Thank you for all the feedback!

@namelover77: Thanks for all the suggestions! I love Cora Bronte! So sleek and sophisticated. I also am really liking Bronte Camille.

@lucialucentum: I...

I love Cosette! I love Les Miz too and I think the association is cool.

I am looking for names that go well with Bronte and was hoping for some Berry feedback!

Bronte Lilac
Bronte Pearl
Bronte Belle
Bronte Samara
Bronte Yelena
Bronte Eloise

Azalea Bronte

I love Ruby Alice! Fellow New Englander here and I second the idea that the name is not heard much around here. Hazel is also a very lovely name -- tough choice! Hazel Ruby could work though, if...

Laurel
Eliana
Mirabelle

Thank you for all the feedback so far! Any other Berries want to weigh in?

Do these combos do anything to soften Bronte or make it less pretentious?

Bronte Lilac
Bronte Pearl
Bronte Belle...

I really like the name Portia! It sounds elegant and I love the Shakespeare reference. I have a rare name that it seems should still be familiar to people but many have not heard of it or do not...

I agree with the previous poster that Elise Smith is hard to say. What about Elisa? It would flow better, you could use Elise as a nickname and it would be easier to find middles for.

As a middle name, Ivory is a beautiful, rare choice. I love it! I agree with you that it sound kind of homey, but in an elegant way. For some reason, it has the expensive & hunting connotations...

1. Arabella, Thaddeus, Jeremiah, Clementine
2. Catherine, Edward, Ronald, Elizabeth
3. Florence, Lucille, Eleanor, Adelaide
4. Louisa, Genevieve, Marcella, Antonia
5. Mackenzie, Reagan, Torrance,...

That is a good perspective, taz. Thanks for your input! I see what you mean about how literary names can come across as pretentious. I guess that could also depend on what the siblings were named....

Ooh, those are really cool! I don't know that I would use Chandler or Everett on girls, but they are still very intriguing and fun! Merritt is really lovely.

I really like this name and I am thinking of adding it to my list, but I would like to hear opinions about it! Do you like the name, love it, dislike it? What kind of girl do you picture with this...

Thanks for all the perspectives! The more I think about it, the more inclined I am to use it as middle rather than as a first. I really am liking the name though!

I think Hailey is a really beautiful and sweet name and if you love it you should definitely go for it! Concerning popularity, I think that the name is decreasing in popularity but still not so far...

What do you think of it? I think it has a neat sound and also a cool meaning as a word name! What kind of a boy/man do you picture having this name?

Thanks! :)

Mercer does not sound appealing to me. I don't have a specific negative association. I guess it makes me think of "mercenary" and "merciless" or something like that.

These combos are all beautiful! Regarding your dilemma with the Adelaide Dahlia Quinn combo, here are some alternative ideas:
-- I think part of the problem is that the two "d" sounds right in a...

Hmm...
Well, you could use a -lyn -lynn name such as Violet Madelynn/Madeline, Violet Adelyn, or Violet Carolyn.

Also, longer names beginning with the "lynn" sound might flow a little better than...

Ideas for honoring her grandparents:

Maybe you could use inspiration from one of the grandparents on the paternal side and one on the paternal side? Idk which names are paternal/maternal, but...

I think Ofelia is very pretty and I prefer it to Ophelia.

Silas Cora
Sawyer Ofelia
Felix Ruby
Merit Eleanor
Asher Florence
Asher Maxine

Oh, this is a cool idea!

Girls:
Riley
Jordan
Bailey
Taylor
Reese
Ashley
Sky

I would not have picked this name off a list as something I would like, but the more I think about it, the more stunningly beautiful it is. It does not sound made up to me at all. Very historic and...

Congratulations!

Hazel- I love Hazel but if the bad associations are too strong for you, maybe it isn't a good idea.
Imogen- Nice name.
Elena- I know someone who spells her name this way and...
