WDYT of my revised top 10 list? Looking at the previous one, I agree that some of the combos weren’t the greatest…
GIRLS:
[name]Skye[/name] [name]Clarissa[/name] - I [name]LOVE[/name] the name [name]Skye[/name], so I’m not budging.
[name]Verity[/name] [name]Maeve[/name] - Too trendy??
[name]Vesper[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name] - [name]Love[/name] [name]Vesper[/name], but I figured I needed something traditional for a middle.
[name]Rosalind[/name] [name]Adelaide[/name] - Too many D’s?
[name]Emma[/name] [name]Bronte[/name] - Previous was [name]Emma[/name] [name]Rose[/name]. I agree there are probably gazillions of [name]Emma[/name] [name]Rose[/name]'s in the world.
[name]Avril[/name] [name]Camille[/name] - Also not budging on [name]Avril[/name]. Open to middle name suggestions.
[name]Margo[/name] [name]Cecilia[/name] - Idk I’ve always liked both of these so I put them together. Would [name]Margo[/name] [name]Cecily[/name] work?
[name]Rowan[/name] [name]Joy[/name] - Too wordy??
[name]Adeline[/name] [name]Rene[/name] - [name]Rene[/name] is my middle name, and I thought [name]Adeline[/name] (sounds like [name]Adelaide[/name] but oh well) was fresher than [name]Madeline[/name].
[name]Juliet[/name] [name]Audrey[/name] - I find this so romantic, but idk why.
BOYS:
[name]Emmett[/name] [name]Jace[/name] - Trendy, yes. [name]Do[/name] I care? Well… maybe
[name]North[/name] [name]Declan[/name] [name]John[/name] - too many middles?
[name]Jameson[/name] [name]Silas[/name] - [name]James[/name] is very popular so I thought I’d use the less popular [name]Jameson[/name].
[name]Matias[/name] [name]Job[/name] - feels very tough and masculine to me. I wouldn’t want to mess with a [name]Matias[/name] [name]Job[/name].
[name]Atticus[/name] [name]Lochlan[/name] - [name]Love[/name] [name]Atticus[/name] but not sure about the middle
[name]Draco[/name] [name]Lucian[/name] - see [name]Matias[/name]
Candor [name]Elijah[/name] - Candor is underused and I love [name]Elijah[/name] and yeah
[name]Felix[/name] [name]Joel[/name] - I just like it, no particular reason
[name]River[/name] [name]Thomas[/name] - To odd?
[name]Jasper[/name] [name]Tobias[/name] - Literature combo. yay
[name]Skye[/name] [name]Clarissa[/name] - Personally, I’m not a fan of [name]Skye[/name], but if you love it then that’s great. [name]Clarissa[/name] I don’t really like either it seems very posh girl with horses if that makes sense.
[name]Verity[/name] [name]Maeve[/name] - I really like this combination, it sounds really cheerful and happy.
[name]Vesper[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name] - I would prefer [name]Vesper[/name] in the middle spot as I really like it but it is quite out there. [name]Genevieve[/name] I’ve never really liked, I’m never sure which way it’s pronounced.
[name]Rosalind[/name] [name]Adelaide[/name] - I think there is a few too many d’s. Though they are both beautiful names. [name]Rosalie[/name] [name]Adelaide[/name] maybe?
[name]Emma[/name] [name]Bronte[/name] - I think it would sound better if the middle was a 3 syllable name, with the two two syllable names it sounds a bit sharp and abrupt to me.
[name]Avril[/name] [name]Camille[/name] - I adore [name]Camille[/name], but I don’t think it works with [name]Avril[/name], there’s too many L’s and it almost seems like the two names rhyme.
[name]Margo[/name] [name]Cecilia[/name] - I prefer the [name]Margot[/name] spelling, I just think it looks a lot more finished, I like both [name]Margot[/name] [name]Cecily[/name] and [name]Margot[/name] [name]Cecilia[/name], I think it would probably depend on which sounded better with the last name.
[name]Rowan[/name] [name]Joy[/name] - I can never say anything bad about [name]Rowan[/name], ever. Fantastic, best name in the world! I do like it with [name]Joy[/name].
[name]Adeline[/name] [name]Rene[/name] - I like it, it’s pretty.
[name]Juliet[/name] [name]Audrey[/name] - Like [name]Juliet[/name], very much dislike [name]Audrey[/name]. I get that it’s popular in the States but to me it will forever be an old lady name, and not the cute vintage ones that sound fresh again.
BOYS:
[name]Emmett[/name] [name]Jace[/name] - I really like [name]Emmett[/name], I think it is a wonderful name. [name]Jace[/name] reminds me of [name]Janelle[/name] from Teen Mom, so naturally, I don’t like it. [name]Emmett[/name] [name]James[/name] maybe?
[name]North[/name] [name]Declan[/name] [name]John[/name] - It sounds like somebody’s surname followed by their first and middle name, like on a register. I much prefer [name]Declan[/name] [name]John[/name] [name]North[/name], I think it flows a lot better.
[name]Jameson[/name] [name]Silas[/name] - I think there is too much of an S sound in the whole name.
[name]Matias[/name] [name]Job[/name] - I quite like Matais, I have no idea how you pronounce [name]Job[/name], is it like the word?
[name]Atticus[/name] [name]Lochlan[/name] - I really like this combination.
[name]Draco[/name] [name]Lucian[/name] - Very [name]Harry[/name] [name]Potter[/name]-esque
Candor [name]Elijah[/name] - Candor means truth doesn’t it? (I’m going off the time I read Divergent). I prefer it [name]Elijah[/name] Candor, simply because I prefer to put the more unusual name in the middle spot.
[name]Felix[/name] [name]Joel[/name] - I like it.
[name]River[/name] [name]Thomas[/name] - I’m not really a fan, to me it sounds like somebody is pointing out a river to somebody named [name]Thomas[/name].
[name]Jasper[/name] [name]Tobias[/name] - I like it, I prefer [name]Tobiah[/name] to [name]Tobias[/name] though.
[name]Vesper[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name]
[name]Rosalind[/name] [name]Adelaide[/name]
[name]Avril[/name] (prefer [name]Camellia[/name] in the middle spot)
[name]Margo[/name] (prefer [name]Margo[/name] [name]Cecile[/name])
[name]Juliet[/name] (prefer [name]Juliet[/name] [name]Adrienne[/name])
[name]North[/name] (I don’t mind two middles, but [name]North[/name] [name]Declan[/name] [name]John[/name] seems really unbalanced)
[name]Matias[/name] [name]Job[/name]
[name]Atticus[/name] ([name]Lochlan[/name] doesn’t really work – how about [name]Atticus[/name] [name]North[/name]?)
[name]River[/name] [name]Thomas[/name] ([name]LOVE[/name] this combo)
[name]Jasper[/name] [name]Tobias[/name]
[name]Skye[/name] [name]Clarissa[/name] - [name]Skye[/name] is lovely! I don’t love [name]Clarissa[/name], it sounds a little dated – you might consider [name]Skye[/name] [name]Helena[/name], [name]Skye[/name] [name]Felicity[/name], [name]Skye[/name] [name]Alessandra[/name], or [name]Skye[/name] [name]Rosalie[/name]!
[name]Verity[/name] [name]Maeve[/name] - A little trendy, but I like it, especially [name]Maeve[/name].
[name]Rosalind[/name] [name]Adelaide[/name] - Maybe too many D’s. [name]Rosalind[/name] [name]Maeve[/name] or [name]Rosalind[/name] [name]Joy[/name] could work, pulling from your other middles.
[name]Emma[/name] [name]Bronte[/name] - Very literary. I like it, but I don’t know – something’s preventing me from loving it. It sounds a little…harsh?
[name]Avril[/name] [name]Camille[/name] - Not a huge fan of [name]Camille[/name], either. [name]Avril[/name] [name]Celeste[/name], [name]Avril[/name] [name]Clementine[/name], [name]Avril[/name] [name]Catherine[/name]?
[name]Margo[/name] [name]Cecilia[/name] - I like the [name]Margot[/name] spelling more, and [name]Margot[/name] [name]Cecily[/name] is pretty.
[name]Rowan[/name] [name]Joy[/name] - I like [name]Rowan[/name] better for a boy, I think.
[name]Adeline[/name] [name]Rene[/name] - Pretty!
[name]Juliet[/name] [name]Audrey[/name] - The name doesn’t really ~flow, in my opinion. It depends on your last name. I love [name]Juliet[/name] and like [name]Audrey[/name], the combination just seems discordant.
BOYS:
[name]Emmett[/name] [name]Jace[/name] - Maybe [name]Emmett[/name] [name]James[/name]? [name]Jace[/name] is the trendier of the two names.
[name]North[/name] [name]Declan[/name] [name]John[/name] - I’m not a two-middles person, usually. This combo seems a little unbalanced. I like [name]Declan[/name] [name]North[/name] or [name]Declan[/name] [name]John[/name], or [name]North[/name] [name]Declan[/name].
[name]Jameson[/name] [name]Silas[/name] - I’m not a huge [name]Jameson[/name] fan, though I know what you mean about [name]James[/name] being popular. There’s also a lot of “S” sound.
[name]Matias[/name] [name]Job[/name] - I like it.
[name]Atticus[/name] [name]Lochlan[/name] - [name]Love[/name] [name]Atticus[/name] as well. Maybe [name]Atticus[/name] [name]North[/name], like augusta_lee suggested.
[name]Draco[/name] [name]Lucian[/name] - [name]Way[/name], way too much [name]Harry[/name] [name]Potter[/name]. I’m a [name]Harry[/name] [name]Potter[/name] nerd, and yeah – [name]Draco[/name] [name]Lucian[/name] just makes me think of [name]Draco[/name] [name]Lucius[/name] Malfoy who wasn’t very masculine or tough.
Candor [name]Elijah[/name] - I’ve never heard Candor before, but it’s quite nice.
Out of your current lists, my favorites are [name]Adeline[/name] [name]Rene[/name], [name]Vesper[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name], [name]Verity[/name] [name]Maeve[/name], [name]Felix[/name] [name]Joel[/name], and [name]Jasper[/name] [name]Tobias[/name].
I love so many of your name choices that I’m sad that I find many of your combos off. I made some suggestions I hope you like. But overall great individual names.
GIRLS:
[name]Skye[/name] [name]Clarissa[/name] - I prefer [name]Clarissa[/name] [name]Skye[/name] it has to do with the emphasis on the individual syllables that just flows better. But, since you love [name]Skye[/name] as a fn so much… how about [name]Skye[/name] [name]Rose[/name] or [name]Skye[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name].
[name]Verity[/name] [name]Maeve[/name] - This and the following two feel mis-matched (mostly because you have strong consonants that are repeated in both or visually similar letters). [name]How[/name] about [name]Verity[/name] [name]Adelaide[/name]? (it get’s rid of the vyv thing that bugs me and sounds beautiful, and gives you a more traditional name to balance out the wordy [name]Verity[/name].
[name]Vesper[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name] - Too many v’s. [name]Vesper[/name] [name]Rosalind[/name] or [name]Vesper[/name] [name]Adelaide[/name] would be great! They give you those traditional mn’s without the repetitive v’s and e’s.
[name]Rosalind[/name] [name]Adelaide[/name] - I agree, too many heavy d’s and they both feel equally old fashioned/classic to me. I’d spice up [name]Rosalind[/name] with [name]Vesper[/name] or [name]Verity[/name]. I really like [name]Rosalind[/name] [name]Verity[/name].
[name]Emma[/name] [name]Bronte[/name] - This is too close to [name]Emily[/name] [name]Bronte[/name]. Why not choose pair [name]Emma[/name] with one of your other more unusual choices? Or how about [name]Emma[/name] [name]Blair[/name]?
[name]Avril[/name] [name]Camille[/name] - sorry I don’t love either of these. I think you have much better on your list.
[name]Margo[/name] [name]Cecilia[/name] - I actually really like [name]Margo[/name] [name]Cecily[/name].
[name]Rowan[/name] [name]Joy[/name] - Oddly wordy. [name]How[/name] about [name]Rowan[/name] [name]Adeline[/name]?
[name]Adeline[/name] [name]Rene[/name] - see below.
[name]Juliet[/name] [name]Audrey[/name] - I love both of these, I hate them together. Sorry. I really like [name]Juliet[/name] [name]Rene[/name] though and [name]Audrey[/name] [name]Clarissa[/name].
BOYS:
[name]Emmett[/name] [name]Jace[/name] - I love [name]Emmett[/name] and dislike [name]Jace[/name]. [name]How[/name] about [name]Emmett[/name] [name]North[/name]?
[name]North[/name] [name]Declan[/name] [name]John[/name] - not too many mn’s. Too many one syllable names. A longer version of [name]John[/name] might suit better.
[name]Jameson[/name] [name]Silas[/name] - This is really s heavy. I’d probably go with [name]Jameson[/name] [name]Elias[/name]. ([name]Elias[/name] and [name]Silas[/name] have a very similar feel to me and [name]Elias[/name] would eliminate the one s sound).
[name]Matias[/name] [name]Job[/name] - this feels very biblical to me. I prefer [name]Mathias[/name] (even if you want the [name]German[/name] pronunciation). [name]Mathias[/name] [name]Jace[/name] feels fresher to me than [name]Matias[/name] [name]Job[/name].
[name]Atticus[/name] [name]Lochlan[/name] - I would go with [name]Atticus[/name] [name]Joel[/name]. It gives me this great mixture image of a nerdy tough guy.
[name]Draco[/name] [name]Lucian[/name] - hahaha. next to [name]Matias[/name] [name]Job[/name] this feel like the demonic version. Sorry wasn’t laughing at the name choices just that you said see [name]Matias[/name] and I keep picturing them as the “good” twin and the “bad” twin. I really like this with [name]Mathias[/name] [name]Jace[/name] though, they would feel really even keel and complimentary.
Candor [name]Elijah[/name] - I feel like you have better name combos. I don’t think Candor shines in this combo. [name]How[/name] about Candor [name]Emmanuel[/name]? Or Candor [name]Jeremiah[/name].
[name]Felix[/name] [name]Joel[/name] - too sound bite-y. [name]How[/name] about [name]Felix[/name] [name]Jameson[/name]?
[name]River[/name] [name]Thomas[/name] - I love this one!
[name]Jasper[/name] [name]Tobias[/name] - I really like both of these names and have them on an extended list, I just don’t like them together all that much. My combos are [name]Jasper[/name] [name]Leonardo[/name] and [name]Tobias[/name] [name]Vincent[/name].
[name]Skye[/name] [name]Clarissa[/name] – [name]Skye[/name] is perfectly fine and lovely to me. However, [name]Clarissa[/name] is a little bit “Explains it All” for me and the combo in general is rather clunky and has no flow
[name]Verity[/name] [name]Maeve[/name] – [name]Verity[/name] isn’t at all feminine to me and the whole combo again has no flow, imo
Verper [name]Genevieve[/name] – Verper always reminds me of [name]Vespa[/name], [name]Genevieve[/name] is flawless
[name]Rosalind[/name] [name]Adelaide[/name] – Nothing wrong with it, but nothing special
[name]Emma[/name] [name]Bronte[/name] – I sure hope you’re a huge, huge [name]Emily[/name] [name]Bronte[/name] fan and can deal with every other person who learns her name commenting on it
[name]Avril[/name] [name]Camille[/name] – While I’m not a fan of [name]Avril[/name], it’s not bad at all. Combo doesn’t work for me/it all becomes one word
[name]Margo[/name] [name]Cecilia[/name] – Great flow and sounds lovely. [name]Margo[/name] [name]Cecily[/name] is a step down
[name]Rowan[/name] [name]Joy[/name] – I like it
[name]Adeline[/name] [name]Rene[/name] – I like it as well, though [name]Madeline[/name] [name]Renee[/name] is much more stunning
[name]Juliet[/name] [name]Audrey[/name] – I don’t like the flow again, but both fine names
[name]Emmett[/name] [name]Jace[/name] – I like it, though it seems incomplete
[name]North[/name] [name]Declan[/name] [name]John[/name] – Not too many middles, but I strongly dislike the flow of this. [name]Declan[/name] [name]John[/name] [name]North[/name] sounds a lot better.
[name]Jameson[/name] [name]Silas[/name] – Though [name]Jameson[/name] is less popular, it’s a lot more trendy and strikes me as very “this decade”. [name]James[/name] [name]Silas[/name] is handsome, despite the amount of “S” sounds
[name]Matias[/name] [name]Job[/name] – Not my style of names, but definitely handsome
[name]Atticus[/name] [name]Lochlan[/name] – I like it
[name]Draco[/name] [name]Lucian[/name] – [name]WAY[/name] to [name]Harry[/name] [name]Potter[/name] ([name]Lucian[/name] is only steps from [name]Lucius[/name]). I’d only use this if your last name was Malfoy.
Candor [name]Elijah[/name] – I can’t get behind Candor. [name]Elijah[/name] is great and I’d prefer [name]Elijah[/name] Candor by far.
[name]Felix[/name] [name]Joel[/name] – I like this one
[name]River[/name] [name]Thomas[/name] – No, not to odd. I see [name]River[/name] being used more every month. The flow is a lot better than many of the other one’s.
[name]Jasper[/name] [name]Tobias[/name] – I like this one as well
SO, to summarize.
Keep/I like:
[name]Skye[/name]
[name]Maeve[/name]
[name]Genevieve[/name]
[name]Margo[/name] [name]Cecilia[/name]
[name]Rowan[/name] [name]Joy[/name]
[name]Adeline[/name]/[name]Madeline[/name] [name]Renee[/name]
[name]Juliet[/name]
[name]Audrey[/name]
