[name_m]Samuel[/name_m]! I love it so hard! [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] and [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] were close behind. I like [name_u]James[/name_u] but find it overdone and I’m just not a fan of [name_m]Jack[/name_m].

3

[name_f]Anna[/name_f] and [name_u]James[/name_u] would be smashing together.

I agree with @handsallover, [name_f]Anna[/name_f] & [name_u]James[/name_u] is a fabulous sibset. If it had been “which name do you prefer with [name_f]Anna[/name_f]”, I’d have definitely voted for him.

However, my individual favourite is [name_m]Thomas[/name_m].

[name_f]Anna[/name_f] and [name_m]Jack[/name_m] make a fantastic sibling set. Perfect. I would also adore [name_f]Anna[/name_f] and [name_m]John[/name_m].

Ditto @lovemysweeties, [name_m]Jack[/name_m] & [name_m]John[/name_m] make the perfect brother names to [name_f]Anna[/name_f]. I would pick [name_m]John[/name_m]. My personal favorites, individually, are [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] & [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]. [name_u]James[/name_u] and [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] are nice, too, but I do not like them with [name_f]Anna[/name_f].

[name_f]Anna[/name_f] & [name_m]John[/name_m]

Thanks for the comments, everyone!

I really like [name_m]John[/name_m] too, but it’s my brother’s name! Since we’re using my last name, we don’t want to use [name_m]John[/name_m].

Is [name_m]Jack[/name_m] way too over done? I obviously don’t mind common names, but I worry about all the [name_m]Jack[/name_m]/son variants!

The only names I feel that have been over done are [name_f]Jennifer[/name_f] and [name_u]Michael[/name_u]. [name_m]Even[/name_m] the most popular names nowadays are a small percentage compared to popular names decades ago. [name_u]Noah[/name_u] was the top name in 2016 (US), 0.947 percent of total male births in 2016. In 1980 [name_u]Michael[/name_u] was the top name, 3.7026 percent of total male births.

I chose [name_m]Samuel[/name_m], but I love [name_m]Jack[/name_m] and [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] too!
