Thoughts on following combos:

Thoughts on following combos, have been thinking of updating my list for a while.

[name_f]Cecily[/name_f] [name_f]Amoret[/name_f]
[name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] [name_f]Nimue[/name_f] - nn [name_f]Anya[/name_f]
[name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] [name_f]Paige[/name_f] - nn [name_f]Sena[/name_f]
[name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Eilonwy[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Rosina[/name_f]
[name_f]Blanchefleur[/name_f] [name_f]Amy[/name_f] - they are kind of both historic names, [name_f]Blanchefleur[/name_f] comes from the legend and [name_f]Amy[/name_f] is medieval name.
[name_u]Romilly[/name_u] [name_f]Bridget[/name_f] - nn [name_f]Milly[/name_f]
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] [name_f]Delyth[/name_f]
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]
[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] [name_f]Carys[/name_f]
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Elaine[/name_f] - nn Fliss
[name_f]Freya[/name_f] [name_f]Madeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Giselle[/name_f] [name_f]Morwenna[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_f]Melusine[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] [name_f]Dulcie[/name_f] - nn Sibby/Zibby from two consonant in [name_f]Isabella[/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Idony[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] [name_f]Celia[/name_f] - I like this better than [name_f]Celia[/name_f] [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f]

[name_u]Love[/name_u]

I personally love both names individually and in this combo

[name_f]Cecily[/name_f] [name_f]Amoret[/name_f]
[name_u]Romilly[/name_u] [name_f]Bridget[/name_f]
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] [name_f]Delyth[/name_f]
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] [name_f]Celia[/name_f]

Like

One of the names in the combo I don’t gel with, or feel meh about, but the combo flows well.

[name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] [name_f]Nimue[/name_f]
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Eilonwy[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Rosina[/name_f]
[name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] [name_f]Carys[/name_f]
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Elaine[/name_f]
[name_f]Freya[/name_f] [name_f]Madeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Giselle[/name_f] [name_f]Morwenna[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_f]Melusine[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] [name_f]Dulcie[/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Idony[/name_f]

Lose

Something feels off, the names jar stylistically or soundwise together.

Blanchfleur [name_f]Amy[/name_f] - you’ve explained where you sit with these two names. I find [name_f]Amy[/name_f] so tied to my 80’s 90’s UK childhood that I can’t have it sit comfortably next to Blanchfleur. Put this down to a personal association thing :slight_smile:

[name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] [name_f]Paige[/name_f]

the decision process with [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]!

I was on the fence about liking or losing [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]! I think [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] sits as an 80’s and 90’s name for me, and Violet’s era sandwiches Stephanie’s, being vintage one side and vintage-revival the other! I came down on the ‘like’ side after some soul-searching!

love:
[name_f]Cecily[/name_f] [name_f]Amoret[/name_f]
[name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] [name_f]Nimue[/name_f] “Anya” - so beautiful!
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] [name_f]Delyth[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] [name_f]Dulcie[/name_f] “Sibby/Zibby”
[name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] [name_f]Celia[/name_f]

like:
[name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] - nms, like for you.
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Eilonwy[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Rosina[/name_f]
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] - nms, feels very safe compared to some of your other combos, but like for you!
[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] [name_f]Carys[/name_f]
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Elaine[/name_f] “Fliss”
[name_f]Freya[/name_f] [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] - would love to see [name_f]Freya[/name_f] with a more whimsical middle, like some of your other combos. [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] fits nicely, though.
[name_f]Giselle[/name_f] [name_f]Morwenna[/name_f] - both are nms, but they go nicely together.
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_f]Melusine[/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Idony[/name_f]

other:
[name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] [name_f]Paige[/name_f] “Sena” - these seem too different in style. I like [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f], but [name_f]Paige[/name_f] feels dull next to it. in terms of sound, it’s a solid combo.

[name_f]Blanchefleur[/name_f] [name_f]Amy[/name_f] - [name_f]Blanchefleur[/name_f] is lovely! [name_f]Amy[/name_f] is sweet, but doesn’t sit that well in terms of style, as mentioned by previous poster, and the flow isn’t the best, either. perhaps [name_f]Amy[/name_f] [name_f]Blanchefleur[/name_f]?

[name_u]Romilly[/name_u] [name_f]Bridget[/name_f] “Milly” - [name_u]Romilly[/name_u] feels so cool and spunky, where [name_f]Bridget[/name_f] is… not. [name_f]Milly[/name_f] [name_f]Bridget[/name_f] works better in terms of style.

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

Here are my thoughts-

[name_f]Cecily[/name_f] Amoret-Cecily is cheerful & different but not too out there. I like it! I’m not sure how I feel about [name_f]Amoret[/name_f], but this combo flows very nicely.

[name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] Nimue-Neither name is quite my style, but I find the combo intriguing none the less. [name_u]Love[/name_u] the nn [name_f]Anya[/name_f] though. Very romantic & spunky at the same time.

[name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] Paige-Hm. I think that I like this spelling of [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f]. I still can’t get into the name, but no good reason why. [name_f]Sena[/name_f] is an interesting nn choice. [name_f]Paige[/name_f] is kind of blah in my opinion. Especially w/such a fancy name like Serephina.

[name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] Violet-This combo flows well & [name_f]Violet[/name_f] is darling. [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] feels super dated though. I can’t get into it, but it’s not a terrible name.

[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] Eilonwy-Ooh, that’s dreamy. I don’t usually like [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] that much, but mostly because it’s hard to say. This combo is gorgeous though.

[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] Rosina-Rosina doesn’t do much for me, but it’s nice enough. [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]. It’s quiet & smart & classic & lovable.

[name_f]Blanchefleur[/name_f] Amy-Hm. This would flow better the other way around & [name_f]Amy[/name_f] is much more approachable as a fn.

[name_u]Romilly[/name_u] Bridget-Ooh, cute! This is fun & unexpected.

[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] Delyth-I’m not huge into either name, but it’s not awful. Maybe a bit ‘d’ heavy.

[name_f]Delilah[/name_f] Charlotte-It’s fine, but feels kind of pedestrian for your list! [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] reminds me of a snobby girl, & I hear it a ton in my area.

[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] Carys-That’s a nice combo. I don’t love [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f], but it’s pleasant & [name_f]Carys[/name_f] is an interesting mn.

[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] Elaine-I love [name_f]Felicity[/name_f]! It’s so cheerful & friendly & just a little posh. [name_f]Elaine[/name_f] isn’t my favorite, but this is a good combo. Fliss is fun.

[name_f]Freya[/name_f] Madeline-That’s beautiful. Simple & elegant & not too over done.

[name_f]Giselle[/name_f] Morwenna-I feel like I should like [name_f]Giselle[/name_f]. I like [name_f]Gigi[/name_f] & [name_f]Ellie[/name_f]. [name_m]Just[/name_m] can’t get into it. [name_u]Love[/name_u] the [name_f]Morwenna[/name_f] part though.

[name_f]Juliet[/name_f] Melusine-Hm. I don’t think I like the sound of [name_f]Melusine[/name_f], but [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] is elegant & romantic yet light. Very nice.

[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] Dulcie-Not a fan of [name_f]Dulcie[/name_f], but love [name_f]Isabella[/name_f]. Sibby/Zibby is fun! I never though of those. I really like the nns [name_u]Izzy[/name_u] & Ibbi though.

[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] Idony-Well, [name_f]Idony[/name_f] looks too much like idiot mixed w/Irony. So, I’m not sure that I love that part. [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] is cute enough. A little clunky, but also pretty charming. [name_m]Just[/name_m] because it reminds me of the book/movie character.

[name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] Celia-Okay, I do prefer [name_f]Celia[/name_f] [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f]. But I love [name_f]Celia[/name_f]! [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] is neat though. Especially if you like the sweet nn of [name_f]Rosie[/name_f].

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps. :slight_smile:
