[name_f][/name_f]

For a [name_f]Sister[/name_f]:

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_f]Willow[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- [name_f]Florence[/name_f] means ‘blossoming’, ‘flourishing’ & ‘prosperous’
[name_f]Ione[/name_f] [name_f]Willow[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- [name_f]Ione[/name_f] means ‘violet’ or ‘ purple flower’ (another nature connection)
[name_f]Lorna[/name_f] [name_f]Willow[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- [name_f]Lorna[/name_f] means ‘laurel’, ‘bay’ or ‘victory’ (another nature connection)
[name_f]Tallulah[/name_f] [name_f]Willow[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f] means ‘jumping waters’ which is a sweet nod to [name_m]River[/name_m] also being a water themed name
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_m]River[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] keeping the tree theme with [name_f]Elowyn[/name_f] & [name_f]Willow[/name_f] and [name_m]River[/name_m] to honor brother
[name_f]Winola[/name_f] [name_m]River[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- [name_f]Winola[/name_f] means ‘charming friend’, a sweet link to [name_f]Elowyn[/name_f] also meaning friend, it’s uncommon and shares letters with [name_f]Willow[/name_f] too.

For a [name_m]Brother[/name_m]:

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Brecken[/name_m] [name_m]River[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- [name_m]Brecken[/name_m] means ‘little freckled one’ it’s uncommon and I think it flows really well together
[name_m]Keating[/name_m] [name_m]River[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- [name_m]Keating[/name_m] means ‘descendant of the gentle/kind one’ which I think is pretty accurate for you both as parents, but also if you’re religious, it’s a sweet meaning to whomever you worship also.
[name_m]Lorcan[/name_m] [name_m]River[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- [name_m]Lorcan[/name_m] means ‘little fierce one’ or ‘fierce warrior’ which I think is quite fitting how tough it is to have our little miracles make it to earthside safely.
[name_m]Lowell[/name_m] [name_m]River[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- [name_m]Lowell[/name_m] means ‘little wolf’ or ‘wolf cub’ which I just think the imagery is adorable, it flows well too.
[name_m]Tobin[/name_m] [name_m]River[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- [name_m]Tobin[/name_m] means ‘God is good’ or ‘goodness of God’, again if you’re religious this would have great meaning. I think it sounds great too.
[name_m]Wyeth[/name_m] [name_m]River[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- [name_m]Wyeth[/name_m] means ‘from land by the willow tree’ or ‘willow wood’, I mean it’s kind of a no brainer. [name_m]The[/name_m] obvious connection to honoring sister [name_f]Willow[/name_f] with [name_m]River[/name_m] as the middle honor name for brother, not to mention it’s not super popular and sounds great with [name_f]Elowyn[/name_f].

For a sister to [name_f]Elowyn[/name_f] [name_f]Rae[/name_f], I think the best names would be [name_f]Ione[/name_f] [name_f]Willow[/name_f] or [name_f]Winola[/name_f] [name_m]River[/name_m]. As for a brother, I think the best names would be [name_m]Lorcan[/name_m] [name_m]River[/name_m] or [name_m]Wyeth[/name_m] [name_m]River[/name_m].
