DS: Thorsten Marnix RafaelThese combos are a bit differnet from the ones above, because I'd like to use all the names that have a special meaning to me.Names that are honouring or have a special meaning to me:
Odilia (honours my aunt, it's her MN)
Elodie (honours my mom: Elly)
Lovisa (honours my grandmother: Louise was her MN)
Catharina (honours my other grandmother: Catharina and it's also my MN)
Marino (honours my grandfather: Marijnus and my dad, his MN is: Marinus)
Constantine (honours my brother: Constantijn "Stijn")
Santiago (special meaning because my dad want to cycle to Santiago de Compostela, after he's done it, I might use Santiago as a MN in honour of that achievement)
Marnix (special meaning because it would have been my own name if I had been a boy)OT:
For those who don't know Santiago the Compostela is a medieval pelgrimage destination, my dad's starting point would be Breda in the Netherlands, that's near the L of the word benelux on this map: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Stjacquescompostelle1.png
ETA: (and the desination of course is the big red dot in the top left of Spain (Espagne))

Just the girls for nowI'll do the rest when I have more time :)Junia Briseis Elodie "Junie" - very lovely! Although Junie seems to insult the beauty of the other names. Oh, and how exactly do you pronounce Briseis? Is it just bris-ICE?Noa Lovisa Kerensa - very pretty. None of the names are my style, but they are still beautiful.Iris Odilia Winter - Odilia is very, very not my style, but it's not horrid. Iris and Winter are gorgeous.Morgana Soraya Vera - stunning! My only complaint is that there's a bit much -a sound, but it's so pretty I don't think it really matters.Era Catharina Vianne - What a lovely flow! I very much love it.Leila Philomena Juliet - the style of the different names seem to clash to me (mostly Philomena) but maybe that's just me. Leila and Julie are very pretty.

Thanks :)And I pronous Briseis as something in between bree-SAYS and bree-SIE-is. In Dutch I ought to type Briseïs to get the right pronunciation, but I think that the dots sort of ruin the beauty of the name. Odilia is the only name I like even a bit to honour my aunt Wilhelmina Odilia "Wilma". I think Wilma sounds very dated and Wilhelmina sounds even more archaic...Leila Philomena Juliet is clearly the last combo, I liked Leila something Juliet, and wanted to put something in there that would have a vague reference to my dad (Philippus Marinus Petrus "Flip"), I don't care much for Philippa or Petra, and I would liek to reserve Marino for if I ever have a boy (Boaz Marino Constantine) otherwise I might consider Leila Marina Juliet. btw I say Philomena as fee-lo-MAY-nah:

Oscar Santiago AndreasI think the meanings you have behind your names are really awesome, too. I go back and forth between using a lot of meaning names and thowing meaning out the window. I think the fact that you have names that are really meaningful to you is very cool.
