[Opinions] Charles and Isabel
Would like some opinions on these: (Sorry it's a long list but it was the last week of university and I was computerless with few DVDs/books so what else was there to do but make lists of names :D )
I know some will probably sound better reversed but Charles and Isabel are my top names for they are the fn regardless)Charles Augustus
Charles Darcy
Charles Edward
Charles Patrick
Charles John
Charles Frederick
Charles Henry
Charles Tristan
Charles Arthur
Charles Aubrey
Charles Albert
Charles David
Charles Finley
Charles Iain
Charles Percival
Charles Edmund
Charles Angus
Charles Tierney
Charles Emmett
Charles Emeric
Charles Rory
Charles Alastair
Charles Sidney
Charles Alaric
Charles Roderick
Charles Benedict
Charles Brynmor
Charles Rhys
Charles Rupert
Charles Piers
Charles Gregor
Charles Lachlan
Charles FrankIsabel Marigold
Isabel Freya
Isabel Frances
Isabel Margaret
Isabel Joia
Isabel Carys
Isabel Flora

Isabel Lilias
Isabel Katharina

Isabel Maria
Isabel Josephine
Isabel Constance
Isabel Celeste
Isabel Niamh
Isabel Daisy
Isabel Florence
Isabel Poppy
Isabel Euphemia
Isabel Bridget
Isabel Cecilia
Isabel Molly
Isabel Sunshine (yes, I know, but it’s a long time since I’ve had a name that ‘clicked’ immediately like this)
Isabel Beatrice (I have little hope in posting this, usually when I post something (on any board) it has an average of some three replies which is not that helpful really)

~Louise xLister: Kryten 2X4B 523P? Is that your full name?
Kryten: Yes, but I don't like the 2X4B. Such a dorky middle name. Then again, I knew an android who's middle name was 2Q4B.

Woah, that's a lot of combos! ;-DAs usual, I think most of your combos are great. In fact, I think it'd be easier on my part to list the combos I think don't flow the best:
Charles Angus - The double -s endings don't sound the best to me
Charles Sidney - Most names where the fn ends in the same letter the mn starts with flow too well to me, and result in the combo sounding like one name to me. This is no exception: this sounds like Charlesidney to me
Charles Rhys - See Charles Angus. Also, this combo sounds a little hissy to me, because I especially emphasise Rhys's S sound
Charles Piers - DittoIsabel Marigold - This is pretty decent, but it sounds a little long; most 3-3 syllablically patterned combos do to me
Isabel Joia - This just doesn't flow great imo. It has something to do with Joia's J sound, but otherwise I can't put my finger on precisely why this combo doesn't sound good to me
Isabel Honora - See Isabel Marigold
Isabel Fiona - Ditto
Isabel Verena - Tritto
Isabel Lilias - Quartto. Also, this is heavy on the Ls for my ears
Isabel Maria - Um, Quintto? Maria Isabel sounds better to me, probably because I'm used to it as a common Hispanic combo
Isabel Josephine - Er, Sextto?

I really *love* these ones:Charles Frederick - I have always loved this one, it flows perfectly as well
Charles Henry
Charles Edmund Isabel Freya
Isabel Frances
Isabel Constance
Isabel Daisy - ver cute
Isabel Sunshine - I love this! :)
Isabel Beatrice - *very* Romantic sounding, the most beautiful I thinkI *don't* like these combos: Charles John - flows badly imo
Charles Angus - Charles seems like a stereotypical English man and Angus a Scottish one :)
Charles Rory - I don't like pairing the trendy Rory with the Classic Charles
Charles Rupert - too posh for meIsabel Honora - too hard for me to say
Isabel Fiona - ditto above
Isabel Maria - Isabella Maria or Isabel Mary would work but together they look strange to me
Isabel Molly - Molly is too cutesy and immature next to the beautiful Isabel

I would never have classed Rory as trendy, the only Rory I've seen in real life was a lad my age. Different perceptions :) I've also heard it mentioned a few times in my history lectures.Molly is my great aunt so it's probably why I never have the same cutsy impressions as other people.Ha! Isabel Primrose has been my top combo for the past year :D
~Louise xLister: Kryten 2X4B 523P? Is that your full name?
Kryten: Yes, but I don't like the 2X4B. Such a dorky middle name. Then again, I knew an android who's middle name was 2Q4B.

I only think of Rory as trendy because alot of people on the baby boards seem to be naming their daughters Aurora nn Rory lately :)I take it back about Molly, all family names are good namesAlice
My favourite names are Henry Atticus, Isaac ?, Freya Jasmine, Lyra Isabel and Iris EmilyProud big sister to Sophie and Isabel

Ah yes, I'd forgotten the Aurora nn Rory thing. One of the times when I can say 'thank god for real life' ;)

Are you a fan of Red Dwarf? My mother's in the fan club - she even made a Mr. Flibble puppet once! ;-)I would go through the combos one by one and write a little essay, but I usually get bored that way and stop halfway through, which wouldn't be very useful. ^ ^I like both Charles and Isabel (prefer "Charlie" and the spelling Isobel, though, but that's just me).For Charles, my favourite combos on your list are Charles Angus and Charles Lachlan. I also like:Charles Edward
Charles Tierney
Charles Emeric
Charles Rory
Charles Rhys
Charles FrankFor Isabel, I like Isabel Josephine the best, and also:Isabel Margaret
Isabel Flora
Isabel Victoria
Isabel Verena
Isabel Rosalia
Isabel Maria (of course ;-))
Isabel Celeste
Isabel Daisy
Isabel Florence
Isabel Poppy

I've been a Red Dwarf fan for as long as I can remember, I was brought up on it. I've started to watch it again on UKTV G2 and I'm planning to replace our worn out videos with DVDs (have you seen the extras! :D )I would actually use Sunshine as a first name but then my taste does border somewhat on the eccentric.
~Louise xLister: Kryten 2X4B 523P? Is that your full name?
Kryten: Yes, but I don't like the 2X4B. Such a dorky middle name. Then again, I knew an android who's middle name was 2Q4B.

I was brought up on Red Dwarf too! In fact, I'm the same age as it. ;-) Rimmer was the first man I had a thing for (when I was about 6 or 7!) and I used to get my mother to draw a H on my forehead. Recently, I've got my friend Laura addicted as well.
I haven't seen all the extras, but my mother has - she gets the DVDs pretty much the moment they come out. In fact, she's watching it right now on UKG2, but I imagine you are as well. ;-)
