Another game!

Post of list of your five favorite combos for each gender (if you don't have five, just make some up).
Look on the 2007 SSA list (http://www.ssa.gov/cgi-bin/popularnames.cgi) and see where each name in the combo ranks.
I'll give you a year. Go see where the ranking would fall on those new lists.
Let's see what combos we can come up with!

Use these years:
Girls Combos
#1 = 1954
#2 = 1911
#3 = 1945
#4 = 1922
#5 = 1971

Boys Combos
#1 = 1908
#2 = 1966
#3 = 1989
#4 = 1996
#5 = 1950

Here's mine:
Madeline Amelia (61, 77) = Virginia Ellen
Elizabeth Audrey (10, 51) = Frances Bernice
Julia Catherine (34, 143) = Frances Audrey
Charlotte Ruby (102, 116) = Elaine Christine
Vivian Rebecca (210, 105) = Rose Alicia


Benjamin Colin (26, 119) = Roy Max
Julian Henry (66, 91) = Lawrence Jay
Oliver Matthew (140, 9) = Angel James
Josiah Timothy (106, 100) = Cole Victor
Ezra Theodore (301, 342) = Jerald Rene


I like Virginia Ellen. My last three girls would sound better flipped (Audrey Frances, Christine Elaine and Alicia Rose).  The boys names all stink.

*Since some of my names are not listed, I'll just keep them the same:

Claire Isadora (66, not listed) = Ruth Isadora
Eve Shiloh (618, 804) = Dena Lavada
Juliet Leah (516, 68) = Cecile Suzanne
Amelia Vivienne (77, 210--if I go with Vivian as an alternate spelling) = Wilma Faye
Adrienne Calliope (751, not listed) = Faye Calliope

James Zachariah (15, 444) = Albert Lacy
Felix Grey (379, 418) = Brandon Rusty
Dietrich Aaron (not listed, 52) = Dietrich Gregory
Isaac Benjamin (41, 26) = Jason Kevin
Vincent Christian (110, 22) = Bernard Edward

Well, I thought it was pretty funny that I ended up with Faye twice in different years at different rankings. Cecile is nice but way too close to my middle name (Cecelia). Jason Kevin has the worst flow. Dietrich Gregory is fairly nice but feels like cheating because I didn't have to change Dietrich.

[lind-saay.livejournal.com]

I think it's funny that Grey ended up being another sort-of color related name, haha.

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

Fun! I slightly modified my top names, because there were quite a few that weren't in the top 2000, which is generally a good thing but not in this game ;) So here we go:

Maeve Anna (619, 25) = Jannie Janice (lol!)
April Leah (310, 68) = Pearlie Lois
Mia Helena (15, 535) = Margaret Zelma
Ariel Faye (188, -) = Regina Faye
Neve Audrey (-, 51) = Neve Robin

Adam Nathaniel (65, 82) = Oscar Harvey
Joseph Ira (13, -) = Steven Ira
Simon Alistair (285, -) = Stanley Alistair
Roman Elliot (207, 359) = Raul Kendall
Jack Eli (38, 130) = Patrick Jon

Haha, Janice Jannie is hilarious. I really like Lois, but Pearlie...not so much.
I think the names where I used my own names because they weren't in the top 2000 turned out really pretty (Neve Robin & Regina Faye).
I don't like any of the boy names...except for maybe Raul.

[bandnerd88.livejournal.com]

Colette Antonia Marie (-, 996, 560) = Deidre Lela
Bianca Helen Estelle (176, 348, -) = Freda Nadine
Naomi Diana Valentine (124, 107, -) = Lillian Loretta
Mary Jasmine Elise "Molly" (93, 32, 225) = Lucy Thelma Annette
Rita Felicity Noelle (-, 706, 503) = Rosanna Danette

Rowan Leopold Allan (366, -, 519) = Basil Miguel
Frederick John Waldo (529, 19, -) Ramiro Daniel
Linus Taylor Joel (-, 249, 123) Jerome Dennis
Nicodemus Jude (-, 297) Brennan
Solomon Tobias (456, 475) = Alphonso Colin

Ugh. This is what I get for tending toward more uncommon names. I got a couple individually nice names, but other than that....

[lavandersparkle.livejournal.com]

Lily Jade (27, 113) = Carolyn Charlotte
Adrienne Elizabeth (751, 10) = Queenie Frances [LOL 8D]
Talia Juliet (392, 516) = Lenora Cecile
Vivian Cassandra (210, 260) = Faye Nadine
Leila Rose (249, 351) = Sonja Lana [LAWLZ]

Simon James (258, 15) = Aubrey Albert [BAHAHA]
Aiden Christopher (27, 6) = William Donald
Elliott Liam (389, 89) = Shannon Victor [My mom's name is Shannon. xD]
Quinn Gabriel (265, 28) = Arturo Thomas
Wyatt Spencer (69, 174) = Russell Karl

OMG! That is hilarious.

[lavandersparkle.livejournal.com]

I want to do that with my 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10th favourite combos cause I like this game so much. xD

Kendra Violet (202, 231) = EMMA VERA.
Elena Scarlett (192, 219) = JEANETTE ELOISE.
Charlotte Felicity (102, 707) = LYNN CARMELLA.
Sofia Josephine (35, 224) = LOIS MAY.
Deanna Camille (549, 475) = LATONIA LEE. (Bleh)

Travis Joseph (169, 13) = CALVIN WILLIE.
Silas Gordon (346, 989) = TRACEY RENARD.
Daniel Beckett (5, 667) = DAVID KEATON.
Brennan Casey (284, 326) = QUENTIN TUCKER.
Caleb Maddox (36, 226) = ANTHONY NELSON.

The boys names stink out loud. >.< But I really like Lois May and Lynn Carmella. But I wouldn't use them.

[autophoblamb.livejournal.com]

They're in no particular order as to my favorites, and they may not sound good together because I just took a few of my favorites and paired them on the spot.

Vera Eloise (NA, NA) Vera Eloise
Eve Estelle (618, NA) Dena Estelle
Jeanette Rose (NA, 351) Jeanette Roseann
Clara Lucille (228, 759) Jazmine Xena
Alice Marie (346, 560) Shana Corina

Bernard Peter (943, 178) Weston Elbert
Henry Thomas (91, 51) Jay Fred
Lionel Edward (NA, 145) Lionel Brendan
Benjamin Clifford (26, NA) Kevin Clifford
Barrett Robert (656, 47) Royal Henry

So most of mine were not on the list, sorry.

[katie-oo7.livejournal.com]

Tallulah Elizabeth (not listed, 20): Tallulah Grace
Miranda Adrienne (not listed, 754): Miranda Marianna
Juliet Teresa (969, 171): Kelis Skylar
Stella Camille (88, 561): Stephanie Jaidyn
Nina Margaret (317, 86): Aurora Isabel

Sam Cornelius (46, 223): Luke Gregory
Benjamin Elliot (130, 665): Eli Layne
Leo Sebastian (455, 412): Terry Javon
Noah Geoffrey (50, 503): Cameron Kenny
Martin Wyatt (85, 976): Dominic Fletcher

Luke Gregory and Dominic Fletcher aren't too bad. Aurora Isabel isn't my style, but it's very pretty.

I <3 this game!

[freezemyazaleas.livejournal.com]

A lot of mine weren't in the top 1000, so this isn't my real top five. For example, my real top 2 are Leslie Blair and Linda Berkeley (matching initials unintended) but Blair and Berkeley aren't listed so I combined them.

Leslie Linda - 127, 496 - Julia Fay (Funny, Julia Fay sounds so modern, whereas Leslie Linda sounds like it should be from 1954!)
Allison Carey (Carrie is listed) - 46, 988 - Eva Delpha
Janna Shea (Jana is listed) - 677, 927 - Belva Rene (Eww, Belva? That reminds me of "Mulva" from Seinfeld.)
Kaylen Tara - 849, 539 - Lennie Theodora
Stacey Kelly (Stacy is listed) - 693, 222 - Lillie Norma

Luke Brian - 46, 81 - Sam Tom lol
Jason Elliott - 59, 389 - Wayne Alonzo
Bradley Garrett - 194, 162 - Darius Randall
Kyle Peter - 86, 178 - Isaac Fernando
Taylor Wesley - 249, 195 - Lance Sidney

I never noticed how the boy names I like are so much more popular than the girl names.

Re: I <3 this game!

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

Julia Fay is so pretty!

And I agree with you on Belva =\ What kind of name is that?!

Re: I <3 this game!

[cremepuff.livejournal.com]

"I never noticed how the boy names I like are so much more popular than the girl names."

Same here! Most of my boys' names were in the top 50, if not the top 20, but my favorite girls' names were nearly all lower than 100!

[soph-posh.livejournal.com]

Timothy Leon (100,496) = Virgil Josh
Finley James (794,15) = Rhett Joseph
Silas Vincent (346,110) = Tyson Gabriel
Cedric Levi (590,132) = Shelby Francisco
Damian Elias (137,173) = Duane Rickey

Lia Naomi (529,124) = Marva Dawn
Mia Anais (15,906) = Ethel Dell
Ruby Claire (116,66) = Georgia Sue
Lily Ciara (because Chiara isn’t on the list) (27,258) = Josephine Angela
Zoe Sophia (56,6) = April Angela

Fun game! I had to change quite a lot of my names/combos though....I don't like any of the new names, but Virgil Josh, Shelby Francisco and Duane Rickey made me laugh...

[lind-saay.livejournal.com]

Thatcher Michael (not listed, 2) = Thatcher William*
Samuel Peter (25, 178) = Eric Lonnie
Frederick Carver (531, not listed) = Gerard Carver*
Isaac William (41, 8) = Jason Brandon
Levi Ryan (132, 16) = Juan Steven

Juliet Adrienne (516, 751) = Maryellen Jacquline
Eliza Anne (334, 517) = Wilhelmina Lovie
Amelia Margaret (77, 173) = Laura Ida
Louisa Janet (not listed, 660) = Louisa Leonora*
Lena Rose (453, 351) = Allyson Lana

*Thatcher, Carver, and Louisa aren't listed, so I didn't change them.

[xx-imagination.livejournal.com]

Some of my names were unlisted, so I just went with the closest name that did make the list.

Kalina Marie (Kali is 486, 560) = Elena Lela
Lucille Nicole (769, 87) = Gail Marguerite
Anabelle Rae (733, Raegan is 397) = Daphne Karla
Jocelyn Alice (50, 346) = Emma Guadalupe
Marilyn Cassandra (520, 260) = Marney Audrey

Zachary James (42, 15) = Eugene Albert
Benjamin Kyle (26, 86) = Stephen Philip
Nathan Oliver (24, 140) = Brian Angel
Geoffrey Edward (Jeffrey is 90, 145) = Tanner Manuel
Nicholas Tyler (20, 21) = George Daniel

Gail Marguerite has a nice flow, but I don't like the names. Elena Lela is a mouthful. Stephen Philip is nice enough, but I can't stand the repeated F sound. I think I'll stick to my originals!

[pythianlegume7.livejournal.com]

Girls Combos
Katerina Elizabeth (x, 10) = Katerina Cynthia
Juliet Susannah (516, x) = Juliet Winnifred
Margaret Victoria (173, 29) = Ida Vera
Ivy Caroline (302, 99) = Cornelia Mabel
Laura Charlotte (183, 102) = Peggy Valerie

Boys Combos
Oliver Nicholas (140, 20) = Rudolph Fred
Calvin Jeremiah (230, 67) = Oscar Steve
Caleb Henry (36, 91) = Charles Caleb (Thats weird)
Samuel Arthur (25, 374) = Kyle Tristin
Morgan Thomas (405, 51) = Ernesto Roy

I actually really like Juliet Winnifred (wld prefer Winifred) and Cornelia Mabel for the girls. I would like Oscar Stephen for the boys but I don't like just the nn Steve as a middle name, and Kyle Tristan would not be bad but I don't like the Tristin spelling.

[pythianlegume7.livejournal.com]

Man, I'm an idiot, it should be Winnifred Susannah, which I still kind of like if it was Winifred Susannah.

[rorylareina.livejournal.com]

Julia Helen (34, 348) = Teresa Minnie
Eva Madeline (117, 61) = Flora Willie
Georgia Isabel (296, 86) = Guadalupe Maria

Miriam Ryan (303, 457) = Christi Gayle (bleh.)

Ezra Charles (342, 62) = Miles Jesse (I kind of like this.)
Nathan Vaughn (24, 737) = Ronald Lesley
Isaac Elliot (41, 359) = Travis Jarvis (this is just unfortunate.)
Clark Andrew (628, 10) = Nathanial Andrew (same ranking for Andrew...)
Joel Patrick (123, 116) = Benjamin Darrell

[how-obscure.livejournal.com]

I don't have favorite combos so I just threw some together.

Persephone Jane (NA, 426) Persephone Frankie
Charlotte Lucy (102, 135) Hilda Lottie

Willow Daphne (430, 585) Marianne Blanch
Lydia Pearl (123, NA) Sherri Pearl

Rupert Felix (NA, 379) Rupert Brandon
Harrison Lane (225, 317) Darrell Landon
Roger Clark (467, 628) Tylor Nathanial
Tiernan James (NA, 15) Tiernan Kenneth

Yuck. I honestly don't like any of the resulting combos.

[cremepuff.livejournal.com]

At least they're not laughable like most of my resulting combos were...

[laminy.livejournal.com]

Ruby Evangeline (116, 459) = Georgia Eddie
Lucy Cassandra (135, 260) = Fannie Nadine

Sage Levi (719, 132) = Davis Jesse
Nathaniel Rhys (82, 809) = Donald Kenton
Jude Grey (297, not listed) = Brennan Grey

Hazael Omar(-,131)=Hazael Reginald
Kieran James(571,15)=Reynaldo William
Ryan Jude(16,297)=Anthony Brennan
Joseph Alexander(13,11)=Joseph Larry

The only one I liked was Ruby Maricela. Ida Mae is cute, but I wouldn't use it.

[cremepuff.livejournal.com]

Most are just my favorite first names mish-mashed together, since I don't have many set 'combos.' For ones I like that aren't on the popular list, I used the next closest variant (Georgia's ranking for Georgina, for example). And also, wow, I must really love names with the letter 'N' in them!

Fiona Catherine (352, 143) = Molly Geraldine (ew on Geraldine)
Jocelyn Elena (50, 192) = Myrtle Jeannette (ew on Myrtle)
Rhiannon Elisabeth (944, 512) = Karren Sherrill (EW ON THE WHOLE THING)
Georgina Audrey (296, 51) = Myra Sarah (this is ridiculous)
Bianca Noreen (176, 242) = Charlotte Bobbie (like Ricky Bobbie?)

Well, that was...nauseating. Let's see if I have better luck with the boys!

Marek Andrew (138, 10) = Otto Thomas (Hmmm.)
Connor James (55, 15) = Chris Joseph (plain, I prefer Christopher)
John Everett (19, 380) = Kevin Josiah (could be worse)
Nathan Eli (24, 130) = Christian Cristian (what are the odds???)
Levi Alexander (132, 11) = Juan Larry (BAHAHAHA!)

Wow...these are all...special. :) That was a fun game! I'm gonna ask my husband if we can name our firstborn son Juan Larry, just to see what sort of face he makes!

[heatherpantss.livejournal.com]

Lily Rose (27, 351) = Carolyn Lora
Amelie Quinn (758, 579) = Elmira Valerie
Anna Jane (25, 426) = Joan Kantharine

Eli Sebastian (130, 72) = Benjamin Jeff
Quinn Alexander (265, 11) = Ernest Joseph
James Henry (15, 91) = John Miguel
Jonathan Dean (23, 353) = Mark Alonzo

The only combo I'm somewhat fond of is Victor Isaac.

[nothingtolose19.livejournal.com]

Yay, a game! :) I don't really have any combos picked out (except for Benjamin James) so I'll choose some names that I like that I think would sound okay with my top names.

Benjamin James (26, 15) = Roy Albert
Nathaniel Owen (82, 56) = Bobby Carl (lol).
Jonas Oliver (331, 140) = Angelo Angel (hahahahaha!)
Rory Noah (826, 14) = Alexandro Zachary
Lucas Hunter (53, 57) = Philip Billy

Alexandra Willow (49, 430) = Jane Erma
Katherine Elise (39, 225) = Agnes Rosalie
Lucy Elaina (135, 431) = Sara Harriett
Carolina Rose (327, 351) = Letha Aline
Evelyn Summer (55, 158) = Carrie Penny

I REALLY don't like Erma, Agnes, or Harriett. For some odd reason... I kinda LIKE Letha Aline lol.

[heartofasnail.livejournal.com]

Girls Combos

Modified a bit so that they'd all make top 1k:

I kind of like Charles Duane and Carmen Christine. Caleb, Thomas, and Roxie are nice, but Dallas Thomas, Caleb Isiah, and Roxie Beryl are awful.
