name_m] [name_m]Wesley[/name_m] - I love both names although I prefer [name_m]Graham[/name_m] as a middle name. I actually prefer [name_m]Wesley[/name_m] as a middle too but I think this one flows better as [name_m]Wesley[/name_m] [name_m]Graham[/name_m].
[name_m]Abel[/name_m] [name_u]Jackson[/name_u] - I don’t like [name_m]Abel[/name_m] in the first spot because it always sounds like an adjective. [name_u]Jackson[/name_u] also sounds very surnamey in the middle.
[name_u]Dean[/name_u] [name_m]Ford[/name_m] - I think [name_u]Dean[/name_u] and [name_m]Ford[/name_m] would benefit from having different firsts/middles. Two 2 syllable names don’t seem to flow well together for me. [name_m]Ford[/name_m] also seems surnamey to me in a middle spot.
[name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] [name_u]Sullivan[/name_u] - [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] is one of my top names, and [name_u]Sullivan[/name_u] is a name I’m late to the game on! [name_m]Even[/name_m] though [name_u]Sullivan[/name_u] is technically a last name, I like it best for the middle. It’s an unexpected last name, which I think helps it seem just not last namey enough to work.
[name_u]Montgomery[/name_u] [name_u]Cameron[/name_u] - [name_m]Monty[/name_m] is a cute nickname for a boy even though [name_u]Montgomery[/name_u] is nms. I’ve heard [name_u]Cameron[/name_u] too much for me to enjoy it that much though although it doesn’t really matter since it’s a middle.
[name_u]Maverick[/name_u] [name_u]Liam[/name_u] - I don’t like [name_u]Maverick[/name_u] at all. I’d suggest [name_u]Liam[/name_u] [name_u]Maverick[/name_u] but [name_u]Liam[/name_u] is very popular. Maybe [name_u]Dean[/name_u] or [name_m]Ford[/name_m] [name_u]Maverick[/name_u]? (Although [name_m]Ford[/name_m] [name_u]Maverick[/name_u] sounds like a car brand)

Note to whoever does my uc: I have not had the opportunity to fix the Hebrew translations. I think based off of @anon73451839’s rating, the second name in [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] [name_u]Arden[/name_u] is supposed to [name_f]Aliya[/name_f], and [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] is supposed to translate to [name_f]Judith[/name_f] [name_f]Liat[/name_f]. If you run into any other problems using google translate (it’s not the best for names :roll_eyes:) please tell me so I can try to fix it!

@aventurine
cassia maeve- cassia is a nice name. I love the nickname cass and [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] is such a pretty but strong name.

adeline willow- [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] is one of my favorite names and I love it paired with [name_u]Willow[/name_u]. This name is absolutely gorgeous. I picture a very feminine, spunky teen girl. This name works well with a young girl or grown woman. 10/10

beatrix june- [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] is nms but I like the way it sounds with [name_u]June[/name_u]. [name_u]June[/name_u] is a nice light name.

cecily adair- [name_f]Cecily[/name_f] has definitely grown on me, as well as [name_u]Adair[/name_u] and I adore them in this pairing. This is another name that ages well as is beautiful.

elodie summer- elodie is nms but I like the contrasting sounds in this pairing.

felicity noelle- neither of these names are my style but I definitely get a specific feeling when I read them together. This is a nice, sweet, soft name I can picture on a young girl from the southern us.

juliet soleil- I like [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] (although I prefer [name_f]Juliette[/name_f]) and soleil pairs really well. This is a pretty name.

lydia coralie- I like this name. It’s spooky to me because I think of [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] from beetle juice and [name_f]Coraline[/name_f].

vienna iris- I’m sorry but [name_f]Vienna[/name_f] just makes me think of [name_f]Vienna[/name_f] sausages and irises are my least favorite flowers so this one doesn’t do it for me. I’m sorry.

Caspian [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m]: I love [name_m]Caspian[/name_m], and have ever since I first read the [name_f]Narnia[/name_f] series. [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m] is a name I like in theory, but I associate it too much with a character from Monk to use it myself. That’s obviously a personal thing, though. I think it really balances out [name_m]Caspian[/name_m].
[name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] [name_m]Apollo[/name_m]: I immediately think of [name_m]Ace[/name_m] Attorney, and the two main characters [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] [name_m]Wright[/name_m] and [name_m]Apollo[/name_m] [name_u]Justice[/name_u]. That being said, I do like both names individually. [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] is a long time favorite and it does go well with [name_m]Apollo[/name_m], as long as you’re fine with the video game reference.
[name_m]Atticus[/name_m] [name_m]Finnegan[/name_m]: Again, I like both names individually, but I immediately think of [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] [name_u]Finch[/name_u] and I’m not sure it flows all that well.
[name_u]Bellamy[/name_u] [name_m]Knight[/name_m]: Normally, I prefer [name_u]Night[/name_u] over [name_m]Knight[/name_m], but I think [name_m]Knight[/name_m] works really well here. It goes really well with [name_u]Bellamy[/name_u], which is a name I’m usually ambivalent about, I think this is my favorite of your boy combos.
[name_m]Draco[/name_m] [name_m]Leonidas[/name_m]: Association with [name_u]Harry[/name_u] [name_m]Potter[/name_m] aside, I do like the name [name_m]Draco[/name_m]. I love that it means dragon. Not sure about [name_m]Leonidas[/name_m], though. This one looks really cool, but when I say it aloud, it doesn’t sound quite right.
[name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_m]Adonis[/name_m]: This one I’m torn on. I like [name_u]Julian[/name_u], but don’t like [name_m]Adonis[/name_m]. That being said, I think it flows well when I say it aloud.
[name_m]Jupiter[/name_m] [name_u]Ocean[/name_u]: When I first saw this one, I didn’t really like it, but the more I look at it and say it, it’s grown on me. I really like [name_m]Jupiter[/name_m] and [name_u]Ocean[/name_u] is one of my favorite nature names.
[name_u]Dean[/name_u] [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u]: I’ve always liked [name_u]Dean[/name_u] and [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] is a name that’s grown on me. The two names sound really good together. It’s feels a lot different from your other combos, but that would be my only complaint.

Octavia [name_u]Reign[/name_u]: I absolutely love [name_f]Octavia[/name_f]. It’s such a fantastic name. Normally, I prefer [name_u]Rain[/name_u]/Raine to [name_u]Reign[/name_u], but again, I think this spelling works better here. It makes the combo feel regal.
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] [name_u]Nightingale[/name_u]: I like this combo. It flows really well and has almost a Shakespearean feel to it.
[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_f]Wednesday[/name_f]: [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] is another name that has a regal feel to it. I really like it with [name_f]Wednesday[/name_f], which I’ve always liked. I think it flows well.
[name_f]Calliope[/name_f] [name_f]Moon[/name_f]: This is probably my favorite of your girl combos. I love the sound of [name_f]Calliope[/name_f] and I think it goes well with the simple beauty of [name_f]Moon[/name_f].
[name_u]Artemis[/name_u] [name_u]Storm[/name_u]: I like this combo. [name_u]Artemis[/name_u] is so strong and I feel like [name_u]Storm[/name_u] really complements it. It feels like a force to be reckoned with.
[name_f]Cassiopeia[/name_f] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u]: I really like [name_f]Cassiopeia[/name_f], but I’m not sure about [name_u]Quinn[/name_u]. It feels out of place.
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_u]Echo[/name_u]: I’ve never been the biggest fan of [name_f]Lydia[/name_f]. I think I associate it too much with [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_m]Bennet[/name_m]. That being said, I do like this combo. [name_u]Echo[/name_u] is a name I’ve always loved, but never had a place for and I think it flows well with [name_f]Lydia[/name_f].
[name_f]Selene[/name_f] [name_u]Raven[/name_u]: I really like the look of this one. It kind of has a gothic feel to it. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you pronounce it se-leen or se-lee-nee? Either way, I think it flows well.

Ok before I get started I just wanna say your names are GORGEOUS!

[name_f]October[/name_f] [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] [name_f]Moon[/name_f]- I LOVE [name_f]October[/name_f]! This whole combo has a very autumn night vibe to it. [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] goes really well and really grounds it. [name_f]Moon[/name_f] is a beautiful name on it’s own but next to [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] it’s beautiful.

[name_f]Nessa[/name_f] [name_f]Eowyn[/name_f]- This one is really beautiful. It feels very ethereal. [name_f]Nessa[/name_f] is super cute and [name_f]Eowyn[/name_f] has a very elf-y forest vibe.

[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Serenity[/name_f]- [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is underused as a first name. It’s just so simple and girly while [name_f]Serenity[/name_f] is just so elegant and well, serene! [name_f]Serenity[/name_f] balances out [name_f]Rose[/name_f] so well because it’s long and girly without being super frilly.

[name_f]Eve[/name_f] [name_f]Belladonna[/name_f]- Ok this is my absolute favorite of your list! [name_f]Eve[/name_f] is so simple and minimalist while still being elegant. [name_f]Belladonna[/name_f] while I tend to not like [name_f]Bella[/name_f] names is so beautiful! I know it’s a type of poisonous berry but that’s not really a bad association as it’s just a plant. Beautiful!

[name_f]Raine[/name_f] [name_f]Persephone[/name_f]- This one sounds so whimsy! [name_f]Raine[/name_f] while obviously being a nature name doesn’t sound overly nature-y. [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] really balances out [name_f]Raine[/name_f] because it’s so long and frilly while [name_f]Raine[/name_f] is more grounded and unisex (to me at least).

[name_f]Reverie[/name_f] [name_f]Autumn[/name_f]- While I’m pretty neutral on [name_f]Reverie[/name_f], it is a beautiful name and it’s absolutely gorgeous next to [name_f]Autumn[/name_f].

[name_f]Cassandra[/name_f] [name_u]Gray[/name_u]- This one is so sweet! I really like the spunky feel to [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f] and the unisex [name_u]Gray[/name_u] works just so well with it! If I had to nit pick anything though it would probably be that I would prefer the [name_u]Grey[/name_u] spelling a little bit better just because [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f] already has a lot of A’s.

[name_f]Isadora[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]- I really like this one! It feels so sweet and vintage. [name_f]Isadora[/name_f] is super cute and I love [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] in the middle spot for this.

Alice Seraphine- This one is cool! Alice is super sweet. I don’t know if you pronounce it SERA-PHEEN or SERA-PHEENA but either it sound sounds super pretty.

Una Beatrice- Una is so spunky! It’s so simple and spunky and Beatrice is sweet and vintage! Super sweet!

August Rosalind- I actually really like August for a girl! The nickname Gussie is also kinda cute too. Rosalind pairs really well with it although I prefer Rosamund.

Belladonna Snow- I love this one! Like I said before with Belladonna it sounds super elegant and dark but whimsy. I also LOVE Snow for both genders! This combo gives me serious winter vibes.

Charity Elsinore- This one is nice. I’m not a huge fan of Charity but Elsinore is super cool!

Oleander Willow- This one is so pretty!! Oleander sounds so cool and unusual but still familiar because of the plant and it’s similarity to Evander, Leander and Lysander. Willow pairs so well with it and makes it have a cool relaxed vibe.

Story Vivienne- I actually really like Story! I’m pretty neutral on Vivienne but to here it sounds really nice.

Adela Artemisia- I love Adela! It sounds very girly and makes me think of gold. Artemisia is pretty cool although I prefer Artemis.

Alchemy Briar Rose- I’ve never heard of Alchemy as a first name but it looks pretty cool. Briar Rose will forever be one of the prettiest combos ever I’m my opinion.

Antimony Foxglove- I’m not sure how I feel about Antimony because it sounds kinda cool and you can get the nickname Mona out of it but when it sounds so similar to Anatomy. Foxglove is pretty cool though.

September Lunaria- I love month names! September sounds super cool and I LOVE Lunaria. It just sounds sooo pretty!!

Faline Temperence- This one I’m pretty neutral on. I don’t know if Faline is pronounced like FAH-LEEN or FAE-LINE but either way it sounds pretty cool. Temperence is nice just not my style.

Madrigal Evanescence- Madrigal sounds too close to magical for my taste but I do really Evanescence. I think of the night time when I hear this.

Tarot Apollionia- Ok I’m not gonna lie, I just do not like Tarot at all. Apollionia is cool though.

Requiem Anastasia- I’ve never heard of Requiem as a name but I do think it is really pretty and paired with Anastasia it just sounds so elegant!

James Thorin- This is a pretty cool combo! While James is a lot more traditional than the rest of you names it’s still a good solid name. Thorin is also super cool and goes really nice with James.

Wolf Helios- While I’m not a huge fan of animal names with the exception of Fox but this one sounds super cool! I love the name Helios and Wolf sounds super cool as a first with it.

Night Evander- This one sounds so cool! I love Night and Evander sounds so masculine and cool with it!

Zephyr Valerian- This one sounds like a sci-fi hero which is fine by me because I love sci-fi! Valerian is a cool variation of Valentine or Valentin. Super cool!

Silver Andreas- This one is super cool! Silver is a super cool name and Andreas is also super nice and goes really nice with it.

Hector Peregrine- I like this one! Hector is a good solid name and Peregrine is super nice and goes really nice with it!

Simon Vivaldi- This one is nice just not my style. It feels very different from the rest of your names. Nice combo though.

Lucian Fortinbras- I really like Lucian! I don’t know if you pronounce it LOU-SEE-IN or LOU-SHEE-AN but either way it’s nice. But I don’t really like Fortinbras; all I see is bras.

Linus Aurelian- This one is actually really cool! Linus is a cool name although it very surname-y. I really like Aurelian too, it sounds like the name of a knight.

Basil Dominick- This one is nice. Basil feels a tad trendy but it’s still a nice name. Dominick feels very different from the rest of your names but goes super well with Basil.

Wallace Killian- I like Killian! It maybe a little controversial because of the kill- part of it but I don’t really mind it because it doesn’t actually mean anything like that. Wallace sounds kind of dated to me but it’s not a bad name.

Hemlock Etienne- Hemlock is pretty cool! It reminds me of Sherlock and Etienne sounds really nice with it.

Nocturne Frost- This one sounds sooo cool! Nocturne is super cool and reminds me of a super hero and Frost sounds so cool with it! This combo makes me think of a winter night.

Salem Oberon- I love Salem! I myself have it on my list. I’m pretty neutral on Oberon because I don’t love it but I don’t hate it. Together as a combo is sounds nice though.

𝕆𝕤𝕚𝕣𝕚𝕤 𝕊𝕒𝕞𝕦𝕖𝕝 𝕃𝕖𝕠𝕟𝕒𝕣𝕕: This combination flows nicely, incorporating the unusual with the common. I don’t LOVE Osiris and think it’s a bit pretentious, but I do think he’d make a great fictional character. Samuel and Leonard are both lovely, common names that balance well.
ℝ𝕒𝕧𝕖𝕟 𝔸𝕟𝕘𝕖𝕝 𝔹𝕦𝕔𝕙𝕒𝕟𝕒𝕟: I really don’t like Raven – I just get such strong YA fiction vibes. Angel is also really difficult for me to come around to, although I appreciate the Spanish pronunciation. To me, Raven Angel just sounds fictional and pretentious. Buchanan is quite cool, and I concede that this combination actually sounds really great together.
𝕃𝕦𝕔𝕚𝕦𝕤 𝔸𝕞𝕚𝕕𝕒𝕝𝕒 𝔹𝕣𝕒𝕞: Lucius is old, but fresh and I think wears really well in real life despite its strong literary association. Amidala is REALLY cool, and I can so get around the Star Wars vibes. I actually think that it would work nicely as a FN. Bram is ok, but it somehow feels incomplete.
E𝕝𝕝𝕚𝕠𝕥 ℝ𝕦𝕤𝕤𝕠 𝔻𝕠𝕧𝕖: Elliot is ok, but I do get naughty boy getting in trouble in class vibes. Russo is interesting- I’m actually Italian and Russo is just an Italian surname- It would be like using Smith. Dove is pretty and rounds out the name nicely.
𝔸𝕝𝕧𝕒 𝔹𝕠𝕨𝕖𝕟 ℝ𝕖𝕖𝕧𝕖: Alva is lovely but prefer it on a girl. Bowen is lovely and prefer it to the more popular ‘Beau’- familiar, but not strange. Reeve is again, ok, but just a filler name imo.
𝕄𝕒𝕝𝕒𝕔𝕙𝕚 𝕃𝕦𝕔𝕒𝕤 𝔽𝕠𝕩 : Malachi is beautiful and is certainly my favourite of your FNs. It’s strong and unusual but not strange at all. Lucas is lovely and strong but not overpowering. Fox is gorgeous and sweet and rounds off this combination superbly. This is definitely my favourite combination.
𝕊𝕒𝕝𝕖𝕞 𝕁𝕦𝕟𝕚𝕡𝕖𝕣 𝕄𝕠𝕠𝕟: Salem is really cool and I can see it becoming slightly more usable in the classroom. Very strong witchy vibes. Juniper is really stunning and I hadn’t thought of it as a boys name before but I definitely like it. Moon is a guilty pleasure of mine that I think really only works as a MN. Gorgeous combination here.
𝔸𝕝𝕒𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕚𝕣 𝕄𝕪𝕔𝕣𝕠𝕗𝕥 𝕁𝕦𝕟𝕖: Alastair is lovely and strong, but again, not overpowering. Mycroft sounds like ‘Minecraft’ to me and I just picture a computer… Not a great association for me. June is gorgeous but I don’t like it for a boy.
𝕃𝕒𝕫𝕒𝕣𝕦𝕤 𝕄𝕒𝕣𝕔𝕖𝕝𝕠 𝕋𝕣𝕦𝕖 : Lazarus, I think, is surprisingly usable. I actually REALLY like this a lot. Marcelo is a lovely name that flows nicely off the tongue. I don’t like True at all- I’m generally just not into virtue names.
ℝ𝕒𝕚𝕟𝕖 ℕ𝕖𝕙𝕖𝕞𝕚𝕒𝕤 𝕋𝕒𝕥𝕖: Raine is lovely and definitely usable. I love nature names and this is unique, but wouldn’t be the subject of ridicule. Nehemias (don’t know how to pronounce it) is ok… Tate is imo very 90s boy band- It’s ok but not particularly interesting.
ℤ𝕠𝕝𝕒 ℤ𝕖𝕡𝕙𝕒𝕟𝕚𝕒𝕙 𝕊𝕡𝕒𝕣𝕣𝕠𝕨 : Zola is cool- it sounds feminine but I think could definitely be used for a boy. It almost sounds space-like and would suit a sibling like ‘Nova’ or ‘Astro’. Zephaniah is quite nice actually and I think it would age really well. Sparrow is gorgeous and soft and balances this name nicely.
𝔽𝕝𝕠𝕣𝕚𝕒𝕟 𝔼𝕝𝕚𝕒𝕤 𝕄𝕠𝕟𝕣𝕠𝕖: Florian is pretty and I get strong literary vibes, probably because it’s so similar to Dorian. Elias is lovely and I’d love to see this as a FN- It’s a chameleon that fits comfortably within many cultures and languages. Monroe is cool and gives me strong Southern vibes.
𝔼𝕩𝕠𝕕𝕦𝕤 𝕀𝕣𝕠𝕙 𝔾𝕖𝕞: I don’t like Exodus at all as the biblical association and meaning is just too strong. Iroh is REALLY lovely- I’ve never heard of it before and has that sweet long ‘O’ sound I find to be very endearing. Gem is cute.

𝕄𝕚𝕣𝕚𝕒𝕞 𝕁𝕖𝕣𝕚𝕔𝕙𝕠 ℙ𝕖𝕟𝕟: Miriam is really lovely- very mid-century, but probably due for a comeback. Jericho is absolutely gorgeous, and I really like it for a girl. Penn is a bit meh for me- not a very endearing word name, and no more endearing with the double ‘n’. Lovely combination though.
𝕄𝕒𝕧𝕚𝕤 𝕆𝕡𝕙𝕖𝕝𝕚𝕒 𝔻𝕖𝕒𝕟: Mavis is quite cute but either for a little girl, or very old woman. I don’t think it wears well in those middle years. Ophelia is really gorgeous, despite the tragic connotations. Mavis Ophelia is oh so pretty. I don’t like Dean for a boy or girl- it’s just very 80s surfer imo.
ℍ𝕖𝕝𝕖𝕟𝕒 𝔼𝕧𝕖𝕟𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕁𝕦𝕕𝕖: Helena is really lovely, and quite similar to Miriam in terms of its popularity. Evening is actually really lovely and not a word that I would normally consider for a name. I think that Evening Jude is a stunning combination. Jude is divine and also a name on my top list.
𝕄𝕒𝕣𝕧𝕖𝕝 ℕ𝕒𝕥𝕒𝕤𝕚𝕒 ℝ𝕠𝕨𝕖𝕟𝕒: Marvel is an unusual virtue name that unfortunately I associate with the comics. It’s quite pretty but the association is too strong for me to consider a name. Natasia is a slightly trendy form of Natasha- it’s ok. Rowena is a name that I’m really coming around to. It definitely sounds outdated but I think it fits into that category of ‘grandma-but-cool-dark-academia’ vibe.
𝕋𝕙𝕠𝕞𝕒𝕤𝕚𝕟 𝕎𝕖𝕟𝕕𝕪 ℙ𝕖𝕒𝕣𝕝: Thomasin is clunky, but I prefer it to its more common variant, ‘Thomas’. Wendy is also very mid-century, but it doesn’t flow as nicely as Miriam or Helena. Pearl is just gorgeous, and I think balances the heaviness of Thomasin and Wendy.
ℂ𝕒𝕤𝕡𝕖𝕣 𝕆𝕣𝕝𝕒 ℍ𝕖𝕝𝕖𝕟𝕖: I quite like Casper- very spunky. Orla is stunning- it’s clunky and spunky all at once. Helene is actually, imo, much smoother than Helena- almost French sounding.
𝕎𝕖𝕕𝕟𝕖𝕤𝕕𝕒𝕪 𝔸𝕞𝕒𝕝𝕚𝕒 ℝ𝕠𝕤𝕖: Wednesday is, and has always been my number 1 girl name. I think that it’s feminine and witchy- a combination that I just adore. Amalia is pretty and peps up the more common Amelia. Having said that I think the Amelia sits more comfortably after Wednesday. Rose is another of my favourite names but I personally only like it as a FN- as a MN it sounds a bit bland. Gorgeous combination though.
𝕆𝕔𝕥𝕠𝕓𝕖𝕣 𝕍𝕒𝕝𝕖𝕟𝕥𝕚𝕟𝕒 ℝ𝕦𝕖: October is divine and would make a wonderful sister for Wednesday. The strong ‘O’ sound is always complimentary. Valentina is pretty. I like Rue. Again, the strong ‘O’ sound is endearing. Lovely combination!
𝔽𝕣𝕒𝕟𝕜𝕚𝕖 𝔸𝕕𝕖𝕝𝕒 𝕀𝕣𝕖𝕟𝕖: Frankie is an adorable name but imo will always be a nickname. I’d be more likely to use ‘Frances’ or ‘Francesca’. Adela is clunky and difficult to say compared with the sleeker ‘Adele’. Irene is really lovely and has that ethereal quality I love.
𝕃𝕦𝕔𝕚𝕟𝕕𝕒 𝕀𝕧𝕪 ℕ𝕠𝕠𝕣: Lucinda is lovely and fits the witchy vibe you seem to covet. Ivy is gorgeous and a very substantial sounding shorter name. Noor is really nice but is a difficult sound after ‘Lucinda Ivy’. I would change it to ‘Ivy Lucinda Noor’.
𝕃𝕦𝕞𝕚𝕟𝕒𝕣𝕒 𝔹𝕖𝕝𝕝𝕖𝕣𝕠𝕤𝕖 𝔼𝕧𝕖: Love Luminara. Lumi is gorgeous and Luminara finishes it off nicely. Bellerose is a funky surname that sounds preppy and pretty. Eve is gorgeous and gives me similar vibes to Ivy.
𝕄𝕒𝕣𝕔𝕖𝕝𝕚𝕟𝕖 𝔼𝕦𝕝𝕒𝕝𝕚𝕒 ℂ𝕠𝕣𝕚𝕟𝕟𝕖: Marceline is quite pretty and a little preppy. Eulalia is also quite pretty but difficult to say immediately after Marceline- I don’t think that these two names flow very well. Corinne is a bit bland and the double ‘nn’ sound too have after the double ‘nn’ sound in Marceline.
𝕋𝕙𝕖𝕠𝕕𝕠𝕤𝕚𝕒 ℝ𝕠𝕠𝕟𝕖𝕪 ℙ𝕙𝕠𝕖𝕟𝕚𝕩: Theodosia fits well into the witchy/dark academia theme but I prefer ‘Theodora’ as a variant. Rooney is cute, but I think it would better compliment a more traditionally feminine name as it’s quite masculine. Phoenix is a great variant of the more popular Phoebe and I like the ‘x’ sound.
ℙ𝕙𝕚𝕝𝕝𝕚𝕡𝕒 𝕎𝕚𝕝𝕕𝕖𝕣 ℕ𝕪𝕩: Phillipa is lovely and I like the nickname ‘Pippa’. I don’t like Wilder at all- I’m so sorry, I just find it pretentious. Nyx is cute!

Iona Florence - this is so lovely! Iona is so underrated, and it is so elegant and classy next to Florence!

Oona Calloway - Oona is so sweet! I think I prefer the spelling Una, but not by much. Calloway feels very masculine to me, but the combo flows well together.

Alice Wednesday - This is so magical! I love day of the week names in the middle, and they work perfectly with solid classics like Alice! Alice Tuesday would be stunning as well!

Maeve Fleetwood - I feel like the flow of this one is a little off. The transition between the v sound in Maeve and the F in Fleetwood is kind of hard to say.

Rose January - Ok, I wish I thought of this!!! Stunning combo! (Rose is my absolute favorite name everrr!)

Ada Frances - I really love Ada, but I feel like it could use a spunkier/more modern middle! It feels less fresh next to Frances (just my opinion!)

Elisabetta Juno - Elisabetta is stunning! I do feel like it would flow better with a one syllable middle name.

Oleander Fleur - I’ve never seen Oleander on a girl before, so I was very surprised by this combo. It’s hard for me to give my opinion on it. I love Fleur as a middle name though (Elisabetta Fleur would be brilliant imo!)

Hugo William - This is such a strong classic! Hugo is so handsome! I feel like a more unusual middle would make it pop even more!

Oscar Caradoc - I feel like because Oscar and Caradoc share so many letters/sounds, they don’t work quite as well together. I personally would find different combos for them.

Finnian Jude - I absolutely looove Finnian! So, so handsome, and Jude makes it feel so soft and outdoorsy! Wonderful combo!

Oliver Moby - Ok, I actually love this! I wasn’t expecting to be so charmed by Moby in the middle spot, but it’s just wonderful!

Iver Samson - The flow of this one is beautiful! I have no critiques!

Reuben Callahan - I absolutely love Reuben! So, so wonderful! The flow is a little thrown off because of the -n endings on both names imo.

Henry Fletcher - This is such a friendly, down to earth name! So handsome and sweet!

Fraser Lawson - Not my personal style, but these names work so well together!

[name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f]- I love this name. I used to dislike [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] as a name because I’m allergic to the plant but it has definitely grown to be a favorite of mine. [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] is such a beautiful color and name. [name_f]Emma[/name_f] is great, a bit popular but pretty nonetheless. It always makes me think of [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Swan[/name_f] which is a major plus. Together this combo makes me think of [name_f]Ava[/name_f] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f], the title character from a book I read (the spark notes for) in high school.
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f]- Together this combo is very sweet. Roses smell sweet and [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] reminds me of the cookies. I really like it. It would be good as [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] too.
[name_f]Anya[/name_f] [name_f]Cosette[/name_f]- I’ve loved the name [name_f]Anya[/name_f] since [name_f]Buffy[/name_f] the Vampire Slayer, but the character helped contribute to the love. Coaster isn’t a favorite of mine because a friend of mine named her cat that and now I see it as a pets name. The name flows well though.
[name_u]Marie[/name_u] [name_f]Autumn[/name_f]- When I hear the name [name_u]Marie[/name_u] I always think of the spunky little kitten from aristocats! That is a great association. I’m really starting to like date or season related names and fall is my favorite season. This one isn’t as eye catching as the first few though.
[name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f]- [name_f]Laura[/name_f] feels very dated to me. All the [name_f]Laura[/name_f]’s I know are 50+. [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] is a nice middle. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you pronounce it [name_f]Mary[/name_f]-gold or [name_f]Mari[/name_f]-gold?
[name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Lilibeth[/name_f]- [name_u]June[/name_u] is a good name. I’ve met people of all ages and backgrounds with this name. I really like [name_f]Lilibeth[/name_f] and haven’t heard it before. It kind of reminds me of [name_f]Lilith[/name_f] which I like but you might not.
[name_f]Ruth[/name_f] [name_f]Azalea[/name_f]- [name_f]Ruth[/name_f] is also dated to me. I think of the baseball player or the candy bar. [name_f]Azalea[/name_f] is nice. I like the z. It makes it stand out.

Wesley [name_u]Forest[/name_u]- [name_m]Wesley[/name_m] is a beauty. It always makes me think of the princess bride. Paired with [name_u]Forest[/name_u], I’m in love :heart_eyes:, I picture a modern day [name_u]Robin[/name_u] Hood.
[name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]Brook[/name_u]- I like [name_u]August[/name_u] a lot, maybe even more than [name_m]Augustus[/name_m]. It makes me think of Pinocchio from Once Upon a Time. The combo together feels a bit feminine though.
[name_m]Ethan[/name_m] [name_u]Reed[/name_u]- I have never had a good experience with a boy named [name_m]Ethan[/name_m] so I’m a bit biased against this one. [name_u]Reed[/name_u] is handsome and I prefer it to [name_u]Reid[/name_u].
[name_u]Elliot[/name_u] [name_u]Flynn[/name_u]- [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] has started to grow on me in the past few days and I loved [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] since I saw Tangled as a kid ([name_u]Flynn[/name_u] [name_u]Ryder[/name_u] is top tier Disney men and no one can change my mind). This combo is very handsome.
[name_u]Timothy[/name_u] [name_u]Briar[/name_u]- I’ve started to like [name_u]Timothy[/name_u] after timothee chalamet but I don’t like [name_m]Tim[/name_m]. I always hear [name_u]Briar[/name_u] paired with [name_f]Rose[/name_f] so it sound feminine or harsh to name after stickerbushes.
[name_m]Philip[/name_m] [name_m]Hugo[/name_m]- I’m a weirdo who prefers [name_m]Phillip[/name_m], the other way feels incomplete. I’ve never been a fan of [name_m]Hugo[/name_m], even after watching Lost or [name_m]Hugo[/name_m]. It sounds guttural or something. I’d prefer [name_m]Philip[/name_m] with a different middle.
[name_m]Judah[/name_m] [name_m]Caspian[/name_m]- I really like this name. [name_m]Judah[/name_m] is handsome and [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] is an all time fav. I love all the different sounds you get from this pairing. Beautiful.

Heidi- I love this name, it’s very pretty. Funny enough, kids I babysat had a friendly pet pig named [name_f]Heidi[/name_f] who loved belly rubs. Definitely a good name.
[name_f]Joy[/name_f]- This always makes me think of [name_f]Joy[/name_f] from Inside Out, especially next to [name_f]Amy[/name_f]. I think I’d like to hear it on a boy.
[name_f]Amy[/name_f]- this ones a bit dated for me. I know a lot of them in their 30s.
[name_m]Daniel[/name_m]- it’s a good name, not a favorite but it’s ok
[name_m]Leon[/name_m]- nms
[name_m]John[/name_m]- Classic. Nice simple name.

Caspian Ambrose - such a handsome combo. I love the name Caspian, it sounds so valiant. Ambrose is very musical and noble. They go well together and he sounds like a name of a knight in a fairytale! Love it!
Phoenix Apollo - they’re both very strong names and I think they’re a bit too much together, especially with the space craft theme. I love the symbolic rebirth meaning of Phoenix. Apollo is a really cool, spunky name and works well as a middle name
Atticus Finnegan - Atticus is one of my favourite names, it’s so handsome and effortlessly cool! Finnegan isn’t my style but it really compliments Atticus and is a strong, masculine name. The only concern I would have is that the ee sounds are repeated in both names (Att-EE-cus/Finn-EE-gan) and it’s a little jarring when you say the name out loud (but that might just be my accent)
Salem Bellamy - I do associate the name Salem with a smart arse black cat but that’s not necessarily a bad thing :laughing: Bellamy really tempers the quirkiness of Salem and is soft yet also masculine
Draco Adonis - I love Draco, it’s so magical and yet strong. I’m not keen on Adonis but it makes for a strong, handsome combo
Julian Knight - Julian is really handsome and classical, very musical sounding to the ear. Knight definitely spices the combo up and I like the valiant associations of the word. Another really cool combo!
Jupiter Percival - Jupiter isn’t really my style, it’s a little out there for a first name. But I have some serious love for Percival, it’s very handsome and romantic. I think I prefer this name reversed to Percival Jupiter!
Killian Sawyer - a very strong, masculine combo. I prefer Cillian to Killian aesthetically but this is a really cool name

Octavia Reign - a really strong, no nonsense name. So cool and spunky.
Cordelia Nightingale - Cordelia is one of my favourite names! The names really work together and flow beautifully. I love the image this name conjures up, of a bird flying over water at night time. Magical!
Adelaide Wednesday - Adelaide is a really strong, classic name. I’m not a fan of Wednesday and feel the strong d sounds in the names clash and make it sound very clunky together
Calliope Moon - such a magical, whimsical combination. They go together so well. Literally breathtaking
Artemis Storm - Artemis isn’t my style but this such a bad ass name it’s kind of hard not to love
Regina Juliette - I love how the hard, commanding Regina is softened up by the sweet, musical Juliette. Even more so with this particular spelling of the name. I think I prefer the name reversed but it’s still very majestic sounding
Lydia Violet - a lot more simple compared to the rest of your signature but it’s very hardy and robust. It flows really well and conjures up images of a rosy cheeked girl playing in the woods
Selene Katara - it flows really well together. I love the silky, slinkiness if Selene paired up with the punchy Katara. I love how it sounds, I can’t stop saying it out loud

Arlo: I like [name_u]Arlo[/name_u], but it kind of feels trendy. It sounds alright, though. 7/10
Arthur: It’s difficult for me to remove this name from the Aardvark connotation, but it’s a classic boys’ name that has a lasting and refined sound. 8/10
Atticus: One of my very favorite boys’ names! Classic, literary, and unqiue!! 10/10
Caspian: I adore [name_m]Caspian[/name_m]! I like [name_m]Cassian[/name_m] just a little bit more, but this name is still very modern while not being unheard of. I like the nature connotation as well!! 10/10
Elijah: [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] is a little too religious for my personal taste, but it’s still a very nice name. 8/10
Ezra: I like [name_u]Ezra[/name_u] a lot! It fits in your naming style very well, and it has that great modern sound while still being a well-known name. Another super trendy one in the US right now, but I wouldn’t let that deter you. 9/10
Frederick: In theory, [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] is great. Classic, elegant, and well known. However, I just cannot picture it on an actual child. Both the full name and any nicknames I can come up with ([name_m]Fred[/name_m], [name_u]Freddie[/name_u], [name_u]Ricky[/name_u], etc,) sound outdated and not wearable. 5/10
Hamish: I love a good Scottish name, and [name_m]Hamish[/name_m] is no exception!! This is a little brave for an actual child I think, since I’ve never actually heard it irl, but I still really like the sound! 9/10
Henry: [name_m]Henry[/name_m] is a popular name that I absolutely love! It is soo classic and handsome, plus I like [name_u]Harry[/name_u] a lot as a nickname (never really know how [name_m]Henry[/name_m] becomes [name_u]Harry[/name_u], but I dig it!). 10/10
Hugo: [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] is one of those Namberry-popular boys names that I hate at first but ultimately come around to. It’s really cool and short, filled with lots of soft sounds with the h- and -o. 10/10
Jasper: I honestly have no feelings about this name. I hear it a lot, and it sounds good enough, I suppose. I don’t love J names, but the gentle ending of this one makes it better. 8/10
Jude: While still a little religious, I like [name_u]Jude[/name_u] a lot. I’ve heard it only a few times, but I still feel like it’s very wearable. Short, classic, and handsome. 9/10
Levi: [name_u]Levi[/name_u] is very popular on this site, but I don’t like it at all. [name_f]My[/name_f] first thought is always of the jeans brand, which for some might be vintage and cute, but it just seems strange to me. 4/10
Luca: I love a good Italian name, and trendy [name_u]Luca[/name_u] is no exception! It is very pleasant and romantic sounding, plus I feel like it’s very wearable on a child today, 10/10
Maximilian: I like [name_u]Maxwell[/name_u] more, but [name_m]Maximilian[/name_m] is very cool and unique. [name_u]Max[/name_u] is a very wearable and classic nickname, which makes any longer form usable. 8/10
Nathaniel Another long form with a cool nickname ([name_m]Nate[/name_m]), [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] is classic with an added literary bonus. I like it a lot! 9/10
River: I hated [name_u]River[/name_u] until it was the name of my favorite character in The Politician, and now I have decently good feelings about it. Still a little out-there as a nature name, but as it becomes more popular, it also becomes more wearable! 8/10
Rupert: Are you British? I’m just asking because I think your name style includes some that are just not on the radar in the US, but are well-liked in the UK, like [name_u]Jasper[/name_u], [name_m]Arthur[/name_m], and now [name_m]Rupert[/name_m]. I have never heard this name, but it is cute enough. I’m not sure it would work on an American kid, but there’s something about [name_m]Britain[/name_m] that allows for more old-fashioned names. 7/10
Sebastian: [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] is another major favorite of mine! I have the shorter form ([name_m]Bastian[/name_m]) on my user card right now, but I’ve had [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] on it before! [name_m]Long[/name_m] but not too long, plenty of nicknames, familiar but underused, what a wonderful name! 10/10

Atticus [name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]: I’ve already rated all of these names, so I’ll just give the combo a number based on flow, and this one is a 10/10!!
Jasper [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m]: Cool flow, maybe too many soft sounds, but still very nice! 8/10
Sebastian [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_u]Arlo[/name_u]: Same as the previous one, but I’ll give it a 9/10 since it has some of my favorites!

Alice: I like [name_f]Alice[/name_f]! Classic, literary, not too popular: all of the ingredients for the perfect name, imo. 10/10
Aria: [name_f]Aria[/name_f]’s a little trendy for me, but I’d like it as a middle. It’s kinda overused, and I like your classic names more! 5/10
Audrey: While I have a bad personal experience with an [name_f]Audrey[/name_f], [name_f]Audrey[/name_f] Hepburn is my actual hero, so I’m partial to this name. It’s very classic, with a nice combo of soft and hard sounds. 9/10
Beatrix: I am in the minority of Berries in my distaste for this name. It seems too harsh on an actual child, with the hard t and x sounds. It does fit in your naming style really well, so I’ll give it a 7/10.
Cassia: I mentioned before that I really liked [name_m]Cassian[/name_m] on a boy, and I think I like [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] almost as much! Familiar, but very underused, with a very romantic and celestial sound. 10/10
Clara: Here we go again with another wearable, classic, and literary name that fits the bill perfectly! [name_f]Clara[/name_f] is beautiful and so rich with tradition, easily one of my favorites on your user card! 10/10
Cora: [name_f]Cora[/name_f] is also very pretty. I think it’s particularly beautiful as a middle, but it also works well as a first. 9/10
Cordelia: [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] is beautiful! It feels like an updated form of [name_f]Cornelia[/name_f], and is incredibly elegant. Wonderful name, and a great way to get to nickname [name_f]Cora[/name_f]. 10/10
Delilah: I’m not a huge fan of the sound of [name_f]Delilah[/name_f], but it fits in with your naming style alright. 7/10
Edie: I’m assuming this is Ee-dee, so that’s what I’ll review. I can’t really see this as a full name, but only as a nickname for [name_f]Edith[/name_f] or [name_f]Eadlyn[/name_f]. It feels kind of outdated to me, since [name_f]Edith[/name_f] still seems exclusively an “old-lady” name. However, if I really look at it, it seems like a cute nickname that could make a resurgence. 6/10
Eliza: I don’t love [name_f]Eliza[/name_f], but it’s alright. It seems like a very nondescript name to me, wearable but not standout in any major way. 7/10
Hazel: [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] is a little too trendy for me, but I like color names and the sound is sweet enough. 7/10
India: I don’t like place names, and [name_f]India[/name_f] sounds kind of like a child pop star to me. That’s really just a personal opinion, but I also don’t think that [name_f]India[/name_f] fits really well at all with your naming style. 4/10
Lily: I like [name_f]Lily[/name_f]! It’s one of the prettiest flower names, imo. A little bit overused (I know like 7 Lilys), but overused for very good reason. 9/10
Luna: In terms of common celestial names, I think [name_f]Stella[/name_f] is prettier, but [name_f]Luna[/name_f] is cool enough, I suppose. The -oo- sound in the middle is very trendy and I like the shortness of it. 8/10
Juno: I really can only think of the movie, [name_f]Juno[/name_f], and while that might be a great connotation for some, it’s not really for me. I also don’t like the sound of this name, it doesn’t seem like it would fit a girl in any age. 4/10
Pearl: I go back and forth on [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]. On one hand, it’s kind of outdated, and has a short, harsh sound. On the other hand, it has a simply “pearly” sound. The purr- sound at the beginning is very enticing, and I ultimately like it a lot. 8/10
Phoebe: [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] is super pretty! Very familiar, but also has this vintagey, Greek sound that makes it endlessly unqiue. The meaning of “radiant, shining one” is also a huge plus. 10/10
Poppy: I just cannot resist a flower name! [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] is another that seems more wearable in the UK, though I’ve been hearing it a little more here in the US. It is youthful and sweet, but I can also see it wearing well at any age. 9/10
Primrose: Another gorgeous flower name, you’re killing me! I love [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] nn [name_f]Posey[/name_f], it’s one of my very favorites. It’s longer than most flower names, which is a plus to fit in a longer sibset, very nice! 10/10
Saffron: I’ve only ever heard this name in movie and tv show characters, but it’s pretty enough. I just feel like it would be a little bit strange on an actual child, I’m not sure why. Very unqiue, though, and with a nice sound. 8/10
Thea: I don’t like this as a stand alone name (maybe in the middle, though), but I like it as a nickname for longer forms, like [name_f]Theodora[/name_f] or [name_f]Theodosia[/name_f]. One of my favorite nicknames, though, so I don’t want to discount it! 8/10

Audrey [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]: Nice, modern sound. 9/10
Clara [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Primrose[/name_f]: Classic and swoon-worthy! 10/10
Cora [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f]: Pretty, but flow is a little abrupt. 7/10
Cordelia [name_f]Bluebell[/name_f]: So whimsical and pretty!! 10/10
Eliza [name_f]Poppy[/name_f]: Sweet, with a good flow. 9/10
Luna [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]: Maybe a little short, but still nice. 8/10

(no number ratings for the GPs)
Bluebell: Definitely a GP for me too haha, but I like it as a middle.
Cleo: If you can find a long name that works with this as a nn, I would adore it.
Coco: Same as [name_f]Cleo[/name_f], but I know [name_u]Coco[/name_u]’s that are [name_f]Caroline[/name_f], [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f], even [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f].
Fox: Wayyy too out-there for me.
Iago: I die. So cool. Definitely another GP, but I love it!
Lazlo: This feels made up. Is it? I don’t love the z sound with an -o ending.
Maple: Like [name_f]Bluebell[/name_f], I feel like this could work as a middle.
Plum: Taken aback by how sweet this is, but I don’t think you can use this at all
Taika: I’m something of a Watiti fan, so I’m certainly partial to Taika. :))

sunday lane ~
I think [name_f]Sunday[/name_f] is stunning (and [name_u]Sunny[/name_u] is very cute), but I think I prefer [name_f]Wednesday[/name_f] as a day name. [name_u]Lane[/name_u] isn’t really my taste, but this pairing has such a delightful cottagey style. I think it has a lovely flow, and a really sweet vibe.

astra maeve ~
definitely my favourite of any of your combos! [name_f]Astra[/name_f] sounds so fantastical and [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] fits so well with it. 1000/10.

astrid elodie ~
I’m not wild on [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] (I know a lot of them), but it fits well with the first. This has a pretty flow, but isn’t my favourite of yours. I like its unusual but familiar, romantic sound. I think it would work well!

charlotte sophie ~
this is very pretty, but seems out of place amongst your other combos. I think I prefer your quirkier combos - traditional, classy names aren’t really my taste. Nonetheless, it’s impossible to pretend [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] isn’t delightful.

florence ivy ~
okay, so I know what I said about traditional names, but this gives me such a strong, lovely, image, that it’s impossible to resist. I can see an old red brick house at dusk with old street lights and ivy creeping across the walls. It’s irresistible - 10/10.

I love [name_m]Elio[/name_m] - it has such a sweet, romantic sound. [name_m]William[/name_m] doesn’t really fit for me, lovely as it is. It just seems a little clashy in style. I think it would be a lovely name on an actual human (especially if [name_m]William[/name_m]’s an honour), but as a combo on paper, it’s ever so slightly off - it does flow well, though!

though [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] isn’t really my style, I think it has such a lovely artistic feel. [name_m]Henry[/name_m], like [name_m]William[/name_m] with [name_m]Elio[/name_m], doesn’t really seem to compliment it - however, both names have a very similar (and lovely) colour palette in my mind, so I’m do like the pairing in that regard.

this is my favourite of your pairings for boys - it has such a dramatic, romantic feel. I don’t have much to say about this, but it’s lovely - I really like [name_m]Bastian[/name_m] as a less-used, less-crabby variant of [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m], and [name_m]Leo[/name_m] feels ‘right’ next to it.

atticus clark ~
I really like [name_m]Atticus[/name_m], but [name_m]Clark[/name_m] feels a little off next to it - they look good next to each other, but just seem so contradictory - [name_m]Clark[/name_m] just feels so straightforward and buttoned-up to me. I do like the feel of the set, though, just not as much as some others.

this probably isn’t the vibe you were going for, but the feel of this set is mad, bad and dangerous to know (which is exactly my thing). I’m not obsessed with the sound of the names out loud, but I do love that energy.

also: each of your combos has a such a strong, distinctive mental image/colour palette, so I wanted to mention those -
sunday lane ~ pale honey colours and greens - a small town - a honeysuckle plant
astra maeve ~ dark purple, mostly, but a little pastel pink too - stargazing on a roof
astrid elodie ~ pale purples and yellows - maybe ballet
charlotte sophie ~ maroon or soft purple
florence ivy ~ already described - gentle, evening blue, brick red, ivy green and ivory
elio william ~ very yellow, gentle sunny colours and cream
raphael henry ~ blood red, deep teal, rose pink, and a blue so pale that it’s almost white
bastian leo ~ lots of greyish blue and turmeric yellow - like a renaissance painting
atticus clark ~ light blue and brown - beaten leather
thiago laurence ~ bold royal blue and blood red - secrets and maybe a funky dagger
