@EJpuddlejumper!
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_u]Poet[/name_u]- ten out of ten! This name sounds so whimsical and dreamy- I can just picture her in a picturesque meadow with a perfect blue sky dotted with puffs of clouds, surrounded by flowers (Marigolds, perhaps? ).
[name_f]Aurelie[/name_f] [name_f]Sabre[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]- I am in love with [name_f]Aurelie[/name_f], but the name [name_f]Sabre[/name_f] always reminds me of two things: The company that took over Dunder Mifflin (the office, anyone?), and the hummus brand [name_f]Sabra[/name_f]. It also sounds kinda like Sober. And [name_f]Grace[/name_f] to me is one of those middle names that sounds good with everything, which makes it less… special, but still, like I said, sounds good. I like the overall sound of this name, though.
[name_f]Estelle[/name_f] [name_f]Alondra[/name_f] Song ([name_f]Essie[/name_f])- Hmm… I like [name_f]Estelle[/name_f], don’t particularly like [name_f]Alondra[/name_f], like Song, and hate the nickname [name_f]Essie[/name_f]. It just sounds so juvenile and yes, the girl could stop going by this nickname when she got older, but I still don’t like it. I mean, it’s one thing if the parents call the kid that every once in a while, but I can’t even picture the girl’s friends calling her that. But anyway… [name_m]Even[/name_m] though I don’t like [name_f]Alondra[/name_f] on its own, [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] [name_f]Alondra[/name_f] Song is pretty. What about [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] [name_f]Aurelie[/name_f] Song (if you’re pronouncing it uh-RAY-lee, if not it would sound kind of odd) or [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] [name_f]Alouette[/name_f] Song or [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] Song or Es?
[name_f]Ebony[/name_f] [name_f]Solange[/name_f] [name_u]Rain[/name_u]- This is ANOTHER one where I really like two but don’t really like one- I am in love with [name_f]Solange[/name_f] and [name_u]Rain[/name_u] (I’m actually writing a book with [name_f]Solange[/name_f] as one of the main characters) but [name_f]Ebony[/name_f] is not my favorite. What about: Eliara [name_f]Solange[/name_f] [name_u]Rain[/name_u]; [name_u]Ellery[/name_u] [name_f]Solange[/name_f] [name_u]Rain[/name_u]; [name_f]Bryony[/name_f] [name_f]Solange[/name_f] [name_u]Rain[/name_u]; or [name_u]Ember[/name_u] [name_f]Solange[/name_f] [name_u]Rain[/name_u]?
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Avalon[/name_f] [name_u]Ash[/name_u]- Ooh, I really like all of these names. I think that it would flow a little better if it were [name_f]Lucille[/name_f] [name_f]Avalon[/name_f] [name_u]Ash[/name_u] just because it’s kind of rough going from one vowel sound to another between words, and she could be called [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]. But I can picture a really smart, capable girl with this name!
[name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] Sunflower [name_f]Joy[/name_f] “[name_f]Mae[/name_f]”- I like everything but the nickname. [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] Sunflower [name_f]Joy[/name_f] is suuuuuuuper pretty, but I’m not a huge fan of the suddenly popular mininames like [name_f]Mae[/name_f]. [name_f]My[/name_f] faaavvvvoooorrriiiittteee nickname ever is for [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f], and it’s Meddy. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you like that?
[name_u]Peregrine[/name_u] [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Clover[/name_f] “[name_u]Penny[/name_u]”- I love the nickname [name_u]Penny[/name_u]! I really like this entire name. [name_u]Peregrine[/name_u] sounds harsh, but [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] is so sweet and musical, and [name_f]Clover[/name_f] is just a fun name.
[name_f]Sybil[/name_f] [name_u]Endellion[/name_u] [name_u]Hero[/name_u]- This is probably my least favorite of all your girl’s names. [name_f]Sybil[/name_f] to me just sounds kind of like a granny name, and [name_u]Hero[/name_u] is just… too much for me. [name_u]Endellion[/name_u] has a nice sound to it, though. And I actually do like the sound of the name [name_f]Sybil[/name_f], it’s just so old-fashioned and dusty to me.
Avan [name_m]Sylvester[/name_m] [name_u]Cove[/name_u]- Oooooh, I’ve never thought of the name Avan. [name_m]Sylvester[/name_m] sounds kind of like that old science teacher that everyone hates to me, but [name_u]Cove[/name_u] is soooo nice.
[name_u]Auburn[/name_u] [name_u]Novel[/name_u] “[name_u]Aubrey[/name_u]”- To me, [name_u]Aubrey[/name_u] is always and irrefutably female. But [name_u]Auburn[/name_u] [name_u]Novel[/name_u], just called [name_u]Auburn[/name_u], not [name_u]Aubrey[/name_u], is really great!!!
[name_m]Fabian[/name_m] [name_m]Emrys[/name_m] [name_u]Legend[/name_u] “[name_u]Fable[/name_u]”- I love how the nickname ties in to both [name_m]Fabian[/name_m] and [name_u]Legend[/name_u]! This sounds so old-[name_f]England[/name_f], almost Arthurian to me!
[name_u]Kit[/name_u] [name_u]Augustine[/name_u] [name_u]Robin[/name_u]- I really like this! It sounds so intellectual but still light.
[name_u]Laurence[/name_u] [name_u]Bellamy[/name_u] Rook “[name_u]Laurie[/name_u]”- Two of those names are actually on my girl’s list (although Rook is spelled with an e)! But I like it a lot, especially the nickname [name_u]Laurie[/name_u], like in little Women! It, too, sounds really intelligent.
[name_u]Percy[/name_u] [name_m]Leander[/name_m] [name_u]Gray[/name_u]- your boy’s names are really on point! I’m getting a distinct old-[name_f]England[/name_f]/intellectual feel from pretty much all of them. This is great!
[name_u]Raven[/name_u] [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] [name_u]Night[/name_u]- ooh, I’ve never thought of using [name_u]Night[/name_u] as a name. It sounds so dark, between [name_u]Raven[/name_u] and [name_u]Night[/name_u], and [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] is a dark-sounding name to me in general. I love it!
[name_m]Varian[/name_m] [name_u]Dexter[/name_u] [name_u]Frost[/name_u]- hmmmm… [name_m]Varian[/name_m] is okay, but I hate the name [name_u]Dexter[/name_u]. It could be the connotations- I used to know someone named that who I strongly disliked. And [name_u]Frost[/name_u]- I don’t really like it as a name.
Sorry I had a lot more to say about your girl’s names than your boys!
