HelpRe: combo mix up. (ETA)
in reply to a message by armyofbono
Name: Charlotte
Charlotte Pearl is okay, but Charlotte Winifred is miles better, in my opinion. I don't feel like Charlotte and Wren go well together, nor Lark, and I dislike both the second syllable of Charlotte and Lark starting with the same sound. Something is off balance with Charlotte Elise.
Verdict: Charlotte Winifred
Name: Juniper
I feel like Juniper Elise runs together a bit. Juniper Pearl is Joon's first and last name in the movie Benny & Joon. I love the movie, but I don't know that I would use that combo. Plus, the ---per Pearl thing. The rhythm of Juniper Winifred is good, but the names vibe so differently to me. Juniper and Wren have similar vibes, but they run together a bit for me as well (Juna purr in?). With Juniper Lark, both are spunky and a bit quirky; however, they are both nature names.
Verdict: Juniper Lark
Name: Eleanor
Eleanor Lark seems mismatched to me. Eleanor Pearl sounds okay if said "Ella-Nor" Pearl, but it sounds slightly odd if you pronounce it "Elli-ner" Pearl. Eleanor Winifred almost works but not quite. Eleanor Wren sounds like "Ella Norrin." I sometimes like alliteration, so I'm digging Eleanor Elise a bit.
Verdict: Eleanor Elise
Name: Ruby
Ruby Winifred kind of works. Ruby is fun, has a bit of spunk and sparkle, but it also has a weight to it. Winifred is light and airy but with a bit of an earthy thunk on the end. So the weight and the thunk semi-match? But the colors are all wrong. I don't know how to explain it. Ruby Pearl doesn't sound good at all, and of course, there's the whole noun ruby-rock/precious pearl thing. Ruby Lark and Ruby Wren are also noun-noun/adjective-noun combos. Ruby and Lark could almost be siblings, but it just doesn't work in a single name. Elise has a simple sophistication. It's well-to-do without trying too hard. Ruby has been in use for awhile, so it's got age to it as well as modernity due to it's more recent rise in popularity. Elise also has a classic feel but is enjoying more popularity. The vintage cred mixed with the modern approachability of both names make them go together fairly well.
Verdict: Ruby Elise
Name: Edith
Edith and Wren both have some brown to them and an earthiness, so they're not entirely mismatched. Although Wren can be quirky and somewhat energetic at times, Edith tones it down a bit. Edith and Pearl are both very vintage/"old lady" and work well together, but they lack pizzazz. Lark has many of the same qualities as Wren, but it's a bit livelier, even next to Edith. Still, the --th La-- is kind of difficult to say. I love Edith. I love Winifred. I do not love the flow of them together. Whereas the alliteration in Eleanor Elise worked for me, I find Edith Elise a bit lispy.
Verdict: Edith Wren
I like Bennett pretty well. It's soft, yet masculine. I prefer it as a nickname for Benedict, but it's okay as a full name too. Bennett Reid sounds good, but it's also a bit surnamey. Wyatt Jackson sounds okay, but it's not my style at all. It sounds very cowboy together, and the names are both trendy as well.
