Last month's list was such a mess I didn't even do combos originally! Luckily, I'm far more organized this time around. There were several changes to the feminine list, including the returns of a couple old favorites:

---

Nicholas Bennett
Wesley Owen Rhys
Finn Gabriel
Donovan Leo
Malcolm Elliott
Jonathan Tobias
Dominic Edwin
Avery William
Richard Ambrose
Marcus Adam
&
Sabrina Lily
Helena Sapphire
Alice Genevieve
Miranda Juliet
Felicity Caroline
Gabriella Fay
Ravenna Charlotte
Rochelle Violet
Willow Josephine
Callista Rosalie

---

Marcus, Alice, Gabriella, Willow, and Callista replaced Thomas, Alexandra, Fleur, Maxine, and Zoe respectively. I switched Bennett to be the middle for Nicholas and tried Tobias for Jonathan, and switched Adam to be the middle for Marcus and brought back Edwin for Dominic. For Felicity, I swapped Charlotte for Caroline and then gave Charlotte to Ravenna, and Violet to Rochelle (I think I've finally found the middle for Rochelle). Alice used to have Caroline, but now she has Genevieve.

Gabriella is a name I've wrestled with for a long time. I think both Gabriella and Gabrielle are beautiful, but I can't stand Gabby. I've had Briella on my list for a long time, but now I figure no, I'll go with the original and just push for Bree as a nickname (or... Ella?).

Ten years ago, I'd actually made the Top 10 post! I acknowledged even then that I did a lot of reworking (particularly to the feminine list), and these were the combos:

---

Bennett Arthur
Cameron James
Colin Prentice
Dominic Edmond
Malcolm Luke
Nicholas Hugh
Owen Wesley
Richard Henry
Ross Elliott
Spencer Noel
&
Abigail Wren
Chloe Viola (vie-OH-lah)
Cordelia Winifred
Esmée Miranda
Freya Genevieve
Irene Isobel
Juliet Evangeline
Penelope Frances
Serena Vivienne
Ursula Xanthe

---

Colin Prentice, Spencer Noel, and Irene Isobel surprised me; otherwise these combos feel familiar, with many similar to what I have now.
