Haven't done combos for a while:

BOYS
August Noah
Micah Jarrod
Leo Zachariah
Riley Ezekiel
Elijah Wilson
Archie Jonathan
Thomas Xavier
Jack Carter
Hugo Asher
Thatcher Gray

GIRLS
Willow Sarah
Sasha Adele
Maya Elizabeth
Lydia Katherine
River Amalie
Aurora Brooke
Hazel Autumn
Elaina Jade
Ivy Sinead
Marlowe April

I don't know about everyone else but I struggle with those last 2 spots after #8. My first 4 boys' names stay the same and the next 4 switch around between themselves. My top girls' name is always Willow, then the next 7 shuffle about. But those last 2 slots could be almost anything!

Based off of first names, I love...

♡ Elijah

♡ Leo

♡ Elaina

Based off of combos, I like...

♡ Hugo Asher
♡ Leo Zachariah

♡ Elaina Jade
♡ Ivy Sinead Definitely my favorite
♡ Lydia Katherine
♡ Sasha Adele
♡ Willow Sarah

Note: I like putting names I’m currently loving on these monthly lists instead of just my all time favorites. My all times still make the list if I’m still infatuated with them, but some more realistic names I’d use don’t make the cut in favor of more GP / new names I like.

I love a lot of these! Christopher "Kit" and Alexander "Sasha" are both adorable, and I actually really like Clair (which is unexpected). Tristan I like too (I just... love Arthurian names), and Léonide "Leo" is great - Nathanaël Clair is an awesome combo. As for the girls, I love Cora, Cecily, Élisabeth "Elsa", and Léonie; Ada, Sophie, and Katherine "Kate" are pretty too.
