keep-
Alyssa Evangeline Odette*
Alyssa Hermione Faith
Alyssa Genevieve PearlI think they all sound nice, but I'd never personally use Faith...
Evangeline Odette seems like more of a jewel tone while Genevieve Pearl is more of a pastel, and I'd prefer a jewel tone.eliminate-
Alyssa Gabrielle Odette ..I don't like how they sound together.
Alyssa Evangeline Faith ...Evangeline Faith is too heavy on the religious theme for me.
Alyssa Charlotte Pearl ...Charlotte and Pearl together sound too old school preppy for me.

To Keep:
Alyssa Evangeline Odette
Alyssa Genevieve Faith
Alyssa Hermione PearlEliminate
Charlotte Odette - While they sound passable together, I don't care fot the look of the repeated endings.
Gabrielle Pearl - Same issue as above. It is still a nice middle name combo, but not quite as nice as all the other choices.
Charlotte Faith - I like all the other names better with Faith. Charlotte just isn't my favorite.

1. Keep Hermione, get rid of GabrielleOh it'll be the same for all three for me. I like Alyssa Hermione Faith the best.Um, Hermione is an interesting and pretty name. It's an oddly androgynous feminization of an androygnous divine figure, who also represents cool virtues. Plus, I just think it sounds nice with bright and prissy and active Alyssa, and contrasts nicely with style. Alyssa is very 90s American, where Hermione is more 2000s Brit fashion.Between Faith, Pearl, and Odette, I think Faith is the prettiest flourish on the end of the combo. I like the other two names, but Faith works best in the combo. I like the "ai" pairing.The other names are fine. Gabrielle is the most boring and expected, and I don't think it adds much. Alyssa Gabrielle might be pretty but fashionably, both names are dated to the same time period and boring in the same way. If I heard someone named their kid Alyssa Hermione I would think they were creative and artistic, but Alyssa Gabrielle just means they like boring dated names.

Thanks for your response, this is the kind of opinions I'm looking for. Detailed reasons for why we should or should use a name or a pa combo. I don't like Gabrielle for its meaning but rather association. I got it from Xena Warrior Princess and actually prefer Xena but unfortunately other than a first name Xena doesn't really work as a middle name. To me Gabrielle is a warrior, strong, kind, artistic, loyal and fuelled with a lot of partential. Yes it's from a 90s show but said show is timeless. Same reason why I like Hermione, Hermione Grangers attributes, enough said �

I get it. Gabrielle as a character name is less distinctive than Hermione, though, because it has been so popular and sounds like a lot of other names. Plus most people know a Gabrielle or two. Hermione doesn't sound like almost any other name, certainly not any popular one, and most people will immediately recognize that it has connection to the JKR character without it having to be explained.edit: X is a very cool middle initial and Alyssa Xena is a little zazazizi heavy but is cool enough to be allowed to be a bit awkward, IMO

Would those names to be eliminated or kept? Seeing as I asked for 1 set to eliminate and 1 set to keep (6 in total, plus your fave) I'm confused aon which set this is meant to be.

I think the same when I hear Pearl, especially as a first name.

List 1Eliminate Alyssa Gabrielle Odette. It feels kind of tawdry - the dated nature of Alyssa, my personal distaste for Gabrielle and the very French aura of Odette don't do each other any favours.
Keep Alyssa Hermione Odette. Hermione Odette flows well and seems very charming, almost magical.List 2Eliminate Alyssa Charlotte Faith. Dull and forgettable, Charlotte Faith doesn't sound well.
Keep Alyssa Gabrielle Faith. It's a solid combo, the names go together in sound and style.List 3Eliminate Alyssa Gabrielle Pearl. Seems cheap, if a name can be described that way, and the fact that Gabrielle and Pearl both end in an l sound is off-putting.
Keep Alyssa Genevieve Pearl. Genevieve Pearl feels very clean and sleek and composed, and Alyssa Genevieve works.

Eliminate the ones that contain Charlotte. So:Alyssa Charlotte Odette
Alyssa Charlotte Faith
Alyssa Charlotte PearlCharlotte is absolutely gorgeous (absolutely nothing against it) but it clashes with Alyssa since one ends with an 'S' sound and the other one begins with it. AlysSA CHarlotte (Sh sound)
