I am obsessed with this name! It's become one of my favorite mn's, and I have several favored combos with Nyx in the mn position, including:

---

Persephone Nyx
Sapphira Nyx
Zephyra Nyx
Delilah
Layla Nyx
Nydia Nyx
Lorelei Nyx
Veronica Nyx

---

Really, to my ear, almost any multisyllabic name ending in A works as a fn for Nyx, including Arabella, Camellia, Cecelia, Claudia, Octavia, Paloma, Victoria, etcetera (though I am somewhat pickier than that - but not much! I love this name!).

---

My problem is, I can't come up with a truly satisfactory combo with Nyx in the fn position. It's tougher than it looks. I do have some ideas about it, of course:

---

Nyx Akane
Nyx Alaia
Nyx Alexis
Nyx Alyssa
Nyx Anaïs
Nyx Athena
Nyx Calista
Nyx Damaris (I'm prn this deh-MAIR-is)
Nyx Elektra
Nyx Elena
Nyx Larissa
Nyx Lizette
Nyx Naomi
Nyx Nayeli
Nyx Victoria

Many of y'all know how much I like assonance, alliteration, and, to some extent (often a greater extent than many of you), themeyness (or at least, heightened awareness of meanings within combos). For example, I kinda like Nyx-oriented mn's that start with vowels, and sorta dislike ones that start with S or soft C (given the S sound ending of Nyx), though a great one could persuade me. Given my eclectic tendencies, can y'all come up with any more suggestions? WDYT of what I've suggested so far? Which one is the best, iyo?
