Help[Opinions] Re: Top 10 for December
in reply to a message by miakendall1075
Alexandra Mae - Mae is a bit of a "filler" in the middle name slot, but if that isn't an issue for you, then it has a nice flow.
Anastasia Rose - Basically the same comment as above, except I like this one more.
Dorothea Gray - Gray, to me, is very masculine as a personal name, so this looks more like a first & surname than a first & middle. Also, my personal order of preference is Theodora, then Dorothy (I actually think Dorothy Gray sounds better of the two), then Dorothea; so unfortunately I can't say I'm a fan of this combo. Sorry.
Josephine Blythe - I usually don't make combos with I names and Y names (just a visual aesthetic preference), but this is well done.
Juliet Elise - This used to be in my own Top 10, so I love it!
Natalia Genevieve - Individually these are lovely names, but together they seem to be "mixing genres," so to speak. I suppose it's because Natalia feels very Slavic to me (despite being of Latin origin) while Genevieve is very French. But if that doesn't bother you, then go for it.
Lily Alice - Very cute. Quite minimalist compared to your other combos, but wearable as both a young girl and an adult.
Eliana June - This is cute and spunky. I also think Eliana Shea could work.
Virginia Shea - Virginia is lovely, and deserves more love than it gets. I don't like it with Shea, though; I think the soft G and then the SH sounds clash. Since you like short and sweet middle names, what about Virginia Maeve, or Virginia Faye?
Alina Therese - Wonderful. No complaints.
Daniel Joseph - This isn't bad on a surface level, by any means. However, I can't help but wonder just how many Daniel Josephs there are in this world. This combo, with a common (particularly English) last name could cause problems - among them, mistaken identity.
Theodore James - Very handsome. Along the lines of your Alexandra and Anastasia combos, but handsome nonetheless.
William Oliver - Two common names (especially with Oliver surging in popularity), yet I don't know how often they're paired together, so I don't think this will have the problem of Daniel Joseph. Even though I'm not normally a fan of Oliver, it goes well here.
Charles Quinn - Very abrupt and punchy. Charles Quinn. Bam-bam!
Ryan Patrick - Basically the same comment as for Daniel Joseph, except most of these people were born in the 80s and 90s (at least, in the U.S.).
Alexander Riley - I try to avoid combos where the first name ends with the same sound as the one that starts the middle name (in this case, the letter R), because when said together the names sort of "run into" each other.
Bennett Shane - Love Bennett. Unfortunately I've never quite warmed up to Shane. Together this sounds like the name of an Old West cowboy (which can be a good or bad thing, I guess, depending on your preferences).
Jack Emerson - Thank you for using Emerson as a masculine name. With the exception of Allison (itself not one of my favorites, but at least it has a feminine origin: "Alice's son"), I don't understand the trend of giving girls names that end in -son. Jack Emerson also sounds a bit like a cowboy!
Keegan Robert - Keegan might not be my style, but the combo flows well.
Andrew Henry - Basically the same comment as for Daniel Joseph, except this might be even more common.
