[name]Just[/name] looking for ideas, thoughts on combos I have and how others like them, or how they would change them up.

[name]Sadie[/name] is such a great and underused name in my opinion. I don’t really like [name]Jane[/name] as the “filler” middle name though. I adore [name]Anniston[/name]! Another underused one. [name]Love[/name] it! I think [name]Nautica[/name] is more of a brand than a name…

I loves [name]Amos[/name], [name]Ezra[/name], [name]Jameson[/name] & [name]Samuel[/name]!

[name]Ezra[/name] [name]Daniel[/name] makes me swoon. I also really like [name]Samuel[/name] [name]Owen[/name].

3

[name]Jane[/name] is also a family name, but I kind of toyed with [name]Jeanette[/name]/[name]Janette[/name] as plays on [name]Jane[/name] and [name]Jean[/name]. But thank you!

4

I love [name]Nautica[/name] but I think too many people will remember the clothing company, in which case [name]Lydia[/name] or [name]Gwyneth[/name] would be my top pick for a girl, and [name]Heath[/name] or [name]Sam[/name] for a boy.

[name]Demi[/name] [name]Thora[/name] – [name]Demi[/name] is a nice name, but I wonder if it might be too tied to pop culture. : / [name]Thora[/name] is cool. You might also like [name]Thea[/name].
[name]Veda[/name] [name]Constance[/name] – These names aren’t my style, and as a combo it sounds a little too grandmother to me. That’s just me though! I think mixing the combo up a bit could work. For instance [name]Sadie[/name] [name]Constance[/name] or [name]Veda[/name] [name]Grace[/name].
[name]Sadie[/name] [name]Jane[/name] – I love both of these names and they make a sweet-sounding combo! [name]Sadie[/name] [name]Gwyneth[/name], [name]Lydia[/name] [name]Jane[/name], and [name]Jane[/name] [name]Constance[/name] would also be nice!
[name]Ramona[/name] [name]Bernadette[/name] – [name]Both[/name] of these names are neat, but I think it’s too much of a mouthful as a combo. What about [name]Ramona[/name] [name]Jane[/name], [name]Grace[/name] [name]Bernadette[/name], [name]Sadie[/name] [name]Bernadette[/name], or [name]Ramona[/name] [name]Grace[/name]?
[name]Nautica[/name] [name]Josephine[/name] – [name]Nautica[/name] doesn’t feel like a name to me and [name]Josephine[/name] is nms. I think [name]Lydia[/name] [name]Josephine[/name] would be really nice though!
[name]Anniston[/name] – Hmm, how about [name]Anniston[/name] [name]Jane[/name], [name]Anniston[/name] [name]Mary[/name], or [name]Anniston[/name] [name]Thora[/name]?
[name]Lydia[/name] – This name is so pretty! It’s a solid name with a lovely, lilting sound. I always loved the combo [name]Lydia[/name] [name]Abigail[/name]. :slight_smile: Also, [name]Lydia[/name] [name]Grace[/name] and [name]Lydia[/name] [name]Constance[/name] would be nice. You might also like: [name]Natalia[/name], [name]Natalie[/name], and [name]Verity[/name].

[name]Heath[/name] [name]William[/name] – I don’t like [name]Heath[/name] much for some reason, but I think this combo is very well-balanced.
[name]Amos[/name] [name]Matthew[/name] – [name]Amos[/name] would make a really neat first name, but I think it would flow better with a different middle. [name]Amos[/name] [name]William[/name]? [name]Amos[/name] [name]Daniel[/name]?
[name]Ezra[/name] – This name is the ultimate cool “grandpa” name – I love it! [name]Ezra[/name] [name]Jameson[/name] would be so handsome.
[name]Jameson[/name] – This is a very nice name! nn [name]Jem[/name] would be really cute. :slight_smile: [name]Jameson[/name] [name]Daniel[/name]?
[name]Samuel[/name] – I like this name too! Gentle and strong. [name]Samuel[/name] [name]Owen[/name]?

[name]Demi[/name] [name]Thora[/name] – [name]Demi[/name] sounds like a middle-aged woman to me, but [name]Thora[/name] is AWESOME, and deserves to be in the first name spot, in my opinion!

[name]Veda[/name] [name]Constance[/name] – [name]Veda[/name] is such a cutie, and perfect for any age. It will be darling on a baby, sweet on a grade schooler, and it just eases into adulthood and old age. [name]Constance[/name] is pretty, but I’m not a fan of the nickname [name]Connie[/name]. However, as a middle name, it will likely never be shortened to [name]Connie[/name], so I like it.

[name]Sadie[/name] [name]Jane[/name] – Oh I really like this! It sounds bright and cheerful with the repeating “A” sound. I know people on this board are against filler middle names, but I think the “fillers” compliment first names the way eye shadow makes the color of a person’s irises stand out. They don’t draw attention to THEMSELVES, but the highlight the first name and make it pop.

[name]Ramona[/name] [name]Bernadette[/name] – This has a nice rhythm. [name]Ramona[/name] makes me think of the [name]Beverly[/name] [name]Cleary[/name] books, but that is a happy association.

[name]Nautica[/name] [name]Josephine[/name] – [name]Nautica[/name] looks and sounds like the word “naughty,” which has become a kinky word in today’s society. If you like ocean names, consider [name]Marina[/name]?

[name]Anniston[/name] – I like this. It sounds preppy and chic.

[name]Lydia[/name] – This was my favorite name for a while. I paired it with [name]Grace[/name]–yes I know, a “filler,” but again, I love fillers.

[name]Heath[/name] [name]William[/name] – [name]Heath[/name] looks REALLY handsome written out, but it does have a very breathy sound, and seems to lack substance. You just kind of breathe it out: “[name]Heath[/name].” A bit lispy too. But something about it still appeals to me nonetheless.

[name]Amos[/name] [name]Matthew[/name] – [name]Amos[/name] is just awesome. It would be perfect on an old man, but also endearing on a little boy.

[name]Ezra[/name] – The E- Bible names are a bit too trendy right now for my liking.

[name]Jameson[/name] – Have you considered either just [name]James[/name] or [name]Jenson[/name]?

[name]Samuel[/name] – I’ve thought about this one too, but my concern is the nickname [name]Sam[/name]/[name]Sammy[/name], which seems to be strongly associated with [name]Samantha[/name] and therefore feminine.

I’m not a huge fan of [name]Demi[/name], [name]Thora[/name], [name]Anniston[/name] or [name]Nautica[/name] so I won’t do anything with those, but it’s just that they’re not my style and I wouldn’t be much help.

I have been in love with the name [name]Veda[/name] for years, and I think it sounds lovely as a first name for [name]Constance[/name], and that [name]Veda[/name] [name]Josephine[/name] and [name]Veda[/name] [name]Grace[/name] would work equally well.

[name]Sadie[/name] [name]Jane[/name] is adorable, but may work better in youth than in adulthood. Perhaps [name]Sadie[/name] [name]Josephine[/name] would be a better aging combination?

[name]Ramona[/name] [name]Bernadette[/name] I think is a gorgeous combination too. [name]Ramona[/name] [name]Jane[/name] or [name]Ramona[/name] [name]Grace[/name] might also work.

[name]Gwenyth[/name] I think is absolutely beautiful, though I’m finding it hard to get the right pairing from your list of names. Maybe [name]Gwenyth[/name] [name]Jean[/name] or [name]Gwenyth[/name] [name]Lydia[/name] or [name]Gwenyth[/name] [name]Veda[/name]?

Of your boys names, I think both your combinations are solid, and that you have a wealth of wonderful names in your family list. As someone above mentioned, [name]Ezra[/name] [name]Daniel[/name] and [name]Samuel[/name] [name]Owen[/name] are great. I’m not so keen on [name]Jameson[/name] as it makes me think of the whiskey, but I think [name]James[/name] is a standout name. [name]Daniel[/name] [name]James[/name]? [name]Ezra[/name] [name]James[/name]? [name]Samuel[/name] [name]James[/name]? [name]James[/name] [name]William[/name]? [name]Leonard[/name] [name]James[/name]?

I really love [name]Veda[/name] [name]Constance[/name] {usually don’t like [name]Constance[/name] but it sounds nice here}, [name]Sadie[/name] [name]Jane[/name], [name]Amos[/name] [name]Matthew[/name], & [name]Ezra[/name].

I am absolutely in love with [name]Veda[/name]. :slight_smile:

I like [name]Demi[/name] [name]Thora[/name], [name]Lydia[/name], [name]Ramona[/name], [name]Josephine[/name], [name]Heath[/name] [name]William[/name], & [name]Samuel[/name].

I dislike [name]Bernadette[/name], [name]Anniston[/name] {makes me think your a big fan of [name]Jennifer[/name]}, [name]Nautica[/name] {honestly don’t get this}, & [name]Jameson[/name] {I’m a bartender so I automatically think [name]Jameson[/name] Irish Whiskey}.

I think something like [name]Demi[/name] [name]Aurora[/name] would sound and flow better [name]Demi[/name] [name]Thora[/name] is very choppy. [name]Demi[/name] [name]Josephine[/name] or [name]Demi[/name] [name]Ramona[/name] are nice too.

Combos:
[name]Ezra[/name] [name]Leonard[/name]
[name]Samuel[/name] [name]Owen[/name]
[name]Lydia[/name] [name]Gwyneth[/name]
[name]Ramona[/name] [name]Jean[/name]

[name]Demi[/name] [name]Thora[/name] flows in to one for me, so I don’t really like it. Have you considered [name]Demeter[/name]? [name]Demeter[/name] [name]Jean[/name] maybe?

[name]Veda[/name] [name]Constance[/name] is lovely as it is, really like this one.

[name]Sadie[/name] [name]Jane[/name] sounds a little rhymey with both names starting in a similar sound. Also, I’ve never been keen on [name]Sadie[/name] because it has the words ‘sad’ and ‘die’ right in there but that’s just me. I also know lots of dogs named [name]Sadie[/name]. [name]Sadie[/name] [name]Grace[/name] would sound better.

[name]Romona[/name] [name]Bernadette[/name] is a very strong sounding, not particularly keen on either name though.

[name]Nautica[/name] isn’t my style but I do love [name]Josephine[/name] as a middle name. I 'd prefer to see [name]Lydia[/name] [name]Josephine[/name].

[name]Anniston[/name] seems very odd on your girls list. It’s celebrity inspired and a last name so it’s very trendy whereas the other names aren’t.

[name]Rowena[/name], [name]Sarai[/name], [name]Reina[/name], [name]Giselle[/name], [name]Saffron[/name], [name]Claudia[/name], [name]Veronica[/name], [name]Thalia[/name], Wilhemina and [name]Maeve[/name] all came to mind for you.

I adore [name]Ezra[/name]! [name]Ezra[/name] [name]Daniel[/name] would be handsome.

[name]Amos[/name] is gorgeous but it sounds too ‘m’ heavy with [name]Matthew[/name]. [name]Amos[/name] [name]William[/name] and [name]Amos[/name] [name]Daniel[/name] would be better.

[name]Heath[/name] isn’t my style but [name]Heath[/name] [name]William[/name] is handsome.

[name]Love[/name] [name]Jameson[/name] and [name]Samuel[/name] - [name]Samuel[/name] [name]Jameson[/name] maybe? [name]Samuel[/name] [name]Owen[/name]? [name]Jameson[/name] [name]Leo[/name] (short for [name]Leonard[/name])?

[name]Demi[/name] [name]Thora[/name]- The flow is pretty choppy, maybe a longer middle name? [name]Demi[/name] [name]Theodora[/name]?
[name]Veda[/name] [name]Constance[/name]- I like this.
[name]Sadie[/name] [name]Jane[/name]- [name]Sadie[/name] isn’t my style, but [name]Jane[/name] is nice as a middle.
[name]Ramona[/name] [name]Bernadette[/name]- [name]Both[/name] are very heavy together, [name]Ramona[/name] [name]Adele[/name] or [name]Romy[/name] [name]Bernadette[/name].
[name]Nautica[/name] [name]Josephine[/name]- [name]Don[/name]'t care for [name]Nautica[/name] at all, but I like [name]Josephine[/name]. [name]Naomi[/name] [name]Josephine[/name] or [name]Nora[/name] [name]Josephine[/name] maybe…
[name]Anniston[/name]- Very trendy, and I’d always think of [name]Jennifer[/name] Aniston. Deffinetly not my style.
[name]Lydia[/name]- I really like [name]Lydia[/name]. [name]Lydia[/name] [name]Jane[/name], [name]Lydia[/name] [name]Bernadette[/name], or [name]Lydia[/name] [name]Josephine[/name] would be great.

[name]Heath[/name] [name]William[/name]- This is alright. Something about it is off to me, but I like it.
[name]Amos[/name] [name]Matthew[/name]- Lots of M sounds. [name]Amos[/name] [name]William[/name] would be good.
[name]Ezra[/name]- I like this, even though it’s getting really popular.
[name]Jameson[/name]- Not my style at all.

I think we have different styles, but I love [name]Lydia[/name], Amoz, [name]Ezra[/name], and [name]Veda[/name] [name]Constance[/name] from your list.
