[name_m]Albert[/name_m] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m]–sounds like he lived in the 1800’s
[name_m]Asher[/name_m] [name_m]Jeremy[/name_m]–like [name_m]Asher[/name_m], not so much [name_m]Jeremy[/name_m], but it’s ok in the middle spot
[name_m]Bennett[/name_m] [name_m]Samuel[/name_m]–I love this!
[name_m]Deacon[/name_m] [name_m]Timothy[/name_m]–sounds like a title/name
[name_m]Edmund[/name_m] [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m]–hmmm…not bad
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Holden[/name_m]–not a fan of [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], but the combo works
[name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] [name_m]Grayson[/name_m]–nice
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m] [name_m]Dominic[/name_m]–love it
[name_m]Judah[/name_m] [name_m]Finnegan[/name_m]–don’t really go together, though I like both names
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m] [name_m]Christopher[/name_m]–cute

[name_m]Albert[/name_m] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] – I like these names separately. Strong, but for some reason, they aren’t my favorite together.
[name_m]Asher[/name_m] [name_m]Jeremy[/name_m] – these two names seem to run into each other. What about [name_m]Asher[/name_m] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m]?
[name_m]Bennett[/name_m] [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] – [name_f]LOVE[/name_f] both of these names!!
[name_m]Deacon[/name_m] [name_m]Timothy[/name_m] – I’m not usually a fan of [name_m]Deacon[/name_m], but I love it in this pairing!
[name_m]Edmund[/name_m] [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] – he’ll grow up to be an inventor or scientist! I do love it.
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Holden[/name_m] – my favorite of your names! [name_f]Love[/name_f] it!!
[name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] [name_m]Grayson[/name_m] – sounds like a writer, but I really like it!
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m] [name_m]Dominic[/name_m] – I love [name_m]Hugo[/name_m], but I don’t know about it paired with [name_m]Dominic[/name_m]…
[name_m]Judah[/name_m] [name_m]Finnegan[/name_m] – I feel like both these names have obvious strong origins (Hebrew and Irish) and are a bit odd together
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m] [name_m]Christopher[/name_m] – All-American boy name. Probably a bit “boring” by nameberry standards ;p

[name_m]Albert[/name_m] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m]- old man
[name_m]Asher[/name_m] [name_m]Jeremy[/name_m]- [name_m]Asher[/name_m] is one of my favorites but I don’t like it paired with [name_m]Jeremy[/name_m]
[name_m]Bennett[/name_m] [name_m]Samuel[/name_m]- I would like it more [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] [name_m]Bennett[/name_m]
[name_m]Deacon[/name_m] [name_m]Timothy[/name_m]- I think it needs a different mn
[name_m]Edmund[/name_m] [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m]- I like [name_m]Edward[/name_m] better
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Holden[/name_m]- another old man
[name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] [name_m]Grayson[/name_m]- my favorite of your combos
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m] [name_m]Dominic[/name_m]- I don’t get why everybody is so crazy about [name_m]Hugo[/name_m]. To me it only works on Hispanic people
[name_m]Judah[/name_m] [name_m]Finnegan[/name_m]- just don’t like [name_m]Judah[/name_m]
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m] [name_m]Christopher[/name_m]- second favorite combo

Some great combinations! My favourites…

[name_m]Albert[/name_m] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] - Fantastic.
[name_m]Bennett[/name_m] [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] - Fantastic.
[name_m]Edmund[/name_m] [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] - I prefer the [name_m]Edmond[/name_m] spelling.
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Holden[/name_m] - I love [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], but I’d prefer a different middle. [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] is timeless, but [name_m]Holden[/name_m] seems trendy.
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m] [name_m]Dominic[/name_m] - I love both names, but not sure of the combo.
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m] [name_m]Christopher[/name_m] - Really sweet, but maybe a tad boring.

Not loving…

[name_m]Asher[/name_m] [name_m]Jeremy[/name_m] - [name_m]Asher[/name_m] is too biblical/trendy for me. [name_m]Jeremy[/name_m] seems outdated.
[name_m]Deacon[/name_m] [name_m]Timothy[/name_m] - [name_m]Deacon[/name_m] is too trendy. [name_m]Timothy[/name_m] is nice.
[name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] [name_m]Grayson[/name_m] - I have an irrational dislike of [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]. [name_m]Grayson[/name_m] is too trendy.
[name_m]Judah[/name_m] [name_m]Finnegan[/name_m] - [name_m]Finnegan[/name_m] is a cute middle, but [name_m]Judah[/name_m] is too biblical for me.
