Stella Rosemary?

Stella Rosemary?

Stella Rosemary has a really nice flow. I love Stella. Not a big fan of Rosemary, but it flows well so if you like it go for it, it's just nms. 7/10

Matilda Snow and Hugo Evander?

Helena Phoebe Caroline

Helena Rosalie Maeve

Helena Caroline Maeve

Helena Caroline Bridget

Helena Vivian Ruth/Helena Vivian

Helena Valerie

* Trying to rename myself, so I'm looking to see what would fit me best.  I pronounce Helena as Hel-ay-na.  My LN will be Fleming.

 

My current name and my siblings':

Amanda Lynn (me, but I hate it, both separately and together and it doesn't have obvious nickname options that I like so I go by Laney.  I also hate how close it sounds to my sisters' names and that it was extremely common when I was growing up)

Sarah Theresa (Theresa was the middle name of our paternal great-grandmother and one of our aunts)

Cassandra Marie nn Cassie (Marie is my mom's middle name)

William John (his father is William Ellis Jr. but he and my mom didn't want my brother to be a III.  John is after my step-dad's late baby brother who died at only 1 year old.  My maternal grandpa is William John too.  I wanted a brother named after him when I was little.  lol)

 

Thoughts on these?

[Cass]

Marigold Isla June and Hugh Lawrence

Marigold Isla June: I don't think this flows that well and I'm not a fan of Isla or June, or even double middles in general (so,etimes I make exceptions). Marigold is kinda nice and I like the nickname Mari, or Mere like Meredith could fit too. 5/10

Hugh Lawrence: I don't really like the flow or Hugh. I love Lawrence. 6/10

[Cass]

Piper Rosalie Mae
Millie Scarlett Faith
Wilder Judson Knox "Wiley"
Finn Theodore Jude
Thoughts on combos & sib set?
TIA!

Piper Rosalie Mae: I'm not a very big fan of double middles, and I love Piper Rosalie so much more than with Mae. The flow is great but I would prefer Mae as May (I've never liked ae spellings). I love Piper so much and Rosalie and the spelling May are super pretty. 8/10

Millie Scarlett Faith: This is one of the occasions where I actually like the double middle. I love Scarlett and Faith (they have both been on my list before) and they flow pretty with Millie. However, I don't like Millie at all. It reminds me more of a nickname than a name, and I don't like any of the full names for it. 6/10

Wilder Judson Knox "Wiley": My favorite combo of yours, very handsome. Although I still would prefer Wilder Judson, Knox is kind of cute. Wiley is kind of cute, but I hope he would grow into Wilder as I don't think Wiley ages very well. 9/10

Finn Theodore Jude: Flow is pretty good and Finn is a cute name. 7/10

Helena Combos: Helena is pretty. HAR 9/10, HKV 6/10, HAC 8/10, HCA 7/10, HRK 4/10, HKR 8/10, HBK 6/10, HKB 8/10, HPC 5/10, HRM 4/10, HCM 5/10, HCB 7/10, HVR 5/10, HViv 6/10, HVal 10/10, HG 6/10

Combos I like: Helena Annabel Ruth (I prefer Annabelle, but it is still one of my favorite names and the combo flows well), Helena Audrey Caroline, Helena Katherine Ruth, Helena Katherine Bridget, and Helena Valerie.
My favorite is probably either Helena Valerie or Helena Annabel Ruth

Amanda Lynn: Too common for my taste, I've never been a big fan of either name. I liked Laney, though.
Sarah Theresa: Don't like either name and don't flow that well 3/10
Cassandra Marie "Cassie": Love it, my favorite of your siblings names. Bit too common. 9/10
William John: A bit too common but handsome. 7/10

Digby Shepherd

Theodore Galen

Wren Fitzwilliam

Cecilia Nyx - I absolutely love Cecilia! It is gorgeous and grows very well. Nyx is really cute, and it's spunk balances out the classicalness of Cecilia. Flow is really pretty. 10/10

Elinor Ottoline - Not a big fan of this combo. It flows okay but I don't like either name. I think that everyone would spell Elinor incorrectly. 5/10

Mary-Pearl Cordelia - Mary-Pearl is pretty, but I think Mary Pearl (as a double first name) looks better. Cordelia is nice too. 8/10

Olwen Thomasina - I dislike both names and the flow is a bit weird. Olwen sounds like an old ladies name and doesn't age very well. 3/10

Seeley Mirabel - I've never heard of Seeley before. It is kind of cute, but not my favorite. Mirabel is super pretty. 8/10

-

Digby Shephard - Has a nice flow, but I'm not sure I like Digby. It sounds like the name of a construction worker for some reason haha. Shephard is very handsome. 7/10

Neville Aubrey - Not a fan of Neville or Aubrey. Flow is alright. 3/10

Noah Valentine - I love love love Noah and Valentine is cute too. Flow is great. 9/10

Russell Hemingway - I like Russell and the flow is great. Hemingway sounds more like a last name to me, but it's alright. 6/10

Theodore Galen - Love Theodore, it's a classic and ages really well. I don't like Galen at all. Have you ever thought about Theodore Glenn? I think that would be a nice upgrade of this combo Galen: 5/10 Glenn: 10/10

Wren Fitzwilliam - Okay name. Flow is amazing. Neither name is my style, but still good. 9/10

[Cass]

Juniper (girl) "Juno"
Remington (boy) "Remi"
Hawthorne (boy) "Hawk"

Juniper "Juno" - Adorable and age very well! Love it 9/10

Remington "Remi" - Not a fan of the name or nn. 2/10

Hawthorne "Hawk" - I adore Hawthorne but dislike Hawk. That is why I keep Hawthorne as a middle, because I don't know what nn sounds right. 7/10

Girls:

Lilia Genevieve - Lilia is my top favorite name and fits my Latvian heritage, except it's spelled Lilija in Latvian.  Genevieve sort of honors my mom Janet (similar sounds at the beginning) and I just really like it too.  I'm at a loss on nicknames though.  I don't want her being called Lily or Lil/Lill.

Irena Judith (Ih-ree-na)  - Irena is the Latvian spelling of the Russian name Irina and it also honors Irena Sendler, a Polish woman who saved around 2500 Jewish children during WWII, but with a slightly different pronunciation.

Susanna Audrey

Maia/Maija Elizabeth - Maija is the Latvian spelling of Maia/Maya, Maia comes from Greek mythology.  Elizabeth honors my maternal great-aunt

Vera Josephine - Josephine honors uncle Joseph's on both sides, mainly my late maternal great-uncle.

Aislinn Jane (ASH-lin) - One of the rare -lyn names that I don't mind.  Aislinn reflects my Irish heritage and I prefer it over the trendy Americanized spelling Ashlyn;  Aislinn is originally spelled Aisling, but I dislike the g, so I'd go with a legit variant that is also used in Ireland.  Jane honors a late paternal great-aunt and my mom.

Xanthe Caroline Rose/Xanthe Rose - Rose is a family name and I love Xanthe and Caroline.

Evelina Rose - Evelina honors a late maternal great-aunt.

Magnolia Elizabeth/Magnolia Jane

Zoya Madeleine - Zoya is after one of my favorite Danielle Steel novels.  It's the Russian form of Zoe, which I don't like, but I love Zoya.  I just love the spelling of Madeleine better than Madeline or Madelyn.  I pronounce the MN as Mad-ah-line.

Paulina Rose

Thea Rose - I love the name, just wish Thea wasn't getting so popular.

Tessa Rose - Same as Thea

Fiona Audrey/Fiona Maeve/Fiona Elizabeth

Vada Elizabeth - I love the movie My Girl.

Daphne Rebecca/Daphne Giselle/Daphne Noelle

Maeve Alexandra

Gabrielle Rose - I love Gabrielle.  I just don't like the obvious nicknames.

Estrella Madeleine (Eh-STRAY-ah)

Cassia Victoria/Cassia Margaret - Cassia Honors my little sister Cassandra AKA Cassie.  I'd use the full name to avoid confusion.  Margaret is my late maternal grandmother's confirmation name.

Lyra Natalie/Lyra Stephanie - Stephanie honors a family friend.

 

 

Boys:

Ronan Jesse - Jesse honors a late paternal relative.

Lachlan Elliot

Dmitri James - James honors relatives on both sides.

Abram Vincent

Ephraim Zachary

Eamon Francis/Eamon Alexander

Rhys Alfred - Alfred honors some paternal relatives.

Raphael Vincent

Conrad James/Conrad Jensen/Conrad Jensen James

Henrik/Henriks Daniel - Henriks is the Latvian form of Henry, Henrik is the German form.  Daniel is a name I just really love.
