I’m expecting my first child, [name]Leo[/name] [name]Sebastian[/name] [name]Felix[/name], and we’re certainly going to wait for awhile after him until we have more children, but we’re already thinking of possible sibling names. Nothing we can think of really has the same feel of [name]Leo[/name] or goes with it perfectly.
[name]Do[/name] you have any suggestions of names for brothers and sisters of [name]Leo[/name]?
We have a 2yo named [name]Leo[/name] [name]Magnus[/name] and are expecting his brother in 6 weeks. His name will be [name]Alec[/name] [name]Ronan[/name].
We also tossed around [name]Ezra[/name], [name]Gideon[/name], [name]Hugo[/name] (too close to [name]Leo[/name]),[name]Gavin[/name], and [name]Malcolm[/name].
Then I pulled out “baby name wizard” book for you and they suggest the following for potential sibs for [name]Leo[/name]
[name]Lucy[/name], [name]Clara[/name], [name]Ruby[/name], [name]Lillie[/name]/[name]Lily[/name], [name]Eva[/name]
[name]Julius[/name], [name]Milo[/name], [name]Felix[/name], [name]Sam[/name], [name]Theo[/name]
For a sibling for [name]Leo[/name], you really can’t have a weak little name or a long, flourish-y name that would either be overpowered by or clash with [name]Leo[/name].

[name]Abra[/name]
[name]Blair[/name]

[name]Clara[/name]
[name]Cyra[/name]

[name]Isla[/name]
[name]Ivy[/name]
[name]Lila[/name] (if you like/don’t mind the same initial)
[name]Maeve[/name]
[name]Mina[/name]
[name]Mira[/name] (my personal favorite girls name with [name]Leo[/name])
[name]Skye[/name]
[name]Pippa[/name] (as or as not as a nickname for [name]Philippa[/name])
[name]Quinn[/name]
[name]Thora[/name]
[name]Wren[/name]
Boys:
[name]Asher[/name]
[name]Blaise[/name]
[name]Callum[/name]
[name]Caspian[/name]
[name]Eli[/name] (which may or may not be too close to [name]Leo[/name] for you)
[name]Everett[/name]
[name]Griffin[/name] (on second thought…)
[name]Holden[/name]
[name]Issac[/name]
[name]Lake[/name]
[name]Liam[/name] (as above, if you don’t mind that this name also starts with an L)
[name]Rex[/name]
[name]Rhys[/name] (my personal favorite boy name with [name]Leo[/name])
[name]River[/name]
[name]Silas[/name]
[name]Trevor[/name]
With [name]Leo[/name], I’d go for an equally short and spunky name. Someone already suggested [name]Rex[/name], which was my first thought. Another name that I think would go very well is [name]Max[/name], or [name]Dax[/name] actually. The “O” ending on [name]Leo[/name] gives it oomph and I think and “X” ending would make for a great sibling. Others are [name]Pax[/name], [name]Dex[/name] (or [name]Dexter[/name]) and [name]Knox[/name]. For a girl something spunky and vintage, like [name]Ruby[/name], [name]Ivy[/name] or [name]Ada[/name]. [name]Hope[/name] that helps!
[name]Leo[/name] [name]Sebastian[/name] [name]Felix[/name] is awesome.
I could see [name]Leo[/name] with many different styles of names - classic, vintage, exotic, unusual, popular, etc., etc. So, I guess you could say that that makes it easier to find names that could work, but harder to find names that are absolutely perfect with it. Also, I would probably be inclined to use a shorter name, though there are some longer ones ([name]Penelope[/name] and [name]Josephine[/name], for example) that I can see working…
