Name:
CharlotteCharlotte Pearl is okay, but
Charlotte Winifred is miles better, in my opinion. I don't feel like
Charlotte and
Wren go well together, nor
Lark, and I dislike both the second syllable of
Charlotte and
Lark starting with the same sound. Something is off balance with
Charlotte Elise.
Verdict:
Charlotte Winifred
Name:
JuniperI feel like
Juniper Elise runs together a bit.
Juniper Pearl is
Joon's first and last name in the movie
Benny &
Joon. I love the movie, but I don't know that I would use that combo. Plus, the ---per
Pearl thing. The rhythm of
Juniper Winifred is good, but the names vibe so differently to me.
Juniper and
Wren have similar vibes, but they run together a bit for me as well (Juna purr in?). With
Juniper Lark, both are spunky and a bit quirky; however, they are both nature names.
Verdict:
Juniper Lark
Name:
EleanorEleanor Lark seems mismatched to me.
Eleanor Pearl sounds okay if said "Ella-Nor"
Pearl, but it sounds slightly odd if you pronounce it "Elli-ner"
Pearl.
Eleanor Winifred almost works but not quite.
Eleanor Wren sounds like "
Ella Norrin." I sometimes like alliteration, so I'm digging
Eleanor Elise a bit.
Verdict:
Eleanor Elise
Name:
RubyRuby Winifred kind of works.
Ruby is fun, has a bit of spunk and sparkle, but it also has a weight to it.
Winifred is light and airy but with a bit of an earthy thunk on the end. So the weight and the thunk semi-match? But the colors are all wrong. I don't know how to explain it.
Ruby Pearl doesn't sound good at all, and of course, there's the whole noun ruby-rock/precious pearl thing.
Ruby Lark and
Ruby Wren are also noun-noun/adjective-noun combos.
Ruby and
Lark could almost be siblings, but it just doesn't work in a single name.
Elise has a simple sophistication. It's well-to-do without trying too hard.
Ruby has been in use for awhile, so it's got age to it as well as modernity due to it's more recent rise in popularity.
Elise also has a classic feel but is enjoying more popularity. The vintage cred mixed with the modern approachability of both names make them go together fairly well.
Verdict:
Ruby Elise
Name:
EdithEdith and
Wren both have some brown to them and an earthiness, so they're not entirely mismatched. Although
Wren can be quirky and somewhat energetic at times,
Edith tones it down a bit.
Edith and
Pearl are both very vintage/"old lady" and work well together, but they lack pizzazz.
Lark has many of the same qualities as
Wren, but it's a bit livelier, even next to
Edith. Still, the --th La-- is kind of difficult to say. I love
Edith. I love
Winifred. I do not love the flow of them together. Whereas the alliteration in
Eleanor Elise worked for me, I find
Edith Elise a bit lispy.
Verdict:
Edith Wren
I like
Bennett pretty well. It's soft, yet masculine. I prefer it as a nickname for
Benedict, but it's okay as a full name too.
Bennett Reid sounds good, but it's also a bit surnamey.
Wyatt Jackson sounds okay, but it's not my style at all. It sounds very cowboy together, and the names are both trendy as well.
