Re: Top 10 for February
in reply to a message by erb816
Elizabeth Iris – Very classical and timeless. Iris isn’t my favorite flower name, but I understand the appeal.
Jane Eleanor – I love Eleanor. Eleanor Jane flows a bit better IMO.
Josephine Eloise – Given the length of Josephine, a two-syllable middle name might work better than three-syllables. What do you think of Josephine Louise?
Katherine Elektra – Great pairing. The tradition of Katherine with the spice of Elektra is complimentary for both.
Louise Violet – nice. It has the same feel as your first set.
Miranda Nadine – Miranda is a pleasant Shakespearean throwback. Nadine has a modern yet uncommon feel like an entertainment manager (I can’t quite describe it). As a middle name for Miranda, something more nymph like or earthy might be better.
Sabrina Lillian –lovely
Sapphira Daphne – It flows well, but I have mixed feelings about the double “ph.”
Thaïs Antonia –Unexpected yet excellent pairing.
Ursula Scarlett – Jarring. Ursula has a hag witch association for me like Brunhilda and Agatha. Scarlett is sultry and full of vitality like Scarlett O’Hara. Somehow when they are mixed it creates a bloodbath feel, but it could just be me.
Cameron Michael – Cameron is modern with a Scottish nod, and Michael is ageless. They work well.
Donovan Leo – handsome pairing
Finn Elliott - Hmmm…. I like the sound of it, but it almost needs a second middle name or for Elliott to be the last name. When a last name is added to the end like Finn Elliot Schwarzenegger or Finn Elliot Jones, it falls flat or feels like three last names.
Jonathan Bennett – okay. In “Pride & Predjudice,” I can imagine Elizabeth naming one of her sons Jonathan Bennett Darcy.
Malcolm Caleb – Solid, reliable
Milo Dominic – As you pointed out, this duo made my honorable mentions list! I didn’t really consider combining them, but you are right, they work well together.
Richard Isaac – classic, distinguished, like a celebrated author.
Seth Andreas – Dislike. Seth is an old man living in an isolated area who is still convinced that young women find him as attractive as they did 40 years ago. Andreas is a Greek guy who still uses hair oil.
Silas Antonio – An odd match up at first. Both names are nice. I wouldn’t typically put them together, but I suppose they both have an early Christian feel.
Wesley Owen Rhys – Nice flow, and it sounds agreeable like someone that everyone would consider a nice fellow.
Jane Eleanor – I love Eleanor. Eleanor Jane flows a bit better IMO.

HAHAHAHA! Okay, I know I'm seeing this late so I don't know how many people will read it, but that is a difficult image to shake, lol! I still like Seth, but I think you've officially turned me off of Andreas (though I wasn't 100% sold on the combo anyway).
Regarding Josephine, I was having difficulty deciding between Eloise and Elise. You're right about the double three-syllable names, I think Elise would be better after all. (I also had Josephine Pearl on the back-burner.)
Ursula is so difficult to pair, so I wasn't 100% sold on Scarlett, either. It is a very "red" combo, though.
