I like Willow
vote up1
I could never come up with so many combos! I definitely struggle with combos.I'm so happy to see Alden! It's one of my favorite names and it goes well with Westley. My favorite of your boy combos is Gavin Charles. I like the feel and the flow of it.

Other names I like from the boys: Ambrose, Navarre (I think Henry Navarre would be a fun combo haha), Owen, William, and Joseph.On the ladies side, I think my favorite is Cecily Willow, though I also like Marian Rosabel, but Rosabel is a little too frilly for me I think.I also like: Violet and Ever.
vote up1
Henry NavarreHmmmm... has a nice ring to it. :-)

I like a lot of your names! Hermione, Briony, Jane, James, Lucas and Ignatius are all great but I especially love Annie, Rose, Natalie, Renata, Damien, Gabriel, Orion, and Alden
vote up1
My sister's name is Annie, so it isn't likely I will get to use that one, but I do love it. It's such a good balanced name. It was adorable on her when she was little, and it fits her beautifully now that she's a young woman.Natalie or Renata would be used to honor myself and my mother. I love my name and it has been a pleasure wearing it.Damien and Gabriel are probably the two names most likely to get used on my future sons. I used to only like old-fashioned names for boys, but these feel a little more modern and I'm liking it.

Sabrina
Clarice

Ronan
Alastair + Robert (though I'm not sure if I like them in the same combo - the last 'r' of Alistair and the first 'r' of Robert sort of run together)

JuliaI feel like you have a "Victorian American" aesthetic in terms of names. Most of your female choices feel very Victorian, often classics with a little Greek flair, and most of your male choices feel Victorian as well, while being distinctly Hebrew in origin--this makes me think of American gentleman in the Victorian Era, especially in the West.
vote up1
Astrid and Ophelia have really been growing on me lately. They're very beautiful names, and ones I would not hesitate to use in a story, but it's real life I'm tentative about!I love August and all its forms, and Solomon is a very strong manly name.

vote up1
I can never ever think of a solid ten so these are just my tops. I feel like I've gone back to basics quite a bit lately. Everything is pretty much honouring/meaningful:Fern Marianne
Marigold Ellen
Pearl Jamesina
Gloria Jeanne
Beatrix SylviaHorace William "Ace"
Wallace Kent "Wally"
Phineas Ferdinand
Errol James Arthur
Oscar Jules Pierre I am in love with the idea of Errol and Oscar as brothers. Most of my girl names don't go together - too themey. But, there it is.
vote up1
I am really loving Beatrix Sylvia and Errol James Arthur. I think Beatrix, Errol, and Oscar would make a lovely sibset!I also love Gloria, but Gloria Jeanne makes me think of that coffee shop. I quite Gloria Jane though. Horace William is also a really strong combo, though Horace is nms.

I have the complete opposite problem! Too many boys' combo and not enough for the girls!I like:
Anna
Beatrix - prefer Beatrice
Catherine
Cecily tentatively...not the greatest associations with it!
Margaret
RoseAnna Beatrix or Anna Rosalie - both are very nice but I think Anna Beatrix would age slightly better
Beatrix Helene
Catherine Adele - very pretty
Margaret Helene - beautiful!
Rose Mathilde - I think I like Rose Mathilda better, but still a nice combo
Rosemary Blythe - Ooo, very turn of the century romantic!Arthur Frederick - Stalwart. Very nice
