Help[Opinions] Re: Top 10 for February
in reply to a message by Raven Briar
Robin Arthur - I don't normally like mixing my Os and Us (it looks odd to me), but this combo appeals to me. It's like a... rebel king.
Nicholas Evander - I think Evander was one of the middles I used to pair with Nicholas in the past. Solid combo.
Peter Emrys - Don't normally like Peter, but the flow of this one is good.
Nathaniel Simon - Another solid combo. Biblical, but not boring.
Victor Amadeus - Definitely sounds like a composer, or someone who commissioned a composer while wearing lots of brocade. It's very cold to me, though - the "ict" in Victor / Victoria has never won me over (Hector can also join this group).
Jasper Roderick Reuel - I get the honoring, but this whole combo is very R-heavy, especially with the end of Jasper running into Roderick like that.
Ezra Cadfael - Now this is interesting! I can't recall seeing Cadfael on one of these lists before. It's a genre mix that works.
Constantine Silvanus - While Victor up there is clad in brocade, Gus over here is sporting a toga. This is the most OTT combo here.
Dominic Moriel - Love Dominic, but can't say the same for Moriel. I usually pair Dominic with middles that begin with a vowel, I think it flows better that way.
Ivo Taliesin - I like seeing Taliesin here, but can never remember if Ivo is supposed to be EE-voh or IE-voh. Don't know if I like either pronunciation, to be honest.
Gwendolyn Alice - It looks like Gwen- names are on the upswing, and I don't mind at all. Alice complements Gwendolyn well.
Vidia Eden - "Video [of] Eden"? Can't say I like this one at all, I'm sorry.
Lydia Andraste - It's so weird seeing Andraste outside of Dragon Age! Are you using the ahn-DRAHS-tay pronunciation? In any case, this combo flows well and is exciting.
Eleanor Vera - Vera is an interesting choice as a middle here, I like it. (And of course, Eleanor is in my Top 10 as well.)
Katarina Saoirse - Very much a mix not only of genres, but cultures. I've said it aloud a few times and I'm not sure the flow of "REE-nuh SEER-shuh" is all that easy. I like both names individually, but not together, sorry.
Tamsin Victoria - Quite like Tamsin, even though, from what I gather, it's becoming dated in the U.K. It sounds fresh to my ears because it has never had much use in the U.S. Despite not usually caring for Victoria, she fits well here.
Matilda Remei - Great flow, and I'm glad to see Remei get some love.
Evangeline Florence - Gorgeous.
Ingrid Linnea - I think Linnea is wonderful, but Ingrid is such an ice queen; and the ending -d leading to the beginning L isn't seamless when I say the combo aloud. They're both Swedish names, but I'm not sure they match.
Meredith Hazel - Not two names I would've paired together, but I'm warming up to this combo's hipster charm.
