Okay, so I fell out of love with most of my favorite names. So I created a top five, these are the names I can see myself using. What do you think of them?
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Lorraine[/name_f] - [name_f]Alice[/name_f] means “noble” & [name_f]Lorraine[/name_f] means “kingdom of [name_m]Lothar[/name_m]”
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] - [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] means “home ruler” & [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] means “each of the two”
[name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Christine[/name_f]/[name_f]Lori[/name_f] - [name_u]June[/name_u] means “youth” & [name_f]Christine[/name_f] means “A [name_m]Christian[/name_m]”///[name_f]Lori[/name_f] means “laurel”
[name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_f]Clarisa[/name_f] - [name_f]Florence[/name_f] means “prosperous, flowering” & [name_f]Clarisa[/name_f] means “clear, bright and famous”
[name_f]Eurydice[/name_f] [name_f]Ann[/name_f] - [name_f]Eurydice[/name_f] means “wide justice” & [name_f]Ann[/name_f] means “favor”
Bonus: Which name sounds better with [name_u]June[/name_u]? [name_f]Christine[/name_f] or [name_f]Lori[/name_f]?
Alice, Lorraine, Catherine, Christine, Lori, Clarisa (clah-riss-ah), Ann are all FAMILY NAMES. No varients like Anne, Anna, Katherine, Christina, Clarissa will be used.
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Lorraine[/name_f] - I like [name_f]Alice[/name_f], although I’ve only actually known one person named [name_f]Alice[/name_f] (and she was a toddler) so it feels more like a character name to me, not that that’s a bad thing. I’ve never been a big fan of [name_f]Lorraine[/name_f]; the sound just doesn’t thrill me. I like the two together though; the repeating L’s give it a good flow. It’s also similar in sound to Alsace-[name_f]Lorraine[/name_f], which is kind of cool.
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] - I like both of these names fine, and they sound good together.
[name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Christine[/name_f]/[name_f]Lori[/name_f] - I love [name_u]June[/name_u]. Not thrilled by [name_f]Christine[/name_f], I think just because it was pretty popular for a while so it just doesn’t feel new to me. However, I do think it goes better with [name_u]June[/name_u] than [name_f]Lori[/name_f], because they’re both so short. Not super thrilled with either middle though, somehow they just doesn’t seem to flow.
[name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_f]Clarisa[/name_f] - I really like [name_f]Florence[/name_f], and love the nickname [name_f]Flora[/name_f]. [name_f]Clarisa[/name_f] is okay, although I knew someone I didn’t like in high school named [name_f]Clarissa[/name_f] so that’s probably influencing my opinion. I love [name_f]Claire[/name_f], and I actually think that [name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] might be good because there’s more variation in length between the first and middle.
[name_f]Eurydice[/name_f] [name_f]Ann[/name_f] - I’m not completely sure how to pronounce [name_f]Eurydice[/name_f] (just looked it up, and I was completely off track; I’m terrible with Greek names). I also feel like the two names don’t quite go together – [name_f]Euridyce[/name_f] is so unique and [name_f]Ann[/name_f] is so well-known and no-frills. Maybe [name_f]Eurydice[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u]? I feel like a girl with this name would have a hard time, at least in my neck of the woods, just due to pronunciation questions.
Of your first names my favorite is [name_u]June[/name_u], with [name_f]Florence[/name_f] a close second. [name_f]My[/name_f] favorite combination is probably [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Lorraine[/name_f].
Hmm…
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Lorraine[/name_f] - [name_f]Alice[/name_f] is a lovely majestic choice, with a wholesome sound. [name_f]Alice[/name_f] is so delicate. [name_f]Lorraine[/name_f] isn’t completely my style but I think teamed in the middle name slot with [name_f]Alice[/name_f] it’s so grown up and classic. [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Lorraine[/name_f] is a strong, feminine combination that works effortlessly.
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] - [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] has a cool upper class [name_u]Brit[/name_u] sound. She’s feminine and classy with a lovely effortless vibe. [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] in the middle name slot with [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] sounds beautiful. It’s so regal.
[name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Christine[/name_f]/[name_f]Lori[/name_f] - [name_f]Christine[/name_f] is a million times prettier than [name_f]Lori[/name_f]. I do prefer [name_f]Christina[/name_f]. I think the ‘a’ jazzes up [name_f]Christine[/name_f] and adds a bit of fire. I prefer [name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Christina[/name_f]. But if it’s just between [name_f]Lori[/name_f] and [name_f]Christine[/name_f], [name_f]Christine[/name_f] is far prettier and sounds fine with [name_u]June[/name_u].
[name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_f]Clarisa[/name_f] - [name_f]Florence[/name_f] is gorgeous she has so many lovely associations with the Italian city and the historical connotations off [name_f]Florence[/name_f] Nightingale. [name_f]Clarisa[/name_f] is a spunky [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] sounding choice but prefer [name_f]Clarissa[/name_f] spelling wise. [name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_f]Clarissa[/name_f] is delightful.
[name_f]Eurydice[/name_f] [name_f]Ann[/name_f] - Sorry to burst the bubble but I really dislike [name_f]Eurydice[/name_f] it’s just not my style. But [name_f]Ann[/name_f] is a lovely classic.
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Lorraine[/name_f] - I like both names but I’m hearing repetitive l’s so it’s not perfect (but close enough :)).
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] - These two names are well-matched and sound good together. However, I believe the name [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] means “pure” not “each of the two”.
[name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]Christine[/name_f] - a little bland but they flow well together
[name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_f]Clarisa[/name_f] - A little lispy with the “s” sounds but I do like both names.
[name_f]Eurydice[/name_f] [name_f]Ann[/name_f] - this is an unusual pairing. A mix of otherworldly and the traditional. I like the way it looks and sounds together.
