[name_m]Hi[/name_m] guys!! I am establishing a sibset which consists of a 23 year old girl, 17 year old girl, 9 year old boy and potentially a 7 year old girl. Currently the only name that is 100% definite is [name_f]Hannah[/name_f] (17yo). The 9yo will most likely be [name_m]Ethan[/name_m] and the 23yo with probably be either [name_f]Leah[/name_f] or [name_f]Jessica[/name_f] “[name_u]Jess[/name_u]” (HOWEVER AM STILL OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS).
Anyway this post is to focus on the potential 7yo girl. What names would you suggest? The styles can be slightly different and don’t necessarily have to be biblical. I have thought about [name_f]Abigail[/name_f] but it’s not working for me.
[name_f]Joy[/name_f]
[name_f]Emily[/name_f]
[name_f]Louise[/name_f] “[name_u]Lou[/name_u]”
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u]
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f]
Any suggestions, opinions, advice is welcome - along with favourites from my list. Please be brutally honest about what you think of my sibset [name_f]Leah[/name_f], [name_f]Hannah[/name_f] and [name_m]Ethan[/name_m] or [name_f]Jessica[/name_f], [name_f]Hannah[/name_f] and [name_m]Ethan[/name_m].
What time frame is this family set in? If they are these ages at the present time, I think a 7yo [name_f]Emily[/name_f] makes the most sense. [name_f]Violet[/name_f] would be my second choice, definitely.
As for the 23yo, I think [name_f]Jessica[/name_f] makes more sense, because it was more common, but [name_f]Leah[/name_f] works as well and was still used at the time. [name_f]Rachel[/name_f], [name_f]Kaylee[/name_f], [name_f]Katie[/name_f], [name_f]Jenna[/name_f], [name_f]April[/name_f], [name_f]Brittany[/name_f], or [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f]/[name_f]Rebekah[/name_f] might be good choices for that age range as well.
I notice that [name_m]Ethan[/name_m] and [name_f]Hannah[/name_f] are Hebrew/biblical names; does the family you’re imagining value a religion, or are these names chosen because they are well-established, well-known names? Are they just names you liked? That could help a lot with choosing. I imagine a devoted [name_m]Christian[/name_m] family having a [name_f]Leah[/name_f], [name_f]Hannah[/name_f], and [name_m]Ethan[/name_m], while a more secular family might have chosen [name_f]Jessica[/name_f] instead. If that’s the case, I’d consider another biblical name for the 7yo girl as well. [name_f]Rachel[/name_f] and [name_f]Rebekah[/name_f] work, as do virtue names like [name_f]Grace[/name_f] and [name_f]Faith[/name_f].
[name_f]Emily[/name_f] works well.
