I’ve been toying around with my current top 40 (I’ve balanced out the vintage/non-vintage names that I love a lot better this time around!) and these are what I’ve come up with.
FN’s are pretty much solid, and I do quite like a lot of these middles, but nothing in the middle spot is set in stone ;p
As for the ones with two MN options, which do you prefer?
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] or [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f]
[name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] or [name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f]
[name_f]Sophia[/name_f] [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] or [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] [name_f]Annabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] or [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_f]Emilia[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] or [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]?
Which of the names off my list are your favourites? [name_f]Do[/name_f] you have any ideas for some MNs you’d like to see?
These are my favorite combinations from your list:
[name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] maybe [name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f] as a pet name?
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] <3
Layla Eleanor
Imogen Rebecca
Georgia Lily
Violet Evelyn
Laura Beatrice
Felicity Rosalind
Jemima Florence
Verity Charlotte
Ada Florence
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Bridget[/name_f] (although I think I prefer [name_f]Emilia[/name_f])
[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] (love [name_f]Anabel[/name_f], not too fond of [name_f]Louisa[/name_f], the flow feels off to me.)
[name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f]/[name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] (I like both)
[name_f]Bryony[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] ([name_f]Sophia[/name_f] is too popular for me but I love [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f])
[name_f]Freya[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] ([name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Freya[/name_f])
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f] (not too short at all!)
[name_f]Zara[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]/[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f]
[name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] ([name_f]Juliet[/name_f]'s story was so tragic…and she’s not the strongest literary female! That aside, still crushing on her)
I prefer:
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] (So hard. Dasiy is spunky while [name_f]Mary[/name_f] is grounding…I went with the ‘surprise’ in the middle)
[name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f]
[name_f]Sophia[/name_f] [name_f]Annabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] (Although I like [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] more, the A spelling looks better to me)
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] ([name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] is not my style, but I like [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f])
These are the ones I really love…
[name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] - I was actually thinking about [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] recently, they’re so lovely together.
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Sophia[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Nancy[/name_f]
[name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Imogen[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] - I’m really loving [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] right now for some reason, it’s usually not my thing, but it’s beautiful here. I also like [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Jemima[/name_f] and [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f].
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] - this one is beautiful, not something I’d ever think of but they’re great together.
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]
[name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] - I love seeing [name_f]Laura[/name_f] on your list, so refreshing. With [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] it’s just beautiful.
[name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f] - I think of [name_f]Ada[/name_f] Lovelace and [name_f]Florence[/name_f] Nightingale, they’re brilliant together and have amazing namesakes.
[name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] -
These ones have potential, definitely, but I’d slightly tweak them (sorry if this came off as harsh and I don’t want to mess with family names etc - your list is beautiful but how names ‘‘feel’’ together is something I’m picky about)…
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Bridget[/name_f] - I think something cutesy and less harsh would be better here, like [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Birdie[/name_f].
[name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_f]Amelie[/name_f]/[name_f]May[/name_f] - I’d prefer something like [name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_f]Amara[/name_f] or [name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f].
[name_f]Nancy[/name_f] [name_f]Aoife[/name_f] - I’ve found both of these really hard to pair in the past… [name_f]Aoife[/name_f] [name_f]Nancy[/name_f] sounds better imo, but I’d suggest [name_f]Nancy[/name_f] [name_f]Esme[/name_f]? [name_f]Nancy[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]?
[name_f]Poppy[/name_f] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] - feels too… jumpy and energetic to me, I’d suggest [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]/[name_f]Poppy[/name_f] [name_f]Louisa[/name_f].
[name_f]Freya[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] - [name_f]Freya[/name_f] is beautiful but [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] feels ‘‘off’’ to me - [name_f]Freya[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f]? [name_f]Freya[/name_f] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]?
[name_f]Layla[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] - [name_f]Layla[/name_f] [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] or [name_f]Laya[/name_f] [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] would flow better imo
[name_f]Georgia[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] - [name_f]Lily[/name_f] is too soft here, what about [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] [name_f]Poppy[/name_f]? [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]? [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f]?
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] - flow wise I don’t love this, what about [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]? [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Arabella[/name_f]? [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Esme[/name_f]?
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] - [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] is lovely but feels too short with [name_f]Iris[/name_f], what about [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]? [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Virginia[/name_f]? [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f]?
[name_f]Arabella[/name_f] [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] - What about [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] [name_f]Maude[/name_f]!? [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] just feels too airy/light here.
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] - [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f] jumps out at me for some reason.
And of these, I like…
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]
[name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_f]Amelie[/name_f]
[name_f]Sophia[/name_f] [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] (I usually like [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] best, but the frills are very charming here)
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] (neither of those feel perfect here, but I only like the [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] spelling)
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]
I like [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f], [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Arabella[/name_f], [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] (although I still love [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f] is a family one), and [name_f]Layla[/name_f] [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]
[name_f]Poppy[/name_f] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] is one I really love, and [name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f] is a family choice, [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] is one I love but feel like pronunciations have demoted it to the MN spot. I really love [name_f]Nancy[/name_f] [name_f]Aoife[/name_f] but I suppose it doesnt have the best flow, haha. I still love [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Bridget[/name_f] though.
