[name_f]My[/name_f] thoughts

[name_m]Clarence[/name_m] [name_m]Thorin[/name_m] ~ [name_m]Clarence[/name_m] has this clunky retro feel that feels hipster with a Shoreditch vibe. [name_m]Thorin[/name_m] feels edgy in the middle name spot and I especially like the meaning thunder. The overall name feels very cool.

[name_m]Caspian[/name_m] [name_m]Lewis[/name_m] ~ absolutely gorgeous! [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] is such a romantic, handsome name that feels whimsical and evokes beautiful imagery. [name_m]Lewis[/name_m] is such a charming middle name which sounds beautiful with [name_m]Caspian[/name_m]. Very Chronicles of [name_f]Narnia[/name_f]!

[name_m]August[/name_m] [name_m]Berenger[/name_m] ~ [name_m]August[/name_m] is a handsome outdoorsy name he’s rustic, warm and has the sweet clunky cool nickname [name_m]Gus[/name_m]. I think [name_m]August[/name_m] is lovely and [name_m]Berenger[/name_m] makes a cool daring middle name.

[name_f]Cecily[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] ~ [name_f]Cecily[/name_f] is a sweet delicate vintage name that evokes imagery of pretty pastel colours, lace, china tea sets and spring days. [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] just adds to the cottagecore imagery.

[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Nimue[/name_f] ~ [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] is a regal classic she’s elegant, with a range of sweet nicknames and an overall timeless feel. I think [name_f]Nimue[/name_f] makes an unexpected quirky middle name.

[name_f]Romilly[/name_f] [name_f]Helena[/name_f] ~ [name_f]Romilly[/name_f] is gorgeous she has a melodic sound, feels bright, spunky and elegant. I also like the nicknames [name_f]Millie[/name_f] & [name_f]Romy[/name_f]. [name_f]Helena[/name_f] is a beautiful middle name.

[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Bridget[/name_f] ~ [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] is a lovely virtue name that has a lovely meaning, sweet nicknames and a timeless elegance. She also feels glamorous and high flying with the ‘city’ ending. I think [name_f]Bridget[/name_f] makes a lovely middle name providing an overall Wuthering Heights [name_f]Kathy[/name_f] running through the Yorkshire moors feel.

Okay so my thoughts on your list are two-fold. Most of your names seem very evergreen and classic, which I like. A few of them [name_m]Caspian[/name_m], [name_m]Thorin[/name_m], [name_f]Nimue[/name_f] seem to me like fandom references. And if you like that and you’re okay with people thinking “oh she named her kid for a character” then that’s peryfine, just be aware of the reference so it doesn’t catch you off guard if that wasn’t your intent.
… Actually with a second look at your list, are all of them literary references? Because I didn’t catch them all on the first glance. Which I think might be good. These are some solid classic picks that are only made more lovely if there is a character or story you feel connected to.
I particularly like [name_m]August[/name_m] [name_m]Berenger[/name_m], [name_f]Cecily[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] and [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Bridget[/name_f].

They are literary names, but I also like them.

Clarence Thorin → classic, regal, and elegant with a bit of mythology and ruggedness thrown in

Caspian Lewis → feels very story-book and literary, without being overly whimsical - nice choice

August Berenger → love gentle, arty but solid August. Berenger is one that might have to grow on me, but they do flow well and it gives the name edge and unexpectedness that I think works!

Cecily Matilda → nicely balanced between sweet and strong - it’s got elegance and artiness, feels regal and princessy but solid too

Charlotte Nimue → I like the flow of this and the unexpectedness of Nimue with the classic Charlotte (plus I think it gives you the possibility of nn Lou )

Romilly Helena → I find the repeated L sounds a bit trippy but I think on saying it a few times that wouldn’t be an issue. I enjoy the balance between contemporary feeling Romilly and the regal, classic vibes of Helena.

Felicity Bridget → zippy and cheerful but grounded too - nicely balanced between light and strong
