[Opinions] BA + Jacob + New combos
1) BA: My distantly related cousin, Mikey, and his girlfriend Jenni just had their first child the other day, Isla Angelica. Personally, I love Isla by itself and I don't like Angelica at all2) Jacob: yay or nay? I love it, despite it's popularity. I'm also a fan of variants Jakob and Jakub (but still prn. Jacob). Would you use it as a FN or MN? Any combo ideas? I like Jacob Everett Elijah, Jakob Isaac Walter, and Jakub Elliot Taylor3) I'm trying to come up with some new favorite combos. My top two for boys are Shia Nathaniel and Astor Raymond, my top two for girls are Verity Lyra and Persephone Violet. Any ideas? Two-name or three-name ones are perfect. Freya Genevieve, Gisele Winona, Ivy Lucinda, Jakob Astor, Shane Apollo, and William Brendan have been growing on me

1) I like Isla Angelica. Congrats to them! :)1) I love Jacob. Jakob is okay too because it's the traditional German spelling and used to be very common as a middle name in my family (usually after Johann), but I highly dislike Jakub (that spelling doesn't really sit well in English-speaking countries). Anyway, I think it's okay as a first or middle name. Jacob/Jakob Isaac Walter is a nice combo.3) I like all of the combos you have presented, but I wouldn't use Jakob Astor unless you're okay with people asking if he's named after John Jacob Astor IV, who died on the Titanic. Anyway, I love Persephone Violet!
