[Opinions] My Girls Short List from High School - plus Misc. Others found
I was contemplating not doing a post on this one since my taste isn't different enough from my present day taste in comparison to the boys, but after going through some of my old binders and agendas I did find a few more notable combos so it felt worth the share. Top Choices from like age 14 to 17ish: Lavinia Allison
Evangeline Violet
Victoria Grace
Cynthia Judith
Amoria Rue *Rue was definitely in homage to the hopping Hunger Games franchise. Amoria I can't remember where I got from but I did see it somewhere and I was enamored. Victoria is no longer even on the long list because of a traumatic experience with a Victoria in my early 20s. Cynthia Judith I still vibe with but it's just not necessarily my thing anymore. Lavinia Allison I no longer like due to the ending and beginning A sounds. Obviously, Evangeline Violet stayed the same, but she changed from favorite idea for girl #2 to girl #1 after a few years. Other combos retrieved from the catacombs from approximately ages 14 to 20: Patricia Lanay "Pattie" (Honoring my Nana and a fav Teacher)
Analisa Marie "Lisa"
Chrysanthemum Grace "Chris-Ann"
Ariel Faith
Paulina Faith
Elisabeth Cate
Jewel Renee
Gracelynn Marie Kate

Lavinia Allison - Allison doesn't work at all with Lavinia, but Alice would. I'd also want to make it Alice Lavinia.
Evangeline Violet - Violet Evangeline would be better; Evangeline is long for a first name and for some reason when it's Evangeline Violet it feels like too many V's, but Violet Evangeline sounds fine.
Victoria Grace - Good, but probably very popular.
Cynthia Judith - Cynthia is such a boomer name! So is Judith but I like Judith anyway. Way too many hissy sounds in this combo though.
Amoria Rue - It's nice, I like Rue as a middle name. Amoria Rue sounds very "fictional character". I'd almost prefer Amaria Rue even though I like the "mor" sound. Patricia Lanay "Pattie" - Not my thing, and I'd prefer Patty or Patti over Pattie.
Analisa Marie "Lisa" - This is good although middle name Marie is so overdone even non-namenerds joke about it. I'd also prefer Annalisa.
Chrysanthemum Grace "Chris-Ann" - Chrysanthemum is such a GP, this would be the way to do it though (put it with a one-syllable, common, manageable middle name). I think the nickname is too contrived. Chrysan makes more sense as a spelling, or even Chrysanne. But in reality someone called Chrysanthemum is likely to become Chrys, Chris, Chrysi, Chrissy, or maybe Anthy / Anthie.
Ariel Faith - These names don't go together for me but they don't really clash either. This combo seems like it would be fairly popular.
Paulina Faith - This works a lot better! I like this one, I wouldn't use either name but it's a good combo.
Elisabeth Cate - It's good and I like the look, these spellings give the combo a very soft and vintage look, but it would be annoying to have this name. "Elisabeth Cate". "Elizabeth Kate?" "No, Elisabeth with an S and Cate with a C." I know people don't usually use their middle names that way, but I can still imagine situations where you'd have to explain that neither your first name OR your middle name is spelled the way people expect.
Jewel Renee - Sounds better than it looks. I do like Jewel.

, thank you, this reply was no small feet. It was interesting reading through all of it.
Alison Lavinia would solve the double-A problem.Names that I like: Victoria, Judith, Ruth but not Rue, Patricia, Jane, Chloe, Heather, Hilary and Michele with one L each, Cedric, Hugo, Stella, Thelma, Joanna without the H, Barbara
Lavinia
Allison: Allison I like, but I don't like Lavinia, it sounds like a disease.
Evangeline
Violet: Very fancy and flowery. I'm never sure how Evangeline is pronounced because I've seen/heard it three different ways.
Victoria
Grace: Kind of pumpkin-spice latte of a name. Yawn.
Cynthia
Judith: Very lispy and spitty with all those s and th sounds. And the combo feels very 1940s.
Amoria
Rue: I see nothing nice about the name Rue, even though I like Rue McLanahan. Not sure about Amoria, it's kind of pretty, I guess.
