I am starting to put together some sibsets that are based around themes which are meaningful to me. The first one I am starting with is based on astronomy, which my father loved and I became very interested in too. [name_f]My[/name_f] name was actually inspired by the [name_u]Hale[/name_u] Bopp comet so this has a lot of meaning.
I am trying to come up options for three pairs consisting of girl-boy, girl-girl and boy-boy. I am still working on defining what my naming preferences are for girl names. It is a bit all over the place at the moment and that’s why I am trying to narrow it down somewhat. They can range from classical to modern, probably less common, but [name_f]Emma[/name_f], as an example, is one I really like, so I don’t rule out common names. Something inspirational or aspirational. Most of all the significance I place on the name and personal meaning to me is more important, in a sense like an honoring name where it is not necessarily honoring a person but something in my life.
For boy names I have a huge soft spot for feminine names on boys and actually tend to really like names that are used more for girls on boys. But at the same time it does need to be a name that I do feel a boy could carry and wear well, so I find it encouraging if the name has a history of being used for boys in the past. or is really like gender neutral. Again, the significance and meaning to me is really most important.
At the moment I find I have more options for girl names than boys that meet this criteria based around the astronomy theme. For example, for girls I like [name_f]Celeste[/name_f], [name_f]Lyra[/name_f], [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f], [name_u]Nova[/name_u] and [name_u]Seren[/name_u]. For boys I am struggling and the closest I can come up with so far that I like is [name_u]Skye[/name_u] (even though I prefer the [name_f]Isle[/name_f] spelling). I am wondering if [name_u]Seren[/name_u] maybe usable for both. So here are some sibsets:
Girl-Girl: [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] and [name_f]Lyra[/name_f]
Girl-Girl: [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] and [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f]
Girl-Girl: [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] and [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f]
Girl-Girl: [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] and [name_u]Nova[/name_u]
Girl-Girl: [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] and [name_u]Nova[/name_u]
Girl-Boy: [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] and [name_u]Skye[/name_u]
Girl-Boy: [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] and [name_u]Skye[/name_u]
Girl-Boy: [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f] and [name_u]Skye[/name_u]
Girl-Boy: [name_u]Nova[/name_u] and [name_u]Skye[/name_u]
Girl-Boy: [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] and [name_u]Seren[/name_u]
Girl-Boy: [name_f]Lya[/name_f] and [name_u]Seren[/name_u]
Girl-Boy: [name_u]Nova[/name_u] and [name_u]Seren[/name_u]
Boy-Boy: [name_u]Skye[/name_u] and [name_u]Seren[/name_u]
Boy-Boy: [name_u]Skye[/name_u] and [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f] (nn Andro or [name_u]Romy[/name_u])
Boy-Boy: [name_u]Seren[/name_u] and [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f]
Which ones do you like of each category (if any) and can you suggest some other boy names for me that may work well with these sibsets?
