Those first names have all been on my own list! I ultimately voted for [name_f]Tess[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f], because it’s just so perfect in every way with big sis’s name, but [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Rafaela[/name_f] is also especially stunning. It just feels a little more boho/exotic than Marg0t’s uber-classic, sophisticated full name to me.
Our family heritage is quite a confusing mishmash! So actually [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Rafaela[/name_f] is a combination of family names from both Jewish and Italian sides - although I think technically it would be Raphaella. I think [name_f]Tess[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] is probably my favourite of the whole batch, at least today. But it’s also one of the only ones without an honour initial for the first name, which makes it much harder to get my OH excited about it.
This was a really tough one. I love several of these - [name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f], [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Rafaela[/name_f], [name_f]Tess[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f], [name_f]Anouk[/name_f] [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] and [name_f]Anya[/name_f] [name_f]Seraphine[/name_f].
Much as I love both [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] and [name_f]Rafaela[/name_f] and love them together, I crossed this off because I feel [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] as a younger sister to [name_f]Margot[/name_f] risks becoming the ‘sweet one’ next to the ‘grown-up one’. I crossed off [name_f]Anouk[/name_f] [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] as I don’t love [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] as much though they work together, same with [name_f]Anya[/name_f] [name_f]Seraphine[/name_f]. [name_f]Anouk[/name_f] is great but not well known so not sure if that will cause issues. [name_f]Anya[/name_f] is perfect with [name_f]Margot[/name_f] though. Then it came down to [name_f]Flora[/name_f] and [name_f]Tess[/name_f] - love both and love the middles and how they work together, and voted for [name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] though tomorrow it could be [name_f]Tess[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f]!
I really love [name_f]Anya[/name_f] [name_f]Seraphine[/name_f]. I also like [name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Coralie[/name_f] and [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Rafaela[/name_f].
I’d love to hear some alternative middles for [name_f]Anouk[/name_f] if [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] doesn’t seem quite right - I’m not hugely attached to [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f], although I do like the feminist connotations and I think [name_f]Anouk[/name_f] works well with a vowel-y middle.
I voted for [name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] but I think [name_f]Tess[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] is the best match to M@rg0t J0sephine
I adore [name_f]Anya[/name_f] [name_f]Seraphine[/name_f]… I might even have to steal her! [name_f]Anya[/name_f] is one of my absolute favorite names and [name_f]Seraphine[/name_f]/[name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] is so lovely and flows so well.
I also love [name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] and [name_f]Tess[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f]!
I think [name_f]Anouk[/name_f] [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] works well as a combo, and I like the suffragette reference as well - it’s just not a favourite in the same way that I love eg both [name_f]Flora[/name_f] and [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] and both [name_f]Tess[/name_f] and [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f]. I prefer [name_f]Anouk[/name_f] [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] and [name_f]Anouk[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] personally, because I love the middles as well.
[name_f]Anouk[/name_f] [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] and [name_f]Tess[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] are my two favorites! I don’t know that I can pick between the two haha. They’re both perfect!
I also voted for [name_f]Tess[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f]! So pretty. [name_f]Anya[/name_f] [name_f]Seraphine[/name_f] and [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Rafaela[/name_f] were close seconds
