[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.
Here are my thoughts on your list:
[name_u]Anne[/name_u] Cassandra-I kind of like [name_u]Anne[/name_u] for its classic simplicity. That and the adorable nn of [name_f]Annie[/name_f] is very natural. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you like [name_f]Annie[/name_f]? It may be hard to avoid. I don’t mind [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f] for a middle name. It’s a little prissy as a first name for me. [name_u]Anne[/name_u] [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f] isn’t bad, but I don’t love how it repeats the ‘an’ sound.
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] Gwendolen-Absolutely gorgeous. [name_f]Lily[/name_f] is light & sweet & [name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f] is long and romantic. I’m very very pleased with the spelling of [name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f] too! It looks sleeker than [name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f] in my opinion.
[name_f]Amelie[/name_f] [name_f]Elena[/name_f] Lark-Amelie [name_f]Elena[/name_f] is just a teeny bit exotic; just the right amount of romantic international flair. The [name_u]Lark[/name_u] part flows perfectly fine & I love the bird imagery…just don’t love the harsh sound of [name_u]Lark[/name_u].
[name_f]Julia[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] Colette-Julia in general isn’t super exciting to me, but it’s a perfectly nice name. [name_f]Julia[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Colette[/name_f] is really darling though.
[name_f]Leonora[/name_f] Marianne-Both names that I don’t love but am perfectly happy to see on a list. The combo is a bit ‘n’ & ‘r’ heavy in my opinion.
[name_f]Linnea[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] June-Sweet combo; very mid century. I can’t get into the sound of [name_f]Linnea[/name_f] for some reason.
[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] Elowen-So cute & pixie-ish! I do prefer [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] nn [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f], but this is still a great choice.
[name_f]Thea[/name_f] Violette-Thea is nice. Simple, smart, feminine without being frilly & old fashioned. I love [name_f]Violet[/name_f], but [name_f]Violette[/name_f] doesn’t look right to me since the flower is [name_f]Violet[/name_f]. [name_f]Lovely[/name_f] combo none the less.
[name_f]Mabel[/name_f] [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] Frances-Normally I’d complain about all of the ‘m’ & ‘n’ sounds, but these names are so charming together I’m okay with it!
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] Pearl-Very lovely. [name_f]Alice[/name_f] is soft & quiet, & it goes great with the slightly bolder [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] & [name_f]Pearl[/name_f].
[name_f]Ariadne[/name_f] June-I like [name_f]Ariadne[/name_f] in theory, but it always sounds off when said out loud. Maybe I’m just not used to it.
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] [name_f]Helene[/name_f] Lucille-The combo works, but [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] is just not my vibe. It sounds so snooty to me. I like [name_f]Helena[/name_f] okay, but don’t care for [name_f]Helene[/name_f] either.
[name_f]Margo[/name_f] [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] Sunny-Daphne & [name_u]Sunny[/name_u] are both good middle names, but a little sing song-y that they both end in ‘ee’ sounds. I don’t mind [name_f]Margo[/name_f] (prefer Margot), but it’s not my favorite.
[name_f]Elswyth[/name_f] Arietty-Really cool combo. I’m not sure how I feel about [name_f]Elswyth[/name_f], but it looks neat! I like the slightly less daring [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f] more.
[name_f]Carys[/name_f] Guinevere-I don’t mind Carys…I like the vibe of it more than the sound if that makes sense. [name_f]Carys[/name_f] [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] doesn’t flow that well in my opinion, but I do love love love [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] in general.
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f] Estelle-So pretty. Elegant & romantic but not too much.
[name_f]Maia[/name_f] [name_f]Verity[/name_f] Florence-Love [name_f]Maia[/name_f] spelled this way. The middle names are really not my style, but I still like this combo anyway.
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f] Valentine-Both okay names; neither are my favorite.
[name_f]Louisa[/name_f] Pearl-Love it! Have had it on my list as well.
[name_f]Helena[/name_f] Fern-Hm…I like both names & this is different. Not sure I love the flow.
[name_f]Astoria[/name_f] Winter-I don’t know…Astoria is a little much for me, & this sounds sort of descriptive. Like it’s about a winter in the town of [name_f]Astoria[/name_f].
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] Rose-Beatrix & [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] are both on my top ten list, so I’m not mad at that! I like [name_u]Rose[/name_u] too a lot, but not sure you need it here.
[name_f]Eowyn[/name_f] Jane-Eowyn is cool, but this is too rhyme-y with [name_f]Jane[/name_f].
[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps.
