 I really like Prosper William, Mackenzie Jude, Leo Gabriel, Elliott Rafferty, Dax Tobias, and Caleb Graeme. Emerson Ivo, Raphael Noah, and Linden James are nice, too. The only one I don't like is Theo Willoughby. Both are handsome names, but together the The-O Will-O sound is just too much.  

 

 

Penrose Luna is a nice sounding pair, but Penrose is a definite masculine name to me. Penny is cute. I adore Temperance, but Indigo isn't my favorite. I absolutely love Indie, though! I really like Posey Isabella, Ophelia Rue, and Esther Rosalind. I love Elise, but Minerva isn't for me. Sunny Matilda is just not my style. Clio Susannah and Ramona Grey are nice enough. I love love love Winnie Eloise, but Winona is not my taste.

Love LOVE :wub: Prosper William! :wub: It is both elegant and fun. It is unique and not at all weird or hard to say/spell.

 

Not a huge fan of Mackenzie for a boy, but I do like Mac quite a bit.

 

Leo, Emmett and Emerson have always been some of my top names for boys.

 

I like Theo, but would have a hard time seeing myself actually using it. 

 

The other names are nice, but not my personal style for boys. 

 

 

 

 

I love :wub: Penrose :wub:  just as much as I love Prosper. They both feel like really good character names as well. Luna is not my favorite mn. 

 

Indigo, Sunny and Posey are nice names that I think are very fresh and cute. 

 

Ophelia and Winona are both so beautiful. 

 

Esther is classic and vintage, just my style! 

 

Clio is ok, but I have always preferred the spelling Cleo. 

 

Minerva... sorry, I'm not a fan. It does sound like a good character name, except it feels like it would be the name of the villain for me  :ph34r:  :unsure:

I always love your list, girly :) I especially love Emerson Ivo, Caleb Graeme, Theo Willoughby, Linden James, Penrose Luna, Indigo Temperance, Posey Isabella, Ophelia Rue, Minerva Elise, Esther Rosalind, and Winona Eloise!! So basically most your list lol. 

 

I'm on the fence with Prosper William though. It looks so elegant, like he'd be a nice guy. I don't love Prosper, but the more I hear it the more it grows on me.

Boys

Prosper William - I can't really see Prosper on a little boy. Sorry. But I think it does go well with William.

Mackenzie Jude 'Mac'Not a fan of Mackenzie for either gender, but I really like the nickname Mac and I adore Jude, so I do like this combo overall.

Leo Gabriel - I really like this one. 

Elliott Rafferty - I adore Elliott and its various spellings, but I'm iffy on Rafferty.

Emerson Ivo - I really like Emerson, and though I'm unfamiliar with Ivo I think this combo flows well.

Dax Tobias - Not sure how I feel about Dax, but I love Tobias and I think this combo goes well together.

Raphael Noah - Raphael is a bit much for me, but I like Noah.

Caleb Graeme - I'm never sure how to say Graeme, but I like this combo.

Theo Willoughby - I prefer Theodore because it feels more complete, but this combo has a nice vintage feel, as most of your combos do.

Linden James - This is one of my favorites on your list. I've contemplated Linden before as an honoring name after my mother, Linda, and I'm not sure which gender I prefer it on, but James makes this a nice masculine combo.

 

Girls

Penrose Luna 'Penny' - I love both names and the nickname Penny but I feel like the N's clash a bit here.

Indigo Temperance 'Indie' - This is kind of a daring combo but I like it a lot, and Indie is a really cute, casual nickname to use for Indigo.

Sunny Matilda  - Not a fan of Sunny at all, but I like Matilda as a middle here.

Posey Isabella - Both names are really nice and feminine, but I think she S's clash.

Clio Susannah - Not really a fan of either name, but I think it flows well.

Ophelia Rue - I've actually had this very combo on my list (not sure if it still is) but I adore it! Definitely my favorite of your girls!

Minerva Elise 'Minnie' - This is a close second to Ophelia Rue. I adore Elise, and I like the classic feel of Minerva and how it's lightened with fun Minnie.

Esther Rosalind 'Ettie' - Another one I really like. Love Ettie as a nickname for Esther and Rosalind goes nicely with it.

Ramona Grey - I really prefer Grey on a boy, and I'm not huge on Ramona. Sorry.

Winona Eloise 'Winnie' - I really like Winnie but am iffy on its full names. Eloise is okay but I feel like Winona Eloise is a bit of a mouthful altogether.

Thanks Addy (: Prosper William is my top combo right now, with Dax Tobias a close second. I agree about Theo Willoughby, and I don't love it as much as I did before. I like Penrose for boys too, but at the moment I'm liking it more for girls. Thanks for the opinions!

 

Love LOVE :wub: Prosper William! :wub: It is both elegant and fun. It is unique and not at all weird or hard to say/spell.

Thank you MommaMeg (: My lists are changing daily lol, but most of these names have stayed on in some form or another. Thanks again (:

Thanks Remy! I always love your lists too (: It's changed a little since then, but most of it is the same lol. Having a harder time sticking with girl combos recently, but my girls lists always change more than the boys. Thanks again (:

Thank you Jenna! I pronounce Graeme like grey-um, but I know some people pronounce it like gram (I think), it would honor my partner if we used it. I thought Ophelia Rue sounded and looked familiar! Sorry for pinching it! Thanks again (:
