Boys...I like both but prefer Nicholas Lincoln. Really liking Lincoln in the MN spotI really dislike August and Zane is ok, but not my style at allSilas Logan. I'm not really a fan of either name, prefer Logan to Silas though. They do sound nice togetherLuca Oliver I cute :)Not for me at allGirls.. I like both names and Violet Sydney really works together. I really like itRiley Allison. I like Riley. Allison is so dated to me though. Riley Alice or Riley Violet would be gorgeousPrefer Isla to Aila, but Isla Kate makes me want to yawn so maybe Aila spices it up a tiny bitNot a fan of Mila Sawyer at allMarlie is very meh, as I Marley. I like Helena

I prefer Nikolai in general, however in this instance I think Nicholas Lincoln flows better.August Zane and Silas Logan are fine. I think Lucas Oliver flows better and is easier to say than Luca Oliver.Lorenzo is nms but I do like Enzo Maverick.I love the name Violet, however Violet Sydney doesn't work for me. How about Violet Sadie or Violet Kennedy?Riley Allison is nms. I've always preferred Riley for a boy.Aila Kate is nice, though I prefer the look of Ayla Kate.I love Mila but I find this combo awkward to say and Sawyer is another name I prefer on a boy. How about Mila Sariah or Mila Samara?Marlie Helena is charming. Definitely my favourite of your combos.

Overall... some good names, some of the combos feel a bit awkward.Boys
1. Nikolai/Nicholas Lincoln - Nicholas Lincoln is easier to say2. August Zane - I love August, but feel Zane really brings it down3. Silas Logan - It's ok, but feels a bit mismatched4. Luca Oliver - the double vowel in the middle makes it awkward5. Lorenzo/Enzo Maverick - I dislike both of these namesGirls
1. Violet Sydney - both just NMS2. Riley Allison - prefer Alice, I would really like Alice Riley3. Aila Kate - not too made up, it's much prettier than Isla. Nice combo.4. Mila Sawyer - both end in similar sound. It's ok, but I don't really like Sawyer5. Marlie Helena - Both lovely names, I think it is easier to say Helena Marlie

1. Nikolai / Nicholas Lincoln Nicholas would probably be my preference of the two, but that's just today. I could prefer Nikolai tomorrow and in any case, I find most variants of the name so interchangeable that I've never really bothered to choose an absolute favourite and instead tend to choose Nicholas by default. Nicholas Lincoln and Nikolai Lincoln both have too many letters in common for my liking, however.

2. August Zane Love August unconditionally. It's my #1 for a boy and has been for some time. Zane I could happily live without.3. Silas Logan Silas and Logan clash completely and I find the both of them together a little grating. 4. Luca Oliver Both nice names, if very common here. I wouldn't really look twice if I saw a Luca Oliver. The flow isn't particularly great, I must say. 5. Lorenzo / Enzo Maverick I prefer Lorenzo "Enzo", it just has more substance. I've never been a huge fan of Maverick. 1. Violet Sydney Complete clash, here. Violet Sydney are two very different names to me and I don't think it works.2. Riley Allison I like it, in an all-American way, but I'm not sure I'd like seeing it in person.

I love basically all of this combos!! I love Nikolai Lincoln (much prefer Nikolai to Nicholas), August Zane and Luca Oliver. While Silas Logan and Lorenzo/Enzo Maverick aren't my style, I can appreciate them.I like Violet Sydney, Riley (Allison isn't a name I've ever had much love for but it's okay), Mila Sawyer (NMS but I like it anyway) and Marlie (I see no problem with spelling it this way, I think it looks nice). I also like Aila Kate but wanted to mention it separately to say that I do like the way Aila looks but I wouldn't immediately pronounce it like Isla. I personally think it would be safer to stick to the Isla spelling so that she wouldn't have to pronounce it her whole life (if she ever were to exist =P).

I like Nicholas more than Nikolai, unless you're Russian or something. Lincoln's alright but I'm not thrilled by the combo with Nicholas. Can I rearrange all these combos, actually?Nicholas Oliver
August Lincoln
Silas Maverick
Luca Zane
Lorenzo/Enzo LoganAugust Zane, Silas Logan, and Enzo Maverick aren't bad but I like the above more.
Luca Oliver doesn't flow IMO.I like the names Nicholas, August, and Zane, Enzo is nifty (it's the name of a third grader I know), and Maverick is an interesting middle name.I like the name Violet and the combo is fine. Reading Violet Sydney makes me think of the Australian city seen through a purple filter, but as a real person's name it would not.I like the name Aila pronounced Isla and personally don't think it's too made-up. It's as made-up as the name I gave my daughter. If you're worried about people thinking you got creative, you would not want to use it, because they will. But it isn't an actual problem, if you like the spelling enough. Anyway, there's a legit name Ayla which can be pronounced Isla too. I know one.I like the name Allison, and Marlie is cute - I like it much more than Marley, which looks like ... well, like a guy's last name! and like a dog name.
