i’m having a really hard time settling on a style of names. i know that once we name the first one, we’re pretty set with a type. problem is the names i love are all over the place! heres some we’re thinking:
You don’t have to have just one style, but I’d go with your third set, [name]Arabella[/name], [name]Rosalie[/name] or [name]Anneliese[/name]. They’re not as popular as [name]Charlotte[/name] and [name]Sophie[/name], not as trendy as [name]Quinn[/name] and [name]Sloane[/name], will age well, would look good career-wise, they’re classy and elegant. But [name]Sophie[/name] sounds good with [name]Anneliese[/name] and [name]Audrey[/name] with [name]Arabella[/name]…I say don’t worry about style, per say, but more about which individual names go best with others you like.
I agree that you don’t have to settle on one specific style.
Now if you stick with a style for four kids and suddenly want to change for the 5th that might be a bigger issue.
I think [name]Sophie[/name], [name]Piper[/name], and [name]Annaliese[/name] are a great sibset.
I might steer away from doing like: Kayliegh, [name]Brenda[/name], and [name]Sunshine[/name], but it’s really only the extremes that sound strange to me.
Most people have a style I like to call “eclectic” and I think this is a good thing because you keep your mind open to many style families. I would suggest that you choose either classic/traditional names for the first name (Row 1 and 3 from your list) and put a more trendy name (those in Row 2) in the middle spot. I think the names in Row 1 and 3 can be used in a sibset. All of them are feminine and pretty (the only drawback is [name]Sophie[/name], [name]Audrey[/name] and [name]Rosalie[/name] share the same sound at the end).Personally, I think these names age better than those in Row 2.
