Fun Ratings Exercise
I have a bit of a fun exercise.
Choose your top male and female name (first and middle) and look up their "ratings" tab under their name. Click "find names with similar ratings" at the bottom of the "ratings" screen and choose a new name based on the names provided there.
For example, my top names are Amelia Josephine and Henry Robert. The new names would be Isabel Eleanor and Thales William.
If your top name doesn't have ratings, move on to your second favorite and so on and so forth.

Mine would be
Arianna Ophelia to Katarina Arabella which I think is great, there were a lot of other great names similar to the rating.
Boys its a lot harder to choose favourite name
Dorian Oliver would be Valentine Julian which is a fantastic name really nice.
Good idea

So my favourites are Rosetta and August. My new favourites are... Evangeline and Silas. I'm really impressed with this new feature! A lot of the "similar ratings" on my favourite name were other names I really liked.
while we're looking at ratings...
does anyone have any idea why Steven has been rated 3000+ more times than any other name?

I'm going to limit myself to names with the lowest percentage of variance
Helena Esmée Seraphina -> Sylvia Amandine Alethea
Ashley Jacob Evander -> Kristen Joey Dominic (only female names are listed and I'd have to go very far down in variance to find a unisex name, so I went with the most masculine sounding one there)
The only name I like here is Dominic. Sylvia is okay too.
Parisa Persephone Ai -> Laurelle Geneviève Fae
Mordecai Zia Storm -> Azrael Morgan Kekoa
All the names in the boy combo are on my list, so yay. Fae is cute; I wish I'd had more options than just Laurelle because I might have liked the combo if I did.

Anja Sylvia ---> Maia Annora
Leo Johannes ---> Jude Hesiod
I do like Annora and Jude, but the new combos are still not my style.
Those were the first listed names, some other combos would be (* = the ones I like):
Neha Elspeth
Akemi Helena
Alana Lenora
Amelie Lucille*
Ania Suzanne
Ayla Annette
Caitlín Caroline
Josie Isolde - Josephine Isolde "Josie" would be lovely
Laila Rosamund*
Lea Thomasina
Miles Aeneas
Dario Benedict
Leon Everett
Rhys Hamlet
Theo Linwood

Hesiod is kinda cool. Never heard of that one before.
Eowyn Grace > Avalon Claire
- Not bad, though I've honestly never considered Avalon as a name before.
It was a bit harder for me to even decide what my current top male name combo even would be, but I guess this works:
Roland Gabriel > Douglas Simeon or Gaspar Elias
- I guess I like Douglas Simeon better, but it was kind of surprising how many names I really like were right at the top (just 9% variance) for both.
