In terms of single names, I like Arthur, Lysander, George, Hugo, Benjamin, Beatrix, Sylvia, Margot, Lucille, Sybil, Ivy, Hermione. My favorite combos are Phoenix Arthur Blaise, Ptolemy Lysander George, August Lysander Wolf, Beatrix Lavender Margot, Lavender Athena Lucille, & Sybil Henrietta Ivy. :)

Oh, I love these combos! I flippin' adore Horatio Phoenix Arthur, August Lysander Wolf, Lorenzo Felix Amadeus, and Lysander Alaric Wolf - they all seem to have at least one of my guilty pleasures in there (particularly Horatio, Wolf, and Amadeus!) As for the girls, I think Beatrix Lavender Margot is gorgeous, and Lavender Athena Lucille too. I like all the classical connections in Clio Alexandria Sybil, and Ziva Hermione Sahar is super cool. (And Morgana Hermione Tempest sounds like a girl I would not want to mess with!)

Some of these I've commented on before, but others are new:

---

Caspian Sherlock Walter - Caspian & Sherlock are mega-literary together, and then Walter comes around the corner and punches you in the face. Walter Sherlock has a better flow, I think (if you still want to use Walter); Caspian doesn't sound like he belongs with either, imo.

---

Phoenix Arthur Blaise - "Phoenix" and "Blaise" (Blaze) sound corny in the same combo, honestly. Arthur and Blaise go together, but not Phoenix.

---

Ptolemy Lysander George - I know George's roots are Greek, like the other two, but it's so incredibly punchy here (and English) that it's almost jarring. "Ptolemy Lysander" is also already pretty loaded, but if you still want three-name combos, what about "Ptolemy Ellis Lysander," or "Ptolemy Blaise Lysander"?

---

Horatio Phoenix Arthur - Horatio at the beginning is not necessarily an improvement on Blaise at the end. It's that first syllable. I can't shake it.

---

Nikolai Emrys Altair - Now this is really interesting. Russian, Welsh, and Arabic all coming together in one combo that, oddly enough, flows well.

---

Artemus Dorian Hugo - Dorian Hugo is great. Artemus Hugo, while not my style, isn't bad either. But reading and saying Artemus Dorian... when said together the syllable pattern is repetitious. What about Artemus Hugo Dorian?

---

Indigo Benjamin Taavi - Indigo Benjamin runs into the same problem as Artemus Dorian for me: two names with repetitious syllable patterns. Like with the above, what about Indigo Taavi Benjamin?

---

August Lysander Wolf - Hipster cool, no complaints.

---

Lorenzo Felix Amadeus - An Italian travels back in time to meet his sixteenth-century ancestor - all in one name combo! Teasing aside, this has a certain whimsical charm.

---

Lysander Alaric Wolf - Lysander and Alaric feel like two different genres: the Greco-Shakespearean and the Medieval Norman Raider. They both go with Wolf, but not each other, imo; maybe "Lysander Wolf Alaric" would be better? I prefer "August Lysander Wolf" either way.
