Re: Thoughts On My Top Ten?
in reply to a message by igoesrawrOMG
*David *Walter - my favorite of your boy combos. Can't go wrong with two classic family names.
Gerard *Castle - sounds like an actual place!
Madison *Ross - much as I want to reclaim male names...this one would be gutsy
Dexter Ivan - Dexter is more of a pet name in my book, I like the combo though.
*Henry *Ross - sounds so historical/presidential
Thomas *Castle - I like it for the same reasons I like Elisabeth Story below...classic name paired with interesting word name.
Loren *Ross - Fits right in with all the (US) names given 3 generations ago. I think Loren has more going for it than some other male names pilfered by girls. It ends in N
Bailey *Arthur - would prefer Arthur Bailey...but Bailey is definitely still in the "reclaimable zone"
Klaas *Allen - don't see any reason to use this form of the name unless you have very strong Dutch heritage, in which case it'd be very cool.
Alice Lorraine - I like both names; together they remind me of Alsace Lorraine
Vivian Estella - very 20s
Elisabeth Story - I like the flow of this; the long, classic Elisabeth set off by a simple, evocative word name.
Nova Carys - both pretty names, but as a combo there's too much novelty going on IMO.
Amabel Gertrude - I have never until now thought about how fantastic Amabel is! It is kind of confusing because of how close it sounds to Annabelle, though.
Dahlia Jean - lovely!!
Ariadne Anastasia - too much going on here for me.
Theodora Millicent - sophisticated, a bit upper-crusty
Julia Lorraine - my favorite. Julia is beautiful, classic, & versatile; paired with Lorraine it sounds wonderful, and the fact that it's a family name puts it right up at the top!
