Name Combo Game Redux!

[hermione-vader.livejournal.com]

A few months ago, we played The Name Combo Game, and I was just wondering if anyone wanted to try it again.  A lot of you probably know how it works, but for anyone who came in after Spotlight week:

You list a set of first names and a set of middle names, and other commenters pair them together, like this:

Firsts:
Ryan
August
Jake
Ellis
Noah

Middle:
Stephen
Lucas
Henry
Brady
Victor

Someone might suggest Ryan Henry, Ellis Brady, August Victor, etc., and say "I prefer Jacob to Jake, what do you think of the spelling Lukas?", etc.

Have fun!

Brendan Alexander, Elliott Rhys, & Zachary David are on our list.
I love most of these, although Ethan Samuel's initials would be ESE, not good in an area with a high Hispanic population.

I wish I didn't know a Brandon whose surname is Joseph. I really like the combo Brandon Joseph. Gavin James is another combo I really love, but the boy doesn't like the initials GJ... he says they remind him of GI Joe.

My cousin had a son last year named Colin Michael. I think it's a cute combination.

Oh wow Milo! I can't help but think Milo Gervais, one of many names I had nixed long ago. I pronounce it ME-low instead of MY-low though. Don't know how you pronounce it. Moving on.

Landon Killian
Ethan Alastair
Ian Rhys
Milo Gabriel (My-low)
Landon Michael
Noah Joseph
Declan Michael Rhys
Ethan Nicholas
Bradley Lucas
Conor James

I do pronounce it MY-low. It's one of the few male Italian names that I like (my dad is Italian). Boyfriend and I both think of Milo Ventimiglia (Heroes and Gilmore Girls). I've never heard of Milo Gervais and Google is not enlightening me.

Milo Gervais isn't a celebrity or anything. It's a name I had on my name list while I was pregnant, that was rejected by everybody but me.

Milo Ventimiglia was where I got the name from too! I heard his name pronounced as ME-low, first time I've heard it as anything but My-low. I thought it was great. I was all alone in that though. Just wasn't meant to be.

You put together some of my favorite combos out of the ones I've had to nix! For example, Charles Clark is my best friend's dad's name and as much as I love the combo, it'd be weird. Gavin Rhys would give him the same initials as the Graduate Record Exam. Brendan Clark would give him the same initials as Before the Common Era. So on...

I am definitely jotting down a few to throw around with the boyfriend.
