Need help naming 5 siblings in my story!

Hey everyone! I’m starting a new novel about a set of five siblings who are sort of “on the run”…that’s about as much as I know so far in terms of the plot, haha, but I’m really struggling to name them! I was hoping I could get some help here :slight_smile: Thank you! I was thinking their surname would be “[name]Leonard[/name]”.

  • Brother 1, 19 years old. Head of the pack. Clever, sharp, spontaneous. [name]Wild[/name] card. Tall (like 6’4), chestnut-colored hair, bright blue eyes. Not always “nice”, but cares deeply about his family and is willing to put off lots of things important to him for them. Prone to running off, however, due to his explosive temper and fierce competetiveness. Likes to get into fights, both physical and otherwise. Occasionally indulges in the party life and is a huge hit with the ladies. Has a birthmark “freckle-patch” beneath one of his eyes that he thinks looks really strange but it’s actually really really hot. He thinks it makes him look like a dalmatian. Has a trademark scar on his lower abdomen. Brooding and quiet, with lots of anger broiling beneath his surface.
    -Brother 2, 17 years old. Seems like the total opposite of Brother 1 in every way. Warm and compassionate, friendly and cheerful yet sensitive. [name]Silly[/name] and sweet, “gets” people, and just feels in general. Affectionate and long-limbed, sandy blonde hair and blue-grey eyes. Skinny but strong, about 6’2. The emotional “glue” of the family, in a way. Not much else to say about him, but I recognize that he’s important–just not sure how yet. Gentlemanly, endearing, adorable, loving. Goes unrecognized as the best character and the organizer of the family, but doesn’t mind (at first, at least).
    -[name]Sister[/name] 1, 14 years old. Angry and cynical, and in this way she gets along very well with brother 1. They have the same dark sense of humor and pessimistic outlook on life. Difference is that she doesn’t do anything to really help–she’s very much so an antagonist in this way, often slowing progress instead of easing it along. Likes boys and parties and slutty clothing. However, she’s also quite smart and quietly interested in learning–she likes to read classics and tries to learn new languages often. A dancer (or at least she was a dancer), and built like one too. White blonde hair and pale skin with slightly rosy cheeks, strangely dark eyes that are unexpected with her hair and skin color. Has an especially throaty laugh.
    -[name]Sister[/name] 2, 11 years old. Quiet and shy, sensitive and intelligent. Often caught up in the mess of her family, and often forgotten about because she’s so easy to miss. Sensitive observer who likes to write, draw and paint. Acts as sister 3’s medium and is almost always by her side at all times. She’s bewildered, however, by her brothers and other sister, and is almost a separate entity–aside from interactions with sister 3. Easily swayed and a little naïve, though she seems like she’d be otherwise, and is easily disoriented. Enjoys school quite a bit and sees it as a release from the chaos of her every day life. Is also a total dreamer, “lives on a different planet”–something she often gets carried away with and starts to believe is true. Narrator but not quite the main character. Dark hair, like brother 1, and blue eyes–looks most like him out of all the siblings. Also about to enter that awkward middle school phase but is still small and skinny enough to be “cute” and not “gross”.
    -[name]Sister[/name] 3, 9 years old.Selectively mute. Hasn’t spoken for several years and thus has some strange relationships with her siblings. [name]Sister[/name] 1 often hurts her, brother 2 often coddles her, brother 1 doesn’t know what to do with her, and sister 2 is her very best friend in the universe. She’s quite small for her age, and scrawny, with messy blonde shoulder-length hair and frightened hazel eyes. She’s in the second grade (again) because her teachers insisted that she couldn’t move on to third until she began to communicate “like a normal person”, not through her brother or through pictures. [name]One[/name] of her favorite activities is being read aloud to, even though she can likely read herself (they don’t really know because she never demonstrates it for anyone), and dancing–it’s one of the few things she has in common with sister 1.

Brother #1: [name]Will[/name] - name means “resolute protection”.
Brother #2: [name]Hugo[/name] - “heart, mind, spirit”.
[name]Sister[/name] #1: [name]Mamie[/name] - means “bitter”.
[name]Sister[/name] #2: [name]Lacey[/name] - “from Lassy”.
[name]Sister[/name] #3: [name]Posey[/name] - “a bunch of flowers”.

These all feel really nicknamey to me, but stylistically they make sense - they’re all nicknamey, & seem like the parents chose them with brevity in mind. Good luck :slight_smile:

Thank you!! I especially like the girls’ names! I’ll keep them in mind :slight_smile:
