Re: A few combinations
Romilly Hero Vivienne --I really dislike Romilly. It's a surname and has such an odd...bouncy? sound to it. Hero is all word to me. I just can't see it as a name. I do love Vivienne, though.
Josephine Violet Faye --Josephine Violet is absolutely beautiful but Faye is a bit of a letdown. Josephine Violet May would be much improved.
Araminta Poppy Jane --Araminta is way too much for me, and Poppy is so cutesy.
Hebe Liliane Wren --Hebe is a racial slur for Jews in my book. :/ I know it's a legit name and I know it's pronounced differently, but that's all I think of (and HEE-bee is so very, very ugly anyway. It makes me think of heebie-jeebies). I love Liliane and Wren is sweet in the middle, but I don't like the flow of Liliane Wren.
Cecily Genevieve May --Ooh, this is gorgeous!
Beatrice Eliza Florence --I dislike all three names but it's a nice combo.Oleander reminds me of odor, but as a guilty pleasure, sure.

I've never actually known "Hebe" as a slur. Odd. I've known it used as a name before, but rarely, so I don't actually know about the general consensus on it as a name vs. as an insult. Something to look into/ponder I guess.Regarding Josephine Violet ___, if you have any suggestions instead of May, I'd be happy to hear them.

I actually rather like Josephine Violet Alice, but the trouble is with Alice is that I have both a positive and negative association with it, and I can never decide which is more important to me. Hrm. I could get behind Josephine Violet Pearl!
