This might be long, so I apologise, and of course feel free to skip over.
I’ve been feeling a little uninspired by my names recently, so I’ve been rethinking my longer list and I was wondering if I could get some thoughts on a couple of names? [name_m]Just[/name_m] yes/no, favourite or least favourite is great!!
Some combos in consideration:
[name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Luella[/name_f]/[name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] (I love [name_f]Luella[/name_f], but is it weird if my cousin has a [name_f]Lu[/name_f]- name?)
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f]/[name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] (love [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f], but I’m not sure [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f] quite fits my style)
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_u]Piper[/name_u]/[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u]/[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Orla[/name_f]
[name_f]Anouk[/name_f] [name_f]Viola[/name_f]/[name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Anouk[/name_f]
[name_f]Cecily[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f]
[name_f]Cornelia[/name_f] [name_f]Heidi[/name_f]
[name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]
[name_f]Mavis[/name_f] [name_f]Adele[/name_f] (I like a lot of [name_m]Ad[/name_m]- names but again, is it weird if my brother has an [name_m]Ad[/name_m]- name and I don’t like honours?)
Additionally, I’ve made a top 50 if anyone wants to put some combos together! No pressure though

Thanks for reading and thank you so much for any comments!
I really like [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_u]Piper[/name_u], its spunky yet sweet. [name_f]Mavis[/name_f] [name_f]Adele[/name_f] is my second favorite from your list.
What about [name_f]Heidi[/name_f] [name_f]Winona[/name_f]?
@river_dweller thank you!! I love [name_f]Heidi[/name_f] [name_f]Winona[/name_f]! I’d never have thought to put them together but I like it a lot! Thank you again!!
@adelina_[name_f]Sophia[/name_f] thank you!! I love a lot of these especially [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f], [name_f]Acacia[/name_f] [name_f]Polly[/name_f] (loving this - never saw them together but really liking it), [name_f]Astoria[/name_f] Brontë, [name_f]Nadia[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] (! [name_u]Love[/name_u] this), [name_f]Sarai[/name_f] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f]
[name_f]Elara[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], [name_f]Effie[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] and [name_f]Nell[/name_f] [name_f]Acacia[/name_f]!!! Thank you so much
[name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Luella[/name_f], [name_f]Cecily[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f], and [name_f]Mavis[/name_f] [name_f]Adela[/name_f] are lovely. I don’t think it’s weird if your cousin has an [name_f]Lu[/name_f]- name unless it’s the same name, it’s also only a middle name, so it’s not too big of a deal. I also don’t think it’s weird if your brother has an [name_m]Ad[/name_m]- name, as I’m sure they are very different. Here are some suggestions:
I live [name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Anouk[/name_f], [name_f]Cecily[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f] and [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Orla[/name_f]. I don’t think it’s weird at all using [name_f]Luella[/name_f] - it’s only a middle name, and not even the same name. Some combos:
@sarah11 thank you for the thoughts and the names! They’re lovely!!
I love [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] [name_f]Clara[/name_f] (love these together!!), [name_f]Viviana[/name_f] [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] (I’ve never used [name_f]Viviana[/name_f] as a first before - I like it here) [name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f], [name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], [name_f]Romilly[/name_f] [name_f]Opal[/name_f], [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Mina[/name_f] and [name_f]Eliora[/name_f] [name_f]Tansy[/name_f]!
@hannah! Thank you!!! I really like [name_f]Elara[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f], [name_f]Winona[/name_f] [name_f]Mavis[/name_f] (liking this a lot), [name_f]Margot[/name_f] [name_f]Adela[/name_f], [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] [name_u]Seren[/name_u] and [name_f]Viviana[/name_f] Brontë!!
I like [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_u]Piper[/name_u] and [name_f]Mavis[/name_f] a lot. [name_f]Mavis[/name_f] [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] sounds like a nice pairing to me. I noticed you had [name_u]Wren[/name_u] as a middle name. [name_u]Raven[/name_u], [name_f]Robyn[/name_f], and [name_f]Paloma[/name_f] (meaning is [name_u]Dove[/name_u]) are other bird-themed names that could be pretty
From your made combos I love [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Emilia[/name_f], [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u] and [name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]
I don’t think starting letters like [name_m]Ad[/name_m]- or [name_f]Lu[/name_f]- really make it an honour name or matchy it depends on if it is like [name_f]Mia[/name_f] and [name_f]Tia[/name_f] or [name_f]Elara[/name_f] and [name_f]Clara[/name_f] then that might be an issue… As for style… I don’t believe in style of names until it comes down to naming actual humanbeings… Like I wouldn’t name a child [name_f]Rosa[/name_f] and the other [name_u]Zephyr[/name_u] as the feel so distant. Middle names are another story I feel like we are allowed to play alittle in that spot.
Making Combos from your list - Using my fave names from list will make 2 combos using it as first and 2 as middle:
[name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Sarai[/name_f] / [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f] // [name_f]Heidi[/name_f] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] / [name_f]Elara[/name_f] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f] / [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Winona[/name_f] // [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] / [name_f]Nadia[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f] Brontë / [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] // [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] / [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] [name_f]Delilah[/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] / [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] // [name_f]Sarai[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] / [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Viviana[/name_f] [name_f]Jovie[/name_f] / [name_f]Viviana[/name_f] [name_f]Opal[/name_f] // [name_f]Polly[/name_f] [name_f]Viviana[/name_f] / [name_f]Margot[/name_f] [name_f]Viviana[/name_f]
I love [name_f]Cecily[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f]! Two of my favourite names!
Next favourites are [name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Luella[/name_f] and [name_f]Mavis[/name_f] [name_f]Adele[/name_f].
I prefer [name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Luella[/name_f] (I also really like [name_f]Luella[/name_f], I wouldn’t worry about the cousin with a [name_f]Lu[/name_f] name, especially in the middle)
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] - I think the softness of [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] is more complimentary
All [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] combos are good, I prefer [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Orla[/name_f] a little more.
[name_f]Anouk[/name_f] [name_f]Viola[/name_f]
Your list is amazing! I could put [name_f]Florence[/name_f] as a middle for half of them and I would be happy
Some more oroginal combos:
[name_f]Jovie[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f]
[name_f]Romilly[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_f]Elodie[/name_f]
[name_f]Cleo[/name_f] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u]
[name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Mavis[/name_f]
[name_f]Ginevra[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]
@gabriellenz Thank you for your thoughts! I think you’re right about [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Emilia[/name_f]!
I really like [name_f]Jovie[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f], [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] and [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Mavis[/name_f] (love this a lot!) Funnily enough, Ginvera [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] is already on my list!
@lysia thank you for your thoughts and your suggestions. I really like [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f], [name_f]Heidi[/name_f] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f], [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Winona[/name_f], [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] (!! like this a lot!), [name_f]Viviana[/name_f] [name_f]Jovie[/name_f], [name_f]Polly[/name_f] [name_f]Viviana[/name_f] and [name_f]Viviana[/name_f] [name_f]Opal[/name_f]! Funnily enough, [name_f]Sarai[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] is already on my list too!
[name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Luella[/name_f]- I love this! Vintage charm but really wearable today
[name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]- I like it, but much prefer [name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Luella[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f]- I really like this one as well. [name_f]Iris[/name_f] is lovely and [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f] sounds brilliant with it. I think matching style doesn’t matter as much for a middle so it’s the place to go for something spectacular like [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f].
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Emilia[/name_f]- Also love, [name_f]Iris[/name_f] works really well with these more frilly middles
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_u]Piper[/name_u]/[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u]/[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Orla[/name_f]- I like them all but [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u] is my favourite
[name_f]Anouk[/name_f] [name_f]Viola[/name_f]/[name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Anouk[/name_f]- [name_f]Anouk[/name_f] is one I want to like but I’m just not sure about it. [name_f]Viola[/name_f] is pretty though and I think [name_f]Anouk[/name_f] makes a nice middle for it
[name_f]Cecily[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f]- lovely
[name_f]Cornelia[/name_f] [name_f]Heidi[/name_f]- like this one too
[name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]- I prefer [name_f]Iris[/name_f] to [name_f]Ida[/name_f] but it sounds good with [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]
[name_f]Mavis[/name_f] [name_f]Adele[/name_f]- I think [name_f]Mavis[/name_f] would go better with a longer middle, say [name_f]Mavis[/name_f] [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] but I do like it
I think if the names are the same or an obvious variation (eg. [name_f]Louise[/name_f] and [name_f]Louisa[/name_f]) then they might assume it’s an honour name but if the similarity is literally just the first sound (eg. [name_f]Louise[/name_f]/[name_f]Lucy[/name_f] and [name_f]Luella[/name_f] or [name_m]Adrian[/name_m]/[name_m]Adam[/name_m] and [name_f]Adele[/name_f]) then I don’t think anyone will give it a second thought.
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Emilia[/name_f], [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u] & [name_f]Mavis[/name_f] [name_f]Adele[/name_f] are my favourites of the combos you listed!
Some other combo ideas using your top 50 (bolded are my favourites!);

@celes thank you!! I really like [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], [name_f]Ilaria[/name_f] [name_u]Hero[/name_u], [name_f]Nadia[/name_f] [name_u]Seren[/name_u], [name_f]Astoria[/name_f] [name_f]Mavis[/name_f] and [name_f]Heidi[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]!
I’m going to close this thread now, as I’ve decided on the top 15 for now! Thanks again to everyone who kindly helped
