Mine:
[name]Andreas[/name] [name]Peter[/name] - [name]Both[/name] such strong names! I am glad you put [name]Andreas[/name] first because [name]Peter[/name] [name]Andreas[/name] sounds like a first and last name combo.
[name]Conrad[/name] [name]Sebastian[/name] - I [name]LOVE[/name] IT! [name]Conrad[/name] is in my top for boys and [name]Conrad[/name] [name]Sebastian[/name] sounds so masculine!
[name]Julian[/name] [name]Edgar[/name] - I prefer your previous combo, but it is still a great name!
[name]Edmund[/name] [name]James[/name] - [name]Edmund[/name] is in my top list too! What a great name!
[name]Felix[/name] - Great name! I love the x!
[name]Soren[/name] - almost a middle name for one of my boys!
[name]Mathis[/name] - I like [name]Mathias[/name] better, but this is a great way to use a matthew namesake!
[name]Theodore[/name] - [name]Love[/name] [name]Theodore[/name]!
[name]Raphael[/name] - Again on my top list!
[name]Saskia[/name] [name]Lily[/name] - I don’t really get [name]Saskia[/name] but [name]Lily[/name] is a great mn!
[name]Maren[/name] [name]Johanna[/name] - I love [name]Johanna[/name] but [name]Maren[/name] is a boys name for me since the only person I know with this name are boys.
[name]Elena[/name] [name]Isabel[/name] - [name]Lovely[/name] name!
[name]Juliana[/name] [name]Alice[/name] - [name]Adore[/name] it!

[name]Peter[/name] Halen - Very strong and handsome
[name]Conrad[/name] [name]Gray[/name] - See above
[name]Edmund[/name] [name]North[/name] - The ‘nd N’ slurs a bit, but it doesn’t really put me off this very handsome name
[name]Miles[/name] [name]Xavier[/name] - Again, the two names could slur together, but still a great combo
[name]Perseus[/name] - I wouldn’t use it as a first name
[name]Bertram[/name] - Same as above. I quite like [name]Bertram[/name], but it’s not overly accessible

@araminta: we have a very similar taste in names! Your list is fantastic

[name]Flora[/name] - one of my personal favorites. I love this as a nn for [name]Florence[/name], too.
[name]Imogen[/name] - this is really the only name on your list that I don’t particularly care for. On paper, it’s beautiful, but sounds ugly imho.

[name]Gideon[/name] - I love that this sounds familiar but it’s not popular.
[name]Jasper[/name] - [name]Love[/name] that this honors the artist [name]Jasper[/name] Johns, but if not, [name]Jasper[/name] is still a fresh yet established name.
[name]Cosmo[/name] - Um. not really feeling this one. It seems feminine to me?
[name]Willoughby[/name] - very cool alternative to [name]William[/name]!
