Mix and Match Siblings for me, pretty please?

lyndsayjenness · April 11, 2010, 9:36pm

These are my favorite names lately. Assuming I don’t have 15 kids (lol), which do you think I should use? I know my girls names don’t go with my boys names at all, but I kind of don’t care.

#1- [name]Dashiell[/name] [name]David[/name] [name]Rowe[/name], always introduced as [name]Dash[/name].

Boys-

[name]Lincoln[/name] [name]William[/name] Warfield - [name]Link[/name]
[name]Hartwell[/name] [name]Christopher[/name] [name]Nick[/name]- [name]Hart[/name] ([name]LOVE[/name] [name]Hart[/name], not sure about [name]Hartwell[/name] but I can’t think of something I like more)
[name]Weston[/name] (or [name]Wesley[/name] but I like [name]Weston[/name] more)- [name]West[/name]
[name]Redford[/name] (or something else to get nn [name]Red[/name]) - [name]Red[/name] OR [name]Ford[/name]
Macintosh (is this name too much?) - [name]Mac[/name]
[name]Monroe[/name] - [name]Roe[/name] (weird since [name]Dash[/name]'s middle is [name]Rowe[/name]?)
[name]Montgomery[/name] (this name is probably [name]WAY[/name] too much) - [name]Monty[/name]
[name]August[/name] - nn [name]Oz[/name]/[name]Augie[/name] - love it but for some reason doesn’t seem right
[name]Angus[/name] nn [name]Ace[/name]- I [name]LOVE[/name] (so much!) but afraid of Anus teasing.
[name]Dodge[/name] - too much with [name]Dash[/name], but I love it all the time.

Girls-

[name]Beatrix[/name] nn [name]Trixie[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name]
Lulette nn [name]Lulu[/name] - sometimes I don’t like it but sometimes it feels SO right!
[name]Penelope[/name] nn [name]Penny[/name] - also love
[name]Clementine[/name] nn [name]Cleo[/name]- is [name]Clementine[/name] too much name? And [name]Cleo[/name] nn is a stretch.
[name]Marigold[/name] nn [name]Goldie[/name]- again, too much name?
[name]Magnolia[/name] nn undecided- ditto
[name]Rosalie[/name] or [name]Rosemary[/name] nn [name]Rosie[/name]/[name]Rose[/name]
[name]Cecilia[/name]/[name]Cordelia[/name] nn Cece/[name]Coco[/name]- love them both but I don’t know
[name]Scarlett[/name] - my fave my whole life by HATE Scar nn
[name]Virginia[/name] nn [name]Vivi[/name], [name]Ginny[/name], [name]Ginger[/name]
[name]Gwendolyn[/name]- love all the nicknames, can’t decide
[name]Violet[/name]
[name]Annabelle[/name] nn [name]Belle[/name]
[name]Elizabeth[/name] nn [name]Betsey[/name] (or [name]Eliza[/name] or [name]Libby[/name])

I’d love to see sets for any number and gender combinations if you feel like it! Thanks guys!

Oh by the way I want between 3 and 7 children… totally narrowing it down, right?

lemon · April 11, 2010, 10:56pm

[name]Hi[/name], [name]Lyndsay[/name]!

[name]How[/name] is Mister [name]Dash[/name]? I hope he is doing splendidly!

Anyway, my favorites from your boy list are [name]Lincoln[/name] and [name]Redford[/name]. [name]Love[/name] the [name]Mac[/name] nickname, not so much Macintosh - reminds me of computers! What about [name]Macaulay[/name], like [name]Macaulay[/name] Culkin? [name]Love[/name] that! My only problem is that you’ve got a collection of surnames here, whereas [name]Dashiell[/name] is a “real” name, you know? Probably not a big deal, and I love [name]Dash[/name], [name]Link[/name], [name]Red[/name], and [name]Mac[/name]!

[name]Dashiell[/name] [name]David[/name] [name]Rowe[/name] “[name]Dash[/name]”
[name]Lincoln[/name] [name]William[/name] Warfield “[name]Link[/name]”
[name]Redford[/name] [name]Rupert[/name] [name]Frost[/name] “[name]Red[/name]”
[name]Macaulay[/name] [name]Douglas[/name] [name]Drake[/name] “[name]Mac[/name]”

On the girls’ side, I’m loving [name]Beatrix[/name], [name]Penelope[/name], [name]Gwendolyn[/name], [name]Cordelia[/name], and [name]Violet[/name]! [name]Trixie[/name] (or [name]Bea[/name]!), [name]Penny[/name] (or [name]Poppy[/name]!), [name]Gwen[/name], [name]Coco[/name] (or [name]Deli[/name] “Deeley”), and [name]Lettie[/name] (or [name]Vi[/name]!) are too cute! My top four - with the boy names I selected - are [name]Beatrix[/name], [name]Penelope[/name], [name]Gwendolyn[/name], and [name]Violet[/name]!

[name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Helena[/name] [name]Hart[/name] “[name]Trixie[/name]”
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Pearl[/name] Darling “[name]Penny[/name]”
[name]Gwendolyn[/name] [name]Sylvia[/name] [name]Sage[/name] “[name]Gwen[/name]” (OR [name]Gwendolyn[/name] [name]Scarlett[/name] [name]Sage[/name]!)
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Veronica[/name] Tilley “[name]Vi[/name]”
([name]Cordelia[/name] [name]Catherine[/name] [name]Bliss[/name]) “[name]Coco[/name]”

So, that gives you, what, potentially nine kids?

Take care, [name]Lyndsay[/name]!

[name]Hi[/name] [name]Lemon[/name]! Mister [name]Dash[/name] (we call him Master [name]Dashiell[/name], actually, haha) IS doing splendidly, he’s asleep! I hope you are doing well!

See I used to agree with you about [name]Dashiell[/name] being a “real” name, but here’s the thing, it’s not! It’s a surname, albeit not a common one. It’s used more often as a surname than a given name, and it originally comes from the surname DeChiell. [name]Even[/name] [name]Dashiell[/name] [name]Hammett[/name] didn’t have it as a first name, it was his middle name, and his mother’s MAIDEN name! So you see, [name]Dashiell[/name] is a surname! Which I think is why I usually feel like “real” names don’t really go with it. So I’ve been on a surname hunt lately and I’m more happy with my results than I expected to be!

I’m glad you like [name]Redford[/name], [name]Ford[/name] is a surname on hubby’s side, so I like it a lot, plus I get [name]Red[/name]! Yes, Macintosh reminds me of the computer too, but I think probably a lot of people don’t even realize they’re Macintosh’s anymore and just call him [name]Apple[/name]. However, isn’t a Macintosh some sort of rain gear? I think so. I think it’s cute though and it’s my favorite [name]Mac[/name] name. I don’t like [name]Macauly[/name] for some reason, I have no clue why. All that said, I probably won’t end up with a [name]Mac[/name] of any kind… though, hmm, I would like to.

[name]Dashiell[/name] [name]David[/name] [name]Rowe[/name] “[name]Dash[/name]”
[name]Lincoln[/name] [name]William[/name] Warfield “[name]Link[/name]”
[name]Redford[/name] [name]Rupert[/name] [name]Frost[/name] “[name]Red[/name]” - [name]Rupert[/name] is cute, but [name]Robert[/name] would honor my grandaddy! I love [name]Redford[/name] [name]Robert[/name] [name]Frost[/name]!

Darn, the boy is awake!

lemon · April 12, 2010, 6:39am

[name]Hi[/name], [name]Lyndsay[/name]!

Wow! What great news about [name]Dashiell[/name] being a surname! Well, I think it is great, because it just makes it all that much more fun to mix and match other surnames with [name]Dash[/name]'s name…

Oh! Yeah, but I think of computers and apples - like the ones you eat - when I hear Macintosh. And, yes the Macintosh - or Mackintosh - is a form of waterproof raincoat. It looks rather expensive! Too bad [name]Macaulay[/name] isn’t doing it for you!

Anyway, just one word of caution - if you use [name]Redford[/name] [name]Robert[/name] [name]Frost[/name], it sounds an awful lot like you are trying to pay tribute to [name]Robert[/name] [name]Redford[/name] and [name]Robert[/name] [name]Frost[/name]! Oh no! You could easily fix this, I think, by using something like [name]Redford[/name] [name]Robinson[/name] [name]Frost[/name] or [name]Redford[/name] [name]Robertson[/name] [name]Frost[/name] - do you think that could work?

Oh! Go get “Master [name]Dashiell[/name]”!

[name]Lemon[/name]

Millikate · April 15, 2010, 7:47pm

[name]Dashiell[/name] [name]David[/name] [name]Rowe[/name]
[name]Lincoln[/name] [name]William[/name] Warfield
[name]August[/name] [name]Anthony[/name] [name]Dodge[/name]
[name]Hartwell[/name] [name]Hudson[/name] [name]Cloud[/name]
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Virginia[/name] [name]Belle[/name]
[name]Magnolia[/name] [name]May[/name] [name]Bianca[/name]

(To keep with your alliteration theme) So [name]Dash[/name], [name]Link[/name], [name]Oz[/name], [name]Hart[/name], [name]Vivi[/name], and [name]Moxie[/name]

[name]Dashiell[/name] [name]David[/name] [name]Rowe[/name]
[name]Marigold[/name] [name]Emily[/name] [name]West[/name] ([name]Goldie[/name]) I borrowed [name]West[/name] from your boys but I think it works.
[name]August[/name] [name]Christopher[/name] [name]Dodge[/name]
[name]Scarlett[/name] [name]Eliza[/name] [name]Ann[/name] ([name]Scout[/name]) [name]Scout[/name] fits in with your nn style [name]IMO[/name].
[name]Lincoln[/name] [name]James[/name] [name]Montgomery[/name]
[name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Magnolia[/name] Darling (nn [name]Betsey[/name] or [name]Belle[/name])

So [name]Dash[/name], [name]Goldie[/name], [name]Oz[/name], [name]Scout[/name], [name]Link[/name], and [name]Belle[/name]

Other random combos I came up with . . .

FOR THE BOYS

[name]West[/name] [name]William[/name] [name]Montgomery[/name]
[name]August[/name] [name]William[/name] [name]Dodge[/name]
[name]August[/name] [name]Christopher[/name] [name]Ford[/name]
[name]Redford[/name] [name]Taylor[/name] [name]Cloud[/name] nn [name]Red[/name]
[name]Dexter[/name] [name]Drake[/name] [name]Montgomery[/name]
[name]Dexter[/name] [name]Drake[/name] [name]Harvey[/name]
[name]Redford[/name] [name]Thomas[/name] [name]West[/name]

FOR THE GIRLS:

[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Jane[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]
Lulette [name]Clementine[/name] [name]Belle[/name]
[name]Annabelle[/name] [name]Bianca[/name] [name]May[/name]
[name]Magnolia[/name] [name]Katherine[/name] [name]May[/name]
[name]Cordelia[/name] [name]Scarlett[/name] [name]Ann[/name]

I love a lot of your names so even if you don’t love any of them, I had fun creating combos.

cecily · April 17, 2010, 10:10pm

Let’s see…

[name]Dashiell[/name] [name]David[/name] [name]Rowe[/name] “[name]Dash[/name]”
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Scarlett[/name] [name]Sylvie[/name] “[name]Penny[/name]”
[name]Clementine[/name] [name]Cecilia[/name] [name]Wren[/name] “[name]Cleo[/name]””
[name]Gwendolyn[/name] [name]Fiona[/name] [name]Felicity[/name] “[name]Gwen[/name]”
[name]Redford[/name] [name]Rhys[/name] Macintosh “[name]Red[/name]””
[name]Lincoln[/name] [name]William[/name] Warfield “[name]Link[/name]”

OR

[name]Dashiell[/name] [name]David[/name] [name]Rowe[/name] “[name]Dash[/name]”
[name]Virginia[/name] [name]Verity[/name] Lulette “[name]Ginger[/name]” or “[name]Ginny[/name]”
[name]Cordelia[/name] [name]Marigold[/name] [name]Mae[/name] “[name]Coco[/name]”
[name]Rosemary[/name] [name]Alice[/name] [name]Annabel[/name] “[name]Rosie[/name]” or “[name]Rose[/name]””
[name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Magnolia[/name] [name]Mary[/name] “[name]Trixie[/name]”
[name]Frederick[/name] [name]Frost[/name] [name]Monroe[/name] “[name]Red[/name]”
[name]Angus[/name] [name]Michael[/name] [name]Montgomery[/name] “[name]Ace[/name]”

I’d say that the first set is more modern-sounding (though many of them are old names), while the second set is more vintage.

lyndsayjenness · April 27, 2010, 4:05pm

Wow, I never saw the last few posts! I guess this was pushed to page two and I missed it somehow. You guys came up with some amazing combos! I can’t even say which I loved most because I loved them all!

This is the order I would have kids if I could choose right now

*[name]Dashiell[/name] [name]David[/name] [name]Rowe[/name] nn [name]Dash[/name]
*[name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Ann[/name] nn [name]Trixie[/name]
Twins:
*[name]Lincoln[/name] [name]William[/name] Warfield nn [name]Link[/name]
Lulette nn [name]Lulu[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] nn [name]Penny[/name]
Hartford nn [name]Hart[/name]
[name]Clementine[/name] nn [name]Cleo[/name] or [name]Minty[/name] (hubby LOVES [name]Minty[/name])
OR [name]Cordelia[/name] nn [name]Coco[/name]/[name]Delia[/name]/[name]Dilly[/name]/[name]Cora[/name]
[name]Griffin[/name] nn [name]Finn[/name]

So 4 boys would be [name]Dash[/name], [name]Link[/name], [name]Hart[/name] and [name]Finn[/name] - I love them together, though hubby doesn’t love [name]Griffin[/name], but by the time we get to a 4th child maybe he’ll love it!

4 Girls - [name]Trixie[/name], [name]Lulu[/name], [name]Penny[/name] and [name]Cleo[/name]*
[name]Trixie[/name], [name]Lulu[/name], [name]Penny[/name] and [name]Minty[/name]
[name]Trixie[/name], [name]Lulu[/name], [name]Penny[/name] and [name]Coco[/name]*
[name]Trixie[/name], [name]Lulu[/name], [name]Penny[/name] and [name]Delia[/name]
[name]Trixie[/name], [name]Lulu[/name], [name]Penny[/name] and [name]Dilly[/name]

[name]Marigold[/name] and [name]Magnolia[/name] have been pushed off the list because we can’t agree. I love [name]Marigold[/name] for [name]Goldie[/name], but he wants [name]Magnolia[/name] “[name]Maggie[/name]” and I just don’t think that fits with the rest of our names.

lyndsayjenness · April 27, 2010, 4:31pm

Can you guys help me come up with a great combo for Lulette? I was thinking Lulette [name]Sophia[/name] ___. I just love [name]Sophia[/name] but it’s not a family name and it’s too popular for me in the first place. But since Lulette is a family name, she could still have 2 family names with a “just love it” in the middle.

Lulette [name]Sophia[/name] [name]Rose[/name]
Lulette [name]Sophia[/name] [name]Ruth[/name]
Lulette [name]Sophia[/name] [name]Elaine[/name]
Lulette [name]Sophia[/name] [name]Katherine[/name]
Lulette [name]Katherine[/name] [name]Sophia[/name]
Lulette [name]Sophia[/name] [name]Laurice[/name]
Lulette [name]Sophia[/name] [name]Adeline[/name]
Lulette [name]Mary[/name] [name]Sophia[/name]

susan · April 27, 2010, 4:36pm

My favorites are [name]Penelope[/name] and [name]Redford[/name].

lyndsayjenness · April 27, 2010, 4:54pm

I love both of those, [name]Susan[/name]! Choosing names is too hard!

What about Lulette [name]Mary[/name] [name]Elaine[/name]? It would be for a second girl,
[name]Dashiell[/name] [name]David[/name] [name]Rowe[/name]
[name]Lincoln[/name] [name]William[/name] Warfield
[name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Ann[/name] (honors his GM, my GM, my mom)
Lulette [name]Mary[/name] [name]Elaine[/name] (honors my GGM, his GM, his mom)
Lulette [name]Mary[/name] [name]Diana[/name] (my GGM, his GM, my GM)

I like [name]Mary[/name] since it’s an uber classic, and it’s his mother’s mother’s name, so if we don’t end up using her name, she’d be happy we used her mothers. I love Lulette [name]Katherine[/name], but we’d have already used my mom’s middle name, [name]Ann[/name], so that doesn’t seem fair.

lyndsayjenness · April 27, 2010, 4:59pm

Oh my gosh I can’t stop!

Lulette [name]Diana[/name] [name]Elaine[/name]
Lulette [name]Diana[/name] [name]Marie[/name] (both aunt’s middle names are [name]Marie[/name])

Which fits best with [name]David[/name], [name]William[/name] and [name]Elizabeth[/name]? [name]Mary[/name], [name]Diana[/name], [name]Sophia[/name], [name]Katherine[/name], [name]Marie[/name], [name]Elaine[/name], [name]Lucretia[/name], [name]Ruth[/name]?

susan · April 27, 2010, 7:56pm

I love both of those, [name]Susan[/name]! Choosing names is too hard!

What about Lulette [name]Mary[/name] [name]Elaine[/name]? It would be for a second girl, - So cute!
[name]Dashiell[/name] [name]David[/name] [name]Rowe[/name] - of course, I love this!
[name]Lincoln[/name] [name]William[/name] Warfield - so handsome
[name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Ann[/name] (honors his GM, my GM, my mom) - so pretty
Lulette [name]Mary[/name] [name]Elaine[/name] (honors my GGM, his GM, his mom) - love it. My favorite aunt was named [name]Elaine[/name].
Lulette [name]Mary[/name] [name]Diana[/name] (my GGM, his GM, my GM) - love this, too.

I like [name]Mary[/name] since it’s an uber classic, and it’s his mother’s mother’s name, so if we don’t end up using her name, she’d be happy we used her mothers. I love Lulette [name]Katherine[/name], but we’d have already used my mom’s middle name, [name]Ann[/name], so that doesn’t seem fair.[/quote]

Faves on this list are [name]Beatrix[/name] and [name]Lincoln[/name]. (Other than [name]Dashiell[/name]'s names)

rach-lerner · April 30, 2010, 8:20pm

I absolutely adore your taste in names and I am in love with the name [name]Dash[/name]. Really, great choice.

As for your other boys names, for the [name]Hartwell[/name], well, I love [name]Hartley[/name] or [name]Hartlee[/name]. I’ve heard it on both a boy and a girl, but it’s just a suggestion…

My sibling set for you (the names I love the most):
[name]Dashiell[/name]-"[name]Dash[/name]"
[name]Weston[/name]-"[name]West[/name]" ([name]LOVE[/name] this!)
[name]August[/name]-“Auggie”
[name]Scarlett[/name]-"[name]Carly[/name] or [name]Carlie[/name]!" ([name]LOVE[/name] THIS NAME! I also hate Scar!)
[name]Annabelle[/name]-"[name]Belle[/name]" (so pretty)
*I would say use [name]Violet[/name], but with [name]Scarlett[/name], your “[name]Red[/name]” and [name]Violet[/name], that may be a problem

love your names!

sellons · May 3, 2010, 9:22am

[name]Dashiell[/name] to me has a very rich sound to it, but it also kinda reminds me of some rich guy in the 1920’s so I think it is only suiting that a sibling name have that same feel to it.

I love [name]Scarlett[/name] & [name]Dashiell[/name] as a brother-sister combination. The names just fit together so well. For the boy name I like [name]Weston[/name]. [name]Dashiell[/name], [name]Scarlett[/name], and [name]Weston[/name] all seem to just go together nicely.
