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!
