[name]Hi[/name] berries! A friend of mine is due in about 6 weeks with her 7th child, and the only boy so far. She is looking for a name that will “fit in” with her girls names, since he will be the only boy.
her daughter’s names:
[name]Allison[/name]
[name]Jessica[/name]
[name]Emmeline[/name]
[name]Anastasia[/name]
[name]Cecily[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name]
She is currently considering:
[name]Caspian[/name]
[name]Tobias[/name] “[name]Toby[/name]”
[name]Edison[/name]
[name]Dominic[/name]
[name]Mattias[/name]
which of these do you think goes best with [name]Ellie[/name], [name]Cecily[/name], [name]Anastasia[/name], [name]Emmy[/name], [name]Jessica[/name], and [name]Ally[/name]?
Since she hasn’t really gone with any one style for her daughters’ names, she could really pick anything and it would “fit”. From that list, I like [name]Tobias[/name] best.
I like [name]Caspian[/name] (nn [name]Cas[/name]) and [name]Tobias[/name] ([name]Toby[/name]) from her list. I think any of those names would go with the sisters’ names because they’re not all one style.
Are [name]Allison[/name] and [name]Jessica[/name] older than the other four sisters? They seem like they’re from another family. [name]Edison[/name] is too close to [name]Allison[/name] so that name should be eliminated.
To answer questions… Yes [name]Allison[/name] and [name]Jessica[/name] are oldest. Also, yes I did base some of the names for the book off of her names with her permission, however the book characters are called exclusively by their nicknames, and her children often use their full names. In addition to that, the names were originally place holders, and I am now working on rePlacing the rarely used full names of the characters with full names that have the same nicknames. ([name]Jessica[/name] will be [name]Jessamine[/name], [name]Allison[/name] is [name]Alayna[/name], [name]Eleanor[/name] is probably [name]Elizabeth[/name], [name]Anastasia[/name] to [name]Anneliese[/name], etc). Thanks for the suggestions so far! Seems like [name]Dominic[/name] is the favorite.
[name]Dominic[/name] and [name]Caspian[/name] = awesome. Either of these would be spectacular choices.
[name]Mattias[/name] = decent.
[name]Tobias[/name] = I don’t like this name, and the NN [name]Toby[/name] sounds funny to me.
[name]Edison[/name] = would be good, but too similar to [name]Allison[/name].
[name]Toby[/name] fits in seamlessly and it is a great favourite of mine. I like the friendly [name]Toby[/name] on his own but if you want the longer more formal [name]Tobias[/name] that’s ok.
Sisters [name]Allison[/name], [name]Jessica[/name], [name]Emmeline[/name], [name]Anastasia[/name], [name]Cecily[/name] and [name]Eleanor[/name].
If you don’t mind a repeating first letter I also think [name]Everett[/name] nn [name]Rhett[/name] is a great match.
[name]Edison[/name] is too close to [name]Allison[/name] so that name should be eliminated.
