A sibling for Martha and Morris

LostMargaret · October 10, 2022, 3:06am

…I’m pregnant!

I have a daughter named [name_f]Martha[/name_f] and a son named [name_m]Morris[/name_m], both family names. We don’t have a family first in mind for this baby, though we would like to use the middle name [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] for a girl and [name_u]Benjamin[/name_u] or [name_m]Peter[/name_m] as a middle for a boy.

I’d describe my name style as undiscovered vintage with cozy, humble vibes. It’s a bit of a hard needle to thread, because while I like vintage I don’t like anything too twee.

I feel like [name_f]Martha[/name_f] and [name_m]Morris[/name_m] are a really matched set, and I’m open to a kind of wild card third name choice. Maybe a name that’s not quite as uncommon, maybe something that’s a little more of a pop of color, so to speak?

I’d love to hear your suggestions for cozy-sounding names that go with siblings [name_f]Martha[/name_f] and [name_m]Morris[/name_m]! Oh, and PS to say: I’d prefer not to have another M initial

I thought of [name_f]Glenda[/name_f] and [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] immediately! I think [name_f]Glenda[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] or [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] [name_u]Benjamin[/name_u] sound quite nice with [name_f]Martha[/name_f] and [name_m]Morris[/name_m].

Best of luck to you!

I like [name_f]Willa[/name_f] and [name_m]Otis[/name_m] for the vibe, but maybe too similar sounding to [name_f]Martha[/name_f] and [name_m]Morris[/name_m]! I also like the idea of a name with an -s ending for a girl, to link her name to the name [name_m]Morris[/name_m] rather than a more predictable link to [name_f]Martha[/name_f] with an a-sounding name. But, on the other hand, names with -a endings sound great with [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] as the middle name too! (Love the name Margaret!)
