I adore this name!

Never did hear about it. Googling the handful of results seem to tie to Spanish, also some German. Etul as a possible masculine related form has hits in lots of different languages.

For your...

She likes currently popular but unisex/boyish, with a natury vibe (Rowan is a tree and think of Ralph Waldo Emerson) and he likes past popular feminine, but not necessarily past trendy (i.e. Nicole...

Does your last name start with a hard C sound or CH or a soft C? Canyon with a hard C might be too alliterative, although it could work. I don't love the feel of Canyon, but it does pair pretty well...

There was Hazel on 30 Rock for a while, character in her 20s or 30s. That youthifies it a bit, plus the popularity. I think it's totally usable.

I also think Hazel combines well with Josephine...

I know two little boys (more than I would expect!), one is Philip and the other is Philipp, so anything goes! Phillip and Philip both look really natural, I think it's like Catherine and Katherine...

They will, of course, have varying level of French authenticity, but you can do a NB Super Search for "contains elle."

Christelle is one that I believe is really used that I haven't seen yet.

I think Simeon and Matthias sound great together! And I think it's okay with an sh last name! Like Matthias Shaw, Matthias Schneider, it's fine. A tiny bit hissing but nothing terrible. S and sh are...

I knew someone whose first name was identical to her last and she made it work. I think personality determines a lot. Jennifer Jensen produces maybe a mild inward groan, but I think everyone would...

Valerie....

I think Hazel nn Hattie is solid :).

I definitely get more of a timeless vibe. I know tons of Natalies and two Nathalies, most are in their 20s and 30 but I do know a baby and two toddlers, so I think it's got some generation-wide...

I know sisters Natalie and Abigail and I think it's a really strong combination, and it's what first comes to mind. Also Emily and Amanda.

It is fine, but I agree Ashley kind of makes Victoria feel less timeless than it is, and the vowels bump a bit. It does have a naturey vibe totally, and I like the 4-2 rhythm : D.

Victoria Brooke...

Here's what comes to mind initially. They are all different styles so if you don't like them all maybe it is the sound. I'm sure there are more. By the way, know that TH has two sounds - most...

Damaris is a Biblical name containing Mari.
I like Pearl Lucinda, although the L's do run into each other.
Pearl Anne-Marie, Pearl Annamarie, Pearl Anne-Mary, something like that.
I also think...

Linnea nn Lili / Lily is intuitive enough, except really that they're two flowers! I think that's the block for me.
Lily Beatrice is gorgeous, I've had Lily Beatrix on my own list and I agree...

I too love Vera but it is one of those names that is hard to nn. I'm sure for some people that's part of the appeal. Vee is cute. I could maybe see Vivi with a V in the middle name? Although...

I don't think it's too strange in some respects - it's easy to read for example. I do think people will have a hard time hearing it - you might want to try it out at Starbucks and see what people...

Nicknames don't always have to make total intuitive sense. And this one makes enough sense anyway. I do think you're likelier to get a nickname to "stick" (i.e. have other people adopt it) the more...

While I agree Nora Jean pairs a bit better than Alice Jean I still prefer Alice Jean. Alice is a bit more unexpected than Nora and Ian and Alice sounds fresher to me than Ian and Nora. And I think...

I think Rose-a-lind is prettiest, but am pretty sure Roz-a-lind is much more standard. That's how it's usually pronounced in the Shakespeare play that uses it.

Marilla Vionnet - The only Marilla I've known was middle-aged, so this rings that way for me, and Vionnet would forever be misheard.

Antonia Carys - Love Antonia! Carys is unexpected with it, but...

Another Lily lover here! I agree, if it has so much meaning you absolutely can't let the popularity bother you so much. I am a Jessica of the 1980s and it's never been a problem. I also love for...

I love Antonia with either pronunciation! For yours, I think something shorter works if stress isn't on the first syllable?
