Thoughts on my current shortlist and combos?

Girl Names
1

I’m planning quite far ahead here, but I have a shortlist of names and combos that I want to use in the future. It’d mean a lot if y’all gave me some recommendations/comments/thoughts on combos or names:

Ophélie [name_f]Alice[/name_f] “[name_f]Fifi[/name_f]”
[name_f]Freja[/name_f] [name_f]Madeline[/name_f]
Haelyn [name_f]Alessia[/name_f] “Hael” or “[name_u]Lyn[/name_u]”
[name_m]Maddox[/name_m] [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] “[name_f]Maddy[/name_f]”
[name_f]Lyra[/name_f] [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f]
Carlile [name_f]Leilani[/name_f] “[name_f]Carli[/name_f]” , “Lile” , “[name_f]Lila[/name_f]”
[name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_f]Camila[/name_f]
[name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Adelyn[/name_f] “[name_f]Helen[/name_f]” or “[name_f]Lena[/name_f]”
[name_f]Elowen[/name_f] [name_f]Calliope[/name_f] “[name_f]El[/name_f]” , “[name_f]Elli[/name_f]” , “[name_m]Eli[/name_m]”
[name_f]Faith[/name_f] [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f] “[name_f]Fay[/name_f]”
[name_f]Bronwyn[/name_f] [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] “[name_f]Wynnie[/name_f]”
[name_f]Magdalena[/name_f] [name_u]Jordan[/name_u] “[name_f]Magda[/name_f]” or “[name_f]Lena[/name_f]”
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]October[/name_f] “[name_f]Lil[/name_f]”
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f] “[name_f]Lydie[/name_f]”
[name_f]Taya[/name_f] [name_u]Jayden[/name_u] “[name_u]Tay[/name_u]”
Bluejay [name_f]Rose[/name_f] “[name_u]Blue[/name_u]” or “[name_u]Jay[/name_u]”
[name_u]Jayden[/name_u] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] “[name_u]Jay[/name_u]”

Haelyn is a honour name to my great-aunt, who recently passed away.

Carlile is a tribute to a huge inspiration of mine, [name_m]Austin[/name_m] Carlile, the lead singer of Of Mice & Men.

What do you think of this list?

[name_u]Love[/name_u] Bluejay [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] [name_f]Calliope[/name_f]. What about [name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_f]Helena[/name_f] or [name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f]

Ophélie [name_f]Alice[/name_f] “[name_f]Fifi[/name_f]” - I prefer the sound of [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] to the sound of Ophélie. [name_f]Fifi[/name_f] is adorable and I love the classic [name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Freja[/name_f] [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] - I really like this combo. [name_f]Freja[/name_f] feels sleeker and cooler than [name_f]Freya[/name_f], and I like the simple, classic [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] in the middle
Haelyn [name_f]Alessia[/name_f] “Hael” or “[name_u]Lyn[/name_u]” - [name_f]Alessia[/name_f] is gorgeous, and it flows well with Haelyn. I’d probably go with [name_u]Haley[/name_u] as the nickname, because [name_u]Lyn[/name_u] feels old-fashioned and Hael just doesn’t appeal
[name_m]Maddox[/name_m] [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] “[name_f]Maddy[/name_f]” - [name_m]Maddox[/name_m] is all boy to me, but [name_f]Maddy[/name_f] is a cute nickname. [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] is a pretty middle name. I think [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] [name_m]Maddox[/name_m] would flow better
[name_f]Lyra[/name_f] [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] - not a fan of [name_f]Lyra[/name_f], because it is so close in sound to liar. [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] is elegant
Carlile [name_f]Leilani[/name_f] “[name_f]Carli[/name_f]” , “Lile” , “[name_f]Lila[/name_f]” - Carlile feels a little too boyish to me, would you be prepared to use it on a boy to honour the singer instead. I also think the sounds of ‘lile’ and ‘leil’ are too similar this close to each other
[name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_f]Camila[/name_f] - this is so unexpected and elegant and intriguing. I don’t usually like [name_f]Arwen[/name_f], but it works perfectly here with [name_f]Camila[/name_f], the combo sounds fab together!
[name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Adelyn[/name_f] “[name_f]Helen[/name_f]” or “[name_f]Lena[/name_f]” - I think the ‘len’ and ‘lyn’ sounds of [name_f]Helena[/name_f] and [name_f]Adelyn[/name_f] are too similar. I like [name_f]Lena[/name_f] as a nickname, but if you’re going to use [name_f]Helen[/name_f], I would just use the name [name_f]Helen[/name_f].
[name_f]Elowen[/name_f] [name_f]Calliope[/name_f] “[name_f]El[/name_f]” , “[name_f]Elli[/name_f]” , “[name_m]Eli[/name_m]” - I really like this combo. [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] is gorgeous and so is [name_f]Calliope[/name_f] and they sound stunning together
[name_f]Faith[/name_f] [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f] “[name_f]Fay[/name_f]” - this feels very country-music-y for some reason. Both names are sweet and they sound pretty together
[name_f]Bronwyn[/name_f] [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] “[name_f]Wynnie[/name_f]” - I’m not a fan of either of these names. I think [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] [name_f]Bronwyn[/name_f] would flow better
[name_f]Magdalena[/name_f] [name_u]Jordan[/name_u] “[name_f]Magda[/name_f]” or “[name_f]Lena[/name_f]” - [name_u]Jordan[/name_u] is all boy where I live. [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f] is strong and feminine though. I like nickname [name_f]Lena[/name_f], but [name_f]Magda[/name_f] feels dated
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]October[/name_f] “[name_f]Lil[/name_f]” - I don’t think [name_f]Lily[/name_f] needs a nickname, it’s a beautiful name as it is. [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]October[/name_f] is pretty and unexpected
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f] “[name_f]Lydie[/name_f]” - a sweet and vintage-chic combo
[name_f]Taya[/name_f] [name_u]Jayden[/name_u] “[name_u]Tay[/name_u]” - really not a fan of this. [name_u]Tay[/name_u] and [name_u]Jay[/name_u] are too similar this close together. [name_u]Jayden[/name_u] feels all boy to me and [name_f]Taya[/name_f] feels made up
Bluejay [name_f]Rose[/name_f] “[name_u]Blue[/name_u]” or “[name_u]Jay[/name_u]” - I prefer Bluejay as a boy’s middle, it feels more masculine to me. Bluejay [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is so unexpected and fabulously nature-y though that I actually kind of like it!
[name_u]Jayden[/name_u] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] “[name_u]Jay[/name_u]” - I really dislike [name_u]Jayden[/name_u]. [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] is lovely though!

Ophélie [name_f]Alice[/name_f] “[name_f]Fifi[/name_f]”- I love how classy and elegant this sounds, but it’s a bit heavy.

[name_f]Freja[/name_f] [name_f]Madeline[/name_f]- I generally prefer the [name_f]Freya[/name_f] spelling, but it’s feminine and fun, and [name_f]Freya[/name_f] is a lovely strong name.

Haelyn [name_f]Alessia[/name_f] “Hael” or “[name_u]Lyn[/name_u]”- Haelyn looks like a made-up jumble of sounds to me, sorry. What about [name_u]Haley[/name_u] [name_f]Alessia[/name_f]?

[name_m]Maddox[/name_m] [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] “[name_f]Maddy[/name_f]”- I can’t get into [name_m]Maddox[/name_m] on a girl at all, it sounds so harsh. [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] “[name_f]Maddy[/name_f]”?

[name_f]Lyra[/name_f] [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f]- this is such a gorgeous, lyrical, feminine name and I love the magical vibe it gives off.

Carlile [name_f]Leilani[/name_f] “[name_f]Carli[/name_f]” , “Lile” , “[name_f]Lila[/name_f]”- there are a lot of Ls in this combo. What about just [name_f]Carly[/name_f] [name_f]Leilani[/name_f]? [name_f]Carly[/name_f] works perfectly fine as a full name, though I’d spell it like that rather than [name_f]Carli[/name_f] to avoid spelling issues.

[name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_f]Camila[/name_f]- I love the fantasylike, tough but feminine vibe I get from [name_f]Arwen[/name_f], but prefer [name_f]Camilla[/name_f] to [name_f]Camila[/name_f].

[name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Adelyn[/name_f] “[name_f]Helen[/name_f]” or “[name_f]Lena[/name_f]”- both names are nice separately, but the vintage-classic [name_f]Helena[/name_f] and modern, trendy [name_f]Adelyn[/name_f] don’t quite seem to match. [name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] or [name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Adele[/name_f] would be lovely.

[name_f]Elowen[/name_f] [name_f]Calliope[/name_f] “[name_f]El[/name_f]” , “[name_f]Elli[/name_f]” , “[name_m]Eli[/name_m]”- I love how interesting, spunky and storybooklike both these names are.

[name_f]Faith[/name_f] [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f] “[name_f]Fay[/name_f]”- it flows well and is a nice name overall, but I’m not a huge fan of either name really.

[name_f]Bronwyn[/name_f] [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] “[name_f]Wynnie[/name_f]”- I love both [name_f]Bronwyn[/name_f] and [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f], and would never have thought to put them together. The frillier sounds in [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] and stronger ones in [name_f]Bronwyn[/name_f] are a nice contrast.

[name_f]Magdalena[/name_f] [name_u]Jordan[/name_u] “[name_f]Magda[/name_f]” or “[name_f]Lena[/name_f]”- not a fan of either name, sorry, and the styles clash like with [name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Adelyn[/name_f]. [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f] [name_f]Jade[/name_f] perhaps?

[name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]October[/name_f] “[name_f]Lil[/name_f]”- [name_f]Lily[/name_f] is really sweet, and I love the idea of using [name_f]October[/name_f] as a middle, but I wouldn’t use [name_f]October[/name_f] with another word name, it sounds like a description (a lily in [name_f]October[/name_f]?).

[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f] “[name_f]Lydie[/name_f]”- two lovely, sweet, classic names. It’s not the most exciting combination, but it’s timeless and would wear well on anyone.

[name_f]Taya[/name_f] [name_u]Jayden[/name_u] “[name_u]Tay[/name_u]”- not a fan of [name_u]Jayden[/name_u] on a girl. [name_f]Taya[/name_f] is pretty but I think you’d have mix-ups on pronunciation (tay-ah, tie-ah).

Bluejay [name_f]Rose[/name_f] “[name_u]Blue[/name_u]” or “[name_u]Jay[/name_u]”- I don’t think Bluejay works too well as a name, sorry. and if it was I’d think boy, since [name_u]Jay[/name_u] is a boy’s name. [name_u]Blue[/name_u] could work as a name, though probably better as a middle. And again, I’m not sure I’d put two word names together.

[name_u]Jayden[/name_u] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] “[name_u]Jay[/name_u]”- as above. [name_f]Jade[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] or [name_u]Hayden[/name_u] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] would be fun and lively though.

You’ve got a huge mix of styles here! I’d personally pick sibling names that are similar styles/have a common thread:

[name_f]Freja[/name_f] [name_f]Madeline[/name_f], [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f], [name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_f]Camila[/name_f] OR [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] [name_f]Calliope[/name_f] OR [name_f]Bronwyn[/name_f] [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] (a mix of familiar and unusual names, clearly feminine, not super classic but not totally of-the-moment either)

Ophélie [name_f]Alice[/name_f], [name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Adelyn[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]October[/name_f] (mix of very classic and more unusual names)

[name_f]Faith[/name_f] [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f], [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f] (classic, familiar names that are easy to spell and pronounce- and subtly religious, if that’s meaningful to you)

[name_m]Maddox[/name_m] [name_f]Eliana[/name_f], [name_u]Jayden[/name_u] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] (masculine, trendy firsts and long, frilly, feminine middles)

[name_f]Magdalena[/name_f] [name_u]Jordan[/name_u], [name_f]Taya[/name_f] [name_u]Jayden[/name_u] (clearly feminine firsts, masculine/unisex middles- though [name_u]Jordan[/name_u] and [name_u]Jayden[/name_u] would be quite matchy for middles)

Haelyn [name_f]Alessia[/name_f], Carlile [name_f]Leilani[/name_f], Bluejay [name_f]Rose[/name_f] (very unusual, unheard of firsts. [name_f]Alessia[/name_f] and [name_f]Leilani[/name_f] are both in the unfamiliar but not unheard of category to me.)

[name_u]Love[/name_u]
[name_f]Lyra[/name_f] [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] - I prefer this to [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f]

You can really only use one of the imo, as they are too close for sisters, but I do love all of them
[name_f]Elowen[/name_f] [name_f]Calliope[/name_f] “[name_f]El[/name_f]” , “[name_f]Elli[/name_f]” , “[name_m]Eli[/name_m]”
[name_f]Bronwyn[/name_f] [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] “[name_f]Wynnie[/name_f]”

Like
Ophélie [name_f]Alice[/name_f] “[name_f]Fifi[/name_f]” - I love that someone else is considering the nn fifi but I don’t see it fitting well with a lot of your other choices.
[name_f]Freja[/name_f] [name_f]Madeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Adelyn[/name_f] “[name_f]Helen[/name_f]” or “[name_f]Lena[/name_f]”
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f] “[name_f]Lydie[/name_f]”
[name_f]Magdalena[/name_f] [name_u]Jordan[/name_u] “[name_f]Magda[/name_f]” or “[name_f]Lena[/name_f]”

Meh
[name_f]Faith[/name_f] [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f] “[name_f]Fay[/name_f]”
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]October[/name_f] “[name_f]Lil[/name_f]”

Dislike
Haelyn [name_f]Alessia[/name_f] “Hael” or “[name_u]Lyn[/name_u]”
[name_m]Maddox[/name_m] [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] “[name_f]Maddy[/name_f]”
[name_u]Jayden[/name_u] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] “[name_u]Jay[/name_u]”
Carlile [name_f]Leilani[/name_f] “[name_f]Carli[/name_f]” , “Lile” , “[name_f]Lila[/name_f]”
Bluejay [name_f]Rose[/name_f] “[name_u]Blue[/name_u]” or “[name_u]Jay[/name_u]” - I would definitely consider using a non-word name for the middle with this one
[name_f]Taya[/name_f] [name_u]Jayden[/name_u] “[name_u]Tay[/name_u]”

I would go for a sib-set of [name_f]Lyra[/name_f], [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] and [name_f]Briony[/name_f] (not on your list but it is one of my gp when someone likes both [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] and [name_f]Bronwen[/name_f])
