Sometimes it takes me two hours to answer one post! *LOL* But honestly, I think of it as linguistic sudoku. I find it very relaxing. And when an OP really catches my imagination, as Nyx did (honest to goodness, my first thought was Stevie Nyx!), I very much enjoy creating combo lists like this.
And frequently end up adding one or two to my collection! After all, I did it for you, but I did it, so I don't feel guilty about sometimes keeping a combo I've made for someone else. Besides which, I'll never use any one I create-then-keep, because I've had all my kids. Plus, I'm one who happens to think that name combos don't belong to anyone anywhere, no matter who thnks they made them up first (certain people's rants about certain names get under my skin - like no one else could ever in a million years come up with it - whatever).
I have a whole name category (which I didn't post the other day) called "inspired by other people's favorite names." I have Hawkeye Scirocco on it because of Array, for example.
In this case I'm having a hard time deciding amongst Artemis Nyx, Pandora Nyx and Persephone Nyx, but leaning toward the first.
Anyway, I'm quite pleased you like the list! That's really what keeps me comin back. Cheers!

Well, it is much appreciated! Even if I don't plan on seriously using a name, I love bouncing it around, seeing what others think and of course, finding combos with it. Even if I don't take a name seriously at first, the right combo can change that.
