Hello to my fellow berries!
A friend of mine is having twins - a boy and a girl - and she wanted to receive some feedback on potential name options she’s picked out for them. These are her and her partner’s five favorite combinations, but I can ask them for others if people are interested in hearing.
[name_m]Quincy Oliver[/name_m] & [name_f]Helena Florence[/name_f]
[name_m]Reuben Frances[/name_m] & [name_f]Darcy Clementine[/name_f]
[name_m]Damien Alistair[/name_m] & [name_f]Caroline Vivienne[/name_f]
[name_m]Jasper Marco[/name_m] & [name_f]Genevieve Lilac[/name_f]
[name_m]Henrie Lawrence[/name_m] & [name_f]Rowan[/name_f] [name_f]Margaux[/name_f]
Personally, they’re prone to being fonder of older/more classic names, but have specified they want a unique combination that’ll be memorable for all the right reasons! Jasper & Genevieve are my current favorites, but I just wanted to get in some further feedback to help them out!
Any feedback is appreciated!
From most to least favorite:
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m] [name_m]Marco[/name_m] & [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] [name_f]Lilac[/name_f] - Flawless combos! [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] [name_m]Marco[/name_m] is sweet and handsome and [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] [name_f]Lilac[/name_f] just so pretty!
[name_m]Damien[/name_m] [name_m]Alistair[/name_m] & [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]
[name_u]Quincy[/name_u] [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] & [name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f]
[name_m]Reuben[/name_m] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] & [name_u]Darcy[/name_u] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]
Henrie [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u] & [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_f]Margaux[/name_f] - I dislike this spelling of Henrie, it would get misspelled a lot as [name_m]Henry[/name_m] is so common
[name_m]Favorite[/name_m] to least favorite
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m] [name_m]Marco[/name_m] & [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] [name_f]Lilac[/name_f] - These names are great on their own, and they go fantastic together. For sure my favorite.
[name_m]Damien[/name_m] [name_m]Alistair[/name_m] & [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] - Both names are classic, and I like them together. You can’t really go wrong with [name_m]Damien[/name_m] or [name_f]Caroline[/name_f].
[name_m]Reuben[/name_m] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] & [name_u]Darcy[/name_u] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] - [name_m]Reuben[/name_m] is cute, but I have a big soft spot for the name [name_u]Darcy[/name_u]. It makes this combo extra sweet.
Henrie [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u] & [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_f]Margaux[/name_f] - I prefer [name_m]Henry[/name_m] over Henrie, but if it’s an honor name then I would understand the choice. [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_f]Margaux[/name_f] is really cute.
[name_u]Quincy[/name_u] [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] & [name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f] - I like [name_u]Quincy[/name_u] [name_m]Oliver[/name_m], but I really don’t like the name [name_f]Helena[/name_f]. I don’t think the sound is pleasant. Also not a big fan of “[name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f]”, as a whole.
Here’s my two cents and the order I’d use them from best to least liked:
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m] [name_m]Marco[/name_m] & [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] [name_f]Lilac[/name_f] - very nice - elegant and classic
[name_m]Damien[/name_m] [name_m]Alistair[/name_m] & [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] - I like [name_m]Damien[/name_m] and [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] together but would do a different mn for [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]-- maybe [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] [name_f]Viveca[/name_f] or [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] [name_f]Verity[/name_f] instead?
[name_u]Quincy[/name_u] [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] & [name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f] - If they used [name_f]Nell[/name_f] as a nn for [name_f]Helena[/name_f], I might move this one up!
[name_m]Reuben[/name_m] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] & [name_u]Darcy[/name_u] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] - I’d use [name_u]Francis[/name_u] for a boy name and [name_u]Darcy[/name_u] is just not my favorite (I love [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] though). What about [name_m]Reuben[/name_m] [name_u]Francis[/name_u] and [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] or [name_f]Diana[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]?
Henrie [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u] & [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_f]Margaux[/name_f] - My least favorite-- I really don’t like the Henrie spelling-- [name_m]Henry[/name_m] or [name_m]Henri[/name_m] (the last is with the [name_m]French[/name_m] pronunciation - On-rhee). Maybe [name_m]Henri[/name_m] and [name_f]Margaux[/name_f] if the parents want a [name_m]French[/name_m] theme? [name_m]Henri[/name_m] and [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f], [name_m]Henri[/name_m] and [name_f]Marguerite[/name_f] might also work here.
Sorry I went kinda radio silent here, but I just wanted to thank you all for contributing to help out my friend! It’s really meant a lot to her through the stresses of a first time pregnancy, and I just wanted to say thanks too
As many of you - including myself - stated, [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] [name_m]Marco[/name_m] & [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] [name_f]Lilac[/name_f] was the best combination, and after some deliberation, it’s what they have chosen to settle on! Thanks again for your feedback and comments!
