For me, there were a few changes from last month's Top 10. Here are my combos as they stand:

---

Nicholas Rowan
Wesley Owen Rhys
Finn Gabriel
Donovan Leo
Adam Raphael
Malcolm Elliott
Dominic Edwin
Dorian Cedric
Elio Nathaniel
Tristan Xavier
&
Esme Artemisia
Sabrina Lily
Miranda Violet
Jane Elodie
Zoe Andromeda
Felicity Charlotte
Rosalie Clara
Raven Gabrielle
Viola Margot
Juliet Aurelia

---

Some of these are returning old favorites. Xanthe, Alexandra and Margot (now both middles), Esther, and Jonathan were replaced by Jane, Rosalie, Raven (brand new favorite), Viola, and the very Italian Elio. Clara's stressed syllable is pronounced slightly different from Claire's when I say it, so with Rosalie Clara I think I'm avoiding the "eclair" thing; but does anybody else hear eclair?

I remember the days where month-to-month my list would be completely different, but my tastes are becoming more static with the passage of time. While I didn't participate in the official December 2011 thread, I found my independent top combos post from that time:

---

Alistair William
Cameron Michael
Gavin Charles
James Graham
Jeffrey David
Logan Gareth
Luke Edmund
Richard Allan
Ross Carlisle
Wesley Merrick
&
Anouk Isobel
Constance Elisabeth
Elowen Peronel
Evangeline Victoria
Liliana Florence
Lumina Calista "Lumi"
Marian Estelle
Sabrina Vivian
Sethe Theresa
Sylvana Tesni

---

Oh wow, this is a wild list! Back when I preferred the Y spelling of Silvana. This was also when I had a genuine fascination with the name Sethe (SETH-uh) because of Toni Morrison's Beloved - as well as Anouk from the book (more movie, in my case) Chocolat. I still like Alistair (William), Cameron (Michael), Gavin, Jeffrey (David - dated, but I like it), Luke (Edmund - this one came back several months ago), Richard, Constance, and Evangeline; and Wesley & Sabrina haven't left my top names. They're both the ones who've been there the longest.

---

The only combos on that list that I actively dislike are Lumina Calista (way too much) and Logan Gareth (so guttural).
