I went with [name_m]Maddox[/name_m] [name_m]Paul[/name_m]. The only one I’m really opposed to is [name_u]Mason[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u]. With [name_u]Mason[/name_u] being such a popular first name and [name_u]James[/name_u] being such a popular middle name, [name_u]Mason[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] feels very generic.

[name_m]Maddox[/name_m]
[name_u]Hudson[/name_u]
[name_m]Donovan[/name_m]
[name_m]Josiah[/name_m]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]
[name_f]Leola[/name_f] [name_f]Ethel[/name_f]
[name_f]Fiammetta[/name_f] [name_u]November[/name_u]

I think [name_m]Maddox[/name_m] and [name_u]Mason[/name_u] are going to be dated to this generation, but I prefer [name_m]Maddox[/name_m].
[name_m]Holden[/name_m]
[name_m]Donovan[/name_m]
[name_u]Rylan[/name_u]
[name_m]Joseph[/name_m]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] ([name_f]Eliza[/name_f] is lovely, too)
[name_f]Leola[/name_f] [name_f]Isobel[/name_f]
[name_f]Fiammetta[/name_f] [name_u]November[/name_u]

[name_u]Mason[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] is like [name_u]James[/name_u] [name_u]Mason[/name_u] (the world famous actor). Unless that’s intentional, I would consider something else.

I like [name_m]Holden[/name_m] and [name_u]Hudson[/name_u], the rest of the names aren’t my cup of tea although I noticed the names in your sign off and like [name_f]Avalon[/name_f]. My little girls name nn is [name_f]Avy[/name_f] but Aavie is a cuter way of spelling it :slight_smile:

From the boys names I like [name_m]Maddox[/name_m], [name_m]Donovan[/name_m] & [name_m]Joseph[/name_m]. From the girls [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] and [name_f]Vera[/name_f].

[name_m]Maddox[/name_m] or [name_u]Mason[/name_u]? - Neither is a fave but I prefer [name_u]Mason[/name_u]. [name_m]Maddox[/name_m] just looks like “mad ox” to me.
[name_m]Holden[/name_m] or [name_u]Hudson[/name_u]? - [name_m]Holden[/name_m] is “softer”. I don’t like the unattractive “Hud” part of [name_u]Hudson[/name_u].
[name_m]Cordovan[/name_m] or [name_m]Donovan[/name_m]? - [name_m]Donovan[/name_m] no question! [name_m]Cordovan[/name_m] is just odd and I don’t like the “cord” in the first syllable.
Rial or [name_u]Rylan[/name_u]? - Neither name. Why not [name_m]Riel[/name_m] or Rielle? Rial is odd and [name_u]Rylan[/name_u]/[name_m]Ryland[/name_m] is trendy.
[name_m]Josiah[/name_m] or [name_m]Joseph[/name_m]? - I love both names but [name_m]Josiah[/name_m] is one of my favourite Biblical names.
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] or [name_f]Eliza[/name_f]? - I like both names but [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] is more majestic.

[name_f]Leola[/name_f] [name_f]Ethel[/name_f] or [name_f]Leola[/name_f] [name_f]Isobel[/name_f]? - Neither combo is ideal because they’re too heavy on the l’s. I prefer the name [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] as a first name ([name_f]Isobel[/name_f] [name_f]Leola[/name_f])
[name_f]Vera[/name_f] [name_u]November[/name_u] or [name_f]Fiammetta[/name_f] [name_u]November[/name_u]? - I like both first names but I think I’ll vote for [name_f]Fiammetta[/name_f]. [name_f]Vera[/name_f] Novemeber has one too many V’s.

[name_m]Maddox[/name_m] or [name_u]Mason[/name_u]? - I’m not the biggest fan of either, but [name_m]Maddox[/name_m] sounds like a medicine or a variety of chicken pox. The strain of maddox virus.
[name_m]Holden[/name_m] or [name_u]Hudson[/name_u]? - [name_m]Holden[/name_m] all the way. [name_f]One[/name_f] is a cool literary reference, the other reminds me of a dirty river.
[name_m]Cordovan[/name_m] or [name_m]Donovan[/name_m]? - I’m not familiar with [name_m]Cordovan[/name_m], so [name_m]Donovan[/name_m] for me.
Rial or [name_u]Rylan[/name_u]? - I’ve never heard of either of these, and don’t even know how to approach pronouncing them.
[name_m]Josiah[/name_m] or [name_m]Joseph[/name_m]? - Though I’d be weary of nickname [name_m]Joe[/name_m] on either of these.
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] or [name_f]Eliza[/name_f]? - [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] has always sounded unattractive to me, while [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] is regal and beautiful.

[name_f]Leola[/name_f] [name_f]Ethel[/name_f] or [name_f]Leola[/name_f] [name_f]Isobel[/name_f]? - [name_f]Leola[/name_f] [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] has a much better flow.
[name_f]Vera[/name_f] [name_u]November[/name_u] or [name_f]Fiammetta[/name_f] [name_u]November[/name_u]? - I only like the vair-uh pronunciation of [name_f]Vera[/name_f], plus, [name_f]Fiammetta[/name_f] is gorgeous, particularly paired with [name_u]November[/name_u].

[name_m]Maddox[/name_m]
[name_m]Holden[/name_m]
[name_m]Donovan[/name_m]
[name_u]Rylan[/name_u]
[name_m]Joseph[/name_m]
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f]

[name_f]Leola[/name_f] [name_f]Isobel[/name_f]
Prefer [name_f]Vera[/name_f] but with [name_u]November[/name_u] I think I have to go with [name_f]Fiammetta[/name_f]

[name_m]Maddox[/name_m]
[name_m]Holden[/name_m]
[name_m]Donovan[/name_m]
[name_u]Rylan[/name_u]
[name_m]Joseph[/name_m]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]

[name_f]Leola[/name_f] [name_f]Isobel[/name_f]
[name_f]Vera[/name_f] [name_u]November[/name_u]

I prefer [name_m]Maddox[/name_m] over [name_u]Mason[/name_u], but [name_u]Mason[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] just goes better than [name_m]Maddox[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]. And I just prefer the name [name_u]James[/name_u] over [name_m]Paul[/name_m].
