I made a similar post recently because as we name baby #1 we were trying to decide whether the name we pick now will limit the names we choose in the future when we have more kids. Some of the main points a lot of people hit were that it matters to some but not to others, and what is considered “matching” is subjective. Overall, my personal opinion is that you should pick names you love. Being introduced as siblings will be a very tiny part of their life compared to all the time they’ll be an individual person. If you happen to love a bunch of R names or Italian names or place names then sure go for a theme, but if you’re finding yourself feeling like you’d be settling for names you don’t really love just to fit a theme, I really don’t think that’s a good idea. But that’s just my opinion, obviously some people may disagree.
