BOYS
[name]Seth[/name] [name]Austin[/name]- Thisi s okay. Bot names are a tad too popular for my taste.
[name]Thomas[/name] [name]Gordon[/name]- For some reason I never like [name]Thomas[/name], but I think it works with [name]Gordon[/name].
[name]Carter[/name] [name]Joseph[/name]- Also don’t like the names individualy, but they go well together.
[name]James[/name] [name]Nathan[/name]- This is alright. Not my style.
[name]Logan[/name] [name]Michael[/name]- Deffinetly not my style. [name]Logan[/name] and [name]Michael[/name] are very dated to me.
[name]Kenneth[/name] [name]William[/name]- [name]Don[/name]'t like. [name]Kenneth[/name] is one of those names I just can’t stand.
[name]Asher[/name] [name]Jay[/name]- I really like [name]Asher[/name], just not with [name]Jay[/name]. [name]Asher[/name] [name]Hugh[/name] or [name]Asher[/name] [name]Bay[/name]?
GIRLS
[name]Tessa[/name] [name]Marie[/name]- Never really like [name]Tessa[/name], and I"ve always preffered [name]Marie[/name] in the first spot.
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Jo[/name]- [name]Love[/name] [name]Violet[/name], just not with [name]Jo[/name]. [name]Violet[/name] [name]Josephine[/name]? [name]Violet[/name] [name]Johanna[/name]?
[name]Erica[/name] [name]Beth[/name]- NMS
[name]Lydia[/name] [name]May[/name]- [name]Love[/name] this.
[name]Nola[/name] [name]Juliette[/name]- Really like this too, but I think the [name]Juliet[/name] spelling is better.
[name]Joanna[/name] [name]Kathryn[/name]- [name]Joanna[/name] is alright, but I don’t like that spelling of [name]Katherine[/name].
[name]Lilly[/name] [name]Diane[/name] - Also okay, but [name]Lilly[/name] is just so popular!
[name]Seth[/name] [name]Austin[/name] - I like [name]Seth[/name] [name]Austin[/name], I don’t love it. Its very 2012. I give it an 8 out of 10. Its a solid name just nms.
[name]Thomas[/name] [name]Gordon[/name] - again, this one is okay. I like [name]Thomas[/name], its a solid classic name but I don’t like [name]Gordon[/name] because it sounds like someone is saying their first and last name, first name [name]Thomas[/name], last name [name]Gordon[/name]. I also don’t like that they are both 2 syllables. I give this name a 7 out of ten and suggest you change the middle name to something that sounds more like a given name and has a different amount of syllables.
[name]James[/name] [name]Nathan[/name] - [name]Love[/name] this name obviously. Its classic yet it will fit in nicely with all the Jacksons and Aidens running around. 10 out of 10.
[name]Logan[/name] [name]Michael[/name] - Its fine, just very trendy and generic. [name]Logan[/name] is a very popular name and [name]Michael[/name] is a very popular middle name. There are going to be thousands of other [name]Logan[/name] Michaels running around but if that doesnt bother you than I give it a 7.
[name]Kenneth[/name] [name]William[/name] - [name]Kenneth[/name] seems very old school to me, like it belongs on a man in his forties and not a little boy. I just couldnt imagine meeting a baby called [name]Kenneth[/name]. [name]William[/name] is great though. I give this name a 6.
[name]Asher[/name] [name]Jay[/name] - This name reminds me of the author [name]Jay[/name] [name]Asher[/name] but it doesnt bother me. Personally, I like [name]Asher[/name] [name]Jay[/name] much better. I give it a 9.
[name]Tessa[/name] [name]Marie[/name] - i like [name]Tessa[/name] just fine. Its pretty and it ages well but itjust doesn’t jump out at me with the filler middle name [name]Marie[/name]. I understand that the mn [name]Marie[/name] can be a family tradition for a lot of people but almost everyone I know has it as a middle name and to me it can easily make a name bland. I give it a 7, an 8 if you change the middle name.
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Jo[/name] - Obviouly I love [name]Violet[/name]. I love the imagery it invokes when you hear it. The middle name [name]Jo[/name] ruins it though. To me, [name]Jo[/name] is a very masculine middle name. It takes away from the elegance and femininity of [name]Violet[/name]. [name]Violet[/name] [name]Josephine[/name], [name]Violet[/name] [name]Joanna[/name] or even [name]Violet[/name] [name]Jolie[/name] would be better while still keeping the [name]Jo[/name] in there. I would give [name]Violet[/name] a 10 without the [name]Jo[/name]. With it, the name gets a 6.
[name]Erica[/name] [name]Beth[/name] - this name gives me a very 1980’s feel. It just seems very dated. 5 out of 10.
[name]Lydia[/name] [name]May[/name] - Classic, elegant, beautiful. [name]Love[/name] it. 10 out of 10.
[name]Nola[/name] [name]Juliette[/name] - Very old fasioned, which just happens to be my style. 9 out of 10.
[name]Joanna[/name] [name]Kathryn[/name] - I just love [name]Joanna[/name]. A lot of people think its dated but I just think of that beautiful song from [name]Sweeny[/name] [name]Todd[/name], I know thats kind of weird. The middle name [name]Kathryn[/name] spelled the way it is does make it look very dated though. [name]Joanna[/name] [name]Catherine[/name] spelled this way looks much more timeless. Spelt this way I give it an 8.
[name]Lilly[/name] [name]Diane[/name] - [name]Lilly[/name] is so cute, though I prefer it spelt [name]Lily[/name] with one L. [name]Diane[/name] is nice but not my favorite. I like [name]Lily[/name] [name]Diana[/name] much better. It sounds fresher and prettier. Either way I give it a 7.
[name]LOVE[/name]
[name]James[/name] [name]Nathan[/name] - I like seeing [name]James[/name] in the fn spot
[name]Logan[/name] [name]Michael[/name]
[name]Kenneth[/name] [name]William[/name] - this is my grandfather’s name!
[name]Nola[/name] [name]Juliette[/name] - I love the uniqueness of [name]Nola[/name] with the familiarity and frilliness of [name]Juliette[/name] (though I prefer [name]Juliet[/name], personally).

[name]Seth[/name] [name]Austin[/name]
[name]Thomas[/name] [name]Gordon[/name]
[name]Carter[/name] [name]Joseph[/name]
[name]Asher[/name] [name]Jay[/name] - I love [name]Asher[/name], but not with [name]Jay[/name]. [name]Asher[/name] [name]William[/name], for instance, would have been in the above category for me.
[name]Lilly[/name] [name]Diane[/name] - I would love this if it were [name]Lily[/name] [name]Diana[/name]!
[name]Tessa[/name] [name]Marie[/name] - I adore [name]Tessa[/name], but find [name]Marie[/name] boring and over-done as a mn. Unless it has meaning for you.
[name]Lydia[/name] [name]May[/name]
[name]Joanna[/name] [name]Kathryn[/name] - this seems a little dated, perhaps [name]Katherine[/name]/[name]Catherine[/name] would freshen it up. It flows very nicely though.
DISLIKE
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Jo[/name] - I don’t like this much, but I’d [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Lily[/name] [name]Josephine[/name].
[name]Erica[/name] [name]Beth[/name] - seems dated, very 80’s to me. What about [name]Aria[/name] [name]Beth[/name]? or [name]Bethany[/name] or [name]Elisabeth[/name] instead of just [name]Beth[/name]?
You have some really fantastic combinations here, and lots of potential.
[name]Seth[/name] [name]Austin[/name] - [name]Seth[/name] is ok but [name]Austin[/name] is not my style. This combo tries too hard to be cool. Rating: 4/10
[name]Thomas[/name] [name]Gordon[/name] - I love [name]Thomas[/name] and [name]Gordon[/name] is a fine Scottish surname. This combo flows well. Rating: 8/10
[name]Carter[/name] [name]Joseph[/name] - I would much prefer [name]Joseph[/name] as a first name because I have an aversion to [name]Carter[/name]. Rating: 3/10
[name]James[/name] [name]Nathan[/name] - A little heavy on the “ay” sound but the names are quite nice. Rating: 7/10
[name]Logan[/name] [name]Michael[/name] - [name]Logan[/name] is too trendy and overused and [name]Michael[/name] is bland. Rating: 5/10
[name]Kenneth[/name] [name]William[/name] - [name]Kenneth[/name] is somewhat dated for me and [name]William[/name] is a traditional name that have never been a fave of mine (however, you’ll find that I hold the minority opinion here on Nameberry). Having said that, the combo flows well. Rating: 7/10
[name]Asher[/name] [name]Jay[/name] - [name]Asher[/name] is a more contemporary sounding Biblical name but I don’t really think the combo sounds good. Rating: 5/10
GIRLS
[name]Tessa[/name] [name]Marie[/name] - I prefer just [name]Tess[/name] but this combo sounds ok. Rating: 6/10
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Jo[/name] - I love [name]Violet[/name] but [name]Jo[/name] diminishes the name a bit for me. Rating: 7/10
[name]Erica[/name] [name]Beth[/name] - Kind of a bland combo with the names blending into each other to form one long one (Ericabeth). Rating: 5/10
[name]Lydia[/name] [name]May[/name] - Very pretty combo. Rating: 8/10
[name]Nola[/name] [name]Juliette[/name] - An unusual pairing but I think the names work well together. Rating: 7/10
[name]Joanna[/name] [name]Kathryn[/name] - This combo flows well but I don’t like the modern spelling of [name]Kathryn[/name]. Rating: 7/10
[name]Lilly[/name] [name]Diane[/name] - Nothing wrong with sound of this combo but I think [name]Lily[/name] [name]Diana[/name] would be a lot better. Rating: 7/10
Your girl name list is more appealing to me than your boys list.
BOYS
[name]Seth[/name] [name]Austin[/name] - [name]Seth[/name] is pleasant but not really my thing. [name]Austin[/name] is nice enough but I prefer [name]August[/name]. [name]Seth[/name] [name]Austin[/name] is, however, a solid name. 7
[name]Thomas[/name] [name]Gordon[/name] - I don’t like either of these names at all but they are classic enough. I do have some issues with the 2-2 rhythm though. 4
[name]Carter[/name] [name]Joseph[/name] - [name]Joseph[/name] is okay. 2
[name]James[/name] [name]Nathan[/name] - I like this one a lot. Good combo, too. 2nd favourite. 9
[name]Logan[/name] [name]Michael[/name] - I find [name]Logan[/name] really grating, but I like [name]Michael[/name]. 4
[name]Kenneth[/name] [name]William[/name] - Nice. 7
[name]Asher[/name] [name]Jay[/name] - This is my favourite of your boy combos. 10
GIRLS
[name]Tessa[/name] [name]Marie[/name] - I like [name]Tessa[/name] okay, but find [name]Marie[/name] dull as a middle, I prefer [name]Marie[/name] up front or not at all. 5
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Jo[/name] - Cute, spunky. 8
[name]Erica[/name] [name]Beth[/name] - [name]Erica[/name] I find pointier and less appealing than [name]Erin[/name], but its not tired or overused and everyone can say it so I have to give [name]Erica[/name] credit for that. But really my issue is with [name]Beth[/name], I find [name]Beth[/name] one of the duller nicks for [name]Elizabeth[/name], and I’d probably take [name]Erica[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] over [name]Erica[/name] [name]Beth[/name]. 4
[name]Lydia[/name] [name]May[/name] - Very pretty. 9
[name]Nola[/name] [name]Juliette[/name] - Very pretty, though I think [name]Juliet[/name] is less fussy and just as romantic. 9
[name]Joanna[/name] [name]Kathryn[/name] - I like [name]Joanna[/name] more than [name]Joanne[/name] but less than [name]Johanna[/name]. I know [name]Kathryn[/name] spelt this way dates to the Middle Ages and is not really mispelled at all, but I like [name]Catherine[/name]/[name]Katharine[/name] more unless [name]Kathryn[/name] is for someone. 8
[name]Lilly[/name] [name]Diane[/name] - I find [name]Lilly[/name] more awkward than [name]Lily[/name] and [name]Diane[/name] very dated compared to [name]Diana[/name]/[name]Athena[/name]/[name]Selena[/name] any number of goddess options. 5
BOYS:
[name]Seth[/name] [name]Austin[/name]- I don’t know why but I just don’t like the look of this one.
[name]Thomas[/name] [name]Gordon[/name]- I don’t think these names go very well together. Also, [name]Gordon[/name] has always turned me off.
[name]Carter[/name] [name]Joseph[/name]- I like both names individually but not together.
[name]James[/name] [name]Nathan[/name]- Not a fan of [name]Nathan[/name] but they work together.
[name]Logan[/name] [name]Michael[/name]- Rather plain. I like both names though.
[name]Kenneth[/name] [name]William[/name]- [name]Love[/name] [name]William[/name]. Loathe [name]Kenneth[/name].
[name]Asher[/name] [name]Jay[/name]- I’m a huge fan of both of these names but I think it’s rather casual. Maybe a more traditional mn?
GIRLS:
[name]Tessa[/name] [name]Marie[/name]- I think I would like this better if I didn’t already know a girl with this exact name. Also, [name]Marie[/name] is so overused.
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Jo[/name]- Absolutely love this. Especially [name]Jo[/name] as the middle name.
[name]Erica[/name] [name]Beth[/name]- Eh.
[name]Lydia[/name] [name]May[/name]- Again, I think I would like this name better if I didn’t already know someone with this name.
[name]Nola[/name] [name]Juliette[/name]- I think I may love this even more than [name]Violet[/name] [name]Jo[/name].
[name]Joanna[/name] [name]Kathryn[/name]- I like [name]Joanna[/name] (well, actually [name]Johanna[/name]) but I’ve never been a big fan of [name]Kathryn[/name].
[name]Lilly[/name] [name]Diane[/name]- I like [name]Diana[/name] better than [name]Diane[/name] but it’s pretty. It lacks pizzazz though.
BOYS
[name]Seth[/name] [name]Austin[/name] - love [name]Seth[/name], though dislike [name]Austin[/name], and it doesn’t seem to fit next to [name]Seth[/name]. [name]Thomas[/name] [name]Gordon[/name] - love! Although [name]Thomas[/name] isn’t my favorite name, this flows really well.
[name]Carter[/name] [name]Joseph[/name] - I don’t like [name]Carter[/name] much. Seems like his going to cater to others all his life.
[name]James[/name] [name]Nathan[/name] - love [name]James[/name], but I feel like it doesn’t flow well with [name]Nathan[/name]. This would depend on your last name a lot.
[name]Logan[/name] [name]Michael[/name] - eh. [name]Kenneth[/name] [name]William[/name] - Two of my favorites!
[name]Asher[/name] [name]Jay[/name] - the male version of [name]Cinderella[/name].
GIRLS
[name]Tessa[/name] [name]Marie[/name] - would prefer [name]Tess[/name] or [name]Tressa[/name] or [name]Theresa[/name].
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Jo[/name] - why just [name]Jo[/name]? [name]Love[/name] [name]Violet[/name], though. ([name]Just[/name] saw [name]Beth[/name]. Going for [name]Little[/name] Women names? )
[name]Erica[/name] [name]Beth[/name] - flows really nicely, even though [name]Erica[/name] isn’t one of my favorites. [name]Lydia[/name] [name]May[/name] - so pretty!
[name]Nola[/name] [name]Juliette[/name] - prefer [name]Nora[/name] and I just don’t like [name]Juliette[/name].
[name]Joanna[/name] [name]Kathryn[/name] - not bad, and if she ever talks about her middle name she’ll be going, “Spelled r-y-n.” [name]Lilly[/name] [name]Diane[/name] - pretty! The double ll might prove challenging, i.e. “I’m [name]Lily[/name] with two l’s.”
BOYS
[name]Seth[/name] [name]Austin[/name] - [name]Seth[/name] is just ok to me, but I don’t dislike it. I love [name]Austin[/name]. [name]Austin[/name] [name]Seth[/name] might have a little more spunk.
[name]Thomas[/name] [name]Gordon[/name] - I think [name]Jordan[/name] sounds much fresher than [name]Gordon[/name], but either way the name has a great flow with the solid [name]Thomas[/name].
[name]Carter[/name] [name]Joseph[/name] - I’ve never liked the hard “f” sound in [name]Joseph[/name], but the name flows.
[name]James[/name] [name]Nathan[/name] - These are both great names but I think [name]Nathan[/name] [name]James[/name] sounds better. I really like this one either way though. [name]Logan[/name] [name]Michael[/name] - Another great choice, and [name]Michael[/name] [name]Logan[/name] would be equally nice.
[name]Kenneth[/name] [name]William[/name] - [name]Kenneth[/name] isn’t my favorite, but I love [name]William[/name], and the names match well. [name]Asher[/name] [name]Jay[/name] - This one seems different from the rest of your list but I really like it!
GIRLS [name]Tessa[/name] [name]Marie[/name] - I love this name! Gorgeous first and middle.
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Jo[/name] - I love [name]Violet[/name], but [name]Jo[/name] is just alright to me. It seems incomplete. But then again, a two-letter name is nice and straight to the point. [name]Erica[/name] [name]Beth[/name] - Well [name]Erica[/name] is my name so I’m biased ([name]Erica[/name] [name]Lynn[/name]), but I really like [name]Erica[/name] [name]Beth[/name].
[name]Lydia[/name] [name]May[/name] - Very elegant!
[name]Nola[/name] [name]Juliette[/name] - This one is unusual and pretty! [name]Nola[/name] was on my list for a while, I really like it.
[name]Joanna[/name] [name]Kathryn[/name] - I love [name]Joanna[/name] and [name]Johanna[/name]. And [name]Kathryn[/name] is timeless.
[name]Lilly[/name] [name]Diane[/name] - I really like this one too. I might prefer [name]Lily[/name] [name]Diana[/name] though.
BOYS
[name]Seth[/name] [name]Austin[/name] - Nice!
[name]Thomas[/name] [name]Gordon[/name] - I like [name]Thomas[/name] better as a middle name. I am not a fan of [name]Gordon[/name].
[name]Carter[/name] [name]Joseph[/name] - [name]Carter[/name] is NMS.
[name]James[/name] [name]Nathan[/name] - [name]Both[/name] are nice names on their own, but the repeated long-A sound detracts from the flow.
[name]Logan[/name] [name]Michael[/name] - Ok. I am not a big fan of [name]Logan[/name] though.
[name]Kenneth[/name] [name]William[/name] - Nice! I’ve always loved [name]Kenneth[/name].
[name]Asher[/name] [name]Jay[/name] - Ok.
GIRLS
[name]Tessa[/name] [name]Marie[/name] - Ok.
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Jo[/name] - I love [name]Violet[/name], but not a big fan of [name]Jo[/name]. [name]Violet[/name] [name]Josephine[/name] would be wonderful.
[name]Erica[/name] [name]Beth[/name] - Pretty!
[name]Lydia[/name] [name]May[/name] - Pretty!
[name]Nola[/name] [name]Juliette[/name] - [name]Nola[/name] is NMS, but I love [name]Juliette[/name]. The combination flows very well.
[name]Joanna[/name] [name]Kathryn[/name] - Pretty! But I like [name]Joanna[/name] [name]Catherine[/name] ever more.
[name]Lilly[/name] [name]Diane[/name] - Ok, but I’m not a big fan of [name]Lilly[/name].

[name]Logan[/name] [name]Michael[/name] - [name]Love[/name]!
[name]Kenneth[/name] [name]William[/name] - NMS really… sounds like a middle aged guy.

GIRLS
[name]Tessa[/name] [name]Marie[/name] - Like.
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Jo[/name] - [name]Violet[/name] is nice but [name]Jo[/name] seems incomplete.
[name]Erica[/name] [name]Beth[/name] - Not bad, a little 80s sounding to me though.
[name]Lydia[/name] [name]May[/name] - Nice.
[name]Nola[/name] [name]Juliette[/name] - It’s ok… what about [name]Nora[/name] [name]Juliet[/name]?
[name]Joanna[/name] [name]Kathryn[/name] - It’s ok.
