Are these names bizarre together?

General Name Discussion
1

My husband and I are TTC later this year but have been discussing names for years already.

We have extremely compatible styles (which is weird because our styles have no sense of direction).

These are our current favorites:

BOYS:

[name_u]Shea[/name_u] [name_m]Robertson[/name_m] ([name_m]Robertson[/name_m] after his father, [name_m]Robert[/name_m], not normally our style but I think put together it sounds pirate-y which I like)
[name_m]Emrys[/name_m] (Considering [name_m]Cillian[/name_m] as a middle among others)
[name_m]Callum[/name_m] (But will likely become to popular in the U.S. to use for our taste.)

Girls:

[name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] [name_f]Morwenna[/name_f] (His TOP [name_m]FAVORITE[/name_m] girl name is [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f]…extremely Greek. Extremely unusual in appearance compared to the others. Stands out to me.)
[name_f]Cyra[/name_f] [name_f]Niamh[/name_f] ([name_m]Sy[/name_m]-ra prn.)
And [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] as a GP we would consider using - we once had [name_f]Freya[/name_f] [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] as a pick but then [name_f]Freya[/name_f] also jolted in popularity in the U.S.

I think potential sibsets would sound sloppy. I don’t need it to be matchy-matchy by ANY means but I also want it to feel…okay.

Any thoughts?

Also, as always, any name recs are appreciated. Especially for boys.

I wouldn’t call them bizarre but I do think a mismatched sounding sibset might be something you could consider. I don’t think it really matters once you get down to naming an actual child though. I know heaps of sibsets where one or more child will have a classic name and the next will have a ridiculously trendy one. Your taste will change between children and that’s great!

[name_m]Artemas[/name_m]
[name_m]Caedmon[/name_m]
[name_m]Croix[/name_m]
[name_m]Leander[/name_m]
[name_m]Titus[/name_m]
[name_u]Cato[/name_u]
Aeson
[name_m]Alban[/name_m]
[name_m]Marius[/name_m]
[name_m]Amias[/name_m]
[name_m]Caius[/name_m] / [name_m]Kaius[/name_m]

The boy names sound good together–not mismatched at all, in my opinion. The girl names are good, but a little…fanciful when compared with them. I’d keep [name_f]Morwenna[/name_f] and [name_f]Cyra[/name_f], though; they fit. :slight_smile:
