[name_m]Hi[/name_m] berries! I was hoping to get your thoughts on the names this short list. I wish to use family names as middles. I added a few combos I like, but I admit I’m not the best with judging which sounds work best with each other. [name_m]New[/name_m] suggestions for first names, alternate middles and combos are more than welcomed!
Top first names
Amélie
[name_f]Camille[/name_f]
Éloïse
[name_f]Juliette[/name_f]
[name_f]Madeleine[/name_f]
Maélie
[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]
[name_f]Sophie[/name_f]-[name_f]Anne[/name_f]
Oh, and also, if you haven’t guessed, I’m [name_m]French[/name_m], so these names would all be pronounced the [name_m]French[/name_m] way (for example, [name_f]Jeannie[/name_f] and [name_f]Janie[/name_f] are pronounced the same in [name_m]French[/name_m])
Éloïse [name_f]Jeanette[/name_f] - the best combo
[name_f]Juliette[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f] - a little heavy on the l’s but it’s bearable
Amélie [name_f]Denise[/name_f] - a little too much “ee” sound but it’s preferable to Maélie [name_f]Denise[/name_f].
Combos that fall flat…
[name_f]Camille[/name_f] [name_f]Jeanne[/name_f] - I love [name_f]Camille[/name_f] but [name_f]Jeanne[/name_f] takes away from her beauty. What about [name_f]Camille[/name_f] [name_f]Juliette[/name_f]?
Maélie [name_f]Denise[/name_f] - I don’t like the “ee” sounds in this combo. The fn seems very childish sounding as well.
[name_f]Sophie[/name_f]-[name_f]Anne[/name_f] [name_u]Lou[/name_u] - I like [name_f]Sophie[/name_f]-[name_f]Anne[/name_f] but not with [name_u]Lou[/name_u]. What about [name_f]Sophie[/name_f]-[name_f]Anne[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f]?
Oops, seems my reply didn’t go through last night!
[name_u]Mischa[/name_u] ; Thank you for your opinion! I’m glad you like Éloïse [name_f]Jeannette[/name_f], I’m pretty sure it’s my favourite too. (I need to spell [name_f]Jeannette[/name_f] with 2 N’s since that’s how my grandmother’s name was spelt). I agree with the “L heavy” now that you mention it. Wouldn’t [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f] fall into that too, though? Ugh, I’m bad at this. [name_f]Camille[/name_f] [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] is beautiful, but I want to use a family name as MN, so how about [name_f]Camille[/name_f] [name_f]Jeannette[/name_f]?
Aym ; Thank you so much! I was worried about the “contrast” thing (I didn’t know how to explain it xD) but I guess if I’m honouring family, these combos are acceptable
Sorceress ; Thank you! So happy Éloïse [name_f]Jeannette[/name_f] is getting some love since it’s my top name as of now!
