Old Hollywood names!!! Help pleasee

[seraphine-rose]

Hey nameberries! I am a complete old-timey, hollywood lover who idolizes Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, ginger Rogers, Elizabeth Taylor etc. etc. and I want all my children to have some linkage so here our my ideas and I would love your thoughts and suggestions

Scarlett Marlena Grace
Vivienne Audrey Lucille
Edda Marilyn Blair
Grant Gable

Scarlett is for Scarlett O'Hara
Marlena is for Marlene Dietrich
Grace is for Grace Kelly

Vivienne is for Vivien Liegh who played Scarlett
Audrey is for Audrey Hepburn
Lucille is for Lucille Ball

Edda is Audrey Hepburn's aliases because in Europe she had to go by Edda however I'm not sure if this really fits in? I need help with this one
Marilyn is for Marilyn Monroe
Blair is for Blair waldorf
Grant is for Cary grant
And gable is for clark gable
I could really use your opinions and advice everyone! Thank you

I like Vivienne, Scarlett, and Grant.

[ashthedreamer]

Love them! I especially love Grant as a FN, and Scarlett and Vivienne work together perfectly. I like the idea of Edda, but I agree--it is a bit out-of-style with the other FNs. I don't think it's too bad, though.

Good luck!

what about
Clark (gable)
Myrna (loy)
Ramon (navarro)
Lionel (barrymore - though he's not a great name sake)
Wallace Berry (same problem with Barrymore though)
Marion (Davies)
Joan (Blondell - but that name is sort of dated in a bad way but she's a beautiful namesake)
Norma (Shearer)
Constance (Bennet)
Miriam (Hopkins)
Jean Harlow
Greta (Garbo)

James (Cagney)
Charlie (Chaplin)
Spencer (tracy)

Love Scarlett Marlena Grace and Grant Gable! What about Lucille Marilyn Blaire? Also love Ingrid and Greta!

[taz]

I love old Hollywood stuff. My favorites are Lana & Veronica for Lana Turner and Veronica Lake...Lake is actually pretty too!

Scarlett- Very pretty
Marlena- I prefer Marlene or Marla...or even Marnie like the Hitchcock movie with Tippi Hedron
Grace- Really kind of boring to me. Especially as a mn. It doesn't conjure images of Grace Kelly to me. It's too common and sounds like 'grease'. I would prefer Kelly to honor Grace Kelly...it feels more unexpected nowadays. Or Margot or Lisa for her Hitchcock characters.
Vivienne- I love this, but prefer the more down-to-earth spelling Vivian
Audrey- I love Audrey Hepburn and I love Audrey Horn (character from Twin Peaks) and Audrey Tautou (or whatever Amelie's name is!), but I don't love the name Audrey, really, just cause the sound isn't pretty imo.
Lucille- I love this name...I love Lucy, I love all names that can be nn Lou
Edda- I prefer Etta, but I like this quite a bit as well. I like that it's a less literal way to reference Audrey Hepburn.
Marilyn- I would love to hear this as a fn on a young girl. I'm shocked that I've never met a young Marilyn..maybe I'll have to have another daughter so I can use it!
Blair- I don't really like this one. Very 80's preppy rich girl to me and not a pretty sound. I think blare..like blaring loud.
Grant Gable- I really dislike this pairing. The alliteration and it's a really literal way to honor old Hollywood. and masculine sounding. Grant makes me think of Cary, but also of Amy...And Gable could make a cute fn for a boy with nn Gabe, but it would remind me of Anne of Green Gables if it wasn't paired with Grant.
