Hello, friends! 
I’m coming to you with a very dramatic question today, as I’m feeling a little frustrated in my searches. 
I’ve recently fallen in love with the names [name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] “Otter” and [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] “Bear/Rueby” as brothers, and I’ve been in the process of looking for a name for their little sibling (primarily a brother, although I will eventually need to find a sister name) for several days and haven’t found anything I adore as much as [name_m]Otto[/name_m] and Rupert’s names! In true [name_f]Mollie[/name_f] fashion, this has frustrated me to no end, and I’ve decided to ask you all for help.
On [name_m]Otto[/name_m] and [name_m]Rupert[/name_m]: [name_m]Otto[/name_m] and [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] are both family names, and my original inspiration for the combo came from [name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_m]Ludwig[/name_m], a direct combination from my family tree that I love. I switched [name_m]Ludwig[/name_m] out for another artist’s name that was in my tree without thought, and the combination fell into my lap perfectly! When picking Rupert’s name, I was hoping to find a name with the nickname [name_m]Rueby[/name_m], and I ended up finding [name_m]Rupert[/name_m], [name_m]Ruben[/name_m], and [name_m]Rufus[/name_m]. Given the fact that I found some gold with Otto’s combo in my family, I decided to look for some inspiration there for this name as well and came across the combo [name_m]Reuben[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m], which quickly solidified [name_m]Henry[/name_m] as the middle name. I decided on [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] soon afterwards and was pleased to find the name also had an animal connection, as there is a children’s comic called [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] [name_m]Bear[/name_m]!
Looking for their siblings’ names: Of course, just two names in a set is not good enough for me, so I quickly decided to find another name! I went through nearly a dozen Nameberry articles that I thought had names that fit the theme or vibe of [name_m]Otto[/name_m] and [name_m]Rupert[/name_m], as well as my own lists, and had nearly 250 names gathered by the end of this! I narrowed it down to the names that I wrote down more than once and my other favorites, and then from there, I separated it into middle and first options and narrowed it down to a top ten from there. Deciding that I wanted them to have a brother first and foremost, I went through to find which of the names had animal connections and ended up with the top three of [name_m]Franklin[/name_m], [name_m]Humphrey[/name_m], and [name_m]Morris[/name_m] for first names, and [name_m]George[/name_m] and [name_m]Laszlo[/name_m] for middle names. For a few days, I’d thought I’d decided on [name_m]Franklin[/name_m] [name_m]George[/name_m], but something in me says he’s just not perfect. I think largely because he didn’t come to me naturally from looking at family names, but instead from a process of elimination. So while I do think [name_m]Otto[/name_m], [name_m]Rupert[/name_m], and [name_m]Franklin[/name_m] are sweet together, I’m just not sure. Both [name_m]Franklin[/name_m] and [name_m]George[/name_m] are family names, which is something I’m really liking in this set, but gah, why can’t I settle on him?! He also does have an animal (turtle) connection, something that has become a non-negotiable requirement for me in this set.
And for some guidance of names I liked, here is (a portion of) the names from my initial searchings:

Wonderly (surname)
I do apologize for the sheer amount of names here, I’ve just tried to pack everything in so this can hopefully be a little bit easier! This is the majority of the information I used to find [name_m]Otto[/name_m] and Rupert’s names, so it felt like the best way to get good results.
With that being said, I would love to hear what you’d suggest as sibling names for [name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] and [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m], as I feel like I’ve exhausted all of my options! And how do you feel about [name_m]Franklin[/name_m] [name_m]George[/name_m] as their brother? What do you see [name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] and [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] as? I’d love explanations too if you have any! And as a bonus question: what would you personally name siblings to [name_m]Otto[/name_m] and [name_m]Rupert[/name_m]?
