[name_m]Hi[/name_m] berries! It’s been a while! 
I’ve been rather uninspired with my lists lately, so I’m hoping to get some thoughts on my list as it stands (I’ve recently gone through and axed everything I KNOW doesn’t bring me joy lol!), and maybe any recommendations that you think might suit me.
[name_f]Isobel[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]
[name_f]Adele[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f] [name_f]Christiana[/name_f]
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_u]Dagny[/name_u] [name_u]Louise[/name_u]
[name_f]Vera[/name_f] ________ ______ [Éliane will be one of the middles]
[name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Tirzah[/name_f] [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Ayla[/name_f] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Lærke[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]
[name_u]Tali[/name_u] [name_f]Eliora[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]
[name_f]Audrey[/name_f] [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [Daisy [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] [name_u]Antonia[/name_u]? I’m still considering reverting back to [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] nn Daisy]
[name_f]Eleni[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f], [name_f]Felicity[/name_f], some form of [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f], and [name_u]Zoe[/name_u] will make the list if I can ever find the right combo for them; [name_f]Mira[/name_f] and [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] are also maybes… but could really just use some fresh inspiration! I usually try to keep about a top 20 for each gender, so my list feels so small right now! I especially love European, Hebrew (!!!), literary-inspired, Christianity-inspired, and floral names for girls. Anyway, thoughts/recommendations?
Thank you, berries!

Isobel Aurora Grace - I adore the Isobel spelling! It’s so sleek and bright. This combo is beautiful
Adele Petra Christiana - so full of flair and snappiness
Evangeline Dagny Louise -so flowing and lovely
Vera ________ ______ [Éliane will be one of the middles] -Vera is sharp and sweet and Eliane pairs with it wonderfully
Claire Tirzah Elisabeth -so well balanced and lovely. Tirzah is great!
Ayla Lavender Jane -this is so fresh and beautiful
Eleanor Lærke Grace - i always feel a bit biased for liking this one but it is truly lovely
Tali Eliora Kate - so sparky and sweet
Audrey Cosima Jane - ooh I love this! So warm and strong
Daisy [Daisy Katherine Antonia? I’m still considering reverting back to Adelaide nn Daisy] -ooh what a tough choice -I do so like Adelaide but since Adele is on your list, I’d probably go with just Daisy -Daisy Katherine Antonia is so literary and lovely
Eleni Charlotte Jane - well balanced and beautiful in flow and feel

I’m loving [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], [name_f]Petra[/name_f], [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], [name_f]Tirzah[/name_f], [name_f]Lavender[/name_f], [name_f]Cosima[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f], and [name_f]Eleni[/name_f]! I want to love [name_f]Ayla[/name_f] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f], and it’s gorgeous in writing, but saying it aloud, my tongue gets tangled on the back to back “la” sounds. That leaves [name_f]Audrey[/name_f] [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] and [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_u]Dagny[/name_u] [name_u]Louise[/name_u] (I personally don’t care for [name_u]Louise[/name_u], but love [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] and [name_u]Dagny[/name_u] together!!) as my favorites.

I like all these. They’re very sweet names that carry a lot of character and charm. Personally, [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] seems like a stretch for the nickname [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] so I would keep it as [name_f]Daisy[/name_f].

@Greyblue - Aww, thank you, [name_f]Grace[/name_f]! I was actually thinking about somehow including [name_f]Kezia[/name_f] on here; I like her for a middle but not up front. I’d toyed with [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Kezia[/name_f] something or other but she just didn’t stick. Also LOVE [name_f]Lydia[/name_f]! I would love to find a home for her so bad. And [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] vs. Daisy… le sigh. [name_f]My[/name_f] age-old issue is that I find [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] so hard to pair up… but I’m not sure I’d use [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] without [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] as a nn? Plus, the whole [name_f]Adele[/name_f] vs. [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] thing. I’m warming to [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] [name_u]Antonia[/name_u], but am not sure I can see me with a [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] [name_u]Antonia[/name_u]? I’m still feeling her out.
@lavenderwitch - thank you, dear! [name_f]Ayla[/name_f] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] isn’t perfect, but doesn’t bother me enough to keep me from her. And thank you for the ideas! Some are not me, but I’ve been wanting a home for Magdalen(e) for a while now, and also like [name_f]Zemira[/name_f] (prefer just [name_f]Mira[/name_f] or [name_f]Zemfira[/name_f] though…). I’m also considering [name_f]Prisca[/name_f] as a middle for [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] (Aurora [name_f]Prisca[/name_f] [name_f]Irene[/name_f]? I can’t decide if I’d actually commit to it…), but I’m not a huge [name_f]Priscilla[/name_f] fan. I do find myself liking [name_f]Selah[/name_f] more and more; I do think of the [name_u]Christian[/name_u] band, but it is a lovely name and has a lovely sentiment!
@janeybaby - thanks, love! I’m glad you love my [name_f]Isobel[/name_f], [name_f]Eleni[/name_f], and [name_f]Ayla[/name_f] combos! Not sure where I heard [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] nn [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], but I’ve heard it a while back and loved it ever since. I’d consider a middle with an “S” in it to hopefully make it a bit more clear where [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] comes from, but would happily use [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] nn [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] if I could find the right combo.
