Robin Arthur - I don't normally like mixing my Os and Us (it looks odd to me), but this combo appeals to me. It's like a... rebel king.Nicholas Evander - I think Evander was one of the middles I used to pair with Nicholas in the past. Solid combo.Peter Emrys - Don't normally like Peter, but the flow of this one is good.Nathaniel Simon - Another solid combo. Biblical, but not boring.Victor Amadeus - Definitely sounds like a composer, or someone who commissioned a composer while wearing lots of brocade. It's very cold to me, though - the "ict" in Victor / Victoria has never won me over (Hector can also join this group).Jasper Roderick Reuel - I get the honoring, but this whole combo is very R-heavy, especially with the end of Jasper running into Roderick like that.Ezra Cadfael - Now this is interesting! I can't recall seeing Cadfael on one of these lists before. It's a genre mix that works.Constantine Silvanus - While Victor up there is clad in brocade, Gus over here is sporting a toga. This is the most OTT combo here.Dominic Moriel - Love Dominic, but can't say the same for Moriel. I usually pair Dominic with middles that begin with a vowel, I think it flows better that way.Ivo Taliesin - I like seeing Taliesin here, but can never remember if Ivo is supposed to be EE-voh or IE-voh. Don't know if I like either pronunciation, to be honest.Gwendolyn Alice - It looks like Gwen- names are on the upswing, and I don't mind at all. Alice complements Gwendolyn well.Vidia Eden - "Video [of] Eden"? Can't say I like this one at all, I'm sorry.Lydia Andraste - It's so weird seeing Andraste outside of Dragon Age! Are you using the ahn-DRAHS-tay pronunciation? In any case, this combo flows well and is exciting.Eleanor Vera - Vera is an interesting choice as a middle here, I like it. (And of course, Eleanor is in my Top 10 as well.)Katarina Saoirse - Very much a mix not only of genres, but cultures. I've said it aloud a few times and I'm not sure the flow of "REE-nuh SEER-shuh" is all that easy. I like both names individually, but not together, sorry.
