Wow, there's some lovely combos and singles here. My opinions:Ada Celeste- love it
Beatrice Anne- I like the look of Beatrice but don't like "Bea" as a nn which might inevitably be used by others. I'm liking Anne more recently, too.
Catherine Antonia (Cait)- Lovely. Sounds very "old family" to me and has style.
Audrey Emmeline- Pretty combo
Celia Elspeth- Love Celia, can't decide on Elspeth.
Clara Daphne- Pretty
Dinah Constance- I like Dinah but have known too many pets with said name to use it. Constance is nms.
Cora Edith- I like it
Etta Agnes- I like Etta
Fiona Evelyn- Like it
Elsa Fleur- I like it
Greta Heloise- it's ok
Iris Honor / Honour- I like them both separately but prefer Honora
Honora Jane- love it
Ida Jillian- like it
Ingrid Lenore- not a fan
Lucy Kate- short and sweet, very nice.

Ada Celeste: Love Ada, hate Celeste.
Beatrice Anne: I don't like Beatrice, but Anne is simple and sweet.
Catherine Antonia (Cait): I like it, but I prefer Cate.
Audrey Emmeline: Like it, but I prefer Aubrey.
Celia Elspeth: I like Elspeth, but Celia leaves me cold.
Clara Daphne: Like it.
Dinah Constance: Don't like it at all. It sounds fussy.
Cora Edith: I love Cora, but I don't like Edith.
Etta Agnes: I can't stand Etta. It sounds like the shortened version of a full name. Agnes reminds me of nuns.
Fiona Evelyn: I hate Fiona, but Evelyn is beautiful.
Elsa Fleur: Elsa sounds like a cow's name to me. Fleur reminds me of "floor."
Greta Heloise: Greta is lovely, but Heloise sounds hideous to me.
Iris Honor/Honour: I don't like Iris at all. Honor is okay, but Honora sounds more like a name to me (and you can use Nora-that's a plus).

Ada Celeste - I don't mind Ada, Celeste isn't my style though.
Beatrice Anne - I really can't stand Beatrice or Beatrix or whatever. Anne is lovely, just Beatrice never gave me a good image
Catherine Antonia (Cait) - This is lovely
Audrey Emmeline - Not a fan of Audrey, but the combo is pretty
Celia Elspeth - I like this though Elspeth isn't something I would use, it looks really nice
Clara Daphne - I'm on the edge with both names, it sounds nice though
Dinah Constance - Love Constance, Dinah isn't my style but it sounds good.
Cora Edith - This looks and sounds awkward to me for some reason, I can't place my figure on it though
Etta Agnes - Not a fan of either names, sounds rather dated
Fiona Evelyn - Very pretty even though I'm not a fan of Evelyn I love Fiona
Elsa Fleur - again pretty, I guess a lot of these names aren't my style ^_^;
Greta Heloise - Heloise is pretty, I have an aunt named Greta that completely turned me off from the name. It sounds good though

Ada Celeste -- This is pretty nice. Love Ada. Celeste is nice too, but I am not sure I love the combo. Ada Frances is my favorite combo for Ada.
Beatrice Anne -- Very nice, I think I'd prefer Anna in place of Anne.
Catherine Antonia (Cait) -- Very nice.
Audrey Emmeline -- pretty.
Celia Elspeth -- I do not care for either name.
Clara Daphne -- It's pretty good, but I don't particularly like the rhythm.
Dinah Constance -- erm.
Cora Edith -- Adain, not particularly rhythmically pleasing.
Etta Agnes -- see Cora.
Fiona Evelyn -- I do not like Evelyn at all.
Elsa Fleur -- I love Elsa, but Fleur seems a bit filler here. Elsa Magdalene, or something longer would be more balanced.
Greta Heloise -- Not bad.
Iris Honor / Honour -- Not my style.
Honora Jane -- I can't imagine a young child named Honora.
Ida Jillian -- I do not care for the combo.

I agree on Primrose.It gets so much press, and I've always hated it. It's so fussy, and how would the parents feel if they had to walk into a class full of Sophias, Elizabeths, and Avas and say, "Hi, I'm Primrose."? Probably not very good.

Thats why it works great as a mn...and besides that it isn't much different than naming your child Lily, Rose, Violet, or Iris in my eyes and in today's world, those names are VERY popular.

How about Magnolia?I like that much more than Primrose, but then I'd like just about anything else more than Primrose including Kaylee.
vote up1
What? You favor the ersatz and insubstantial Kaylee over Primrose?I'm baffled.
vote up1
I totally abhor Primrose. Yes, I prefer Kaylee to Primrose.

Magnolia is fine, and it even has great nicknames like Nola, Maggie, Nell, and Lia. It isn't mainstream but that doesn't mean it is bad, just as is the case with Primrose.

The child would probably feel fine. It's a legitimate name and it hasn't got bad meaning or anything. Fair enough if it isn't your style.

primroseI never used to like it, but I put it in combos because of this guy:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_PrimroseNow I like it. I think it adds a very fun "impractical and prissy" element to combos, which you might be looking for just to achieve a particular flavor and not to name kids it
