-tuples- is another useful option -- though it gives you more combinations of your models than you ask for:

*******!
tuples  "migdummy1 migdummy2"  "fr49 fr48"  "schulart_e1 schulart_e2"
forval i = 1/`ntuples' {
di as inp  "MODEL `i':  `tuple`i''"
mlogit  munomi7  `tuple`i''
estimates save m`i', replace
}
*******!
