So recently I spent a day deciding what names I would honestly and truly and use, and I think I have finally come into a real top ten, composed of ten names that at any time I could use and be in love with the combination. The names are, in order,
[name_u]Ariel[/name_u] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] } I love this name because the meaning of [name_u]Ariel[/name_u] is ‘[name_m]Lion[/name_m] of God’ which is just beautiful
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] } Despite it’s growing popularity, I love everything about [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] } I just love the vintage feel of [name_f]Lydia[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] } I realize not everyone thinks of [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] as usable, but I think the [name_m]Harry[/name_m] [name_m]Potter[/name_m] craze has died down enough now that this gorgeous name can make a big comeback
[name_f]Amara[/name_f] [name_f]Scarlet[/name_f] } [name_f]Amara[/name_f] has the most beautiful meaning; “lovely forever”
[name_u]Holland[/name_u] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] ] I really like the possibility of [name_u]Hollis[/name_u] and [name_f]Holly[/name_f] as nicknames
[name_f]Cassia[/name_f]/[name_f]Calla[/name_f]/[name_f]Cora[/name_f][name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] } I really love all of these, but I cannot narrow it down for the life of me haha! Help is appreciated
[name_u]Spencer[/name_u] [name_u]Poet[/name_u] } I don’t know why I love [name_u]Spencer[/name_u] on a girl, but I just really love it, and I realize that not everyone else does. But I’m not changing my mind on this one
[name_f]Naomi[/name_f] [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] } Honors my Jewish heritage
[name_u]Meredith[/name_u] [name_f]Freya[/name_f] } I wanted to use [name_f]Freya[/name_f] as a first name but I don’t like the lack of nickname
Opinions, rates, and suggestions are really appreciated! Also, if any of you have any uncommon but usable girls names that you love, please tell me!
[name_u]Ariel[/name_u] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f]: [name_u]Love[/name_u] it! I have only met one person named [name_u]Ariel[/name_u] around my age and a young [name_f]Ariella[/name_f].
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f]: Not a fan of [name_f]Hazel[/name_f], but [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] is beautiful.
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f]: Sounds good together
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Hermione[/name_f]: [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] is cute, I don’t like the sound of [name_f]Hermione[/name_f], or at least how I have heard it pronounced (her-mine-ee)
[name_u]Ariel[/name_u] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f]- I love love love this.
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f]- I don’t like [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] particularly but [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] is one of my favorite names ever and I think these names accompany each other beautifully.
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f]- I love [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] but the downfall of this name is the unfortunate possible nickname of “[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] Chlamydia”. Kids are mean so you never know. But it is a lovely combo.
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Hermione[/name_f]- I am not a fan of either name.
[name_f]Amara[/name_f] [name_f]Scarlet[/name_f]- I don’t like the name [name_f]Amara[/name_f] but the meaning of it is gorgeous and I think it goes quite well with [name_f]Scarlet[/name_f].
[name_u]Holland[/name_u] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]- I’m not a fan of either name but I do think they make a great combo.
[name_f]Cassia[/name_f]/[name_f]Calla[/name_f]/[name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]- I think I prefer [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f].
[name_u]Spencer[/name_u] [name_u]Poet[/name_u]- I love [name_u]Spencer[/name_u] for a girl as well but I do not like the name [name_u]Poet[/name_u] personally.
[name_f]Naomi[/name_f] [name_u]Vivian[/name_u]- I think this has an alright flow. I’m not crazy about it but I do like this combo.
[name_u]Meredith[/name_u] [name_f]Freya[/name_f]- Eh, it’s pretty but I don’t particularly like it. (It’s just not my style)
[name_u]Ariel[/name_u] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] - I don’t love [name_u]Ariel[/name_u], but this is a lovely combo.
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] - love. i feel the same way about [name_f]Hazel[/name_f].
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] - gorgeous.
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] - I like this. I don’t mind [name_f]Hermione[/name_f], and I love [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f].
[name_f]Amara[/name_f] [name_f]Scarlet[/name_f] - I love [name_f]Amara[/name_f]. Not sure I love it with [name_f]Scarlet[/name_f] though, due to the repeated ‘ar’ syllables.
[name_u]Holland[/name_u] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] - [name_u]Holland[/name_u] is nms, but this is a cute combo.
[name_f]Cassia[/name_f]/[name_f]Calla[/name_f]/[name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] - I too love [name_f]Cassia[/name_f], [name_f]Calla[/name_f], and [name_f]Cora[/name_f] (esp. [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] and [name_f]Cora[/name_f]), but [name_f]Cora[/name_f] is def. my fave with [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]. Both aesthetically and also due to the double flower/plant references with the other two combos.
[name_u]Spencer[/name_u] [name_u]Poet[/name_u] - Not a bad combo, but not my style. I love [name_u]Spencer[/name_u] for a boy, and [name_u]Poet[/name_u] is just nms.
[name_f]Naomi[/name_f] [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] - very nice. Names go together well.
[name_u]Meredith[/name_u] [name_f]Freya[/name_f] - I like this, though I would very much prefer [name_f]Freya[/name_f] [name_u]Meredith[/name_u]. [name_u]Meredith[/name_u] is not a name I would want to shorten personally.
So…nice list! [name_u]Spencer[/name_u] [name_u]Poet[/name_u] and [name_u]Holland[/name_u] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] are at the bottom for me, but only because they’re not my style. And again, I adore [name_f]Amara[/name_f]-- just not so much with [name_f]Scarlet[/name_f]. I like [name_f]Amara[/name_f] with [name_f]Cecily[/name_f], [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f], [name_u]Winter[/name_u], [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]…
[name_u]Ariel[/name_u] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] } - I like [name_f]Katherine[/name_f]. [name_u]Ariel[/name_u] is fine.
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] } - I like [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]. Not sure if I would use [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f].

[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] } - I like [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]. Not entirely sure about [name_f]Hermione[/name_f].
[name_f]Amara[/name_f] [name_f]Scarlet[/name_f] } - I like [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f]. [name_f]Amara[/name_f] is fine.
[name_u]Holland[/name_u] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] ] - I dislike [name_u]Holland[/name_u] and [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] but I like [name_f]Holly[/name_f] though.

[name_u]Spencer[/name_u] [name_u]Poet[/name_u] } - I dislike [name_u]Spencer[/name_u] and [name_u]Poet[/name_u].
