vote up1
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, reliableMilo 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.

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.

Gwendolyn Vera - Honestly, this feels like two things: 1. A mixing of genres; and 2. Like you're trying to use Guinevere without actually using Guinevere.Alice Paulina - I never would've thought of this pairing, mostly because I never think about Paulina. It's not bad, though.Matilda Suzanne - I've never liked Suzanne, sorry. Even though I'm not really crazy about the "name family" as a whole, I find both Susan and Susanna/h preferable. Matilda is nice, though. Actually, I think Matilda Suzette has a better flow, to be honest, if you still want a "Suze" name.Lydia Andraste - This one is delightful! Are you pronouncing the middle name ahn-DRAH-stay? That's how it's pronounced in Dragon Age, and therefore how I'm reading / saying it.Katarina Eydís - Eydís is gorgeous, but honestly good luck getting anyone outside of namenerds and Iceland to pronounce it correctly. Then again, you do have it in the middle slot, so it's not a huge deal. Katarina is also lovely... but I wouldn't pair these together. It's even more "loaded" than Lydia Andraste. What about Katherine Eydís, or Katarina Haidee?Tamsin Victoria - Wonderful. (Not a fan of Honor though, sorry). I kind of feel like this is a name that would pop up on one of those "Times Birth Announcements" that have been posted here before. (Posh, is what I'm saying - but not overly so.)Evangeline Isabel - Brilliant.Anastasia Linnéa - I enjoy both these names individually, but together it's a lot of name. Loaded. Anastasia needs something short and simple in the middle slot, even filler. I think I've used Rose in the past. You can also actually get away with Marie.Eleanor Christine - I'm not really big on names incorporating "Christ," but Christine is probably the one I dislike the least. That said, I don't think Eleanor and Christine pair well visually. Elinor Christine looks a little better, imo, but the flow also bothers me a bit. In all honesty, I think Christine pairs better with Matilda than Eleanor!

I love Antigone! Unfortunately I could never use this in real life, because there is someone where I work named Antigone, and anytime someone has asked to speak to her they always, ALWAYS, struggle over her name (usually calling her "Anti Gone" or "an-ti-GAHN"). It makes a namenerd and Greek Mythology nerd like me sad. :-(I also once knew a Flavia, in Uganda. Hearing the name in real life surprised me. (There were actually a lot of interesting names in Uganda. Sylvia, Jacquelyn, Jovianne "Jovia"... also a man named Precious, and a Raphael "Rafi.")

Antigone - I have a lot of respect for Sophocles’ "Antigone." It is also a character in "The Dragon's Tooth" (Ashtown Burials #1).
Cornelia - nice
Flavia - LoveAmbrose - I like the meaning but prefer Emrys.
Auberon - A fun mythological name and Shakespeare approved.
Bertram - Nice. I hope it makes a comeback.
Silvio - handsome in a subtle sort of way.

I adore Antigone, Cornelia, Ambrose, Anselm, Auberon, Bartholomew, Cyprian and Vivian! It's nice to see the last one used as a masculine name. I also have a soft spot for Gertrude.

I like:Ambra - I don't know if it would be the same in Australia, but I'm certain that an Ambra in the U.S. would constantly be called Amber. I like both names, but that would probably be annoying. :-(
Galilea
Viorica (also Viorea)
&
Asa
Bowen
JudicaelI also like Carrow, but it seems feminine to me. Probably because of the Caro nickname for Caroline.

Scheherazade "Zadie" (!!!)
XeniaI also really like Seraphine and Sapphira, which are similar to your Seraphina and Sappho - though I understand, of course, are not the same. I'm just illustrating that we have very similar tastes in feminine names (especially Scheherazade "Zadie"!).

I love Sapphira too!

Alexander - Handsome, strong, classic. I prefer Alex as a nickname.
Frederick - Dependable and courtly. I really like it but am not a fan of any of the nicknnames.
James - This is one of those popular names that is hard not to love. (I have a soft spot for James Potter)
John Paul - Nice. It reminds me of John Paul Jones, who was the USA's first naval commander in the American Revolutionary War.
Ronan - cool
Theseus "Theo" - A less used alternative to Theodore with more mythological associations. Esmé - pretty
Evangeline - elegant, powerful
Rosalie - gentle, old fahsion charm
Saoirse - Love the meaning
Sappho - Intriguing. I wouldn't use it myself by I like it.
Scheherazade - This is fun to say, but it looks like a sneeze.
Seraphina - Love
Xenia - nice

Wolfgang (really like)I don't feel Theo 'works' as a nickname for Theseus, it feels too much of a stretch for me... but that's 100% just me.Esme (prefer Esmee for some reason)

EllaThis is, I think, the first time I've ever seen Hazel given as a boy name, and Greyson as a girl name - though I think spelling variants of Greyson have been listen on here as feminine BAs (like Gracen or Graicyn).
