Trying to start fresh

louise.solaris · June 5, 2026, 9:59pm

hey berries! you probably know me by now, but if not just think of my vibe as cozy, vintage, and sometimes dark academia.

my issue with making combos is that my brain gets so twisted up and overwhelmed with the infinite options, so I am formatting it like this.

Adela _____
Iris ______
Alice _____
_____ Juliet
Ruth _____
Agnes ____
_____ Irene
Hazel ____
____ Adele
____ Viola
Sybil ____

consider Viola Thisbe, Mary Rosamund, Halloran Richard, Cathal Eugene, & Galahad Oscar as stylistic examples. I also love super historic and mythological names, and I’m okay with names that are more out-there.

but don’t be afraid to go outside of my usual style…i want to expand my horizons! i don’t like my combos to be overly frilly, however.

I let these create themselves without overthinking! If you’d like to, please feel free to say which you do and don’t like! No offence taken I promise, they were very off the cup! I’d be
happy to come back and hone in on what you gel with a bit better!

OOH these are all the right idea! I may go and investigate some related names to the pairings you put here. I quite like [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Mavine[/name_f] (very sleek), [name_f]Leto[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] (perfect level of familiarity), [name_f]Liadan[/name_f] [name_f]Viola[/name_f], and [name_f]Sybil[/name_f] [name_f]Carabella[/name_f] (I think [name_f]Sybil[/name_f] needs a pretty feminine middle name like this.

Thank you! I’ll let you know what I come up with from the inspiration you gave me

louise.solaris · June 5, 2026, 11:21pm

No, these are the perfect level of dark academia, honestly!

[name_f]Loving[/name_f]

[name_f]Adela[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] (my birth flower)
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Thomasin[/name_f]
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Irene[/name_f]
[name_f]Cecily[/name_f] [name_f]Adele[/name_f]
[name_f]Sybil[/name_f] [name_f]Fenella[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] (beautiful)
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Romilly[/name_f] (cozy!)

Thank you, this definitely gives me some direction! When I’m overwhelmed, all of the names I’ve ever known kind of disappear from my head, so I appreciate it a lot.

louise.solaris · June 5, 2026, 11:23pm

Ooh there are some lovely more rare names in here for me to play with!!

I really like every [name_f]Iris[/name_f] combo- she is so versatile. But my favorite would have to be [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Hypatia[/name_f].

I also really enjoy:
[name_f]Ruth[/name_f] [name_m]Hallow[/name_m]
[name_f]Laurel[/name_f] [name_f]Irene[/name_f]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Pomona[/name_f]
[name_f]Sistine[/name_f] [name_f]Viola[/name_f]
[name_f]Ondine[/name_f] [name_f]Viola[/name_f]

and especially [name_f]Sybil[/name_f] [name_f]Hyacinth[/name_f] - that’s so gorgeous!

Thank you lots!!

I do realistically think [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] is perfect for a future child! I’m trying to be a little more playful with my list but I do adore that combo.

[name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Pomeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] (I wish there wasn’t the [name_m]Harry[/name_m] [name_m]Potter[/name_m] association though, because I never read past the first book, I was a PJO kid)
[name_f]Ruth[/name_f] [name_f]Cleopatra[/name_f] (though I do love [name_f]Octavia[/name_f])
[name_f]Agnes[/name_f] [name_f]Ottoline[/name_f]
