Im having second thoughts and I’m going back to my long list. help me please.
Im 100% open to suggestions and criticism. The middle names are not set, just names I thought worked well. [name]Feel[/name] free to pick your favouite sets, mix and match, whatever you wish. thanks for your help berries!
[name]LOVE[/name]
[name]Sydney[/name] [name]Morgan[/name] - although somewhat unisex, I really like this combination. Really cute without being too girly, flows well, will age well
[name]Lilly[/name] [name]Faith[/name] - I like that you paired the popular [name]Lilly[/name] with a more uncommon middle. Really pretty
[name]Natasha[/name] [name]Lauren[/name] - Beautiful pairing of two classics
[name]Zoey[/name] [name]Rebecca[/name] - I’d like this even more if it were [name]Zoe[/name]. But this is fabulous.
LIKE
[name]Alexia[/name] [name]Grace[/name] - a little boring, but flows really well. I prefer [name]Alexa[/name] or [name]Alexandra[/name] or [name]Alesandra[/name].
[name]Avery[/name] [name]Sage[/name] - cute!
[name]Bryony[/name] [name]Adele[/name] - I don’t love [name]Bryony[/name], but I [name]DO[/name] love [name]Adele[/name], and I like the unusualness of this combination.
[name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Jade[/name] - pretty
[name]Harlow[/name] [name]Claire[/name] - like, would love [name]Claire[/name] [name]Marlowe[/name] or [name]Clara[/name] [name]Harlow[/name]
[name]Willow[/name] [name]Addison[/name] - [name]Willow[/name] is gorgeous, but [name]Addison[/name] is slightly tacky. [name]Willow[/name] [name]Madeline[/name] or [name]Willow[/name] [name]Allison[/name] could both work.
[name]Reagan[/name] [name]Hazel[/name] - I’d prefer [name]Teagan[/name] [name]Willow[/name]. I think the meanings would be gorgeous together. I’ve never liked [name]Reagan[/name].
[name]Madeline[/name] [name]Violet[/name] - Somewhat over-done, but really pretty.
[name]Sienna[/name] [name]Renee[/name] - flows very well.
[name]Leah[/name] [name]Brynn[/name] - I know a girl named [name]Brynne[/name] [name]Leah[/name]! I like what you have better.
DISLIKE
[name]Braelyn[/name] [name]Carley[/name] - I really dislike this. [name]Braelyn[/name] is not pretty, and looks made-up. [name]Carley[/name] is outdated.
[name]Kaelyn[/name] [name]Elise[/name] - dislike…would love [name]Caitlin[/name] [name]Elise[/name] or [name]Cassandra[/name] [name]Elise[/name].
[name]Kennedy[/name] [name]Paige[/name] - I don’t like [name]Kennedy[/name]…it just doesn’t sound feminine. What about [name]Kendra[/name] [name]Paige[/name]?
[name]Kinsley[/name] [name]Michelle[/name] - same comments as [name]Braelyn[/name] [name]Carley[/name].
[name]Ella[/name] [name]Madison[/name] - Over-done
[name]Scarlett[/name] [name]Alicia[/name] - This strikes me as tacky. What about [name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Adele[/name]?
You have some lovely names and beautiful combinations here! As you can see, I’m not really a fan of last-names-as-first-names ([name]Madison[/name], [name]Kennedy[/name], [name]Reagan[/name] etc) or the -lyn names - I find that both will look dated and are somewhat tacky. BUT you have a lot of classics (either timeless classics or modern-classics) here and you are amazing at creating combinations that flow well. I hope this has helped.
Also, I have to say that I [name]LOVE[/name] both the boys’ names that you have in your signature. [name]Declan[/name] and [name]Callum[/name] are my top boys’ names too!
[name]Zoey[/name] [name]Violet[/name] makes a cute combo, or if you don’t mind [name]Violet[/name] as a first I think [name]Violet[/name] [name]Adele[/name] is gorgeous! If I had to choose one as- is, I’d say [name]Avery[/name] [name]Sage[/name] is my fave.
[name]Bryony[/name] [name]Adele[/name] is gorgeous! I’m in love ^^
I really like [name]Sage[/name], [name]Claire[/name], [name]Elise[/name] and [name]Hazel[/name] as well.
[name]Hazel[/name] [name]Claire[/name] would be wonderful with [name]Bryony[/name] [name]Adele[/name]. Also love [name]Sage[/name] [name]Elise[/name], but she’s less elegant and vintage.
From your list, the combos that flow well are [name]Madeline[/name] [name]Violet[/name], [name]Leah[/name] [name]Brynn[/name], [name]Bryony[/name] [name]Adele[/name], [name]Alexia[/name] [name]Grace[/name], [name]Harlow[/name] [name]Claire[/name] and [name]Zoey[/name] [name]Rebecca[/name]. Some of your combos are heavy on one sound ([name]Avery[/name] [name]Sage[/name] has repetitive “ay” sounds; [name]Sienna[/name] [name]Renee[/name] has “en”), too unisex or surnamey ([name]Sydney[/name] [name]Morgan[/name], [name]Kennedy[/name] [name]Paige[/name]) or just don’t sound good together ([name]Braelyn[/name] [name]Carley[/name], [name]Kaelyn[/name] [name]Elise[/name])
I have to agree with @dearest, [name]Bryony[/name] [name]Adele[/name] [i]is[i] gorgeous!! I also love the combos [name]Avery[/name] [name]Sage[/name], [name]Sydney[/name] [name]Morgan[/name] and [name]Willow[/name] [name]Addison[/name].
Mixing and matching some of them…
[name]Harlow[/name] [name]Paige[/name]
[name]Reagan[/name] [name]Faith[/name]
[name]Scarlett[/name] [name]Lilly[/name] (I know this one has too many l’s but I still love it)
[name]Sienna[/name] [name]Jade[/name]
[name]Zoey[/name] [name]Madison[/name]
I also really like @mischa’a combo, [name]Sienna[/name] [name]Morgan[/name]. Beautiful.
my thought is it might help you to focus just on the first names and sort them by style - it seems like you have unisex, classic, etc. especially if this is your first child, then it sort of sets the tone. i think thinking and discussing with your partner what style you like/want in a name might help you to shorten the selections as you can keep only the unisex or only the more trendy or only themore classic for example. from there you might better be able to see which first name you like best. i wouldn’t get too into selecting the middle until you have the first narrowed down more, because in real life you won’t hear them together much and it is much more important to me to have the first name you want and then find a nice middle to go with it.
I love [name]Bryony[/name] [name]Adele[/name], [name]Zoe[/name] [name]Rebecca[/name] (This is so pretty, [name]IMO[/name], [name]Rebecca[/name] is a great, unexpected middle name choice), and [name]Madeline[/name] [name]Violet[/name]. I love [name]Willow[/name], too - but not [name]Addison[/name], at all.
[name]Love[/name]: [name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Jade[/name], [name]Harlow[/name] [name]Claire[/name], [name]Lilly[/name] [name]Faith[/name], [name]Madeline[/name] [name]Claire[/name], [name]Scarlett[/name] [name]Alicia[/name], [name]Sienna[/name] [name]Renee[/name], [name]Willow[/name] [name]Addison[/name], and [name]Zoey[/name] [name]Rebecca[/name].
My fave combo of these is [name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Jade[/name]. What about: [name]Willow[/name] [name]Jade[/name], [name]Zoey[/name] [name]Faith[/name], and [name]Scarlett[/name] [name]Rebecca[/name].
Like: [name]Alexia[/name] [name]Grace[/name], [name]Avery[/name] [name]Sage[/name], [name]Ella[/name] [name]Madison[/name], [name]Kennedy[/name] [name]Paige[/name], [name]Leah[/name] [name]Brynn[/name], [name]Natasha[/name] [name]Lauren[/name], and [name]Reagan[/name] [name]Hazel[/name].
Some of these pairings seem akward to me; like [name]Reagan[/name] [name]Hazel[/name]. [name]Reagan[/name] is unisex and current, while [name]Hazel[/name] is very old fashioned. I like [name]Alexia[/name] [name]Grace[/name], [name]Leah[/name] [name]Brynn[/name], and [name]Natasha[/name] [name]Lauren[/name] the best of these.
Not a fan of: [name]Braelyn[/name] [name]Carley[/name], [name]Bryony[/name] [name]Adele[/name], [name]Kaelyn[/name] [name]Elise[/name], [name]Kinsley[/name] [name]Michelle[/name], and [name]Sydney[/name] [name]Morgan[/name].
These are just really not my style. I like [name]Bryony[/name] [name]Adele[/name] the best out of these.
[name]Love[/name] [name]Bryony[/name] [name]Adele[/name] and [name]Willow[/name] [name]Adele[/name]. [name]Charlotte[/name], [name]Madeleine[/name], [name]Leah[/name], [name]Zoey[/name] are also solid choices. [name]Kennedy[/name] and [name]Reagan[/name] are nms but I think they are cute names - those two presidents just don’t do it for me.
I would prefer [name]Marlo[/name] over Harlowe.
Sorry, I really dislike [name]Braelyn[/name] and [name]Kaelyn[/name] - they are both a bit of a smoosh and that sound starts with long A ends in -lynn is overdone.
[name]Alexia[/name] [name]Grace[/name]-I love it but unfortunately all the “[name]Alex[/name]” names are super popular and [name]Grace[/name] is overused as a middle name. [name]Grace[/name] [name]Alexia[/name] would be better and more interesting
[name]Avery[/name] [name]Sage[/name]-Unless your daughter turns out to be a super-duper girly girl, then I really love this name. Yes [name]Avery[/name] is getting popular and [name]Sage[/name] is on the rise but their not super popular and it gives a strong vibe (and even if Ms. [name]Avery[/name] [name]Sage[/name] is a really feminine girl their always is the nickname [name]Ava[/name]) Downside: Your last name better not begin with S
[name]Braelyn[/name] [name]Carley[/name]-[name]Braelyn[/name] is not my style but its ok. I prefer [name]Carly[/name] over [name]Carley[/name] though…
[name]Bryony[/name] [name]Adele[/name]-I [name]ADORE[/name] this combo! Very unique (again, last name better not begin with D)
[name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Jade[/name]-This is really cute and flows well <3
Ella Madison-Their both popular names but this combo has the right balance of girly/boyish and its cute
Harlow Claire-LOVE IT!
Kaelyn Elise-I would prefer Elise Katherine or Katherine Elise over your combo now but its still ok
Kennedy Paige-Sounds professional lol
Kinsley Michelle-Kinsley’s cute and it flows well but not my style lol
Leah Brynn-Short and sweet love it <3
Lilly Faith-I like it but if it was between this combo and Leah Brynn, I would go with Leah
Madeline Violet-Like it but too common and you have way better combos
Natasha Lauren-This is good
Reagan Hazel-I like this one a lot too
Scarlett Alicia-I love how Scarlett and Alicia are so different but together they sound great (again, you can’t have a D last name with this one)
Sienna Renee-A lot of E’s but sounds nice
Sydney Morgan-Sienna Morgan or Sydney Margaret would be better than Sydney and Morgan together
Willow Addison-Willow is cute and Addison is fine. Have you considered Willow Adele though?
Zoey Rebecca-Like it
TOP THREE:
Bryony Adele
Charlotte Jade
Scarlett Alicia
