Congrats!
Here are some thoughts!
-
I like when sibling names are both complementary (but not matchy-matchy) while also being equitable (so not one kid [name_m]Reginald[/name_m] and the other Bob!).
-
With [name_f]Silvana[/name_f] nn [name_f]Silvie[/name_f] – which gives me [name_m]Euro[/name_m], princess, enchanted forest vibes – I’d be looking for something with a similar sense of romance and personality. I probably wouldn’t go straight to [name_f]Bennie[/name_f], and maybe not even [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] as standalone names. I’d much prefer [name_f]Bernadette[/name_f] or [name_f]Benedetta[/name_f] nn [name_f]Bennie[/name_f], and [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f], [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] or [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] nn [name_f]Elsie[/name_f].
-
Some other girls’ names I’d consider: [name_f]Alessandra[/name_f], [name_f]Francesca[/name_f], [name_f]Leonora[/name_f], [name_f]Marguerite[/name_f], [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f], [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] (Cosy, Mimi), [name_f]Isadora[/name_f], [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] and [name_f]Serafina[/name_f]. All have that romantic, slightly regal feel and several cute nickname options. I’d see [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] nn [name_f]Josie[/name_f] (or Posy!) fitting beautifully in this group too.
-
If you want something more vintage and whimsical, I think [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] nn [name_f]Goldie[/name_f] could be great in the top spot. Or [name_f]Romilly[/name_f] nn [name_f]Romy[/name_f], [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f] nn [name_m]Tully[/name_m] or [name_f]Lulu[/name_f], or even [name_f]Bluebell[/name_f].
-
[name_f]Gemma[/name_f] [name_f]Meadow[/name_f] feels a little fast and M-heavy to me. I like [name_f]Gemma[/name_f], but don’t quite see it as a natural pairing with [name_f]Silvana[/name_f]. Perhaps [name_f]Jemima[/name_f] or [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] instead?
-
Of your boy options, and again thinking about the grand, slightly enchanted storybook feel, I like [name_m]Arthur[/name_m], Rainer/Rayner/Reiner, [name_m]Griffin[/name_m] and [name_m]Stetson[/name_m]. I’d perhaps be hesitant about another S name unless it’s an absolute favourite, given [name_f]Silvana[/name_f]. [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] is the quirkiest and sounds cool with [name_f]Silvie[/name_f]. [name_m]Warwick[/name_m] is too harsh for me (prefer Frederick).
-
[name_m]Other[/name_m] boys’ names I think could work: [name_m]Stellan[/name_m], [name_m]Otis[/name_m], [name_m]Rafferty[/name_m], [name_m]Casper[/name_m], [name_m]Caspian[/name_m], [name_m]Cassian[/name_m], [name_m]Tobias[/name_m], [name_m]Benedict[/name_m] (I actually prefer this to [name_m]Benson[/name_m] alongside Silvana), [name_m]Barnaby[/name_m], [name_m]August[/name_m], [name_m]Wilfred[/name_m], [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] and [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m].
I esp love [name_f]Silvana[/name_f] & [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] (Silvie & Cosy/Mimi) & [name_f]Silvana[/name_f] & [name_m]Benedict[/name_m] (Silvie & Benny). [name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps!
