A sibling for Rohan and Silas

Name Advice
1

Hi berries, awaiting a new sibling in Sept and need some more name suggestions!

Our last name rhymes with “Potter.” Family heritage is Welsh/scottish, [name_m]English[/name_m], [name_m]German[/name_m]. We also like Sanskrit/Persian names, non-Greek mythological names, nature names and names from literature. Avoiding Hebrew names (no background). They also have cousins named [name_f]Morgan[/name_f] and [name_m]Leon[/name_m] (so avoiding similar sounding names).

Some names on our list so far are [name_m]Hugh[/name_m], [name_m]Helo[/name_m], [name_m]Aslan[/name_m], and [name_m]Orson[/name_m] for a boy; [name_f]Aruna[/name_f], [name_f]Noa[/name_f], [name_f]Lenya[/name_f] and [name_f]Anthea[/name_f] for a girl. [name_f]Ideal[/name_f] name is not hard to spell or pronounce. Thanks for your ideas!

I’ve been really crushing on [name_f]Anthea[/name_f] recently and like her a lot for this sibset since she continues the subtle nature names - [name_m]Rohan[/name_m] (rowan), [name_m]Silas[/name_m] (of the forest), [name_f]Anthea[/name_f] (flower). [name_m]Orson[/name_m] (bear) also fits this so nicely!

I also like ~

[name_m]Arthur[/name_m] (Celtic - bear)
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m] (Irish - deer lover)

[name_m]Jasper[/name_m] or [name_m]Caspar[/name_m] (Persian - treasure bringer)
[name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] (Persian - sun)
[name_m]Rupin[/name_m] (Sanskrit - handsome)
[name_m]Macsen[/name_m] (Welsh - greatest)
[name_m]Tarian[/name_m] (Welsh - shield)
[name_m]Alwin[/name_m] or [name_m]Alvin[/name_m] (German - noble friend, elf friend)
[name_m]Ansel[/name_m] (German - divine protection)
[name_m]Archie[/name_m] (German - truly brave)
[name_m]Bruno[/name_m] (German - brown)
[name_m]Conrad[/name_m] (German - brave counsel)
[name_m]Everett[/name_m] (English and [name_m]German[/name_m] - brave as a boar)
[name_m]Ivo[/name_m] (German - yew)
[name_m]Adair[/name_m] (English - fortune, spear)
[name_m]Errol[/name_m] (Scottish - meaning unknown, perhaps eastern boundary)

[name_f]Opal[/name_f] (Sanskrit - gem)
[name_f]Arya[/name_f] (Sanskrit - noble)
[name_f]Indira[/name_f] (Sanskrit - beauty)
[name_f]Azora[/name_f] (Persian - sky blue)

[name_f]Freda[/name_f] (German - peace)
[name_f]Ida[/name_f] (German - industrious)

I love the names [name_m]Rohan[/name_m] & [name_m]Silas[/name_m]!

Of your lists, I like [name_m]Orson[/name_m] & [name_m]Hugh[/name_m] best. I love how with [name_m]Orson[/name_m], you can use [name_m]Sonny[/name_m] or [name_m]Bear[/name_m] as nicknames. [name_m]Hugh[/name_m] is an immediately likeable and trustworthy name!

I like [name_m]Aslan[/name_m] - which is almost a smoosh of [name_m]Rohan[/name_m] and [name_m]Silas[/name_m] - but there is some teasing potential there. I also think [name_m]Helo[/name_m] might get teased as Hello, [name_f]Halo[/name_f], Hell-no, Helicopter etc. He wouldn’t have as smooth a ride with his name as his brothers.

I don’t mind [name_f]Lenya[/name_f] - I’m just not massively keen on “ya” ending names (Tanya, [name_f]Sonia[/name_f] etc) and it might be less flowy with your last name?

I quite like [name_f]Aruna[/name_f], just a little turned off as I know one and she gets “Runes” for short, I guess Ru could be a sweeter nickname. [name_f]Noa[/name_f] reads distinctly Hebrew to me (at least without knowing more).

I am somewhat drawn to [name_f]Anthea[/name_f] but prefer the similar [name_f]Athena[/name_f], [name_f]Ianthe[/name_f], [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] or [name_f]Anwen[/name_f]. [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] & [name_f]Athena[/name_f] would sound epic with your boys’ names.

Some other names (keeping everyone with own starting letter)

[name_f]Indira[/name_f]
[name_f]Ffion[/name_f]
[name_f]Amaya[/name_f]
[name_f]Eira[/name_f]

Congratulations!

Firstly just have to say I really like R0han + Sil@s such lovely names. From your list of ideas I really love [name_m]Orson[/name_m] + [name_f]Anthea[/name_f]. I think [name_m]Orson[/name_m] has this stylish intelligent flair which works with your boys. I also like the majestic floral choice of [name_f]Anthea[/name_f] with your boys creating a quirky eclectic sibling set.

You’ve had lots of lovely suggestions so count any repeats as me being in agreement with the berries
