[Opinions] Not looking, but thanks!

At nearly 32 I've found that my taste has changed a lot. I used to love names like Ariana, Juliet, Guinevere, Chloe, Arwen, Lorien, Ella, Elora, etc...kind of light airy fairy names. But, as I aged and it came down to REALLY putting these names on a person (and working with a hubby's opinions), I've changed a lot.

Some of my favorite combos I just won't really use?

Ella Lorien
Chloe Guinevere
Aubrey Juliet

That's more MY style...but not sure they'd serve a girl well over her lifetime. I am drawn to stronger names these days.

Aubrey Juliet and Chloe Guinevere sound really nice! I'm wondering how you pronounce Lorien, since I have an aunt named Laurien and I'm wodnering if it's close to your Lorien. (she pronounces it low-REEN ow like in cow, not like in bow)

I pronounce it halfway between Lori-en and Lori-inn. It's from the forest in Lord of the Rings. Tori Amos used it as her daughter Natashya's middle name.
