HelpRe: Opinions on these combos
in reply to a message by m4yb3_daijirou
These are interesting. My mind wants to feminize some of the names on sight, but others make striking combos.
Stephen Rose - read this as Stephanie Rose right away. However, since Rose is a noun-name, I think this could work. I am not a fan persay, but it's disarmingly disorienting. I could see some new-age parent running with this. Though, I personally don't find it realistic.
George Ann - Totally can see this. The French use Jean all the time for men and women. This looks like it could be a hyphenated Southern (US) name. I honestly think it would work well for a girl, but not so much for a boy.
Rhys Ava - I don't like the flow to the names regardless of the genders. It all meshes together into one sound. As a cross-gender combo, it has a slight edge that Rhys is not so popular where I live, so people would just assume it is a girl's name if paired with Ava. That said, I think this would sound better on a guy, and would not reccommend it for anyone.
Ryker Marine - The first name names Marine into a US Armed Services noun-name. This totally works. There is a military base named Riker and I am thinking that this name would fit right in at the Army-Brat school (not derogatory).
Daniel Joanne - Nope. I would think this girl was French and I would be confused if this was a girl. I love Danielle, so my brain keeps reading that. It would be kind of sad to see this name on a boy... it's not spunky enough that the girly name is chic and it is boring enough that the whole combo is like "A boy named Sue".
Sterling Serene - Works. Boy or girl, it is fine. Both words double as nouns so the flow and the meaning are a little more transcendent than the others. I like this combo actually.
August Charlotte - Again, I like this too. I would adore meeting a girl named August. However, I am not keen on this for a boy since Charlotte is the femininzation of an established boys name. August Susan or August Mary would make a bolder statement.
Wynn Orlanda - I think I would prefer Orlanda Wynn... but your way does make it more unisex to me. I can't say that I like this name, as neither are my style... but I think a boy or girl could pull this off without too much effort.
Rigby Leah - Oh! I would love to meet a girl named this! I think it works really well, and is quite funky and borderline trendy. A boy could handle this no problem, but it would merely be a unique name, not a gem (imo).
Kingston Belle - Hmm. This one is hard to judge, since it's almost like a person's first and last name. I don't think I could get along with Kingston on a girl, and Belle is not so crazy on a boy (bc Bell is a thing). It works, but is not as surprising as the rest.
Wyatt Caroline - Well, This works. We saw that Aston Kutcher and Mila Kunis named their daughter Wyatt. I think this works, and I prefer that Caroline is overly feminine with Wyatt. It sounds well together too. Not sure a boy could pull it off without teasing. But I guess we have seen it done before.
Curtis Rhiannon - Hmm. I can see it. Its interesting that this name (unlike the others) doesn't really scream one gender over the other. I think I could see it on a boy or a girl with no problem. That said, it is never anything I would come up with. But, I do appreciate that both names have a soft strength and are one the border of classy.
