Reusing a vintage family name?

Girl Names
1

Hey everyone! Not a mom yet, but I’ve been thinking lately about how much I love some of my family names in their entirety and I might not break them up at all. Are there any you would prefer to mismatch? Which are your faves?

Ophelia Mae
Ruby Nell
Hettie Elizabeth
Lula Rochester

I love [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] Nell! Too cute. I think I’d prefer [name_f]Mae[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] to [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] Mae.

[name_u]Ruby[/name_u] [name_f]Nell[/name_f] is adorable! I also love [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] and [name_f]Hettie[/name_f] Elizabeth, though I think if you wanted to mismatch any of them [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] and [name_f]Hettie[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] would work really well.

Also, just a side note [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] [name_f]Nell[/name_f] and [name_f]Hettie[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] would be the cutest sister set, in my opinion :heart_eyes: :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I love Ophelia! [name_f]Lula[/name_f] is so sweet and unexpected too. :blush:

I love [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] [name_f]Nell[/name_f] exactly as is! I really like [name_f]Hettie[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] too. I adore Mae, but prefer it as a first name, and I don’t love Ophelia. [name_f]Mae[/name_f] Ruby? I also love Lula, but not so much Rochester. [name_f]Lula[/name_f] Nell?

I literally love this soooooooooo much-

Such lovely names!

I absolutely adore [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] [name_f]Nell[/name_f] & [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] Mae.

I think I prefer [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Hettie[/name_f] and I think [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Lula[/name_f] would be sweet.

I love [name_f]Hettie[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] and [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] Nell!
[name_f]Hettie[/name_f] is my fav of the firsts, [name_f]Hettie[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] could be cute!

They’re all lovely! I especially like [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] Nell, so sweet.

I think [name_f]Lula[/name_f] [name_m]Rochester[/name_m] is awesome! Such a cool and unexpected combo :star_struck:

Ooh, what a great batch of family names!!
They are great as they are but I see some mix and match opportunities too, e.g.
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] [name_f]Nell[/name_f] and [name_f]Hettie[/name_f] Mae.

I love [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] as a first name, so [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] is my favorite. I also really love [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] [name_f]Nell[/name_f] (I’m a huge [name_f]Nell[/name_f] fan) and [name_f]Lula[/name_f] Rochester. If I were to mismatch, I really like:

[name_u]Ruby[/name_u] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Lula[/name_f] [name_f]Nella[/name_f]

13

[name_u]Ruby[/name_u] [name_f]Nell[/name_f] is so cute and [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] is lovely too

14

I like [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] Mae! That flows nicely. [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] [name_f]Nell[/name_f] is my second favorite.

I’m not a big fan of [name_f]Hettie[/name_f] Elizabeth. It just feels like a weird combination to me. I’d do [name_f]Hettie[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] or [name_f]Hettie[/name_f] [name_f]Nell[/name_f] instead.
