I like:Lauren - Lauren Elisabeth is also a very pretty combo, if not unique (I know a ton of Laurens, and Elisabeth/Elizabeth is probably the middle name for quite a few of them)
Scarlett - prefer it with Alexandra, it has a better flow
Olivia - but not with Rachel, it's mixing genres too much
Elisabeth
Sofia
Ariella
&
John - but he needs a less common middle name
Jude
Luke
Jacob - Jacob William is a nice combo, but there are probably a ton of little Jacob Williams running around

I am completely literal minded! When I read your subject, I thought you were proposing a new name for the month of October. "Fallmonth", perhaps. Or in Au./N/Z., "Springmonth".

I like:Alexander - "Xan" is an interesting nickname, though I'm more partial to "Alec"
Valerian - I think Valerian Isaac is inspired, but I'm undecided on "Vale" as a nickname
Nicholas
Tycho
Leo
Jasper
(but not Nicky, Tyke, or Jazz)
&
Iris
Sylvia or Sylvie as the full name - if you're going to call her Sylvie anyway, just name her Sylvie (same thing with Julia vs. Julie - both are full names on their own); otherwise Sylvia should be herself: Sylvia... or maybe Syl...
Ruby
Mirabel - this is cute, and so is Mira, though I think I prefer the spelling Mirabelle

Catherine is a very pretty name, but it appears that a large portion of the world agrees, because it's one of the most popular names for a woman in the Anglophone world. (Combined with the Katherine spelling, it might actually be more popular than Mary.) I also think Lorena is lovely.I'm not feeling Delyth as much. I find it quite lispy, which is the same problem I have with Lilith. Carl is nms at all.Of your Top 10 names, I like:Julia

Enzo – “home ruler” or “giant”
Clark – “cleric / scribe”
Sebastian – “from Sebaste”
Isaac – “laughter”
Joseph – “he will add” or “Jehova increases”
Tennyson – “son of Dennis
Beckett – “beak” or “brook”
Reuben – “behold, a son”
Atticus – “from Attica”
Parker – “keeper of the park”Daughters
Octavia – “eighth”
Willow – “willow tree”
Sapphire – Hebrew gemstone name
Elena – “torch” or “moon”
Caroline – “free man”
Alice – “noble”
Luna – “moon”
Lexa – “defending men”
Rose – from the Latin flower name
Kimberly – “CYNEBURGA's field”A lot of changes... Sat here this morning going down my list saying all the names out loud, haha!

Pandora Amy Valencia Fae - Four names. That's a big one. I actually think the flow would be better if you took out Amy: "Pandora Valencia Fae." Additionally (and I don't know if "synesthetic vibes" are important to you), P names tend to feel much warmer in color than most V or F names (e.g. Sophia is a red name, while Sofia is a cool bluish-purple... to me, anyway). So there are a lot of different colors in that combo. Pandora is a tricky name, though, in terms of pairing it with something. I remember seeing "Pandora Tuesday" on the boards once and finding it positively inspired. I think Pandora would go best with a middle name that had a D in it somewhere. (Pandora Deirdre? Maybe... though Deirdre is awfully pink...)Demelza Georgiana Clio - I don't actually like any of these names individually, so I wouldn't have any valuable advice about grouping them together.Beatrix Sylvia Rosalind - "Sylvia Rosalind" is lovely, but Beatrix looks tacked on at the beginning. The -x in Beatrix and S in Sylvia also run into each other. Even though I'm not a fan of the name, what about Georgiana Sylvia Rosalind?Marigold Clara Hermione - Clara sounds awkward in the middle, though "Marigold Hermione" looks very nice and flows well. If you still want a middle name between them, I recommend that it be short and soft... like Anne.Lyra Beatrix Valentine - This is what I'm talking about! Beatrix definitely looks like she belongs here. I usually don't pair B and V names, but this combo is an exception.
Kitty, on the other hand, is a nickname. It's a cute nickname, but I don't think it should never find it's way onto someone's birth certificate.Georgiana Florence Eve - I like this combo better than the other one you proposed, mainly because I think "Florence Eve" flows better than "Florence Winter." Good use of Florence, though - that name doesn't get enough love.Fae Georgiana Lilac - I've developed a grudging respect for Georgiana since I've seen it so many times on your list. This combo is very pretty. I like your spelling of Fae as a first name, and Lilac (like Florence) doesn't get enough love.

Wow! Thanks for the feedback. I honestly didn't see it until now, but it must've taken a while. There are quite a lot of places where meaning had to win over flow, and in Pandora's case number of middles! But you're comments have been really helpful, especially for the combos I wasn't sure on, and for example with Ephraim, which I have as a first lower down my list, I can think about Atticus as a middle for it.
