[name_f]Heaven[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f]
Ea [name_u]Maria[/name_u]
[name_f]Tatiana[/name_f] [name_u]Bell[/name_u]
[name_u]Dakota[/name_u] [name_f]Air[/name_f]
[name_f]Aisling[/name_f] [name_f]Darach[/name_f]

[name_f]Jennifer[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f]
[name_f]Leah[/name_f] [name_f]Susanna[/name_f]

intriguing and lovely list :slight_smile:

[name_f]Dolores[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Linnéa[/name_f] - this has flair and distinction. [name_f]My[/name_f] only doubt is that [name_f]Dolores[/name_f] is linked to [name_f]Mary[/name_f], and the name would mean pain/sorrows, bitterness and lime, which is, very bitter in vibe?

[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_u]Leigh[/name_u] - unexpected together and fun to say

[name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] - solid and classic (and very similar to my name :grin:)

[name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_u]Louise[/name_u] - simple and strong

[name_f]Zelda[/name_f] [name_u]Marie[/name_u] - balanced and bright with a hint of sharpness

[name_f]Audrina[/name_f] [name_u]Rain[/name_u] - whimsical and warm but with kick

[name_f]Heaven[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] - balanced and powerful. [name_f]Heaven[/name_f] is a bit much for me though

Ea [name_u]Maria[/name_u] - is Ea said ee-uh?

[name_f]Tatiana[/name_f] [name_u]Bell[/name_u] - intriguing and ‘story-book’ in vibe. But the spelling reminds me a teeeeny bit of Taco Bell…

[name_u]Dakota[/name_u] [name_f]Air[/name_f] - intriguing and magical - not sure I’d use it without Native American heritage though

[name_f]Aisling[/name_f] [name_f]Darach[/name_f] - ooh, this is dreamy, earthy and cool

[name_f]Molly[/name_f] Tree - I don’t love the rhyme of it, if I’m honest. Tree is an intriguing middle, but I’d pair it with something else? [name_f]Molly[/name_f] [name_u]Oak[/name_u], [name_f]Molly[/name_f] [name_u]Pine[/name_u], [name_f]Molly[/name_f] [name_f]Acacia[/name_f], [name_f]Molly[/name_f] [name_u]Aspen[/name_u] came to mind. [name_u]Or[/name_u] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] Tree, [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] Tree or [name_f]Clara[/name_f] Tree?

[name_f]Rebecca[/name_f] [name_f]Winona[/name_f] - fun to say and interestingly balanced

[name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_u]Blue[/name_u] - balanced and fun. I’d always want to call her [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_u]Blue[/name_u] though, as a double

[name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] - I find the sounds of -ma and [name_f]Mae[/name_f] run into each other a bit

[name_f]Blodwen[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] - very bold and cool

[name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] [name_u]Elm[/name_u] - cute and sassy

[name_f]Siobhan[/name_f] [name_u]Lee[/name_u] - I have bad associations with [name_f]Siobhan[/name_f] and said person had a surname similar to [name_u]Lee[/name_u] so not sure I can judge this appropriately

[name_u]Julie[/name_u] [name_f]Faith[/name_f] - light and unexpected

[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Hope[/name_f] - gorgeous and warm

[name_f]Hel[/name_f] [name_u]Hendrix[/name_u] - sort of rock-star. Not sure I’d love to be called [name_f]Hel[/name_f] full time though

[name_f]Cáit[/name_f] [name_f]Eileen[/name_f] - charming and balanced

[name_u]Lux[/name_u] [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] - beautiful, light and lovely with spark

[name_f]Alanis[/name_f] [name_u]Lennon[/name_u] - very musical in vibe

[name_u]Shannon[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] - it’s okay. You don’t hear [name_u]Shannon[/name_u] too often

[name_f]Jennifer[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] - quite nice. Flows well

[name_f]Leah[/name_f] [name_f]Susanna[/name_f] - it has a brightness to it

Thank you for your thoughts! And yes, Ea is pronounced Ee-uh

Thank you for your opinions!

Dolores Mary Linnéa - Dolores is such a stunning name, classic with a contemporary vibe. Despite the “sorrow” meaning it was also historically considered a seductive name and “the height of sensuality”, which gives it some positive connotations. It also had the meaning of “happy times were to come”. Paired with Linnéa it’s absolutely gorgeous, I’d personally shorten it to Dolores Linnéa, the Mary seems tacked on.

Cecilia Leigh - The assonance of the “Li/Leigh” sound in both names might make this pairing too matchy. I also think both names together sound old. It could be livened up by some of the more modern/spunkier/rarely used names on your list: Cecilia Rain, Cecilia Elm, Cecilia Blue, Cecilia Winona, Cecilia Alanis, Cecelia Lennon, Cecilia Shannon.

Zelda Marie - Stunning. Magical. Classic.

Audrina Rain - STUNNING! Fave on the list. Classic and whimsical, yet spunky and bold. Truly a statement making name.

Heaven Alexandra - So beautiful and breezy. Love the light/virtue vibe combined with the classic name.

Ea Maria - same as Cecilia Leigh, the assonance is a little much. Using names on your list I’d pair: Ea Dolores, Ea Grace, Ea Rain, Ea Alexandra, Ea Aisling, Ea Darach, Ea Blodwen, Ea Siobhan, Ea Hendrix, Ea Anastasia, Ea Lennon, Ea Shannon, Ea Dakota.

Dakota Air - For some reason it’s not quite flowing for me. The “Air” seems like a false start (but I guess it depends on the last name it’d be paired with). If you want to keep the “Air” vibe, what about “Aira” as an alt (pr Air-ruh)? Has multiple meanings such as “the principle of life, the breathe of life, of the wind, respectable, noble…etc”.

Tatiana Bell, Grace Elizabeth, Anna Louise, Emma Mae, Phoebe Hope, Julie Faith, Leah Susanna - while these combos are cute, I think they suffer from sounding too old. Maybe paired with some of the spunkier names on your list could modernise it a bit and give it a cool juxtaposition of vintage flair with modern edge. Sarah Blue on your list is a PERFECT example of this.

Aisling Darach - pairs nicely and has a beautiful meaning.

Molly Tree - LOVE Tree. Very whimsical and gives fairy tale vibes. Flows really well with Molly, albeit short.

Rebecca Winona - beautiful.

Siobhan Lee & Blodwen Jane - spunky and cool

Bonnie Elm - I LOVE this so much! Such a statement. I can imagine a really cool, badass movie character with this name. Both names are feminine yet have this bold strength, simply beautiful.

Hel Hendrix - I see the appeal of both names individually, but as a pair, it’s not catching me for some reason. I think it’s because it ventures into the “too masculine” zone (for me, anyway). To give it some soft energy I might do: Elm Hendrix, Ea Hendrix or even Rose Hendrix, Molly Hendrix, Zelda Hendrix, Audrina Hendrix.

Cáit Eileen - Cute, very charming.

Lux Anastasia - GORGEOUS! Love the light/glow/rebirth vibes. Love that it’s a combination of classic & almost mythical yet spunky and new.

Alanis Lennon - As said above, it’s very musical. Very beautiful.

Jennifer Lily - I almost put this in the “too old” list, but both names truly have a timeless quality to it & still fits nicely in this era that we’re in. They also flow really nicely.

Edit: Noticed some typos days later. Silly autocorrect.

I’m really sorry, but [name_u]Dakota[/name_u] [name_f]Air[/name_f] sounds like an airline!

This is my favourite! I got a coup de foudre on this one, so wonderful. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
Zelda Marie and Anna Louise are nice too but Anna Louise feels a bit plain compared to the others but not necessarily negative.
The others are not really my style.
