Why am I rubbish at middles?! Help wanted!

[Bemsy_1]

So I have a list of first names I love, and list of many middles I like but I can’t seem to put them together to make effective combinations!
I know so many of you on here manage to make wonderful, striking and classy sounding combinations so I would like your help- using the names below, or adding our own.
(The starred names are the ones I would really like combos for but you can do the others if you want to)

First names-
[name_f]Persephone[/name_f]*
[name_f]Astoria[/name_f]*
[name_f]Hermione[/name_f]*
[name_f]Indira[/name_f]
[name_f]Mariposa[/name_f]
[name_f]Thessaly[/name_f]
[name_f]Ariadne[/name_f]
Isadora

Middle names-
[name_f]Luna[/name_f]
[name_f]Lilac[/name_f]
[name_u]Echo[/name_u]
[name_f]Nova[/name_f]
[name_f]Cleo[/name_f]
[name_f]Petra[/name_f]
[name_f]Astrid[/name_f]
[name_u]Fable[/name_u]
[name_f]Sonnet[/name_f]
[name_f]Leda[/name_f]
[name_u]Vesper[/name_u]
[name_f]Tempest[/name_f]
[name_f]Juno[/name_f]
[name_f]Lux[/name_f]
[name_f]Signe[/name_f]

(On a side note: I’ve been posting on here a lot over the last couple of days and I’m sorry if that becomes annoying- my dog died on Friday and being on here helps me forget how empty the house feels! So basically sorry for all the threads but thanks for the distractions!)

I used to have the exact same problem and still do from time to time. I received advice one time that really helped me learn to make combos so it may help you. I was told that a lot of people look for a middle that they find just as amazing as the first name when it is actually a better idea to look for a name that compliments the first. Something that brings out the charm that attracted to you to the first name in the first place instead of one that sines just as bright as the first name. This changed my thinking when looking at middles so it may help you some as well when looking at combos in the future.

[christabel]

I’ll just pick my favorite middle name with each first name.

[name_f]Persephone[/name_f] [name_f]Astrid[/name_f]
[name_f]Astoria[/name_f] [name_f]Cleo[/name_f]
[name_f]Hermione[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f]
[name_f]Indira[/name_f] [name_f]Juno[/name_f]
[name_f]Mariposa[/name_f] [name_f]Lux[/name_f]
[name_f]Thessaly[/name_f] [name_f]Nova[/name_f] (my favorite)
[name_f]Ariadne[/name_f] [name_f]Luna[/name_f]
[name_f]Isadora[/name_f] [name_u]Vesper[/name_u]

I really like [name_f]Leda[/name_f] too but it didn’t seem to flow with any of the first names.

Sorry about your dog. I hope things get better for you.
