I'm really uninspired at the moment and trying to rehaul my taste in names / PNL and all that, so these combos are all from name games - combos which I've actually kind of liked/found interesting. Also, I think this is my first Top Ten ever. Woo.Ailsa Violet

Ronan Arthur - The names go well together.River Noah - I think of River as a feminine name, but this isn't bad.Oliver Jude - Don't like Oliver, but Jude is okay.Gabriel Elijah - Neither name is my style.August Rafferty - (see above)Arthur Sebastian - I don't really like Arthur as a first name. Sebastian is nice, but it takes a lot of charisma to be its bearer, I think.Rafferty Sean - I like Sean well enough, but Rafferty just sounds like a last name to me.Leo James - Nice and understated.Felix Ezra - Cool name.
Dahlia Beatrix - Very pretty and late-Victorian.Freya Juniper - Cute.Penelope Elise - Gorgeous combo.Daphne Aurelia - Another gorgeous combo, and I'm not even a fan of Daphne.Lucy Marigold - Like Marigold, not so big on Lucy.Arya Violet - I think Aria Violet would look better.Madeleine Juliette - Very French. I like it.Sylvie Coraline - I like this French combo even more.Caroline Daisy - Neither name is my style.Dorothy Emma - Dislike Dorothy, and for me Emma doesn't look good written next to it.
vote up1
Lydia Constance - Absolutely gorgeous. I don't want to speak too soon, but this might be perfect.Cordelia Fleur - Another near-perfect combo. I think Fleur is the best middle name suggestion I've heard yet for Cordelia.Aubrey Eulalia - Eulalia is okay, but sorry, I don't like Aubrey.Liadan Malley - Is Malley honoring someone's surname? I'm not keen on Malley, but Liadan is cute.Dorothy Wynne - I like Wynne, but I have disliked Dorothy for a long time. I don't know what it is, but the sound grates on my ears. I vastly prefer Theodora - or rather, Isadora / Isidora.Georgia Colleen - I dislike both names, so I can't really offer you anything here.Evangeline Aurora - Aurora is one of those names for me that looks great on paper, but is often hard to say. I'm glad you put it in the middle name slot. Evangeline is lovely. May I suggest Evangeline Aurelia?Kiera Patricia - I prefer Keira to Kiera, and I prefer Kira still. I'm also not sure that this name "looks right" written / spelled out.Scarlett Marielle - Scarlett is elegant, but also very strong. Marielle sounds weak and nickname-y next to it, imo.

I really like Phaedra. It has a lovely sound. Mira also appeals to me, but as a nickname for Miranda. I also like: Theodora, Iris, and Octavia.Theron, Declan, and Alaric are all fantastic. Gavin and Silas are okay. Theron is my favorite - so melodic and handsome.

You like the S sound in girls' names it seems! :) I like Anastasia nn Annie or Anya, Arya, and Juliet.In the boys, I like most of them in an academic sort of way. The sounds are all good, but none of them really jump out to me. The only ones I don't like are Ian and Miles.

Freya Beverley - At first I thought this was mixing genres a bit, but it looks beautiful on paper, especially this spelling of Beverley.Eve Mulberry - I like Eve, but I'm not so keen on Mulberry as a name.Gwen Elsabeth - Gwen is one of the few "diminutives" that I can see as a full name, though I would prefer it if it were short for Gwendolen or Gwendoline or something similar. I like this spelling of Elisabeth.Rose Elowen - Elegant and surprising.Annabeth Chiara - I'm not big on combination names, so I don't really like Annabeth; and something so English paired with something so Italian I could only see working if the bearer herself were at least half Italian.Sylvie Ursula - Beautiful. Although I would probably go with Ursula Sylvie, since Ursula is one of my all-time favorites.Greta Leigh - Too informal-sounding.Lucille Annika - These names don't look right together. One is very French (or dated English), and the other a Nordic diminutive.Michelangela Jane - Cute! I love Michelangela, but it takes guts to use it and charsma to pull it off.Viveka Posy - Another "mixing genres" name (for me).(Allegra Fernwren) - If I could get passed the allergy medicine association with Allegra, I would use it. Fernwren is a mouthful to say, though.
