I’m slowly starting to build up my shortlist again - and I tend to do it using names that I would use together for siblings.
So far, [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f], [name_u]Dexter[/name_u] [name_m]Callum[/name_m], [name_m]Harry[/name_m] [name_m]Matthew[/name_m], and [name_m]George[/name_m] (no set MNs yet for [name_m]George[/name_m], and torn on the 4th & 5th favourite boys names) are my favourites, but, I’m a bit torn for the girls.
[name_f]My[/name_f] top contenders for the four remaining girls names are:
With [name_f]Lillian[/name_f], [name_u]Dexter[/name_u], [name_m]Harry[/name_m] and [name_m]George[/name_m] I like the following best:
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f], [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f], [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f], [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] and [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_f]Viola[/name_f]
Suggestion: I prefer Hendry and [name_m]Hendrik[/name_m] over [name_m]Harry[/name_m] in this sibset. [name_m]Harry[/name_m] can always be the nn for either of these. I think Hendry and [name_m]Hendrik[/name_m] sound better with the more ‘formal’ [name_u]Dexter[/name_u] and [name_m]George[/name_m] than [name_m]Harry[/name_m] does, but they still have some of the spunk you get from [name_m]Harry[/name_m] and [name_u]Dexter[/name_u]. [name_m]Henry[/name_m] would work too but I don’t think it works as well with [name_u]Dexter[/name_u] and [name_m]Henry[/name_m] and [name_m]George[/name_m] seem so good ol’ boy to me while [name_u]Dexter[/name_u] is a little rowdier. (I always see [name_m]Henry[/name_m], and [name_m]George[/name_m] in the same light as other classics like [name_m]Charles[/name_m], [name_m]William[/name_m], [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] - classic, solid, strong but just not as adventurous as [name_u]Dexter[/name_u]).
From your list, I’d add sisters [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] and [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] - possibly [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] or [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f].
As a bit of random inspiration, I know real life kids (from babies up to my age) with those names who have sisters called…
[name_f]Grace[/name_f]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f]
[name_f]Pippa[/name_f] (she’s a [name_f]Phillipa[/name_f] though)
[name_f]Zoe[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosie[/name_f]
[name_f]Kathryn[/name_f]
[name_f]Lara[/name_f]
[name_f]Fiona[/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] and [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Bridget[/name_f] are absolutely gorgeous! Either would be perfect.
I love [name_m]Harry[/name_m] (although I personally prefer [name_m]Henry[/name_m] I think [name_m]Harry[/name_m] works best in this sibset), [name_u]Dexter[/name_u], [name_m]George[/name_m] and [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] - great choices
Seeing as all of those names are just my style I am going to say [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] would work best with them because that is the other name from your list that is spot on my style
I’m not a fan of either of your [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] combos however I [name_f]ADORE[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f], [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Bridget[/name_f] and [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]!
I love the sibset of [name_f]Lillian[/name_f], [name_m]Harry[/name_m] and [name_m]George[/name_m] but [name_u]Dexter[/name_u] feels like the odd one out. It doesn’t sound as timeless and classic as your other choices, including the other girls ones.
Anyways, I would add either
[name_f]Pearl[/name_f] [name_f]Victoria[/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Poppy[/name_f]
[name_f]Isobel[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]
to your shortlist!
I’m thinking I that [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] and [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] (or [name_f]Florence[/name_f] and [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]!) are my best bets, thank you! I’m trying to decide on boys names ([name_m]George[/name_m] has lost it’s charm for me ), but I definitely love [name_m]Harry[/name_m], [name_u]Dexter[/name_u] and [name_f]Lillian[/name_f]. [name_f]My[/name_f] great grandmother (named [name_f]Lillian[/name_f]) had a brother named [name_m]Harold[/name_m], so I find the [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] & [name_m]Harry[/name_m] thing very cute and connected to them (I was fairly close to my uncle [name_m]Harold[/name_m], however his wife was [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f], so [name_m]Harry[/name_m] and [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] likely won’t happen).
