[name_f]Trina[/name_f] [name_u]Louise[/name_u]: [name_f]Trina[/name_f] sounds like a nickname because I knew someone called this, but her full name was [name_f]Katrina[/name_f]. Still, the sound reminds me of small, tinkling bells, so I’m a fan! [name_u]Louise[/name_u] is an expected, but so perfectly rhythmic middle! 7/10
[name_f]Judy[/name_f] [name_f]Abigail[/name_f]: I love [name_f]Judy[/name_f] [name_u]Garland[/name_u], but [name_f]Judy[/name_f] is just not romantic enough for me. While it’s clunky cute and sweet as can be, after I think of Ms. [name_u]Garland[/name_u], I think of “Judy Doody,” unfortunately. [name_f]Abigail[/name_f] is a nice middle name, but I’m not wild about either. 5.5/10
[name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]: I don’t like [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] and [name_f]Kate[/name_f] should be a nickname for [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] in my (increasingly unpopular) opinion. 5.5/10
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]: I really like [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]! Not wild about [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f], though. Despite its windswept, dramatism, it conjures up awkward, lumpy corduroy. It’s not lush to me, it’s rather rough. 5.5/10
[name_f]Sonia[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]: Sonia’s a fresh name nowadays, but lacks vitality. [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] always confuses me because it sounds like “No L” in my head, which I know is ridiculous. I remember being in love with [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] as a kid, so maybe I’ve just overanalyzed it. 5/10
[name_f]Rachel[/name_f] [name_f]Vittoria[/name_f]: I really like [name_f]Rachel[/name_f]! I always have. It sounds smart and feminine without being too frilly. But the nn “Rach” can be gnarly. Since I’m English-speaking, I am admitting my bias in disliking [name_f]Vittoria[/name_f] and preferring [name_f]Victoria[/name_f]. 6/10
[name_f]Colette[/name_f] [name_u]Allison[/name_u]: Ooh, tres charmant! [name_f]Colette[/name_f] is such a sophisticated name, I love it! Be warned that it’s outdated in French-speaking countries, but it may come back around. Still, it’s a keeper. I really like [name_u]Allison[/name_u] too. It’s unexpected as middle. 9/10
[name_f]Marlena[/name_f] [name_f]Janette[/name_f]: Again, really like [name_f]Marlene[/name_f] (pronounced like Marlena) [name_m]Dietrich[/name_m] is who first comes to mind. [name_f]Janette[/name_f] matches stylistically too, though it’s not a name I’m wild about generally. Classy, sultry combo. 8/10
[name_u]Jordan[/name_u] [name_f]Vienna[/name_f]: Lacks feminine flair and Vienna’s too sausagey to me, but the flow’s nice. 5.5/10
[name_f]Carmella[/name_f] [name_f]Joelle[/name_f]: Nice flow again and Carmella’s not overused, yet known, so you’ve struck gold! Unfortunately, [name_f]Carmella[/name_f] sounds like a story’s antagonist to me. Joelle’s lovely as a middle name. 6/10
[name_f]Cosetta[/name_f] [name_f]Juliette[/name_f]: Prefer [name_f]Cosette[/name_f] generally (not in this combo), but I like the flow. 5.5/10
[name_f]Jennifer[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f]: Jennifer’s outdated, but pretty. The “fur” sound on the end dissuades me from totally loving it. [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] is nice. 5.5/10
[name_f]Maisie[/name_f] [name_u]Brooke[/name_u]: [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] is a dizzying name to me and I’ve never been fond of [name_u]Brooke[/name_u]. 5.5/10
[name_f]Bianca[/name_f] [name_u]Florence[/name_u]: I really, really like [name_f]Bianca[/name_f] nn [name_f]Bea[/name_f]. So rich and fun to say! [name_f]Lovely[/name_f] flow here as well. 9/10
Mary-Jane [name_f]Blanca[/name_f]: Interesting pairing, but Mary-Jane makes me think of marijuana and [name_f]Blanca[/name_f] is not as pretty as [name_f]Bianca[/name_f] to me. 5.5/10
[name_m]Anders[/name_m] [name_u]Carlisle[/name_u]: Sophisticated. Not my style, but I appreciate it from afar. 6/10
[name_m]Jason[/name_m] [name_m]Reno[/name_m]: Jason’s good, but [name_m]Reno[/name_m] makes me think of [name_m]Reno[/name_m], [name_u]Nevada[/name_u], which gives the name a somewhat seedy casino owner vibe. 5.5/10
[name_m]Martin[/name_m] [name_u]Jay[/name_u]: Not a fan of either name. 5.5/10
[name_u]Emmett[/name_u] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u]: Not a fan of [name_u]Emmett[/name_u], but Valentine’s a cool middle name. 5.5/10
[name_u]Clyde[/name_u] [name_m]Zachary[/name_m]: Ooh, fun! I like this one a lot. 7/10
[name_u]Joseph[/name_u] [name_u]Morgan[/name_u]: It reminds me of JP [name_u]Morgan[/name_u], but it’s a solid, classic combo. 7/10
[name_m]Raphael[/name_m] [name_m]Solomon[/name_m]: I love the nn “Rafa” and I’m a fan of [name_m]Solomon[/name_m], so win-win! 8/10
[name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] [name_u]William[/name_u]: Solid classic, but ever since I read that [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] could be misheard as “knickerless” I took it off my list. I will admit here that I’m definitely overanalyzing. 6/10
