For a while now, I’ve had lots of problems with my favourite combinations. I wasn’t really happy with my original ones and decided to scrap them all (except for one, I believe, guilty pleasure combinations included). While I’ve had (and still has, to a certain extent) trouble with basically all of the combination, I admittedly have had quite the nightmare coming up with a combination for the splendid [name_m]Henry[/name_m]. [name_m]Henry[/name_m] is a name that means a lot to me, it was the name of the grandest [name_m]King[/name_m] of his time and my own personal favourite: le bon roi [name_m]Henri[/name_m] - [name_m]King[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] IV of [name_f]France[/name_f], and then it just sounds so dapper swoons [name_m]Even[/name_m] though I have tried to un-love the name (because it’s been so dreadful making combinations for it), it just doesn’t work and here I am, still loving it. So now I’m coming to you, name-genies, please help me come up with some combinations!
Combinations I have considered and scrapped:
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Antony[/name_m] [name_m]Edmund[/name_m]/[name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] [name_m]Antony[/name_m] (which I find too bland compared to my other favourite combinations, see below)
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Antony[/name_m] [name_m]Hugo[/name_m]
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Antony[/name_m] Illyrio
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Antony[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m] (LOO-ee)
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Antony[/name_m] [name_m]Valerian[/name_m]
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Archibald[/name_m] [name_m]Inigo[/name_m] (as stunning as I think this one sounds, it hurts a little since [name_m]Archibald[/name_m] name [name_m]Inigo[/name_m] has been on my list forever)
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] Illyrio
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] Ivik (EE-vik)
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m]
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] Illyrio Rumle (RUM-luh)
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]William[/name_m] [name_f]Adelin[/name_f] (too regal, even for me)
[name_m]Antony[/name_m] and [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] (personal role model and a historical figure, respectively) are names that I would love in the combination, but they definitely aren’t bare necessities. I love namesakes, historical, literate and Scandinavian names as well as some classics, I suppose. Aside from that, I’m also gonna give you my complete list of names (which basically is a major list of names that I’ve heard/read somewhere, liked and eventually written down) and if you want, you can use names from there to make the combinations but new suggestions are also very welcome.
The only requirement (sort of) is that I want the combination to be somewhat in style of my other favourite combinations:
[name_m]Amaury[/name_m] [name_m]Charles[/name_m] [name_u]Theo[/name_u]
[name_f]Cosima[/name_f] [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] [name_f]Zenobia[/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] Sága [name_f]Artemisia[/name_f]
Note: I’ve used the word ‘combination’ ten times now, I think it’s time to end the post
My darling, I love your names. I swoon!!! [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] [name_f]Zenobia[/name_f]? Someone’s a genius and it’s not me. I actually get scared at trying to make a combo for you. I love [name_m]Henry[/name_m] and [name_m]Antony[/name_m] together. [name_m]Antony[/name_m]'s pure beauty and regalness. With [name_m]Henry[/name_m] even more so. I love your [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Archibald[/name_m] [name_m]Inigo[/name_m] combo by the way, fabulous.
[name_f]Cosima[/name_f] is so pretty! I’d add some ideas and a few ones from your long list, fine?
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Archibald[/name_m] [name_m]Edmund[/name_m]
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Antony[/name_m] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] Beuaregard (probably too much but fun)
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] Illyrio [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m]
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Antony[/name_m] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m]
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m]
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Antony[/name_m] [name_m]Sigvard[/name_m]
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Clemens[/name_m] Victarion
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] [name_m]Isidore[/name_m] ([name_m]Henry[/name_m] something [name_m]Isidore[/name_m] is so magical!)
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Emrys[/name_m] [name_m]Christian[/name_m]
I love [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] [name_m]Isidore[/name_m] and [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] Lorien from those previously suggested, but [name_f]ADORE[/name_f] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Antony[/name_m] [name_m]Edmund[/name_m]. It is so regal and polished, I just can’t even express how perfect it is. [name_m]Amaury[/name_m] [name_m]Charles[/name_m] [name_u]Theo[/name_u] and [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Antony[/name_m] [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] are so amazing!
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_m]Antony[/name_m] and [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] Faramir would be other suggestions, as well as [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Philip[/name_m] Valemon - your list is incredible! Good luck - you really can’t go wrong with these names; the only problem is choosing only three of them…
@ottilie: What are you talking about? You’re basically the [name_f]Queen[/name_f] of gorgeous combinations I’m glad you like [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] [name_f]Zenobia[/name_f] because I also had quite some problems with that combo (as well as all the rest sigh). There’s literally not one of your combinations that I don’t like. I love [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Antony[/name_m] [name_m]Casimir[/name_m], [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Antony[/name_m] Eglamour (don’t think I’ve ever heard of Eglamour before, such a very beautiful name!), [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Antony[/name_m] Ravelin (that reminds me of [name_f]Adelin[/name_f] which I love but am somewhat opposed to use without [name_m]William[/name_m], so yay!), [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Antony[/name_m] [name_m]Vincent[/name_m], [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] Anarion, [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] Earendil and [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] Lorien (sounds so great). Thank you so much for all of those [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f]
@mclevine: [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] is pretty, I agree Oh, so many beautiful combinations! I love [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Archibald[/name_m] [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] (swoon), [name_m]Henry[/name_m] Illyrio [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m], [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m], [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Antony[/name_m] [name_m]Sigvard[/name_m] (I’ve been looking for somewhere to put [name_m]Sigvard[/name_m] for so long and this is basically perfect, besides if [name_m]Sigvard[/name_m] is there, [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] is also somewhat represented because “my” [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] and [name_m]Sigvard[/name_m] were brothers) and [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] [name_m]Isidore[/name_m]. [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] Beuaregard sounds so dapper, but I can’t help but thinking of [name_f]Violet[/name_f] Beauregarde from [name_m]Roald[/name_m] Dahl’s [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] and the Chocolate Factory when hearing it). Thank you very much!
@caroline147: [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] Illyrio is so great, but I’ve had a lot of doubt concerning Illyrio, mainly because Illyrio Mopatis from ASOIAF isn’t a character that I care very much for. Thank you!
@ciottolo: [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Antony[/name_m] [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] is so great and majestic, isn’t it? But don’t you think it’s somewhat flat compared to [name_m]Amaury[/name_m] [name_m]Charles[/name_m] [name_u]Theo[/name_u] and [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] [name_f]Zenobia[/name_f]? [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] Faramir and [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Philip[/name_m] Valemon are both stunning. Thank you
@boyandgirl: [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]William[/name_m] is very regal (probably has something to do with the two lovely British Princes), thank you!
Oh, I’m glad you liked some of them! Eglamour is from a medieval romance called Sir Eglamour de Artois. And one of [name_f]Julia[/name_f]'s suitors in Two Gentlemen of [name_f]Verona[/name_f]. What think’st thou of the fair Sir Eglamour? [name_f]Julia[/name_f] asks [name_f]Lucetta[/name_f].
Jee, totally forgot about this thread (this is what studying does to you, sigh), sorry!
@judyariel: I love [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Aurelian[/name_m] [name_m]Charles[/name_m], but I’m pretty set on keeping [name_m]Charles[/name_m] with [name_m]Amaury[/name_m]. [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Octavian[/name_m] [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] and [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Aurelius[/name_m] [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m] are also absolutely wonderful. And [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] [name_m]Ianto[/name_m] is lovely. Thank you so much for your combinations
@ottilie: I’ve actually never ever heard of it before (sigh, why so uncultivated, [name_f]Zelia[/name_f]? I don’t know why), it sounds smashing (and even more smashing in Danish, so yay)! Thank you for the explanation
It does sound good in Danish! Actually Danish might be the best language for Eglamour. Now we only need to hunt down [name_m]Mads[/name_m] Mikkelsen and have him say it for us… and listen… sigh.
[name_m]Mads[/name_m] should have a voice service thing where one could send in words/sentences/texts/books/textbooks for him to read aloud, that would make name enthusiasm/studying/life much better altogether
