Romilly Beatrice May - I don't like Beatrice, but I love Romilly and May (you wouldn't want to change it to Mae would you??) and the combo is absolutely wonderful
Josephine Arabella Hero - Okay, hang on. That is making me head spin. Josephine is great, Arabella is immensely frilly feeling. And Hero? Hero looks like it forgot to get dressed for the ball and is looking for the nearest exit to make a quick escape. I'm trying to look for a way that Hero is balancing out the other two, but it's just not happening for me.
Viola Wilhelmina Wren - Viola Wren starts to soar, but Wilhelmina brings it clomping back down to the ground in army boots.
August Nathaniel Fox - The flow is a bit clunky for me, but I do like all the names.
Misha Sebastian Leo - My strong dislike of Misha makes it hard to be objective about the combo. I don't really love the way my tongue moves to go from Sebastian to Leo.
Kasper Zachariah Grey - Zachariah Grey is really great! I don't like Kasper and I don't like it in that combo.

I like Romilly Beatrice May a lot. Josephine and Arabella together are too ornate, and Hero is trying too hard. I heartily dislike Violet, but at least its pronunciation is obvious; Viola, though ... vieOla, or veeOla, or even VEEola ...too much uncertainly for one small name to bear. Wilhelmina where I live would be pronounced with a V rather than a W, which would be a pity with Viola. I like the reading lesson represented by Wilhelmina and the silent W of Wren.
On the boy side, I don't like any of the fns. The flow is OK, but the names are NMS. Of the middles, I could happily consider Sebastian and Leo.

My favourite combinations is: Viola Wilhelmina Wren I think all names work really well together.
Josephine Arabella is done however I think Hero at the end doesn't work in my opinion.
Romilly Beatrice May is a nice combination however I wouldn't use it myself.
Favourite male combination is August Nathaniel Fox, at first I didn't like the Fox but it does work very well together. I also really like Kasper Zacheriah Grey I think that is a great combination really different yet similar names. I like Misha and Leo, not a big fan of Sebastian.
Good combinations though over all.

What do you mean by "done"?
Thank you!
Thank you!

I don't get the appeal of 3 word names, but I won't mention that for each one.
Romilly Beatrice May: I don't think it flows as well as I want it to, though I can't really put my finger on why. I don't think Romola Beatrice May or Romina Beatrice May look any better, though I think Romola Beatrice Mae looks lovely. Its too bad because I like all three names you chose, they just don't flow in my eyes.
Josephine Arabella Hero: This one for sure doesn't flow and looks mismatchy to me. Josephine is serious, Arabella is frilly and flighty, and Hero is just too masculine in the combo and looks like a full stop to the first two. I do like all the names, though.
Viola Wilhelmina Wren: I actually think this one flows well, though in my nitpicky mind I might be adverse to it personally because I wouldn't want two names starting with the same letter. Its interesting because I really don't like Wilhlemina but this combo works.
August Nathaniel Fox: I like this, though would prefer it August Nathaniel and drop the Fox.
Misha Sebastian Leo: This one doesn't flow, to me. I like Sebastian Leo but I think Misha is the "which one of these things just doesn't belong."
Kasper Zachariah Grey: All over the place!

*shudders at the thought of replacing Romilly*
Thank you!
Thank you!

All the girls' combos I completely love, most of all Viola Wilhelmina Wren.
Overall, I like the boys' ones too, but I don't like the names Nathaniel or Zachariah. August, Fox, Kasper and Grey are all nice though (especially Kasper), so I still enjoy those two combos. Misha Sebastian Leo is really cute.

Romilly Beatrice May: This is your daughter. Would you call her by a nickname, like Millie or Romy?
Josephine Arabella Hero: The Hero throws me off, big time.
Viola Wilhelmina Wren: I like Wilhelmina and I can tolerate Wren on the right person, but I LOATHE Viola. I think it's UGLY.
August Nathaniel Fox: Just three random names strung together, IMO. Nathaniel is dope.
Misha Sebastian Leo: A bit more cohesive, but not my style. Leo is great.
Kasper Zachariah Grey: I wish more people would use Zachariah, but the others are NMS at all. Icky.

Romilly Beatrice May - I actually really dislike Beatrice (it has such a, stuffy, tight-laced sound) but the rhythm of this combo is great.
Josephine Arabella Hero - you'd put Hero right at the back, where no one knows it's there? Hero is my top GP for a girl. Josephine is melting and lovely. Arabella, though. Arabella is like a flouncy party dress with far too much ribbon and lace. I don't like it at all.
Viola Wilhelmina Wren - woa. It looks like a VW overload. Saying it outloud there is no problem, and I like it a lot (despite not much caring for Wilhelmina) but written down it looks weird.
August Nathaniel Fox - Love this combo
Misha Sebastian Leo - heh, no. Misha Sebastian, when I say it, I want to go "mee-sha sheh-basht-ian". Obviously I know that's not how you say it, but... my tongue wants to turn Misha Sebastian into a joke.
Kasper Zachariah Grey - Wow. This is awesome. To match Kasper Zachariah (both smokey grey) and then follow it with Grey... this is like a charcoal sketch. I love these names together so much.

Love your description of KZG! Thank you!

Romilly Beatrice May - I really like it! I always adored Beatrice and May. And I think Romilly is a very sweet and interesting name. They all go well together and I think this is the best order for the combo.
Josephine Arabella Hero - I love Josephine. Hero is quite special, but I like it. Arabella is too frilly for me, but on the other hand it's balancing the bit cloddy Hero.
Viola Wilhelmina Wren - I don't care for Viola or Wren, but Wilhelmina is great. For the combo, I don't like the repeating 'V/W' sound. I would change one of the names to another with a different sound at the beginning.
August Nathaniel Fox - I like August, I don't care for Nathaniel amd I don't like Fox. But, as a combo, it flows well and sounds good. So, it's okay for me.
Misha Sebastian Leo - I really like Sebastian Leo. I'm not very happy with Misha. I don't like the repeating 'sh' sound in combination with Sebastian.
Kasper Zachariah Grey - This combo sounds very rough to my ears. I like Kasper, but that's it...

Thank you! The (potential) alliteration in Viola Wilhelmina Wren is part of why I love the combo, haha. There isn't a 'sh' sound for me in Sebastian, though I have heard it that way so I definitely take that as a fair criticism.

Romilly Beatrice May - I think it's wonderful, but there's still something a bit "off" with it. Maybe switch the order around to Romilly May Beatrice?
Josephine Arabella Hero - I like Josephine, and Hero is cool. Used to like Arabella, but now find it boring and rather unattractive. It's a fairly good combo though, but I would go with Josephine Hero Arabella, or Josephine Hero Arabelle
Viola Wilhelmina Wren - It's very V/W heavey which I don't like. I like Wren though
August Nathaniel Fox - Lovely
Misha Sebastian Leo - Don't like the spelling of Misha, and the flow is a bit off. I adore Sebastian and Leo though.
Kasper Zachariah Grey - Love all of the names, but again, I would change the order to Kasper Grey Zachariah. Or use Zachariah as a FN?
Josephine Arabella Hero - I like Josephine, and Hero is cool. Used to like Arabella, but now find it boring and rather unattractive. It's a fairly good combo though, but I would go with Josephine Hero Arabella, or Josephine Hero Arabelle

Interesting that you prefer most of the combos in a different order! I can certainly understand it, and would probably consider it if it ever came to appending a surname to them. I'd love to use Zachariah as a fn, but it would mess up with my accidental syllable pattern.
Thank you!
Thank you!
