Seeking feedback from creatives

Tee_Time · June 9, 2020, 11:54pm

Hello!

So, I have a super long list (this is only about 1/4) for girl names. I’m lucky in that my husband likes most of my choices, too! Here are some double middle (our first daughter has double middles but we don’t necessarily have to keep that up with siblings) and single middle combos. As you can see, I love names from multiple styles and cultures. I’m not stuck in a time period or a particular vibe at all.

I’m looking for some feedback on which combos sound well together and maybe which would pair well as sisters, so I can get some more cemented in my top group. I know that in the past on here, I’ve had several “these names aren’t my style” comments with nothing else, which doesn’t help me in any way. So, please feel free to have fun mixing and matching or suggesting new names or alternative middles, whatever you want.

Ingrid [name_f]Liora[/name_f] [name_u]Sage[/name_u] has a particularly lovely flow! I could see her paired well with [name_f]Annika[/name_f] Sojourn [name_u]Camille[/name_u] or [name_f]Essie[/name_f] [name_f]Anita[/name_f] [name_f]Fleur[/name_f].
Wanda [name_u]Starling[/name_u] and [name_f]Lumi[/name_f] [name_u]Nightingale[/name_u] sound like simply magical sister names! The unexpected bird names in the middle are a nice tie.
Emmanuelle [name_f]Posy[/name_f] is just darling! [name_u]Love[/name_u] love love. [name_f]Antonina[/name_f] Flurry might make a good sister name for her… If I were to mix & match, I’d say [name_f]Antonina[/name_f] [name_f]Fleur[/name_f] would be even better!
Helen [name_f]Katarina[/name_f] and [name_f]Opal[/name_f] [name_f]Ravenna[/name_f] seem made to be sister names, imo.
Cordelia [name_f]Fawn[/name_f] is so sweet! [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] [name_f]Electra[/name_f] would probably be my first thought, except that [name_f]Electra[/name_f] doesn’t really match the vibe of [name_f]Fawn[/name_f]. Perhaps [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] [name_f]Jade[/name_f]?

Tee_Time · June 10, 2020, 12:56am

Thank you for this! I particularly love mixing up different styles of names because to me, that’s the way the world is and I don’t really want someone thinking: Oh, ________________ was born in 1990s or the 2020s or something like that. I like a bit of mystery and magic in my names.

Tee_Time · June 10, 2020, 1:00am

Thank you so much!

I do like how [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] and [name_f]Annika[/name_f] sound together as sisters, though I think it’s a little predictable. [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] and [name_f]Essie[/name_f] I’d love.

Wanda [name_u]Starling[/name_u] and [name_f]Lumi[/name_f] [name_u]Nightingale[/name_u] I just love together. I’m glad to have some unexpected choices on my list, thank you!

I love [name_f]Emmanuelle[/name_f] [name_f]Posy[/name_f] too, of course. I did have this as a double middle, but it just works so well on its own. Thank you so much!

doublefirst · June 10, 2020, 3:39am

I love how a lot of your double middle name options have a name that ends in -ee, -uh, and then a third different sound! I especially love [name_f]Melody[/name_f] [name_f]Maud[/name_f] [name_f]Vienna[/name_f] because of the alliteration and [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] [name_f]Liora[/name_f] [name_u]Sage[/name_u] because of the 2-3-1 syllable flow.

Tee_Time · June 10, 2020, 1:49pm

Thank you so much! I really like [name_f]Tatia[/name_f] [name_f]Breeze[/name_f] and Ferryn [name_f]Paige[/name_f] [name_f]Ravenna[/name_f].

Tee_Time · June 10, 2020, 1:52pm

Thank you, thank you! Yes, I try to put names together that don’t have a lot of the same endings, because sometimes it’s a little too sing-songs for my liking when they do. I appreciate your response.

reider · June 10, 2020, 2:12pm

My absolute favorites are:
[name_f]Essie[/name_f] [name_f]Anita[/name_f] [name_f]Fleur[/name_f]
[name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] [name_f]Liora[/name_f] [name_u]Sage[/name_u]

[name_f]Emmanuelle[/name_f] [name_f]Posy[/name_f]
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] [name_f]Fawn[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] [name_f]Electra[/name_f]
[name_f]Helen[/name_f] [name_f]Katarina[/name_f]
[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Jade[/name_f]

Ones that felt weird in my mouth
[name_f]Tatia[/name_f] Meridel [name_f]Zuzu[/name_f] (it felt like three separate names)
[name_f]Goldie[/name_f] [name_f]Mariette[/name_f] [name_f]Sia[/name_f] (I don’t want to ruin anything for you but I felt like saying rickettsia)
[name_f]Jovie[/name_f] [name_f]Soraya[/name_f] [name_u]Day[/name_u] (love [name_f]Jovie[/name_f] but the “ray day” got me)
[name_f]Antonina[/name_f] Flurry (for some reason I was stumbling over [name_f]Antonina[/name_f] when I read it out loud)

Mix, Match, and Suggest
[name_f]Maud[/name_f] [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] [name_f]Vienna[/name_f]
Ferryn [name_f]Elke[/name_f] [name_f]Emmanuelle[/name_f] (elk-ee)
[name_f]Lumi[/name_f] [name_f]Angelica[/name_f] [name_u]Larkspur[/name_u]
[name_f]Marjorie[/name_f] [name_f]Amadea[/name_f] [name_f]Selene[/name_f]

My favorites for double middles: Ferryn [name_f]Amadea[/name_f] [name_f]Lilac[/name_f] and [name_f]Essie[/name_f] [name_f]Anita[/name_f] [name_f]Fleur[/name_f]- [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] [name_f]Liora[/name_f] [name_u]Sage[/name_u] flows REALLY well, but the individual names are not my favorites.

Favorites for single middles: [name_f]Lumi[/name_f] [name_u]Nightingale[/name_u], [name_f]Bianca[/name_f] [name_f]Larue[/name_f], and [name_f]Antonina[/name_f] Flurry

Sorry if this doesn’t help at all, I just chose the ones that flowed well together and had individual names that were pretty and complementary!

Tee_Time · June 10, 2020, 2:26pm

Thank you very much! I absolutely love [name_f]Lumi[/name_f] [name_f]Angelica[/name_f] [name_u]Larkspur[/name_u], though I’m not sure I can give up [name_u]Nightingale[/name_u] for [name_f]Lumi[/name_f]. It’s really pretty, though. I also like [name_f]Cecily[/name_f] [name_f]Fleur[/name_f] together and [name_f]Fleur[/name_f] [name_f]Katarina[/name_f]. Great combos. Oh, and [name_f]Soraya[/name_f] is pronounced “Sor-eye-uh,” not rhyming with [name_u]Day[/name_u].

Tee_Time · June 10, 2020, 2:27pm

Thank you, thank you! Yes, this definitely helps as I create a hierarchy list of all my names. Luckily, the ones that end up further down the list, I can maybe use in my writing.

Johannaa · June 10, 2020, 2:54pm

Wow, your list is so interesting! I love [name_f]Essie[/name_f] [name_f]Anita[/name_f] [name_f]Fleur[/name_f], [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] [name_f]Liora[/name_f] [name_u]Sage[/name_u], [name_f]Annika[/name_f] Sojourn [name_u]Camille[/name_u], [name_f]Judith[/name_f] Cascadia, [name_f]Helen[/name_f] [name_f]Katarina[/name_f] and [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Jade[/name_f].

Because your style is so diverse I actually think most names pair well as sisters but below are some pairs that seem ‘logical’ to me:

Annika Sojourn [name_u]Camille[/name_u] and [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] [name_f]Liora[/name_f] [name_u]Sage[/name_u]
Elka [name_f]Viridis[/name_f] [name_f]Paige[/name_f] and [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] [name_f]Liora[/name_f] [name_u]Sage[/name_u]
Audrey [name_f]Lise[/name_f] [name_f]Mirembe[/name_f], [name_f]Melody[/name_f] [name_f]Maud[/name_f] [name_f]Vienna[/name_f] and [name_u]Kay[/name_u] [name_f]Marjorie[/name_f] [name_f]Zenaida[/name_f]
Tatia Meridel [name_f]Zuzu[/name_f], [name_f]Jovie[/name_f] [name_f]Soraya[/name_f] [name_u]Day[/name_u] and Ferryn [name_f]Amadea[/name_f] [name_f]Lilac[/name_f]
Tatia Meridel [name_f]Zuzu[/name_f], [name_f]Saffi[/name_f] [name_f]Natasha[/name_f] Blix and Ferryn [name_f]Amadea[/name_f] [name_f]Lilac[/name_f]
Rosamund [name_f]Electra[/name_f], [name_f]Marceline[/name_f] [name_u]True[/name_u], [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] [name_f]Fawn[/name_f], [name_f]Antonina[/name_f] Flurry and [name_f]Helen[/name_f] [name_f]Katarina[/name_f]
Judith Cascadia, [name_f]Lois[/name_f] [name_f]Angelica[/name_f], [name_f]Bianca[/name_f] [name_f]Larue[/name_f] and [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Jade[/name_f]
Opal [name_f]Ravenna[/name_f], [name_f]Wanda[/name_f] [name_u]Starling[/name_u], [name_u]Kestrel[/name_u] [name_u]Antonia[/name_u], [name_f]Naia[/name_f] [name_f]Solandis[/name_f] and [name_f]Lumi[/name_f] [name_u]Nightingale[/name_u]

I like [name_f]Essie[/name_f] and [name_f]Annika[/name_f] together as well, but I think [name_f]Anita[/name_f] and [name_f]Annika[/name_f] are too close, so in that case [name_f]Essie[/name_f] will need another middle name. Maybe [name_f]Essie[/name_f] Meridel [name_f]Fleur[/name_f] and [name_f]Annika[/name_f] Sojourn [name_u]Camille[/name_u]?
By the way, I’ve only heard [name_f]Essie[/name_f] as a nickname for girls called [name_f]Esther[/name_f], so I find it a bit hard to imagine it on an adult. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you like [name_f]Esther[/name_f] with nickname [name_f]Essie[/name_f]? On the other hand, I know woman called [name_f]Annie[/name_f], [name_f]Hennie[/name_f] and [name_f]Elly[/name_f] so [name_f]Essie[/name_f] doesn’t have to be a problem for an adult.

I looked the meaning of Flurry up and apparently it’s a form of the masculine name Flaithrí, meaning “king of princes”? Unfortunately, my first association was Mcflurry ice cream. Maybe it doesn’t bother you though. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you like [name_f]Antonina[/name_f] [name_f]Florry[/name_f] (as a variation of [name_f]Flora[/name_f])?

Some mixing and matching for new combinations:

Goldie [name_f]Natasha[/name_f]
Judith [name_f]Amadea[/name_f]
Lois [name_f]Electra[/name_f]
Marceline [name_f]Lilac[/name_f] [name_f]Vienna[/name_f]
Maud [name_f]Melody[/name_f] [name_f]Vienna[/name_f]
Melody [name_f]Soraya[/name_f] [name_u]Day[/name_u]
Opal [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Jade[/name_f]
Rosamund [name_f]Lise[/name_f]

Tee_Time · June 10, 2020, 3:20pm

Thank you very much!

I do like [name_f]Essie[/name_f] and [name_f]Annika[/name_f] as a sister set. Also, [name_f]Opal[/name_f] and [name_f]Wanda[/name_f] would be lovely.

[name_f]Essie[/name_f] is the name of my grandmother’s best friend (well into their 80s). There is also a famous Australian actress: [name_f]Essie[/name_f] [name_u]Davis[/name_u]. I would not use [name_f]Esther[/name_f], no.

I’m using the nature term Flurry when it comes to that name. Like a snow flurry. If I end up with an [name_f]Essie[/name_f] [name_f]Anita[/name_f] [name_f]Fleur[/name_f], I wouldn’t use Flurry. I just happen to love the way it sounds with [name_f]Antonina[/name_f]. I do love [name_f]Florrie[/name_f] and have a few combos I like with her.

[name_f]Lois[/name_f] [name_f]Electra[/name_f] and [name_f]Opal[/name_f] [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Jade[/name_f] are divine, thank you for the suggestions!

Greyblue · June 10, 2020, 4:48pm

I’ll feedback on your combos and make some other suggestions too!

Essie [name_f]Anita[/name_f] [name_f]Fleur[/name_f]
I love the mix of sophisticated [name_f]Fleur[/name_f] and cheerful [name_f]Essie[/name_f]. I must admit [name_f]Anita[/name_f] isn’t my style and I think something else could fit better in the combo. [name_f]Essie[/name_f] [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f] [name_f]Fleur[/name_f], [name_f]Essie[/name_f] [name_f]Paloma[/name_f] [name_f]Fleur[/name_f], [name_f]Essie[/name_f] [name_f]Annika[/name_f] [name_f]Fleur[/name_f], [name_f]Essie[/name_f] [name_f]Adelia[/name_f] [name_f]Fleur[/name_f]?

Tatia Meridel [name_f]Zuzu[/name_f]
[name_f]Tatia[/name_f] is prim yet delightful, Meridel is intriguing and I like them together. [name_f]May[/name_f] I suggest [name_f]Tatia[/name_f] Meridel [name_f]Zadie[/name_f]?

Ingrid [name_f]Liora[/name_f] [name_u]Sage[/name_u]
This is gorgeous - [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] [name_f]Liora[/name_f] [name_u]Sage[/name_u] has flair and style

Goldie [name_f]Mariette[/name_f] [name_f]Sia[/name_f]
I love the cheery [name_f]Goldie[/name_f] - vintage and charming. [name_f]Mariette[/name_f] is lovely too and I like [name_f]Sia[/name_f] but it doesn’t quite seem to fit here. [name_f]Goldie[/name_f] [name_f]Mariette[/name_f] [name_f]Cleo[/name_f]? [name_f]Goldie[/name_f] [name_f]Marianne[/name_f] [name_f]Suri[/name_f]? [name_f]Goldie[/name_f] [name_f]Marianne[/name_f] [name_f]Leah[/name_f]? [name_f]Goldie[/name_f] [name_f]Mariette[/name_f] [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]?

Saffi [name_f]Natasha[/name_f] Blix
I prefer the spelling Saffie but it’s such a cool name - stylish and sweet. [name_f]Natasha[/name_f] has bite to it and fits well with [name_f]Saffi[/name_f]! Saffie [name_f]Natasha[/name_f] [name_f]Bea[/name_f]? Saffie [name_f]Natasha[/name_f] [name_u]Bryn[/name_u]? Saffie [name_f]Natalia[/name_f] [name_f]Misty[/name_f]?

Elka [name_f]Viridis[/name_f] [name_f]Paige[/name_f]
I love the earthy feel of this. [name_f]Elka[/name_f] [name_f]Viridis[/name_f] [name_u]Sage[/name_u] would sound nice too

Audrey [name_f]Lise[/name_f] [name_f]Mirembe[/name_f]
[name_f]Audrey[/name_f] [name_f]Lise[/name_f] [name_f]Mirembe[/name_f] is intriguing - such a mix of sounds and styles but they work! [name_f]Audrey[/name_f] [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] Memory came to mind too

Kay [name_f]Marjorie[/name_f] [name_f]Zenaida[/name_f]
This has vintage charm with added flair. [name_u]Kay[/name_u] [name_f]Zenaida[/name_f] [name_f]Marjorie[/name_f] would sound good too! Or [name_u]Jorie[/name_u] [name_f]Zenaida[/name_f] [name_u]Kay[/name_u]?

Melody [name_f]Maud[/name_f] [name_f]Vienna[/name_f]
[name_f]Melody[/name_f] [name_f]Maud[/name_f] [name_f]Vienna[/name_f] is so melodic and vibrant

Annika Sojourn [name_u]Camille[/name_u]
This is lovely! [name_f]Annika[/name_f] is such a feisty and determined name and I love the charm and adventurous vibe of Sojourn. [name_u]Camille[/name_u] adds something more soft to the name to round it off

Jovie [name_f]Soraya[/name_f] [name_u]Day[/name_u]
[name_f]Jovie[/name_f] is such a happy, brilliant name and I adore [name_f]Soraya[/name_f] - it feels bright and funky! [name_u]Day[/name_u] is interesting and adds something unexpected to this lovely combo. [name_f]Jovie[/name_f] [name_f]Soraya[/name_f] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] also came to mind

Ferryn [name_f]Amadea[/name_f] [name_f]Lilac[/name_f]
I’d prefer the spelling Ferrin but Ferryn is such a soft yet sharp sounding name - it’s nice, [name_f]Amadea[/name_f] [name_f]Lilac[/name_f] is dreaming and balances the combo

Perla [name_f]Faustine[/name_f]
I love [name_f]Perla[/name_f] - chirpy and sleek at the same time. I’m not wild on [name_f]Faustine[/name_f] I must admit. It reminds me of the [name_m]Faust[/name_m] legend which isn’t a positive association. [name_f]Perla[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f], [name_f]Perla[/name_f] [name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f], [name_f]Perla[/name_f] [name_f]Corinne[/name_f], [name_f]Perla[/name_f] [name_f]Francine[/name_f]?

Judith Cascadia
Cascadia is bright and brilliant and balances out the clunkiness of [name_f]Judith[/name_f]

Lumi [name_u]Nightingale[/name_u]
This is beautiful! [name_f]Lumi[/name_f] is so light and sweet and [name_u]Nightingale[/name_u] is sleek and excellent. Together they make a magical combination

Lois [name_f]Angelica[/name_f]
I adore [name_f]Lois[/name_f]. Such a sweet, yet deep sounding name. [name_f]Angelica[/name_f] is angelic and lovely and they flow and fit so well together

Bianca [name_f]Larue[/name_f]
[name_f]Bianca[/name_f] sounds so funky and I love the unique sounds. [name_f]Larue[/name_f] is interesting but I think [name_f]Bianca[/name_f] [name_u]Roux[/name_u] would be nice too

Wanda [name_u]Starling[/name_u]
I must admit I’m not a big fan of [name_f]Wanda[/name_f]. It’s a bit clunky and unappealing, sorry. [name_f]Wanda[/name_f] [name_u]Starling[/name_u] as a combo though has an appealing charm though -[name_u]Starling[/name_u] adds something light and sweet to [name_f]Wanda[/name_f]. Some names inspired by this are [name_f]Tilda[/name_f] [name_u]Sparrow[/name_u], [name_f]Hilda[/name_f] [name_u]Skylark[/name_u], [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] [name_u]Lark[/name_u], [name_f]Wilda[/name_f] [name_u]Starling[/name_u] and [name_f]Greta[/name_f] [name_u]Sparrow[/name_u]

Emmanuelle [name_f]Posy[/name_f]
I love this. [name_f]Emmanuelle[/name_f] is so bold and sweet little [name_f]Posy[/name_f] fits perfectly alongside her

Claudia [name_f]Breeze[/name_f]
Ooh,I like this! Such a sweet mix of calm and classic and bold and breezy!

Naia [name_f]Solandis[/name_f]
[name_f]Naia[/name_f] is gorgeous but I’m not sure on [name_f]Solandis[/name_f]. [name_f]Naia[/name_f] [name_f]Selene[/name_f]? [name_f]Naia[/name_f] [name_f]Sunshine[/name_f]? [name_f]Naia[/name_f] [name_f]Cariad[/name_f]?

Cordelia [name_f]Fawn[/name_f]
This is lovely! [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] has such a lovely meaning and I love how it’s literary too. [name_f]Fawn[/name_f] is soft and sweet and fits with the heavier [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]

Kestrel [name_u]Antonia[/name_u]
This sounds so free and powerful but in a gentle, lovely way

Marceline [name_u]True[/name_u]
Gorgeous - [name_f]Marceline[/name_f] is sleek and darling and [name_u]True[/name_u] adds something modern and bright

Rosamund [name_f]Electra[/name_f]
I like these two names separately but together it feels a bit heavy and a bit clunk. [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] [name_f]Eliora[/name_f]? [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] [name_f]Allegra[/name_f]? [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] [name_f]Eleni[/name_f]? [name_f]Aurelie[/name_f] [name_f]Electra[/name_f]?

Antonina Flurry
[name_f]Antonina[/name_f] is okay but Flurry reminds me too much of McFlurrys… sorry. [name_f]Antonina[/name_f] [name_f]Lumi[/name_f]? [name_f]Antonina[/name_f] [name_f]Eirlys[/name_f]? [name_f]Apolline[/name_f] [name_u]Fable[/name_u]? Apollina [name_u]Sunset[/name_u]?

Opal [name_f]Ravenna[/name_f]
[name_f]Opal[/name_f] is gorgeous, so deep and beautiful and a lovely stone too. [name_f]Opal[/name_f] [name_f]Ravenna[/name_f] sounds magical and witchy in a good way

Helen [name_f]Katarina[/name_f]
I little lacklustre compared to your other combos but nice enough. [name_f]Helen[/name_f] [name_f]Catalina[/name_f]?

Cecilia [name_f]Jade[/name_f]
This has flair - modern yet classic

Thank you so much for the detailed response!

I really like some of your suggested combos. I like to have different ending sounds on the names in combos and can’t do ones where the last letter of one name is also the beginning of the next, so some of them don’t really work for me. I love [name_f]Goldie[/name_f] [name_f]Mariette[/name_f] [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] and [name_f]Saffi[/name_f] [name_f]Natasha[/name_f] [name_u]Bryn[/name_u]. I also love that you suggested [name_f]Francine[/name_f] for [name_f]Perla[/name_f] and [name_f]Paloma[/name_f]. I have [name_f]Pippa[/name_f] [name_f]Francine[/name_f] on my list, but I like [name_f]Francine[/name_f] in both of those too.

Lux [name_f]Talitha[/name_f] [name_u]Rosen[/name_u] is gorgeous, and I love so many names from your double middles. From the single middles I like Apollina [name_f]Meadow[/name_f], [name_f]Viveca[/name_f] [name_f]Maisy[/name_f], and [name_f]Evelina[/name_f] [name_u]Merritt[/name_u]. Thank you again for the suggestions and your honest and respectful reviews. It’s very helpful and I appreciate your time.

Ingrid Liora Sage, Melody Maud Vienna, and Annika Sojourn Camille are perfect! They would create a magical sibset.
I adore [name_f]Bianca[/name_f] [name_f]Larue[/name_f], [name_f]Wanda[/name_f] [name_u]Starling[/name_u], [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] [name_f]Fawn[/name_f], [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] [name_f]Electra[/name_f], [name_f]Opal[/name_f] [name_f]Ravenna[/name_f] and [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Jade[/name_f]. These names are so beautiful!! I especially love [name_f]Wanda[/name_f] [name_u]Starling[/name_u], [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] [name_f]Fawn[/name_f], [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] [name_f]Electra[/name_f] and [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Jade[/name_f] together.
[name_f]Lumi[/name_f] [name_u]Nightingale[/name_u], [name_f]Lois[/name_f] [name_f]Angelica[/name_f] and [name_f]Helen[/name_f] [name_f]Katarina[/name_f] are really nice options too.

Thank you so much! I am moving some of these up my list, so I appreciate the help.
