Boy names that match

Writers' Corner

I’m writing a book that takes place in late eighteenth-century [name_u]England[/name_u]. So far, I have planned a family of six daughters and two sons, children of a Scottish earl.

The names of the daughters are:

Summary

The names of the daughters are:

[name_f]Lady[/name_f] [name_f]Cornelia[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] (b. 1754)
[name_f]Lady[/name_f] [name_f]Winifred[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] (b. 1757)
[name_f]Lady[/name_f] [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] (b. 1758)
[name_f]Lady[/name_f] [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] [name_u]Anne[/name_u] (b. 1759)
[name_f]Lady[/name_f] [name_f]Eugenia[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] [name_u]Maria[/name_u] (b. 1761)
[name_f]Lady[/name_f] [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_f]Georgiana[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] (b. 1762)

The first names have been settled on, but any ideas for changing the combos, flow, and switching up the middle names are welcome!

I can’t seem to find any boy names that match - either they are a bit too ‘common’ e.g - [name_u]George[/name_u], [name_m]Thomas[/name_m], [name_u]Henry[/name_u], [name_m]Richard[/name_m], [name_u]Robert[/name_u], [name_u]James[/name_u], [name_u]Charles[/name_u], or too outlandish - Clotworthy, [name_m]Theophilus[/name_m], [name_m]Theodoric[/name_m], [name_m]Balthazar[/name_m], Brabazon. All suggestions are appreciated!

[name_u]Morgan[/name_u] and [name_u]Douglas[/name_u]. I realised earlier today that they would make a good fictional sibling pair. Both are of celtic origin. [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] means “white lake” and [name_u]Douglas[/name_u] means “black waters” according to a name book I got from the library yesterday.
