[Opinions] Mine
Nicholas Owen
Donovan Leo
Wesley Beowulf
Finn Gabriel
Malcolm Elliott
Jonathan Bennett
Dominic Edwin
Richard Isaac
Devon Alexander
Lennox RaphaelNot a whole lot of moving around. The two new faces, Richard and Devon, are both old favorites that replaced Cameron and Isaac (now a middle).Sabrina Vivian
Felicity Charlotte
Juliana Claire
Lavinia Florence
Miranda Lily
Willow Boadicea (bo-di-SEE-ə)
Francesca Rosalie
Autumn Theresa
Naomi Genevieve
Candace EleanorA couple newcomers. Autumn and Candace are entirely new to my Top 10, and Willow has gone from a middle to a first. (I'm unsure if I prefer Boadicea or Boudicca with Willow.) These new names replaced Josephine, Katarina, and Eleanor (now a middle).Now (drum roll please)...MY TEN-YEAR COMPARISON!This month is the first time I can compare to my posted tastes 10 years ago! I can't believe I've been posting to this site this long, wow. Anyway, here are my picks from August of 2010 (apparently, I only did 8 combos per gender instead of 10):Richard Francis
Owen William
Hugh Carbrey
Riordan Craig
Cameron Michael
Theodore Harris
Heath Elliott
Callum Vaughn
&
Elyzabeth Yvette
Willow Sage
Evanna Lily
Audrey Annabelle
Karen Paige
Adelaide Noelle
Marian Rose
Iris EmilyOkay, most of my masculine names are still hanging around. Riordan is the only one that really jumped out at me - well, that and Carbrey. Where did I get that one from?And my feminine list... wow. Yeah. There was a brief period where I thought Elyzabeth was the superior spelling (I guess it was more "medieval"). And Karen Paige... I put that on the list?***Please rate my personal name lists:www.behindthename.com/pnl/69381

Nicholas Owen – I love Nicholas. It is among my top favorites. Owen is okay. It is a solid Welsh name.
Donovan Leo – A strong combination. Donavan reminds me of the John Wayne movie “Donavan’s Reef,” but I doubt that many people have that association.
Wesley Beowulf – It is nice to see Beowulf. Wesley is a bit wimpy in comparison.
Finn GabrielFinn has some of the free-spiritedness of Huck Finn. Gabriel is more classical and angelic. They make for a fun combo.
Malcolm ElliottMalcolm is nice. Elliot is okay.
Jonathan BennettJonathan is handsome and distinguished. Bennett reminds me of “Pride and Prejudice.”
Dominic Edwin – handsome
Richard IsaacRichard is knightly and heroic. I wish it had a nickname that I like.
Devon Alexander – Do you pronounce Devon like Devin or De-von?
Lennox RaphaelRaphael is beautiful. Lennox is very surnamey, but I like that it ends with x. Sabrina VivianLove this!

Yay Beowulf and Boadicea!One of my cats is named Boudicca. :)I love Lavinia Florence and am charmed by Iris Emily.

I love that you have Wesley on here, I feel like a lot of people aren't fond of that name. It's my dad's name so I'm used to hearing it a lot and, obviously, think fondly of it. My sister named her son Dean Wesley and he gets called by his fn+mn all the time so I hear it even more now. I quite like Sabrina Vivian as well. So sophisticated!

Beautiful combos! Some of these names I wouldn’t even normally like but I love Devon Alexander and Naomi Genevieve. Felicity is an old favourite of mine and Juliana and Autumn are nice. Lavinia Florence is gorgeous! I also individually like Nicholas, Finn, Edwin and Raphael.
