I really love both of those names - Arthurs many namesakes I like (not king Arthur, though :D) and Lenore's amazing E. A. Poe-aura, specially thinking about the mystic "Raven".
My favourites out of your combos are Arthur Cicero, Arthur Humphrey (I normally try to avoid two 2-syllabled names in one combo, but the phonetics of Humphrey work amazingly with Arthur) and Arthur Sebastian. you were completely right with putting many "s"-names together with Arthur. He really needs something lively and active, and that's what "s" mostly gives you.

---

And oh I am so glad someone has noticed Dudley! This name makes me think of Dudley Moore, especially his wonderful Beethoven-parody.

---

My favourite Lenore-combos are Lenore Amabel (so beautiful), Lenore Beatrix, Lenore Cecily (The colours are just brilliant), Lenore Imogen, Lenore Melisande, Lenore Philippa (a very noble-sounding combo). I think I once suggested someone Lenore Winifred, so of course I like it, lol.

Arthur Clive or Arthur Frederick (the 2nd is actually one of my top combos, too!)

---

Lenore Poppy (this really sticks out to me, and I like it. Poppy balances out the older feel of Lenore)

---

Both are great names & work beautifully together! Is this for a sibset?

Arthur Frederick and Arthur Leopold are two of my favorite Arthur combos. (Arthur Beowulf rounds out my top three.)

Arthur!!

---

Arthur is lovely (especially with the nickname Bear ;) but I think Clyde, Clive, Cecil, Constantine and the like affected and almost pretentious. Funnily enough Benedict is the only one I support with it fully. It's a cool name. The form, Bennet would make me happier.

---

Lenore Imogen, Cecily or Beatrix. Ottoline is terrible and just a nickname despite sounding so lumpy and heavy.

Arthur Constantine
Arthur Dudley- I usually hate Dudley,but it doesn't sound so bad with Arthur
Arthur Felix
Arthur Sidney
Arthur Valentine- love this!

Arthur Felix and Lenore Eugenia jump out at me. They would make a great sibset!

Uh, all of them?

---

You've stolen my brain and used it to come up with these combinations, haven't you? Confess.

---

As combinations, I'm most impressed with the following:

---

Arthur Clement, Arthur Graham (2 syllables), and Arthur Humphrey -- Lenore Beatrix, Lenore Imogen and Lenore Philippa.

---

Yes, I certainly did a spectacular job coming up with these. You can't see it, but I'm giving myself a hug as I type this. :-)
