Style Match Help! Classic vs Modern

[GU1]

This is sort of hypothetical, but we may end up needing to use these in real life someday, so…what are some ‘crossover’ names we could use that match both of our styles? Mine is classic, nickname-heavy, more storybook, whereas my bf’s is more modern, clean, and slightly 2000s.

Names DBF likes:

[name_f]Crystal[/name_f], [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], [name_f]Addison[/name_f]
[name_m]Micah[/name_m], [name_m]Zayne[/name_m], [name_m]Ryan[/name_m]

My favourites:

[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], [name_f]Molly[/name_f], [name_f]June[/name_f]
[name_m]Alfred[/name_m], [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m], [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]

Note: [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] would be [name_f]Bess[/name_f], [name_m]Alfred[/name_m] “[name_m]Alfie[/name_m]”, [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] “[name_m]Bennie[/name_m]”, and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] “[name_m]Teddy[/name_m]”.

Any and all suggestions welcome thank you berries!

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps

[atomicginge]

If the nickname is [name_f]Bess[/name_f] for [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], that’s off the card for me. Bess/Bessie just make me think of a huge cow, sorry. Here’s some other suggestions though to hopefully align your different tastes:

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], [name_f]Clara[/name_f], [name_f]Vivian[/name_f], [name_f]Willow[/name_f], [name_f]Audrey[/name_f] or [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Lucas[/name_m], [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m], [name_m]Elias[/name_m], [name_m]Julian[/name_m], [name_m]Wesley[/name_m] or [name_m]Henry[/name_m]

[name_f][/name_f]

A few more that directly touch on both of your lists:
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]June[/name_f] is your classic favorite. [name_f]Juno[/name_f] is a simple, modern option that keeps the [name_m]Ju[/name_m]- sound and is short and clean.
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Theodore[/name_m], your favorite. Nickname [name_m]Theo[/name_m] is a sleek, modern favorite that is both classic and clean.
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Aurora[/name_f], your boyfriend’s favorite. Nickname [name_m]Rory[/name_m] is short, spunky, and feels storybook-sweet.

How about combining them?

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Micah[/name_m] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m]

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Or[/name_m] if Siblings I like:
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Aurora[/name_f], [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] and [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]

[kachenka]

I’m thinking an uncommon vintage name for that has history for you, but has clean, modern sounds for him. [name_m]Or[/name_m] you might find middle ground with a modern leaning name that and has a sweet, classic nickname for you.
