OOOH I GET TO DO SAPPHO’S UC!
Okay, here we go!
Elfrida Titiana Puck- Elfrida is an adorable and underused name and I love it! Titiana is not my style but pretty and fits with the combo. Puck feels… random?
Rosalind Phoebe Arden- a beautiful combo. Rosalind is so pretty and underused. Arden has that cool unisex vibe that it so lovely on girls. Phoebe is not my style, but it works well with the other two names and has a nice flow.
Elsbeth Hecate Ferelith- Elsbeth is another very pretty name. Honestly I think I’m starting to prefer Elsbeth over Elspeth, now. Hecate is unexpected and bold. Ferelith I had never heard before, and I love it! I adore girl’s names that end in -th so this combo is definitely a big YES for me!
Liviana Desmonda Viridis- I like names with a lot of flow and this name definitely fits that! Liviana is not my style but cute. Desmonda is so striking and I love seeing it used! Viridis, again, I had never seen before, and it is amazing in this combo!
Arielle Tempest Prosper- Arielle is cute, not really my style, but Tempest Prosper! Tempest is such a strong, bold name and seeing this combo made me like the name Prosper. This combo is simply wonderful. What else is there to say?
Honor Juliet Verona- Typically, virtue names annoy me, but Honor is so regal and charming and I love it! Like Arden, it has a cool unisex feel to it. Juliet is so pretty and doubtlessly would be on my own UC if nor for already having Julian and Romeo. Verona feels like a shorter version of Veronica— definitely better than Veronica, but I don’t know if I’d like it on its own? It makes this combo, though! 10/10!
Elsinore Ophelia Helsa- Elsinore is absolutely amazing! What a beautiful, vintage-y name. Ophelia is not my style but very pretty and works well with Elsinore. Helsa I had also never heard before, and I like it! A striking combo.
Illyria Violet Storm- This would have to be my favorite of your combos! Illyria is so striking and regal, and I love it! I may have to steal it, in fact. Violet is also so pretty and would certainly be on my list if not for its popularity. Storm is one of those names that I wouldn’t have liked before joining NB, but now I think is amazing! This combo is simply breathtaking!

Adlai [name_m]Augustus[/name_m]- I don’t really know how to pronounce [name_m]Adlai[/name_m] and I prefer [name_u]August[/name_u]. I’m also not a big fan of alliteration.
Alexander [name_m]Lars[/name_m]- I like this one! [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] is very classic and handsome. I like seeing [name_m]Lars[/name_m].

Asa [name_m]Riordan[/name_m]- Spunky Irish cowboy. No notes.
Ashby [name_m]Silas[/name_m]- Nice [name_f]English[/name_f] farm boy. I’ve only ever seen one guy named [name_u]Ashby[/name_u]. It’s a fun name.

Claude [name_m]Lucien[/name_m]- Very [name_u]French[/name_u]! Sophisticated! I like it!
Clovis [name_u]Rex[/name_u]- I like that it means “[name_m]King[/name_m] [name_m]Clovis[/name_m]”, but I can’t think of [name_m]Clovis[/name_m] as anything other than another word for female genitalia .
Corliss [name_u]Timothy[/name_u]- I can only think of [name_f]Corliss[/name_f] as a girl’s name.
Crofton [name_u]Grey[/name_u]- Feels like a place in Wuthering Heights. I don’t really like it.
Dallas [name_m]Rhett[/name_m]- Handsome and extremely [name_u]Southern[/name_u].

Edgar [name_u]Jude[/name_u] “EJ”- I love the name! The nickname isn’t my favorite, though.
Eliseo [name_u]Bodhi[/name_u]- I love [name_m]Eliseo[/name_m]! [name_u]Bodhi[/name_u], however. feels a little… cultural appropriation-y?
Erkki [name_u]Maddox[/name_u]- I don’t like [name_m]Erkki[/name_m], but [name_u]Maddox[/name_u] is cool!

Ezra [name_u]Julian[/name_u]- So handsome! Sounds like a poet.

Frederick [name_u]Luca[/name_u] “[name_m]Fritz[/name_m]”- I literally love everything about this one.
Isaac [name_m]Giovanni[/name_m]- Partially Italian photographer. Looks like [name_m]Timothée[/name_m] Chalamet. [name_u]Love[/name_u] it.
Gilan [name_m]Fletcher[/name_m]- Same as [name_m]Ferris[/name_m] [name_u]Gabriel[/name_u]. Reminds me of [name_f]Gila[/name_f] monsters.
Harrison [name_m]Felix[/name_m]- Same as [name_u]Ezra[/name_u] [name_u]Julian[/name_u]!
Hawthorne [name_u]Milo[/name_u]- Two really great names! I feel like I would prefer [name_u]Milo[/name_u] [name_m]Hawthorne[/name_m], but it’s still cool.

Jiago [name_u]Harper[/name_u]- [name_m]Young[/name_m], handsome Romani author. [name_u]Love[/name_u] it.
Laurence [name_u]Pax[/name_u] “[name_u]Laurie[/name_u]”- I. [name_u]Love[/name_u]. This. No notes.
Ledger Lidio- I don’t really like this one.
Leverett [name_m]Hugo[/name_m]- I would prefer [name_u]Everett[/name_u] over Leverett, but it’s okay.
Lloyd [name_u]Carlisle[/name_u]- Both names are just kind of “meh” to me.
Nickolai [name_m]Anders[/name_m]- I would prefer [name_m]Nikolai[/name_m], but I really like it!
Oliver [name_u]Hayes[/name_u]- Great!
Ozias [name_m]Mace[/name_m]- Feels like a Star Wars character. I don’t really like it. How about [name_m]Osiris[/name_m]?
Pascal [name_m]Severin[/name_m]- So cool! I love [name_m]Pascal[/name_m].
Peregrine [name_m]Casper[/name_m]- [name_f]Awesome[/name_f]!
Redley [name_u]Fox[/name_u]- It’s okay. I really like [name_u]Fox[/name_u], though!
Remy [name_u]Willoughby[/name_u]- It’s nice.
Robinson [name_m]Wayne[/name_m] “[name_m]Rocky[/name_m]”- [name_m]Wayne[/name_m] is very handsome. I like [name_m]Robinson[/name_m], though I would prefer [name_u]Robin[/name_u] on a boy. [name_m]Rocky[/name_m] is okay.
Roger [name_m]Malachi[/name_m] “[name_u]Rory[/name_u]”- I love it!!! [name_m]Roger[/name_m] is a favorite name of mine 
Ronan [name_m]Roosevelt[/name_m]- I like the names separately, but not together.
Salvador [name_m]Locke[/name_m]- So cool!
Sawyer [name_u]James[/name_u]- It feels a bit basic? It’s alright.
Sebastian [name_m]Romeo[/name_m]- I normally wouldn’t like [name_m]Romeo[/name_m]… but I really like it in this combo.
Sergei [name_m]Tobias[/name_m]- I like [name_m]Sergei[/name_m]! Especially with [name_m]Tobias[/name_m].
Solomon [name_u]Quill[/name_u]- I love it!
Sylvester [name_m]Paul[/name_m] “[name_m]Sly[/name_m]”- I like [name_m]Paul[/name_m].
Thaddeus [name_u]George[/name_u]- Pretty British. I like it!
Theodore [name_m]John[/name_m]- Same as [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u]. I do like it, though.
Wilbur [name_m]Simon[/name_m]- So cute! I love it!
Addison [name_f]Astrid[/name_f]- I prefer [name_u]Addison[/name_u] on a boy. I don’t like the alliteration. [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] is cool.
Briar [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u]- Bold soccer player (I’m saying “soccer“ this time because this one feels American). I really like it!
From here on out, the only ones I don’t like are [name_u]Ellison[/name_u] [name_f]Aviva[/name_f] and [name_u]Micah[/name_u] [name_f]Miranda[/name_f]. I don’t like boys’ names on girls (except my dear [name_m]Toulouse[/name_m]). Your style makes me think of old literature and Victorian [name_f]English[/name_f] moors. I love it.

Hoping I can do your lovely UC justice! 
hoping for
Ophelia - I love the sound of Ophelia! It’s so romantic and vibrant! It makes me think of the song Ophelia by The Lumineers!
Vance - I’m surprised this isn’t more common on nameberry! I honestly haven’t thought much about it, so I’d say I’m quite neutral on it! I do think the sound is appealing, and it gives me medieval, romantic vibes!
loose names
Sailor - I like this spelling much better than Saylor! It’s not really my cup of tea, but I knew a girl named Sailor and it worked well for her!
Imogen - In my accent, this sounds like a creative spelling of “imagine.” I used to really dislike the name because of that, but it’s grown on me a bit since then.
Margot - I’ve never been a huge fan of Margot, but I am definitely in the minority! It feels fun yet grounded, which I quite like!
Poem - Would make a darling middle! Not a fan of it as a first name. (I’m not sure where you are planning on using it.)
Saskia - This one sounds a bit funny when I say it out loud, but it looks so beautiful written out, and I love the cheery, funky vibes I get from it!
Joan - Feels a bit dated and out of place with your other names, but I still quite like it!
Toulouse - Hmm… not quite sure how to pronounce this one. It feels very surname-y, but I don’t hate it…
Isaac - This was on my list for so long! I still think it’s such a handsome name, I just got a bit tired of it!
Thatcher - This one feels a bit… prickly? I don’t know… it does feels quite woodsy, which I like a lot!
Fox - I knew a boy named Fox, and he wore it well! Still a bit of an odd one for me to get my head around, but it’s definitely usable! I love the animal, which makes me like the name more!
Theodore - I wish I liked this more, because so many Berries do! I do like how regal and charming it is, and the nicknames Theo and Teddy are really sweet! Very versatile name!
August - One of my top boy names! So handsome and outdoorsy, and I love the nickname Gus!
Atticus - Not very nice with my accent, but I love the imagery and the way it looks!
Horace - Feels very heavy and grumpy to me for some reason. I think I could come around to it in the right combo.
Priam - Makes me think of a Prius. Not sure if I love the sound, but it could be cool as a middle name.
Valentine - so handsome and romantic! I wouldn’t be brave enough to use it upfront, but I still really like it! I also love Valentin!
Huron - I think of Lake Huron in Michigan! Really, really cool! Again, probably middle spot territory!
Napoleon - I think of Napoleon Dynamite and Napoleon Solo from Man from U.N.C.L.E. It’s definitely a very big name. I like that Leo or Leon could be used as nicknames!
combos
Vance Peter - This is very handsome! Vance sounds a little sharper, so the softer sounding Peter is perfect with it!
Jack Bullard - Nice, strong combo. I love Jack!
Charlie Ace - I’m honestly not a huge fan of this one. Charlie seems too nickname-y to stand on its own imo, and Ace feels almost… too cool? I don’t know. It’s not my thing, but the combo flows very nicely.
Twain William - I actually really like Twain! Super cool! William balances it out nicely, while still retaining the literary feel!
Simon Cove - This one is really cool! I love nature names in the middle spot! Simon is amazing!
Caspian Rhys - Oh, I love this one soooo much! Caspian is a long time GP of mine, and it sounds so handsome with Rhys!
Samuel Callahan - I’ve been loving the name Samuel recently! Really great name! I do think it’s a lot of L sounds paired with Callahan, but it’s still a nice combo!
Ferdinand Louis - I feel like the flow of this one is a bit off. Louis Ferdinand (or Lewis Ferdinand) would flow much better imo! Ferdinand is a bit much as a first name, but that’s just me.
Milo Teague - I like this one a lot! Milo is so sweet! Teague sounds really good with it!
Rhidian James - This is a good combo! I’m a little tired of seeing James in the middle spot, but it flows so well here that I can’t be bothered by it!
Roger Clyde - Very handsome combo! Roger had been growing on me lately!
Ophelia Blue - never been a huge fan of Blue, but it works well with Ophelia!
Evangeline Fay - Love this combo! The only thing is that I prefer the spelling Faye. Absolutely gorgeous though!
Maeve Boudicca - This is very cool! I’m honestly not a huge fan of Maeve, but this combo has a lot of spark to it!
Elodie Maren - Love, love, love this one!I especially love the name Maren (which probably deserves its own combo!)
Delyth Marie - Delyth is an interesting choice. I’m kind of on the fence about it. I love Della, so Delyth should have similar appeal. Marie is sweet here.
Persephone Rain - Persephone isn’t my style, but putting that aside this combo is lovely! Rain is just enchanting!
Harvest Grace - I love the warm oranges and yellows of this combo! Not sure about having two word names together. (I can’t really comment on that though, because I have names like that on my list! XD)
Josephine Scout - Oh, this one is just lovely! Very vintage chic!
Beatrix Marsha - While neither name is my style, they do work well together!
Eileen Fifer - Eileen feels a bit out of date to me, but Fifer really brightens it up! The flow is great as well!
Enola Jane - I know this is probably inspired by Enola Holmes (which I know nothing about), but I can’t help but think about it being “alone” backwards. That said, Jane is a good middle name for it!

@may.rose, your user card is lovely as always!
Rose Madeleine- This is very elegant and warm!
Emma Lavender- This is my favorite girl name you have! It’s intuitive, gentle, approachable, and fun! I love it!
Anya Cosette- While neither of these names are my taste, it’s an elegant and smart combination.
Marie Florence- I’m happy to see Marie as a first name! This feels old-fashioned but not stiff.
Clara Sonnet- This name is musical! It has the same approachable whimsy as your other names.
June Lilibeth- While Lilibeth isn’t my favorite, this is a wonderfully balanced combination.
Elise Cordelia- This is really pretty!
Heidi Susanna- While I have yet to warm up to Heidi, I think Heidi and Susanna have similar feels and make an old-fashioned, gently twee combination!
Wesley Forest- This is handsome and gentle.
Philip Archer- Neither of these names are my personal taste, but the combination is balanced and matched your other names stylistically.
Linus Ambrose- This is handsome! It feels clunky cool.
Benjamin Sage- I love this! It feels gentle and wise, and another excellently balanced traditional name and natural middle.
Timothy Briar- This is fun and whimsical!
Edwin Sparrow- This feels fantastical but substantial.
August Fable- This is lovely! It feels a little bit like a description to me (however, that definition of August is rarely used) but it definitely works.
Elliot Finch- This seems cool and modern while having the same earthy tones.
Fern Coppelia- This feels like the name of a spunky fantasy princess. It’s very nice!
Gwen Ferelith- This is lovely!
Finnian Lark- I adore this! It has the same grounded and gentle whimsy of your best combinations.
Cedric March- This is tied with Finnian Lark for my favorite of your boys names (Benjamin Sage is the honorable runner up). I love the possible literary ties. This is a great combination!

@DriftingMaie, I’m pronouncing [name_f]Ida[/name_f] and [name_u]Ira[/name_u] with the same long i sound (I/eye).
1 Like
Marjorie [name_f]Sarah[/name_f]: [name_f]Marjorie[/name_f]’s pretty, but a little outdated-sounding. I think it might come back though, so maybe you’re just ahead of the curve! [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] is classic and pretty here.
Ida [name_f]Alice[/name_f]: This is also cute! Very vintage, but in a good way, and [name_f]Ida[/name_f] is sweet. I’m not sure I love that the end sound of [name_f]Ida[/name_f] is the start sound of [name_f]Alice[/name_f] though, it makes it a little clunky, sound wise.
Eliza [name_f]Philomena[/name_f]: I’m not the biggest fan of names that end in the same sound, but this one is actually pretty nice. [name_f]Philomena[/name_f] is very unexpected and I think it is just beautiful in the middle spot for this combo.
Susannah [name_u]Jean[/name_u]: Not exactly my style, but this combo is gorgeous! It sounds so old-fashioned and sweet, and is completely wearable at any age.
Simon [name_m]Salvatore[/name_m]: This has total like teen vampire show vibes, and I’m kind of obsessed with it. The alliteration here is very cool, and [name_m]Simon[/name_m] is underused and underrated!
Ira [name_m]John[/name_m]: [name_u]Ira[/name_u] is a total guilty pleasure for me, not because it’s unusable, but because I’m Catholic and where I live it’s a very Jewish name. Anyway, I totally love it, and [name_u]Ira[/name_u] [name_m]John[/name_m] is so classic and handsome! It sounds short and sweet, very wearable at any age.
Isola [name_f]Mary[/name_f]: I’m not super familiar with [name_f]Isola[/name_f], but it sounds super pretty! I usually don’t love ultra-plain [name_f]Mary[/name_f], but it’s a family name for me too and it sounds really classic and nice in this combo. I’m surprised by how much I like this name!
Abilene [name_u]Anne[/name_u]: Hey, [name_u]Anne[/name_u] here! I’m a fan, especially with the -e at the end, and it sounds so pretty with alliterative [name_u]Abilene[/name_u] in the front spot. Very vintage and classic.
Evangeline [name_f]Ruth[/name_f]: Two really underrated names here combine to create a perfect combo! [name_f]Ruth[/name_f] is vintage and sweet, [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] is less familiar but full of romance, and I can see this name on an adult or a little girl.
Levi [name_m]David[/name_m]: [name_u]Levi[/name_u] is not my taste at all, and I’m not sure if I even objectively like this combo. The names have very similar sounds, and it just sounds too repetitive to the ear. Maybe [name_u]Levi[/name_u] [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] would be better?
Esther [name_f]Lucinda[/name_f]: This is one of those combos which I feel might just be too vintage. [name_f]Esther[/name_f] hasn’t really made its comeback yet, and [name_f]Lucinda[/name_f] just feels like an evil-stepmother name to me. The names sound good together, but I’m not sure they go, stylistically.
Ivy [name_u]Antonia[/name_u]: OMG, how beautiful! [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] is one of my favorites, and [name_u]Antonia[/name_u] is just stunning. This is such a romantic-sounding combo, it makes me think of Spanish summers and medieval love stories.
Naomi [name_f]Zelda[/name_f]: I don’t like [name_f]Zelda[/name_f] at all, not my style, but [name_f]Naomi[/name_f] [name_f]Zelda[/name_f] is pretty. It sounds nice, and [name_f]Naomi[/name_f] is just underused enough to hit that familiar-underrated sweet spot.
Leah [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]: [name_f]Leah[/name_f] is another that isn’t to my own taste, but I can see the appeal in this very classic combo. I like the short-long pairing and the sound of these names together so much!
Gideon [name_u]Francis[/name_u]: Very cool! [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] is underused in the real world, but popular here on NB, and I almost never hear [name_u]Francis[/name_u]. I like how daring [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] is with the buttoned up “grandpa name” of [name_u]Francis[/name_u], they flow very nicely.
Gabriel [name_m]Vincent[/name_m]: I love [name_u]Gabriel[/name_u]! I knew one growing up whom I loved dearly, and I just adore hearing the name used. [name_u]Gabriel[/name_u] and [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] go perfectly together, both sound and style wise, and this combo is excellent and wearable.
Frances [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]: I don’t love [name_f]Frances[/name_f] for a girl, but this combo is super pretty! Very vintage, very classic and sweet. It sounds like it’s from the 1940s Midwest, all farmhouses and plaid dresses.
Fiona [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]: [name_f]Fiona[/name_f] is surprising, and completely beautiful, with [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]! Both names are classic and elegant, and they sound perfect together. [name_f]Fiona[/name_f] is kind of lyrical, while [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] is tied-down and to the point, great combo.
Cassian [name_u]James[/name_u]: Both of these names are among my favorites!! [name_m]Cassian[/name_m] sounds like a little pirate adventurer, and [name_u]James[/name_u] is a traditional middle to seal [name_m]Cassian[/name_m]’s boldness. It’s such a handsome and wearable combo, a complete classic!
Fabian [name_m]Matthew[/name_m]: I’m not obsessed with [name_m]Fabian[/name_m], but [name_m]Fabian[/name_m] [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] is a great combo. They have contrasting but complimentary sounds, and it’s another where a traditional middle name works to ground a more daring first.
Lily [name_f]Caterina[/name_f]: So pretty! [name_f]Lily[/name_f] is such a classic, and it sounds lyrical and light with multi-syllable [name_f]Caterina[/name_f]! I can see this name on a little girl, or on an adult woman, which I feel is the ultimate wearability test for a combo.

@anniebrown01 your UC is stunning!
Sunday Lane - Sunday is nms but I love the potential nickname Sunny and it flows well with Lane. I think my only problem with the combo is that it sounds like a street name, like “oh I live on 123 Sunday Lane!” kind of thing.
Astra Maeve - Astra has such a cool and strong sound and it flows perfectly with Maeve! Maeve is also nms but this is a great combo.
Stella Sadie - I love both of these names but I’m not sure if I like them together. Something’s throwing me off about the flow.
Astrid Elodie - I also love Astrid (but I think I prefer Astra personally)! Elodie is a sweet name, it flows well as a middle although both names have such strong d sounds.
Charlotte Sophie - again, I love both names but together they’re not really as exciting as your other combos. I do love Charlotte though, it’s got such a strong sound and so many nickname options. It also doesn’t really feel popular even though it’s pretty high on the charts which is nice.
Florence Ivy - both names are nms but this combo flows well.
Daisy Mercedes - I love Daisy and Mercedes is super cool but they sound a bit rhymey here. I think Mercedes might sound better as a middle to Charlotte or Stella but I’m not sure what middle would better compliment Daisy.
Elio William - Elio is growing on me. It has a cool sound and isn’t common. I love William. It sounds very regal and works for everyone. Both names flow great even though they’re relatively long syllable wise.
Raphael Henry - this one is my favorite! Raphael is such an underrated and gorgeous classic and Henry sounds so sweet and youthful to me. This combo also flows really well.
Bastian Leo - Sebastian and Bastian are nms but I like them for other people. Leo is a nice middle name for it.
Atticus Ambrose - Atticus is growing on me and Ambrose is nms but again good for other people. This is a perfectly fine combo!
Cassian Nicholas - I love Nicholas and Cassian makes for a really interesting and unexpected first for it. Like Elio William, the names flow even though it’s a pretty long combo.
Thiago Laurence - I love Thiago! It has such a handsome and romantic sound, makes me think of sailing and boats. Laurence is also a really soft and handsome name, it really balances out Thiago. Great combo!
Gabriel Heath - Heath is nms but it’s a great middle name. I love Gabriel. It gives me the same vibes as Thiago, Raphael, and even Cassian to some extent. Another great combo.

Elliot [name_m]Stan[/name_m]- I love [name_u]Elliot[/name_u], and I love the spelling you chose rather than [name_u]Elliott[/name_u]. [name_m]Stan[/name_m] is meh for me, but the flow of the combo is nice. I do prefer your [name_m]Eliyahu[/name_m] [name_u]Shai[/name_u]— [name_m]Eliyahu[/name_m] is underused and so handsome!
[name_m]Nathanial[/name_m] [name_u]Asher[/name_u]- [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] is a handsome, classic name and [name_u]Asher[/name_u] gives it freshness.
[name_m]Samuel[/name_m] [name_m]Ronan[/name_m]- [name_m]Ronan[/name_m] I adore. I had a [name_m]Ronan[/name_m] combo on my list for a long time. [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] is a solid choice.
[name_f]Estelle[/name_f] [name_f]Susanna[/name_f]- not the biggest fan of either name, but the flow if nice and the combo is pretty.
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f] [name_f]Ruth[/name_f]- I’m slowly coming around to [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] and I love the way it can be shortened to [name_f]Lila[/name_f]. [name_f]Ruth[/name_f] I dislike, but only because of a [name_f]Ruth[/name_f] I knew in the past. [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] [name_f]Ruth[/name_f] is a wonderful combo.
[name_f]Caroline[/name_f] [name_f]Aviva[/name_f]- I had this exact combo on my list for a while! I love [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]. I love [name_f]Aviva[/name_f]. They go perfectly together. [name_m]Five[/name_m] stars!
Henry [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m]- [name_m]Henry[/name_m] is a solid name, meh for me because it’s so common. [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] is a fantastic choice. Good sound, wonderful flow.
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Eliora[/name_f]- [name_f]Violet[/name_f], like [name_m]Henry[/name_m], I’ve heard a bit too much, but in spite of that I think it is a beautiful name. [name_f]Eliora[/name_f] is very pretty, and the flow of the name is good. I like this combo!
Noah [name_m]Marshall[/name_m]/Merritt- not a fan of [name_u]Merritt[/name_u] or Marhsall, but [name_u]Noah[/name_u] is a good choice, if a bit overused.
[name_u]Carter[/name_u]- just not my cup of tea.
[name_f]Elara[/name_f] [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u]- [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] is a boy name to be but [name_f]Elara[/name_f] is pretty and the flow is nice.
[name_f]Helen[/name_f]- just not really a fan.
Let me know if you’d also like me to do the Hebrew (I believe that it’s Hebrew? Apologies if I am wrong!) variations of your names! Overall your UC is lovely and I do enjoy the variations of your names— I have come across your user card before and thought it was very cool how you added those!
Ambrose [name_m]Lysander[/name_m] - I think both names are lovely, they’re a little too romantic (for lack of a better word) for me together but the flow is lovely and so is the imagery which is very flowery.
Cassius [name_u]Roan[/name_u] - [name_m]Cassius[/name_m], depending on the pronunciation, I either really like (see-uhs) or dislike (cash-uhs). [name_u]Roan[/name_u] works really nicely with it, makes it feel very knightly.
Frederick [name_u]Luca[/name_u] - I really like this one, both names are wonderful and the combo is lovely. It feels a little more modern (in the best way) than the two previous combos but at the same time is also very timeless. I get a very western European vibe from this combo (perhaps because both names are fairly popular in many countries here).
Harrison [name_m]Felix[/name_m] - compared to [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_u]Luca[/name_u], this has a very American vibe, however, they’d still make perfect brother names. [name_m]Harrison[/name_m] isn’t really for me (I’m not a huge fan of Har- names in general) but I don’t dislike it and it’s a perfectly fine name. I also like the [name_m]Harrison[/name_m] [name_m]Ford[/name_m] connection. [name_m]Felix[/name_m] is a wonderfully time- and ageless name.
Jedidiah [name_m]Gregor[/name_m] - I really like [name_m]Eddie[/name_m] and [name_m]Gregor[/name_m] is interesting, too. [name_m]Jedidiah[/name_m] is a bit too “Duggar Family”, and therefore super religious, for me.
Jupiter Lumo - I think this combo feels a little insubstantial as neither name feels very established. I do think it’s a vibe you can go for but it is very different to the rest of your names. Lumo is very sweet, though.
Robinson [name_m]Wayne[/name_m] - also feels very American (not a bad thing, just a vibe). It’s not my favourite, [name_m]Wayne[/name_m] makes it feel very cowboy-ish but [name_m]Robinson[/name_m] doesn’t really fit that vibe for me which is why imagery-wise they clash a little. However, the flow is nice and the nickname [name_m]Rocky[/name_m] is very sweet.
Sebastian [name_m]Romeo[/name_m] - [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] isn’t my favourite classic name and [name_m]Romeo[/name_m] is usually a bit too Shakespearean for me but I really like this combination, it feels very mature.
Theodore [name_m]John[/name_m] - While [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] is my favourite first name from your list, the combo feels a little lackluster next to the other ones on your list. I think an international variation of [name_m]John[/name_m] would be really lovely here, but if you love [name_m]John[/name_m] then [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]John[/name_m] is a perfectly nice combination of course.
Freya [name_f]Wilderose[/name_f] - this one is wonderful, it makes me think of an old Georgian manor set in a field of flowers
Layla [name_f]Cecily[/name_f] - this is lovely and flows really well. [name_f]Layla[/name_f], while not a personal favourite, is really sweet and [name_f]Cecily[/name_f] adds maturity to the combo, which I like.
Romilly [name_f]Jane[/name_f] - this is also really lovely, the classic [name_f]Jane[/name_f] makes [name_u]Romilly[/name_u] feel very grounded and established.

I’ve been wanting to rate your uc for so long, it’s so interesting!
Henry [name_m]Augustin[/name_m] [name_m]Basile[/name_m]- This is such a great combo. I like how a more traditional/wearable first is combined with two more bold middles. I prefer [name_u]Basil[/name_u] to [name_m]Basile[/name_m], but I don’t mind the spelling so much here. [name_m]Henry[/name_m] is also one of my absolute favorites, and the nicknames [name_u]Harry[/name_u] and [name_m]Hal[/name_m] are fun too.
Edgar [name_u]Lionel[/name_u] [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m]: I’m not obsessed with [name_m]Edgar[/name_m], though I do like [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] (not sure how you got that from [name_m]Edgar[/name_m], but I’m here for it!). [name_u]Lionel[/name_u] is another that seems strange in this combo, but I’m not sure why. [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m] is awesome though, and [name_m]Edgar[/name_m] and [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m] go well together.
Hugo [name_m]Nicanor[/name_m] [name_m]Edmund[/name_m]: This is cute! [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] is great, popular on NB but rare most everywhere else, but has that trendy -o ending that makes it feel familiar. I just had to look up [name_m]Nicanor[/name_m], since I’ve never heard it before, but it has some good origins and sounds really cool. [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] sounds a little strange with the complementary “o” sounds of the first two names, but I still like the combo overall.
Arthur [name_u]Vyvyan[/name_u] [name_m]Louis[/name_m]: I keep thinking you’re making up these middle names, but then they end up being cool and rare gems from centuries past! None of these names are really my style, and [name_u]Vyvyan[/name_u] is impossible to pronounce without looking it up, but the combo flows really well both to the ear and stylistically.
Flora [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f]: This is very vintage and sweet. [name_f]Flora[/name_f] is kind of up-and-coming lately on NB, and I like all the attention it’s getting for its simplicity and unique sound. [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] is a classic, and I do like this spelling. [name_f]Margot[/name_f] is another classic, and both of the middles make this name feel elegant and traditional.
Rose [name_f]Lavinia[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]: This is gorgeous. [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is simple, but elegant, and the middles just elevate it. [name_f]Lavinia[/name_f] is bold but not entirely unheard of, and while I’m not usually the biggest fan of heavy “v” sounds in names, it sounds great in this combo. [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] is up there for my favorite name of all time, and it is just so perfect in this spot.
Ottilie [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] [name_f]Clara[/name_f]: [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] is very pretty and underused, and the nickname [name_f]Dot[/name_f] is a great way to simplify it. [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] is not my favorite [name_f]Rose[/name_f]- variation, but I love how it sounds with [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f]. [name_f]Clara[/name_f] is beautiful, old-fashioned, and romantic, a perfect second middle in this combo.
Alice [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f]: [name_f]Alice[/name_f] is not exactly my style, but I feel it fits very well with yours, soft, vintage, and sweet. [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] is also in the same vein, but I adore its familiar but underused status more than that of [name_f]Alice[/name_f]. [name_f]Mary[/name_f] is plain, but not wrong in this combo; if there was any combo for [name_f]Mary[/name_f] to be present, it would be this one.
Oscar [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_f]Lillie[/name_f]: Unexpected but great combo. [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] and [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] are very handsome, and both fit in that traditional but still pretty underrated style that you have going. I’ve never heard [name_f]Lillie[/name_f] for a boy, but to my surprise here it’s quite perfect, softening the harsher sounds of the first two names.
Victor [name_u]Lionel[/name_u] [name_u]Auguste[/name_u]: This one is more of an “eh” for me. You use [name_u]Lionel[/name_u] and [name_u]Auguste[/name_u] in other combos on your UC, and I like them better in those combos. [name_m]Victor[/name_m] is kind of a departure from your other names, not in a bad way, but also not great with either of these middles.
Henry [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_u]Auguste[/name_u]: How cute! We’ve already been over how I love [name_m]Henry[/name_m], and I love it so much with [name_m]Fredrick[/name_m] and [name_u]Auguste[/name_u] (probably better than [name_m]Augustin[/name_m] [name_m]Basile[/name_m], I think). This is a very handsome and wearable name, and a good way of combining the familiar with the more unusual.
Violet [name_f]Cecelia[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f]: This is pretty! [name_f]Violet[/name_f] is so classic and sweet, and it sounds romantic with [name_f]Cecelia[/name_f]. I like [name_f]Mary[/name_f] here more than where you used it before, because [name_f]Mary[/name_f] is the appropriate “decrescendo,” if you will, to the “crescendo” of [name_f]Cecelia[/name_f].
Mabel [name_f]Augusta[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f]: [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] is not my style at all, but I do like this combo a lot. I almost never hear [name_f]Augusta[/name_f], but it’s absolutely beautiful, and [name_f]Lily[/name_f] is another classic to tie the combo away nicely.
Ada [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f]: I love all of these names in theory, but not the sound of the combo together. All of the names have almost the exact same sounds, and so there’s nothing really to break up the monotony. Maybe [name_f]Ada[/name_f] with differing-sounding names like [name_f]Violet[/name_f] or [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] would be better?
Edmund [name_f]Blythe[/name_f]: I adore this combo. It sounds like the protagonist of a 19th century romance, and yet the names are traditional enough to be wearable today. Both [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] and [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] have that stylistic soft sound, but the actual vowel sounds when you say them aloud differ just enough to make the combo work.
Orla [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]: This is super cute! [name_f]Orla[/name_f] is bold, but has enough roots to feel vintage-in-need-of-revival, and [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] is one of my favorites. I love the short-long pairing here as well, the names go perfectly together.

Your UC is fantastic!
Sunday [name_u]Lane[/name_u]- Now, I used to dislike days-of-the-week name (I even put that in Hot Takes once) but I’m coming around to them and this combo is so adorable! [name_u]Lane[/name_u] is a great choice for a middle.
Astra [name_f]Violet[/name_f]- Simply beautiful. I like [name_f]Astra[/name_f] a lot and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] complements it perfectly. All in all a wonderful combo!
Mercedes [name_f]Daphne[/name_f]- I love the name [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] and [name_f]Mercedes[/name_f] is bold, interesting, and gives the combo a very pleasing rhythm.
Astrid [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]- [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] is a lovely and underused name. [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] is beautiful and fits well with [name_f]Astrid[/name_f]. I really have no other notes. [name_m]Five[/name_m]-star combo!
Charlotte [name_f]Sophie[/name_f]- [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], not a fan of [name_f]Sophie[/name_f]. I think I’ve just known too many Sophies.
Florence [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]- [name_f]Florence[/name_f] as a name is meh for me. [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] I like, though I prefer [name_u]Ivory[/name_u] nn [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]. The combo has a good rhythm, however.
Daisy [name_f]Stella[/name_f]- [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] is very sweet. [name_f]Stella[/name_f] is one of those names I can’t really tell what I think about it? I don’t know.
Elio [name_m]William[/name_m]- a solid combo. [name_m]Elio[/name_m] is dashing; [name_m]William[/name_m] is handsome. Something about the transition between first and middle is somewhat difficult to say, though?
Raphael [name_m]Henry[/name_m]- I adore [name_m]Raphael[/name_m]! [name_f]Lovely[/name_f] name. [name_m]Henry[/name_m] I can take or leave, but the combo is nice.

Thiago [name_u]Laurence[/name_u]- [name_m]Thiago[/name_m] is interesting— I’ve never seen it before. [name_u]Laurence[/name_u], meanwhile I adore. Another fantastic combo!
Gabriel [name_m]Heath[/name_m]- [name_u]Gabriel[/name_u] is strong and handsome; [name_m]Heath[/name_m] is underused and brilliant. Both names were on my list. 10/10, very handsome combo.

[name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_u]Luca[/name_u] - It’s a wonderful combination of two lovely names. [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] is a smart and timeless name, and [name_u]Luca[/name_u] is such a sweet mn.

[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] - [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] is a long love of mine that I keep coming back to but that just won’t stay; if I end up using it, it would probably end up being a middle name (and perhaps spelled [name_f]Ofelia[/name_f], though I find [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] to me more aesthetically pleasing, as a nod to my Spanish family as well as for the [name_m]Pan[/name_m]'s Labyrinth connection) but it is a gorgeous name and none of the “Hot Takes” have yet to put me off it. I’m not [name_m]Shakespeare[/name_m]'s biggest fan but I do like the literary connection, especially as [name_m]Shakespeare[/name_m]'s [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] has also inspired many other works.
[name_m]Vance[/name_m] - [name_m]Vance[/name_m] is friendly and sweet, neither too grown up nor too young. I find the name to be very versatile, I can easily imagine a surfer or skater being [name_m]Vance[/name_m] but I can also imagine a more “dark academia” [name_m]Vance[/name_m] or a country side boy called [name_m]Vance[/name_m]. The singer [name_m]Vance[/name_m] [name_f]Joy[/name_f] is also a great association for me and immediately makes me like the name more.
loose names:
[name_u]Sailor[/name_u], [name_f]Poem[/name_f] & [name_m]Toulouse[/name_m] - I’m not such a huge fan of these, they strike me as very American, which is not a bad thing, but not really my vibe when it comes to names. [name_m]Toulouse[/name_m] especially doesn’t really feel like a name to me but perhaps I’m too close to the actual city to get the name (other place names I don’t mind so much as they tend to be pronounced differently in [name_f]English[/name_f] than in their native languages, [name_u]Paris[/name_u] for example, but as [name_m]Toulouse[/name_m] stays the same it just feels off to me).
[name_f]Poem[/name_f] is one of the many “storybook” names that I simply can’t get behind, perhaps because I currently study literature at uni and use these terms so much that they could never feel like names? Besides that the sound is not super appealing to me either (I like the crisper [name_u]Poet[/name_u] a little more, perhaps because the -et ending is quite popular at the moment?!); I do think it could make a lovely middle name though.
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] ~ I’ve never quite warmed up to the name, I think it sounds lovely, very crisp but warm at the same time, [name_f]Immy[/name_f] is also an adorable nickname option, but the looks of [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] doesn’t appeal to me, it feels very harsh for some reason. So, while I would not use it myself, it still is a beautiful choice for everyone else!
[name_f]Margot[/name_f] ~ I love this name! It combines almost all the things I look for in a name, it’s feminine but not overly frilly, it sounds timeless, sophisticated and intelligent, feels mature but works beautifully for a young child, has nickname options, works in many languages ([name_f]Margo[/name_f] works better for this pronunciation but I don’t like it quite as much), and if I had to change my own name, [name_f]Margot[/name_f] would be a likely contender. It’s a middle name on my own list (mainly because of the -t ending) but it truly is a perfect name.
[name_u]Joan[/name_u] - I much prefer [name_u]Jean[/name_u] but I can also appreciate the mid-century vibe of [name_u]Joan[/name_u]. What puts me off it a little is that [name_u]Joan[/name_u] reminds me of moan, which just makes me think of someone complaining all the time. However, I do think it’s a perfectly fine and usable name.
[name_f]Delyth[/name_f] - I’m not sure how to feel a bout [name_f]Delyth[/name_f], I like the sound (if I pronounce it correctly, that is) but the spelling puts me off a little (it’s the yth).
Isaac - I’m very neutral on Isaac, it’s a little too biblical for me but it’s not a bad name at all. I think a good middle name could make me like it more than I do on its own whereas a boring one could make me dislike it more.
Thatcher ~ is too closely associated with Margaret Thatcher for me but also doesn’t really appeal to me in sound, Thatcher and Fletcher have always sounded very harsh to me.
Fox ~ I like the sound but having been on NB for years it has lost all its charm for me, especially as a middle name. I think the only way I can still appreciate Fox is if it’s used as a nickname (Felix, Frederick, etc.)
Atticus ~ a bit like Fox for me, however, I can appreciate it a little more due to the connection to “To Kill a Mockingbird”.
Priam ~ I am not familiar with the name, it doesn’t appeal to me super much but it could be intriguing in the right combo
Valentine - while I wouldn’t personally use Valentine, I think it’s a lovely name and works especially well as a middle name making any combo feel very romantic
Napoleon - a bit too much for me especially as Napoleon wasn’t really a great person
Vance Peter ~ I love this one, Peter works beautifully with Vance and makes it feel so mature and established. It just complements it so well!
Jack Bullard (honor middle) ~ I don’t love Bullard with Jack, I think most of your other combos feel a lot more gentle while these two together feel rather harsh; I think I’d prefer something a little softer in sound to balance the Bull- part out a little
Twain William ~ hm, I don’t know how to feel about this as my brain wants to make it William Twain, being so used to Twain as a last name. Flow-wise the combo is lovely though and actually don’t mind Twain as a first name (though the more I say it the more it sound like a nickname for some reason).
Simon Finch ~ this one is gorgeous! Truly wonderful both in sound and imagery. It also feels like the perfect brother name for Vance Peter, ugh, they’re both so handsome!
Caspian Rhys ~ is a beautiful combo! It feels very NB ca. 2016 to me but in the best way. Especially the look of these names together appeals to me.
Samuel Callahan ~ sounds really nice! I’m quite neutral on both names so while this isn’t my favourite of yours, it’s a very solid combo!
Ferdinand Louis ~ love this one, it feels very regal and grand, as if belonging to a German archduke or prince
Milo Teague ~ not usually a fan of Teague but I think it’s quite lovely here, definitely brings out the fun and modern side of Milo
Rhidian James ~ I think look-wise I would prefer Rhydian to Rhidian with James but either way I really like the sound of the more energetic Rhidian with mellow James
Roger Clyde - feels very retro, which is great if that’s what you’re going for but doesn’t quite seem to fit with the rest of your names
Ophelia Daisy ~ very pretty! Daisy isn’t usually a favourite but I think it makes Ophelia very approachable and less grand (in a good way). The combo also flows very nicely!
Evangeline Fay ~ I think it’s a beautiful combo just not for me at all, however, that is really just me not liking the individual names and has nothing to do with the usability or flow, sound or anything else - again, perfectly usable and objectively beautiful combo
Maeve Boudicca ~ Boudicca intrigues me, Maeve isn’t usually for me but I really like the way these names work together, one a little softer and familiar, the other very bold and interesting
Elodie Maren ~ basically the same as Evangeline Fay for me, a beautiful combo but the individual names aren’t my style. Elodie, while very popular on NB, just reminds me of my french class in secondary school while Maren is rather feels slightly dated for me (but I also know 3 in their 20s so that’s why). I do think the names are beautiful together, though!
Persephone Rain ~ I don’t love these names together, somehow they just give off very different vibes that don’t really go together in my head. I do think Persephone is very interesting, though, especially in the real world.-
Jane Harvest ~ this feels very countryside to me. Very Missouri or Oklahoma. I think a slightly less familiar or sharper name than Jane would make Harvest feel a little more boho instead.
Josephine Scout ~ I really like this one! Scout’s playfulness works beautifully with Josephine and makes for a wonderfully timeless combo.
Beatrix Marsha ~ While Marsha isn’t for me, I think it works nicely with Beatrix, they sound very mature together! Beatrix and her nicknames are lovely, playful but grown-up at the same time.
Eileen Fifer ~ Fifer is cool, Eilieen always makes me want to start singing; it does feel a little bit dated but that’s only a problem when you make it one
Enola Ruth (honor middle) - Enola is nice, at the moment a little too attached to books/movie but I can imagine there being quite a few children with this name if there are more movies. Ruth works nicely with it!

Henry [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_u]Basil[/name_u]: I feel like I can’t escape the name [name_m]Henry[/name_m]- I see it everywhere these days on old and young people, I like the flow of the combo as well as the look of it
[name_m]Edgar[/name_m] [name_u]Lionel[/name_u] [name_u]Auguste[/name_u] - [name_u]Teddy[/name_u]: I’m not big on [name_m]Edgar[/name_m] but it’s nice for you, I will say I think this name only flows if you pronounce [name_u]Lionel[/name_u] with three syllables-otherwise it falls a little flat for me
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m] [name_m]Nicanor[/name_m] [name_m]Edmund[/name_m]: I like [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] [name_m]Nicanor[/name_m] quite a lot-it sounds both handsome and unique, for some reason I’m not love [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] here but maybe would with a last name attached
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m] [name_u]Vyvyan[/name_u] [name_m]Louis[/name_m]: [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] is what I would probably call dashing if I were [name_f]English[/name_f], I could see [name_m]Edgar[/name_m] nn [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] and [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] nn [name_m]Artie[/name_m] as brothers, I really don’t care for the [name_u]Vyvyan[/name_u] spelling but [name_m]Louis[/name_m] is nice
Flora [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f]: this combo flows really well and again I like the look of it as well, the S really softens [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] somehow
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Lavinia[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]: this combo sounds great!, if feels unique but none of the names are too obscure, a great balance of familiar but uncommon
[name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] [name_f]Clara[/name_f] - [name_f]Dot[/name_f]: something about fn is not for me, I also find [name_f]Dot[/name_f] a bit unconventional but it seems to go with [name_m]Edgar[/name_m] nn [name_u]Teddy[/name_u], the flow is a little strange to me (both Os in the combo make the same sound to me so it’s a bit repetitive)
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f]: I really enjoy [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] and [name_f]Mary[/name_f] is somewhat refreshing to see, [name_f]Alice[/name_f] feels a little overplayed in my opinion but fits with your style of name overall
Oscar [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_f]Lillie[/name_f]: this is such an intriguing combo, I love the meaning of [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] and it looks so right in this combo
[name_m]Victor[/name_m] [name_u]Lionel[/name_u] [name_u]Auguste[/name_u]: ooh- actually much prefer this to the one with [name_m]Edgar[/name_m], could definitely see brothers [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] and [name_m]Victor[/name_m]
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_u]Auguste[/name_u]: I prefer your [name_u]Basil[/name_u] combo-[name_u]Auguste[/name_u] looks too long here (unless you have a short surname like [name_f]Liu[/name_f] or something to balance it out)
Violet [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f]: I love [name_f]Violet[/name_f] and I think [name_f]Cecelia[/name_f] has such a fun flow to it, without a last name attached I want to say [name_f]May[/name_f]/Mae sounds better but having tried saying the combo with some random last names I do like MAry in the third name spot
[name_f]Mabel[/name_f] [name_f]Augusta[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f]: [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] is so sweet to me, [name_f]Augusta[/name_f] is more tough and proper, and [name_f]Lily[/name_f] is the perfect combination of the two, a nicely matched combo
[name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f]: I like the look of this combo better than the flow, I find the D sounds kind of overpower each other-[name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalyn[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] would be my suggestion to avoid this
Edmund [name_f]Blythe[/name_f]: I like [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] and prefer it to [name_m]Edgar[/name_m] personally, unfortunately [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] reminds me of the word blight which ruins it for me but I do like it for a boy
[name_f]Orla[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]: this combo doesn’t feel like it fits with the rest of your combos really but it’s so fantastic-I love it- this is a match made in heaven/again hitting on the familiar but uncommon aspect for me
Henry [name_m]Odilon[/name_m]: I much prefer your first [name_m]Henry[/name_m] combo though I generally favor one middle combos overall…something about [name_m]Odilon[/name_m] is just off putting to me whereas [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_u]Basil[/name_u] feels right
Beatrix [name_u]Delaney[/name_u]: I have been really liking the name [name_u]Delaney[/name_u] lately. It is one of those names that I used to dislike, but have changed my mind about. [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] is very pretty!
[name_f]Calista[/name_f] [name_u]Pax[/name_u]: I really like both names and the flow!
[name_f]Cassia[/name_f] [name_f]Mirabel[/name_f]: [name_f]Mirabel[/name_f] is so underrated and lovely!! I also love [name_f]Cassia[/name_f]!
[name_u]Simone[/name_u] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]: [name_u]Simone[/name_u] is another underrated classic! [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] is nms.
[name_f]Thora[/name_f] [name_f]Luciana[/name_f]: [name_f]Thora[/name_f] is beautiful! [name_u]Love[/name_u] this name!
[name_f]Zoe[/name_f] [name_f]Carmina[/name_f]: [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] is really an amazing name!! [name_f]Carmina[/name_f] is great as well.
Austin [name_m]Amias[/name_m]: I like both names, but the flow seems somewhat off. Still, a lovely name!
[name_m]Isaac[/name_m] [name_u]Francis[/name_u]: [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] is a lovely name and [name_u]Francis[/name_u] is a nice classic
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m] [name_m]Giovanni[/name_m]: [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_m]Oscar[/name_m]!!
[name_m]Reuben[/name_m] [name_m]Xavier[/name_m]: I love this name so much!! The flow is perfect and [name_m]Rueben[/name_m] is also one of my favorite names.
[name_u]Theo[/name_u] [name_m]Macsen[/name_m]: [name_u]Theo[/name_u] is one of my favorite names ever!! [name_m]Macsen[/name_m] is nms.
[name_m]Zachary[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]: [name_f]Lovely[/name_f] and classic. [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] is lovely, I like [name_m]Zachary[/name_m] less but it is a solid name.
I love the meaning of all of the names!!
I love your style!
Oliver [name_u]Finn[/name_u]- five stars! [name_u]Finn[/name_u] is a percent name and [name_u]Oliver[/name_u] is so charming. The flow is fantastic.
Theodore [name_m]John[/name_m]- I love this one! I have this exact combo as my number one boy name, realistically!
Noah [name_m]Daniel[/name_m]- both good, solid names, neither my favorite. The flow is nice.
Bennet [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]- [name_m]Bennet[/name_m] is very cute. [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], again, is 10/10 for me.
Silas [name_u]Oliver[/name_u]- I love [name_m]Silas[/name_m]! It’s so underused. I think it goes well with [name_u]Oliver[/name_u].
Owen [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]- [name_u]Owen[/name_u] is a lovely name! It sounds so dashing and bright. [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] goes very well with it.
Tobias [name_m]John[/name_m]- I love [name_m]Tobias[/name_m] as well! [name_m]John[/name_m] is a good middle for just about any name, but I think [name_m]Tobias[/name_m] [name_m]John[/name_m] has a nice rhythm.
Evelina [name_f]Claire[/name_f]- I like [name_f]Claire[/name_f]! [name_f]Evelina[/name_f] I’m less sure about— perhaps [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]?
Willow [name_f]May[/name_f]- I like [name_u]Willow[/name_u] but I prefer it as a middle. [name_f]May[/name_f] is a solid choice.
Rowan [name_f]Claire[/name_f]- [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] is a great choice and so underused on girls! [name_f]Claire[/name_f], again, is a solid middle.
Isla [name_f]May[/name_f]- not really a fan of [name_f]Isla[/name_f], sorry! [name_f]May[/name_f] is a good choice.
Emilia [name_f]Claire[/name_f]- I don’t really like [name_f]Emilia[/name_f], though I prefer it to [name_f]Emily[/name_f].
Amalia [name_f]Rose[/name_f]- a very pretty combo! [name_f]Amalia[/name_f] is a beautiful name and [name_f]Rose[/name_f] complements it.
Faye [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f]- I would do [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] [name_f]Faye[/name_f], because I do prefer [name_f]Faye[/name_f] as a middle, but it is a nice-sounding name with a good flow.
Josephine [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]- it’s a pretty name, but lacks the “wow” factor for me.
Seraphina [name_u]Willow[/name_u]- wow! [name_m]Five[/name_m] stars! [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] is a beautiful name and I previously mentioned that I prefer [name_u]Willow[/name_u] in the middle spot, so this combo is perfect!
Freya [name_f]Daphne[/name_f]- I love both of these names and I think they go very well together.
Freya [name_f]Abigail[/name_f]- the “a” on the end of [name_f]Freya[/name_f] makes me hesitate because [name_f]Abigail[/name_f] also beings with an “a,” otherwise a good name.
Esme [name_f]Patricia[/name_f]- just not really a fan of either name.
Marina [name_f]Faith[/name_f]- I like [name_f]Marina[/name_f] but not [name_f]Faith[/name_f]. However, the name has a wonderful flow!
Felicity [name_f]Claire[/name_f]- [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] is a fantastic name! I love this combo.
Clara [name_u]Willow[/name_u]- I like both names but I’m not sure about the flow.
