[name_m]How[/name_m] do you choose/eliminate names or combinations?
I don’t really eliminate names, usually they just go onto a longer list of favorites I have. [name_f]My[/name_f] taste has pretty much stayed the same for the past two or three years but my top names have changed.

[name_m]How[/name_m] do you choose middles?
Usually it’s whatever I think sounds nice with the first name. I’m a big fan of classic and filler middle names because they pretty much go with anything. They aren’t that important to me and a lot of my favorite names share middle names so I don’t have very many set combinations.

What are your top 3 combinations off your list?
[name_f]Autumn[/name_f] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] or [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] or [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Victoria[/name_f]

What are everyone’s top 20 names for a girl? The first 10 are set, the other 10 are subject to change. (Apart from my top 10, I have 19 other combinations I like.) These aren’t in any order of preference.
[name_f]Antigone[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Poet[/name_f]
[name_f]Florence[/name_f] Melpomene [name_f]Drusilla[/name_f]
[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] [name_f]Artemisia[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]

[name_f]Tatiana[/name_f] Oenone [name_f]Helena[/name_f]

[name_m]How[/name_m] do you choose/eliminate names or combinations?
I let myself think about the name/combination for several days, and if I still like it as much as I originally did after several days, then it’s usually a keeper. If not, then it’s gone. With combinations, if the entire awkward feels or sounds awkward to me, then I’ll change it. If I want to narrow my list down, I’ll think hard about whether or not I’d actually name a child it. However, apart from having a set top 10, I’m not worried about narrowing the list down until I’m actually expecting.

[name_m]How[/name_m] do you choose middles?
I choose middles from a list of names I like, but don’t like enough to use as a first name. If the first name is more unusual, then I’ll pick a more common middle name. If the name is more common, then I’ll use a more out-there middle name.

What are your top 3 combinations off your list? I’m certain on [name_f]Antigone[/name_f] being my favourite, but the other two are subject to change.
[name_f]Antigone[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Poet[/name_f]
[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] [name_f]Artemisia[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]

24

I’m not using combinations because (to go a bit out of order) I love using family names as middle names. [name_f]My[/name_f] middle name is my paternal grandmother’s and my older sister’s is our maternal grandmother’s name. When I was younger, I thought it was an “old lady name” but I grew into it, and now I’m in love with the significance and I want to pass it along. (It’s [name_f]Elaine[/name_f], by the way.) So for middle names, I hope to be able to use all family names.

These are in no particular order:

  1. [name_f]Anna[/name_f]
  2. [name_f]Alice[/name_f]
  3. [name_f]Eloise[/name_f]
  4. [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]
  5. [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
  6. [name_f]Susannah[/name_f]
  7. [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f]
  8. [name_f]Lydia[/name_f]
  9. [name_f]Emma[/name_f]
  10. [name_f]Emily[/name_f]
  11. [name_f]Julia[/name_f]
  12. [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
  13. [name_f]Cerelia[/name_f]
  14. [name_f]Madeline[/name_f]
  15. [name_f]Miriam[/name_f]
  16. [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
  17. [name_f]Violet[/name_f]
  18. [name_f]Isabella[/name_f]
  19. [name_f]Elodie[/name_f]
  20. [name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f]

Three favorite name combinations of those:

  1. [name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Elaine[/name_f] [I really like [name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f], but since [name_f]Anna[/name_f] means gracious and my initials are also AE, I like this.]
  2. [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Elaine[/name_f] [Same initials as me!]
  3. [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] [Shares initials and a middle name with my sister!]

Mine is constantly changing because I kinda refuse to create a fix top 5/10/20. Also, I’m still not sure whether I actually want to use two middles or just one.

[name_f]My[/name_f] current top 20 names in no particular order, names inside the bracket are the second middle that I may or may not use.

  20. [name_f]Veronica[/name_f] [name_f]Aurelie[/name_f] ([name_f]Estelle[/name_f])

[name_m]How[/name_m] do you choose/eliminate names or combinations?
Personal significance, sound, meaning and story/history. I eliminate names if I think they lost their appeal after a while.

[name_m]How[/name_m] do you choose middles?
I mostly choose my combos based on the flow, sometimes meaning.

What are your top 3 combinations off your list?
Uh oh, this is difficult…
[name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] ([name_f]Cytherea[/name_f]) [name_f]Juliette[/name_f]
[name_f]Clementine[/name_f] [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] ([name_f]Audrey[/name_f])
[name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] [name_f]Vanessa[/name_f] ([name_f]Audrey[/name_f])

Ask me again next week and my answer will be different. :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m terrible at finding middles so my top 20 will be firsts only. Potential nicknames are in brackets.

  1. [name_f]Melody[/name_f] ([name_u]Mel[/name_u]/[name_f]Mellie[/name_f])
  2. [name_f]Esther[/name_f]
  3. [name_f]Leona[/name_f]
  4. [name_f]Clara[/name_f] ([name_f]Clari[/name_f])
  5. [name_f]Rose[/name_f] ([name_f]Rosie[/name_f])
  6. [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]
  7. [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]
  8. [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f] ([name_f]Els[/name_f]/[name_f]Elsie[/name_f])
  9. [name_f]Hermione[/name_f]
  10. [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]
  11. [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] (Lowie)
  12. [name_f]Helena[/name_f]
  13. [name_f]Rowena[/name_f]/Rowenna (can’t decide!)
  14. [name_f]Adele[/name_f]
  15. [name_f]Polly[/name_f]
  16. [name_f]Amelie[/name_f]
  17. [name_f]Romilly[/name_f] ([name_u]Romy[/name_u])
  18. [name_f]Celeste[/name_f]
  19. [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] ([name_f]Posey[/name_f]/[name_u]Jo[/name_u]-[name_u]Jo[/name_u])
  20. [name_f]Leonora[/name_f] ([name_m]Leo[/name_m]/[name_u]Nori[/name_u])

For first names, I choose them because I love them. I also sort certain ones into potential sibsets so sometimes I will find a new name in a certain style and fall in love with it. I eliminate names by thinking about them for a week or sometimes more and trying it out in different situations.

For middles, some of them are honour names or names with significance to me. Others I choose just because they flow well or because I love them as a guilty pleasure.

[name_f]My[/name_f] top 3 ever-changing combos are:
[name_f]Melody[/name_f] [name_f]Carina[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Leonora[/name_f]
[name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Hermione[/name_f]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Seraphine[/name_f]
(I lied, it’s actually four but I’m always so proud when I can come up with a combo I love that they’re all my favourites :))

Momo [name_f]Flora[/name_f] is my absolute top girls name. It has a lot of personal significance, it honours two of my most treasured family members (my nana and my great grandmother, now both sadly have passed away) and I absolutely am head over heels in love with it. The rest of the names are pretty much in no particular order.

1.) Momo [name_f]Flora[/name_f]
2.) Ducky [name_f]Anouk[/name_f]
3.) [name_f]Bunny[/name_f] [name_f]Maude[/name_f]

[name_m]How[/name_m] do you choose/eliminate names or combinations?:
I pick names that I can realistically see myself using. There are lots of names I love, but cannot see myself using. I pick combinations because I love the names individually, and the middles usually mean something to me. They don’t have to ‘flow’ perfectly, but I know when they sound ‘right’ to me, if that makes any sense.

Also, they names have to work in an everyday context. Can I see myself calling this name across a park, telling ________ to do their homework, telling ________ I love them, telling ________ they’d better tidy up their room right now! Can I see other people using this name, and this name being attached to a person, that will leave home, possibly have a family of their own, have a job, grow old? All the names on this list I have confidently answered yes to.

[name_m]How[/name_m] do you choose middles?
[name_f]Every[/name_f] middle either has a wonderful meaning or virtue, personal significance, is honorary (most are) or a combination. Plus, I have to adore the name.
Honorary middle names: [name_f]Flora[/name_f], [name_f]Anouk[/name_f], [name_f]Maude[/name_f], [name_f]Nan[/name_f], [name_f]Opal[/name_f], [name_f]Florence[/name_f], [name_f]Petra[/name_f], [name_m]Charles[/name_m], [name_f]Edith[/name_f] and [name_f]Thalassa[/name_f].

What are your top 3 combinations off your list?
Top 3 is really really hard (top 7 is super easy though: Momo [name_f]Flora[/name_f], Ducky [name_f]Anouk[/name_f], [name_u]Yuki[/name_u] [name_f]Florence[/name_f], [name_f]Bunny[/name_f] [name_f]Maude[/name_f], [name_f]Petal[/name_f] [name_f]Nan[/name_f], [name_f]Nanetta[/name_f] [name_u]Yuki[/name_u] [name_f]Florence[/name_f] and [name_f]Honey[/name_f] [name_f]Edith[/name_f]). Lets say:

Momo [name_f]Flora[/name_f]
Ducky [name_f]Anouk[/name_f]
[name_f]Petal[/name_f] [name_f]Nan[/name_f]

[name_m]How[/name_m] I choose/eliminate names:
You know, I’m not really sure. I don’t really have a ‘process’ as such - I just have names that hit me harder than others.

[name_m]How[/name_m] I you choose middles:
I generally like the middle names to have a family connection.

  19. [name_f]Delphine[/name_f]
  20. [name_f]Clarisse[/name_f]

[name_m]How[/name_m] do you choose/eliminate names or combinations?
I keep the ones I might actually use when the day comes I have a child. Some end up being too popular or I just grow old of it. Most of the ones on my top 20 have been favorites of mine for a while, some are newer favorites.

[name_m]How[/name_m] do you choose middles?
I don’t choose a bunch of middle names because I only want one kid. I have one middle name picked for a girl & one for a boy – both are family names.

What are your top 3 combinations off your list?
[name_f]My[/name_f] top 3 can change daily but today they are:

I choose names that I really like the sound of. Some of the names on my list are pretty popular, but I can’t get rid of them. I like them too much!

I like middle names that are either from family, have a great meaning, or sound great. Basically, anything goes. :slight_smile:

The only combination of names that I absolutely love is [name_f]Corinne[/name_f] [name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_f]Blythe[/name_f].

[name_f]My[/name_f] Top 20:

  1. Very special name that I’d rather not share to the public. If I have a baby girl one day, and she looks like this name, it will be the exact name that I give her- I just adore everything about it. I will say this, it is an Italian/Spanish word name.
  2. [name_f]Susannah[/name_f]

[name_m]How[/name_m] do you choose/eliminate names or combinations?:
Well, what eliminated most of the names on my list was the pronunciation test where I read them all out loud to myself. With my accent, pretty names like [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] and [name_f]Elisabet[/name_f] came out very awkward. I love them when said AS [name_m]Dore[/name_m]-uh-thea and E-lee-sah-bett, but with my accent they come out very flat and not so pretty as [name_m]Dore[/name_m]-thea, and [name_f]Alyssa[/name_f]-but. :confused:
Another way I narrowed down my list was picturing myself calling a child by the name. As gorgeous as [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] and [name_f]Antigone[/name_f] are, I couldn’t see myself sitting at the dining room table whilst keeping a straight face and saying, “So [name_f]Clementine[/name_f], what did you do at school today?” Or “[name_f]Antigone[/name_f], finish your vegetables.”
It helps me when I picture real life situations. [name_f]Imagine[/name_f] a nice teenage young man telling your teenage young lady in a soft voice, “I love you, [name_f]Arianwen[/name_f].” Doesn’t sound right to me.
Or signed on a diploma, “[name_f]Lilac[/name_f] Waterfall [name_m]Smith[/name_m]” …No no. :frowning:

[name_m]How[/name_m] do you choose middles?:
Middle names are usually spots for guilty pleasures of mine, names that I’d just never have the guts to use as a first. Such as [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f], [name_f]Odette[/name_f], [name_f]Rosemond[/name_f], [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], [name_f]Delphine[/name_f], [name_f]Laurette[/name_f], and so on. I’m also a big fan of [name_m]French[/name_m] names, obviously, haha, so I usually like the Frenchies for my girls middles.

What are your top 3 combinations off your list?:

[name_f]Susannah[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]
[name_f]Freya[/name_f] [name_f]Laurette[/name_f]
[name_f]Celia[/name_f] [name_f]Rosemond[/name_f]

  20. Emerson

Bonus!!!

  1. Vera
  2. Audra
  3. Addison

If I had to pick my top three names with middles it would be:
Maja Ruth
Marin Elizabeth
Elina Katharina

I find that it is hard to eliminate names off of my list so I just keep them on. I will fall in love with a name and then over time I fall out of love with that one and fall in love with other one. It is such a process, lol! As for middles names they tend to be family names or variations of family names, I would like to honor my family as much I possibly can, because they mean so much to me!

[name_f]My[/name_f] top 20-ish (no particular order):

[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]

[name_f]Greta[/name_f]
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f]
[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f]
[name_f]Irene[/name_f]

When I find a name I like, I jot it down. After a while, if I still quite like it, I’ll add it to my list. Once I love it, I run it past my husband. If it isn’t absolutely vetoed, it stays. The names that are bolded are the names we’d most likely use, in real life.

Middles aren’t on my top 20 list, since I’d only use family names.

Top 3 combinations…that’s tricky! I truly don’t know which my favourite three are, and there are obviously some choices on my list that couldn’t be paired together as sisters (such as [name_f]Elowen[/name_f], [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] and [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]). If I had to name three sisters today, I think I’d choose:

[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Kathryn[/name_f] [name_f]Elise[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] [name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Elaine[/name_f]
[name_f]Miriam[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Anne[/name_f]

or

[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] [name_f]Kathryn[/name_f] [name_f]Elise[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Elaine[/name_f]

  20. [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]

[name_f]My[/name_f] favorite name has been [name_f]Violet[/name_f] for as long as I remember, most of the other names rotate or get eliminated for various reasons like pop-culture references, popularity or that the DH doesn’t like them. As far as middles, I have several picked out and they all honor family members. They are much more concrete then the first names. [name_f]My[/name_f] top 3 combos are: [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f], [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] [name_u]Drew[/name_u] and [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] [name_u]Ray[/name_u].

What are everyone’s top 20 names for a girl? Mine are (not exactly in order) [name_f]Laia[/name_f], Nimue, [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], [name_f]Nahla[/name_f], [name_f]Arianwen[/name_f], [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f], [name_f]Adelia[/name_f], [name_f]Nerea[/name_f], [name_f]Juliet[/name_f], [name_f]Fae[/name_f], [name_f]Arabella[/name_f], [name_f]Amelie[/name_f], [name_f]Flora[/name_f], [name_f]Moon[/name_f], [name_f]Atara[/name_f], [name_f]Luna[/name_f], [name_f]Nephele[/name_f], [name_u]Seren[/name_u], [name_f]Moira[/name_f] and [name_f]Aisling[/name_f].
[name_m]How[/name_m] do you choose/eliminate names or combinations? oh, I don’t really know, they have to flow off the tongue well, some names just don’t “work”. And I have to feel like they “fit” me as a person, like a daughter or son of mine could actually have this name, it should feel familiar in a way. I also eliminate names if they do not sound good or have some sort of bad connection in both English and my native language.
[name_m]How[/name_m] do you choose middles? I don’t really think about middles much, I feel bad about committing to them in a way, and I want my future partner to have a say in that as well, haha. I don’t do family honorifics either. Sometimes I fall in love with the way certain names sound together, though.
What are your top 3 combinations off your list? [name_f]Laia[/name_f] Nimue, [name_f]Arianwen[/name_f] [name_f]Fae[/name_f], Nimue [name_f]Aisling[/name_f] (I really love Nimue, hehe).
