Re: Top 10 Favourite Combos Survey (edited)
Okay, but this only applies for today! Tomorrow, all bets are off. :) The first couple of each are my favorites, but the others are in no particular order.Girls:
Summer Siena
Mercy Evangeline or Mercy Nightingale (can't decide which combo I love more)
Lily Elena
Lorelei Leilani
Vanessa Whitney
Veronica Bronte
Tatiana Claire
Socorro Rose (I know, I know, but say it out loud! most likely nn is Coco)
Serena Lyriane
Guilty pleasure: Summer Butterfly (I'm a child of hippies)Boys:
Sawyer Benedict
Jedidiah Hawking (must point out, nn's Jedi and Hawk!)
Luke Whittaker
Ethan Gabriel
Sebastian Elijah
Malcolm Reynold
Robert Dylan
Connor Riordan
Clancy Matthias
Westley Wade
Guilty pleasures: Caius Tiberius (nn Ti) and D'Artagnan Dashing (nn Dart)
ETA: My all-time favorite combos, 2 male and 2 female, are not on this list - since I already used them on my kids! For those who may not know: David Alexander (nn Alex), Lillian Scarlett Mahalia, Sophia Ophelia Seraphina, and Gideon Brody. Thought this was important to get a good feel for my style. :D
1. What do you like about my naming style and what do you dislike?2. Is there anything you absolutely love about my naming style? Absolutely loathe?3. If you could steal two combos, one from the girls and one boys, which combos would you steal?4. If you could change something about my naming style, what changes would you make?5. What names from my lists are you tired of seeing for whatever reason?6. How would you classify my naming tendencies? (For example: classic, trendy, retro-chic, old, kre8iv, etc...)7. What name advice would you give me?8. Any other comments?

1. What do you like about my naming style and what do you dislike? -
I definitely agree with Mashka on this, and I totally agree with her statement. :) 2. Is there anything you absolutely love about my naming style? Absolutely loathe? - I love the femininity and handsomeness of the girls' and boys' names, respectively, if that makes sense. :b Some are a little too frilly for me, but I don't loathe anything about any of them. 3. If you could steal two combos, one from the girls and one boys, which combos would you steal? - Mercy Evangeline and Sebastian Elijah. I also love all your kids' names, esp. Gideon Brody. 4. If you could change something about my naming style, what changes would you make? - Nothing. Keep being you. 5. What names from my lists are you tired of seeing for whatever reason? - Summer, Rose (as mn), Ethan, Connor6. How would you classify my naming tendencies? (For example: classic, trendy, retro-chic, old, kre8iv, etc...) - Modern and fanciful (but NOT kre8tiv or made-up) w/ some classics thrown in7. What name advice would you give me? - nada 8. Any other comments? - nope :b

I haven't 'seen' you in a while! *hugs* I hope all's well. :)1. What do you like about my naming style and what do you dislike?I like that your naming style seems so expressive of your personality. Though some of the names might not be my style, I like them because I tihnk they're reflective and true to your personality.2. Is there anything you absolutely love about my naming style? Absolutely loathe?I love the little off-beat, eccentric, hippie names that you use like Summer, Nightingale and Mercy.3. If you could steal two combos, one from the girls and one boys, which combos would you steal?Certainly Mercy Evangeline and Ethan Gabriel.4. If you could change something about my naming style, what changes would you make?Nothing.5. What names from my lists are you tired of seeing for whatever reason?Connor and Ethan, only because I know so many of them. I also know more than my fair share of Sienas, so I'm a wee bit tired of that name, too.6. How would you classify my naming tendencies? (For example: classic, trendy, retro-chic, old, kre8iv, etc...)Hippy-chic and off-beat mixed with some traditional favourites.7. What name advice would you give me?Absolutely none!8. Any other comments?I'm excited about the name Nightingale. I've never seen it on a naming board or heard it used as a name. I'm really into the name Meadow (a guilty pleasure of mine) and Meadow Nightingale is sounding so cool to my ears.

Meadow Nightingale is *gorgeous*!Hi, Mashka, thanks for all your kind comments! I've been around a bit, but haven't posted much, mainly for two reasons: first, it seems like lately the same few very young posters are sorta dominating all the boards; and second, I've had houseguests for the past week. My best friend Candis, her husband Craig, their 2yo twin boys Corbin and Carter, and their 1yo daughter Cassidy (yeah, they just had to do the same-initial thing, *yawn*). So with three kids under 2 mixed with my 3yo and 5yo, things have been chaotic! But thanks for missing me! That makes me feel really good! :D

1. What do you like about my naming style and what do you dislike?
I love that several of your names particularly your girls names are not in the top 100. Also, I LOVE that you like Mercy. The only thing I dislike is the names Clancy and Jedidiah (however, I do like the Hawk nickname)
2. Is there anything you absolutely love about my naming style? Absolutely loathe? I guess I should have put the Mercy comment down here. :) I also love the name Serena. The only name I can say I absolutley loathe is Clancy. It may be a little too old fashioned for my tastes.3. If you could steal two combos, one from the girls and one boys, which combos would you steal? Well, actually there's two girls combos I quite like, Mercy Evangeline and Lily Elena. The other one is probably Ethan Gabriel but I wish it was Gabriel Ethan though.4. If you could change something about my naming style, what changes would you make? I'd probably throw in a few more classics but for the most part I quite like your style.5. What names from my lists are you tired of seeing for whatever reason? Probably Ethan, Connor, and Lily but I still like all 3.6. How would you classify my naming tendencies? (For example: classic, trendy, retro-chic, old, kre8iv, etc...) Charms and Graces which are names that reflect grace, beauty, adn propriety. Also, Timeless and Biblical (b/c of a few boys names).7. What name advice would you give me? Maybe, get rid of Clancy :) No, I don't think you need to change anything.

Thanksfor your kind comments, they are appreciated. About Clancy, I guess it might help to say that I have a certain Clancy very close to my heart, which is the only reason it makes my list. I know on its own it may not be the most charming name! But thanks again for your comments. :)~Lillian~
