It has finally come time my fellow nameberries! I have been on this site for a while, and I am so happy to say the time has come that my lovely fiance and I have decided to begin trying for a baby. A little brother or sister to my little boy, [name_u]Sage[/name_u], and his little girl [name_f]Keera[/name_f]. We have a unique naming style, and are looking for opinions, suggestions, the works.
Some names one of us loves, but one isn’t quite sold on
[name_m]Aesop[/name_m] (B)
Cinder (B)
Kaimana (G)
Anubis (B or G)
[name_f]Avalon[/name_f] (G)
[name_u]Perry[/name_u] (G)
Good luck!
So let’s start with the names I don’t like for you.
When it comes to the boys, I find [name_m]Socrates[/name_m] to be too out there next to [name_u]Sage[/name_u]. For girls, Alora sounds too much like [name_f]Keera[/name_f]. From the “love but not sold on” category I’d remove Cinder, Kaimana and Anubis for being too unusual. Also, Cinder feels like a girl’s name to me because of [name_f]Cindy[/name_f] and [name_f]Cinderella[/name_f] and if you’re going to use Anubis use it on a boy to respect the culture.
[name_u]Perry[/name_u] is not my personal favorite and it’s all boy to me but it could work with [name_u]Sage[/name_u].
So out of your current list, the names I do like with [name_u]Sage[/name_u] and [name_f]Keera[/name_f] are [name_f]Avalon[/name_f], [name_m]Aesop[/name_m], [name_u]Frost[/name_u], [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u], [name_u]Spencer[/name_u], [name_f]Oona[/name_f], [name_f]Lapis[/name_f] and Coda. [name_f]Sapphire[/name_f] and [name_f]Virtue[/name_f] aren’t any less uncommon than [name_f]Lapis[/name_f] and Coda, but the latter are simplistic enough to work with [name_f]Keera[/name_f] and [name_u]Sage[/name_u].
Some ideas:
[name_m]Griffin[/name_m]
[name_m]Atlas[/name_m]
[name_u]Orion[/name_u]

For girls it’s a little harder, your style is a bit all over the place (honestly, same) but I think the best option for you is uncommon names that are simple enough to work next to [name_u]Sage[/name_u] and [name_f]Keera[/name_f]:
[name_f]Dahlia[/name_f]
[name_f]Electra[/name_f]
[name_f]Twila[/name_f]
[name_f]Clover[/name_f]
[name_f]Zora[/name_f]
[name_f]Zara[/name_f]
[name_f]Cassia[/name_f]
[name_f]Zosia[/name_f]
[name_f]Saskia[/name_f]
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f]
[name_f]Thisbe[/name_f]
[name_f]Mauve[/name_f]
[name_f]Nyx[/name_f]
[name_f]Lux[/name_f]
[name_f]Maude[/name_f]
[name_f]Emerald[/name_f]
[name_u]Clove[/name_u]
[name_f]Coralie[/name_f]
[name_f]Tulip[/name_f]
[name_f]Lilac[/name_f]
[name_f]Milou[/name_f]
[name_f]Isolde[/name_f]
[name_f]Junia[/name_f]
[name_f]Djuna[/name_f]
[name_f]Ailsa[/name_f]
[name_f]Elsa[/name_f]
[name_f]Elva[/name_f]
[name_f]Elka[/name_f]
[name_f]Sanna[/name_f]
[name_u]Sunny[/name_u]
[name_f]Estelle[/name_f]/[name_f]Estella[/name_f]
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f]
[name_f]Mirabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Lark[/name_f]
[name_f]Aster[/name_f]
[name_f]Astra[/name_f]
[name_f]Sybil[/name_f]
[name_u]Auburn[/name_u]
[name_f]Delta[/name_f]
[name_f]Delphine[/name_f]
[name_f]Honor[/name_f]
[name_f]Oceana[/name_f]
[name_f]Gaia[/name_f]
[name_f]Amity[/name_f]
[name_u]Echo[/name_u]
[name_f]Clio[/name_f]
[name_f]Cecily[/name_f]
[name_f]Ione[/name_f]/[name_f]Iona[/name_f]
I absolutely love [name_f]Oona[/name_f], [name_f]Avalon[/name_f], and [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] with [name_u]Sage[/name_u] and [name_f]Keera[/name_f]! The only names from your list I would drop are [name_f]Virtue[/name_f] and Anubis, which don’t feel as fun, down-to-earth, and accessible as [name_u]Sage[/name_u] and [name_f]Keera[/name_f].
I like [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] and [name_f]Avalon[/name_f] with [name_u]Sage[/name_u] and [name_f]Keera[/name_f]. [name_f]Aravis[/name_f], [name_u]Avery[/name_u] (boy or girl), [name_f]Alabama[/name_f], [name_u]Logan[/name_u], [name_u]Bentley[/name_u], [name_f]Jasmine[/name_f], and [name_m]Orson[/name_m] would also fit in well imo. [name_u]Sage[/name_u] and [name_f]Keera[/name_f] are different enough to each other that a completely different name would easily work.
I think [name_f]Oona[/name_f], [name_f]Avalon[/name_f], [name_m]Aesop[/name_m], Coda, [name_f]Lapis[/name_f] and Cinder all hit a similar sweet sport to [name_f]Keera[/name_f] and [name_u]Sage[/name_u] - simple, exotic, striking and beautiful
I particularly like [name_f]Oona[/name_f] and [name_f]Keera[/name_f] as sisters, and [name_m]Aesop[/name_m] is extremely cool
I don’t personally care for [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] and I think it is getting much more popular than a lot of your other picks. [name_f]Sapphire[/name_f], [name_f]Virtue[/name_f] and [name_u]Perry[/name_u] also give me a trendy rather than unique vibe.
I’m also not sure how wearable [name_m]Socrates[/name_m] is, unless you had a good nickname, and I’d prefer something less long and elaborate with the stylish and simple choices you have so far
Suggestions:
Lamisah
[name_f]Boheme[/name_f]
[name_f]Aster[/name_f]
[name_f]Suria[/name_f]
[name_f]Eshe[/name_f]
Badu
[name_u]Penna[/name_u]
[name_u]Seren[/name_u]
I like [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] and [name_f]Oona[/name_f] best. Both are funky and hippieish like [name_u]Sage[/name_u] but wearable. For girls I would drop [name_f]Sapphire[/name_f] (bit of a stripper vibe to me) and [name_f]Virtue[/name_f] (too close to naming her [name_f]Chastity[/name_f]). [name_u]Spencer[/name_u] seems too normal next to the other too, and [name_m]Socrates[/name_m] sticks out too much. Anubis is definitely too weird/morbid.
My favorites from your girl options are Alora and [name_f]Avalon[/name_f]. Alora kind of matches [name_f]Keera[/name_f] with the common ending sound, so you’d have to decide if that bothers you (personally I don’t like matching sounds, so I’d probably avoid it, but they also aren’t similar otherwise, so I think its fine).
On the boys’ side, I really like [name_u]Sage[/name_u], but your other choices seem a bit all over the place. [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] is nice too. I would definitely skip Cinder as I would associate it with [name_f]Cinderella[/name_f] she has even been called “Cinder” in some adaptations.
Thank you all so much for your helpful responses! We are very excited. From all your suggestions we like
[name_m]Atlas[/name_m] (this was on our long list)
[name_m]Fox[/name_m] (also on our long list!)
[name_m]Cove[/name_m] (We really like this one!)
[name_m]Perseus[/name_m]
And some we want to keep in mind
[name_m]Cyprus[/name_m]
[name_m]Magnus[/name_m]
[name_m]Clive[/name_m]
[name_f]Lux[/name_f]
[name_f]Astra[/name_f]
[name_f]Gaia[/name_f]
[name_u]Echo[/name_u]
[name_f]Amara[/name_f]
[name_u]Indigo[/name_u] (on our long list!)
[name_f]Opal[/name_f]
[name_f]Verity[/name_f]
[name_f]Zinnia[/name_f]
[name_u]Gray[/name_u]
I, personally, love that you all like [name_f]Avalon[/name_f]! I wish he liked it more. He is still really into Cinder too though I think.
If you all or anyone else have any suggestions or opinions we would appreciate it!
