New future sibling combos list!

General Name Discussion
1

I know I’ve only just finished being pregnant, but nameberry, for better or worse, has turned me into a hardcore name-nerd. I’ve been thinking about future sibling names, and I’ve come up with 8 boy names and 8 girls names. (I know, it’s ridiculous, right?) Anyway, I’m just curious if any of them are particularly awesome or particularly not-so-awesome. I’ve come up with them in my newborn mother sleep=deprived mind, so it’s possible I’ve overlooked some glaring error. Plus once I’ve though of combos, I’ve gotta share them haha. So does anyone go particularly well with [name]Theodore[/name] [name]Atlas[/name] ([name]Teddy[/name]) and [name]Katherine[/name] [name]Juno[/name] ([name]Kitty[/name]), or does anyone particularly catch your eye for better or worse?

Boys:
[name]Abraham[/name] [name]Felix[/name] ([name]Bram[/name])
[name]Charles[/name] [name]Ptolemy[/name] ([name]Charlie[/name])
[name]Henry[/name] [name]Valentin[/name] ([name]Hank[/name])
[name]Isaac[/name] [name]Horatio[/name] ([name]Ike[/name])
[name]Jonathan[/name] [name]Hugo[/name] ([name]Jack[/name]) [[name]Jonathan[/name] [name]Moses[/name] was another idea I had.]
[name]Nathaniel[/name] [name]Ezra[/name] ([name]Nate[/name])
[name]Oliver[/name] [name]Dante[/name] ([name]Lee[/name])
[name]Theodore[/name] [name]Atlas[/name] ([name]Teddy[/name])
[name]Walter[/name] [name]Ignatius[/name] ([name]Wally[/name] or [name]Walt[/name]… If anyone wants to convince me to commit to one or the other is welcome.)

Girls:
[name]Alice[/name] [name]Viola[/name] (Lissy)
[name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Lyra[/name] ([name]Bea[/name])
[name]Edith[/name] [name]Lavender[/name] ([name]Edie[/name])
[name]Katherine[/name] [name]Juno[/name] ([name]Kitty[/name])
[name]Louisa[/name] [name]Winter[/name] ([name]Lulu[/name])
[name]Margaret[/name] [name]Delilah[/name] ([name]May[/name]) [Not sure about the flow on this one. I also considered [name]Margaret[/name] [name]Calliope[/name].]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Greer[/name] ([name]Poppy[/name]) [Also thought about [name]Penelope[/name] [name]Fern[/name], but now I’m really liking [name]Penelope[/name] [name]Astrid[/name], so what about that?]
[name]Susannah[/name] [name]Hester[/name] ([name]Annie[/name])
[name]Virginia[/name] [name]Daisy[/name] ([name]Ginny[/name])

I love [name]Louisa[/name] [name]Winter[/name], nn [name]Lulu[/name]. It goes perfect with [name]Katherine[/name], nn [name]Kitty[/name]. Classic, gorgeous name with cute, spunky nickname. [name]Penelope[/name] [name]Greer[/name] or [name]Penelope[/name] [name]Fern[/name] stands out to me too.

As for your boys, I like [name]Henry[/name] [name]Valentin[/name] and [name]Charles[/name] [name]Ptolemy[/name].

I like the [name]Bram[/name], [name]Walt[/name], and Lissy options

My favorites to go with [name]Theodore[/name] and [name]Katherine[/name]:

Boys:
[name]Henry[/name] [name]Valentin[/name] ([name]Hank[/name])
[name]Jonathan[/name] [name]Hugo[/name] ([name]Jack[/name])
[name]Nathaniel[/name] [name]Ezra[/name] ([name]Nate[/name])
[name]Oliver[/name] [name]Dante[/name] ([name]Lee[/name])

Girls:
[name]Alice[/name] [name]Viola[/name] (Lissy)
[name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Lyra[/name] ([name]Bea[/name])
[name]Louisa[/name] [name]Winter[/name] ([name]Lulu[/name])
[name]Margaret[/name] [name]Delilah[/name] ([name]May[/name])
[name]Susannah[/name] [name]Hester[/name] ([name]Annie[/name])

[name]Theodore[/name] ([name]Teddy[/name]), [name]Katherine[/name] ([name]Kitty[/name]), [name]Nathaniel[/name] ([name]Nate[/name]), and [name]Louisa[/name] ([name]Lulu[/name])—awesome sibset!

I think [name]Henry[/name] goes well, I remember it was initially your thought to go with [name]Teddy[/name] before [name]Kitty[/name] surprised you!

[name]Charles[/name] and [name]Walter[/name] are next on the list, and for the record, my vote goes to [name]Walt[/name] instead of [name]Wally[/name]…[name]Wally[/name] sounds like a whale to me, and somehow seems too similar to ‘[name]Willy[/name]’ which is quite unfortunate for a little boy. [name]Walt[/name] is better for all ages [name]IMO[/name], and the only real teasing I could see there is [name]Walt[/name] Disney.

For girls, I don’t normally like [name]Edith[/name], but the combination of [name]Edith[/name] [name]Lavender[/name] is lovely, and I do like the nn [name]Edie[/name]…so maybe that one. But my favourites are [name]Penelope[/name] nn [name]Poppy[/name] and [name]Louisa[/name].

[name]Walter[/name] [name]Ignatius[/name] - [name]Walt[/name]! In this part of [name]Canada[/name], we refer to Walmarts as [name]Wally[/name]-worlds. But I realllly like [name]Walter[/name]. Another awesome choice from you!
[name]Virginia[/name] - I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Theodore[/name], [name]Katherine[/name] and [name]Virginia[/name] together but I think [name]Daisy[/name] is kind of a fluffy middle name in comparison to [name]Atlas[/name] and [name]Juno[/name]. [name]Virginia[/name] [name]Lyra[/name] tho has a ring.

[name]Hope[/name] [name]Teddy[/name] and [name]Kit[/name] are doing well! And, to answer your question, yes - one does go particularly well with [name]Theodore[/name] [name]Atlas[/name] and [name]Katherine[/name] [name]Juno[/name]!

BOY - [name]Oliver[/name] [name]Dante[/name] (Although, [name]Ignatius[/name] [name]Hermes[/name] would be divine! [name]Teddy[/name], [name]Kitty[/name], and [name]Natty[/name], for sure!)
GIRL - [name]Margaret[/name] [name]Lyra[/name] (Or, perhaps you’d consider [name]Eloise[/name] [name]Flora[/name]? [name]Teddy[/name], [name]Kitty[/name], and [name]Elsa[/name]. [name]Love[/name] it.)

First of all, [name]Kitty[/name]-[name]Kat[/name] and [name]Teddy[/name]-[name]Bear[/name], just too cute for words. Too cute!

You really know your style and for the absolute most part, I believe you have remained true to your first Twinsie’s names.

[name]Abraham[/name] [name]Felix[/name] ([name]Bram[/name]) I love this!
[name]Charles[/name] [name]Ptolemy[/name] ([name]Charlie[/name]) I still love this!
[name]Henry[/name] [name]Valentin[/name] ([name]Hank[/name]) Still, still love this, and you for having such awesome taste.
[name]Isaac[/name] [name]Horatio[/name] ([name]Ike[/name]) See the three above
[name]Jonathan[/name] [name]Hugo[/name] ([name]Jack[/name]) Here is where I am worried that the combo comes off boring. Have you ever thought of [name]Hugo[/name], nn [name]Hugh[/name] as a FN? WDYT about [name]Jonathon[/name] [name]Ignatius[/name]?
[name]Nathaniel[/name] [name]Ezra[/name] ([name]Nate[/name]) It may just be me, but I feel like Nathiel blends in with [name]Ezra[/name].
[name]Oliver[/name] [name]Dante[/name] ([name]Lee[/name]) WDYT about [name]Oliver[/name] [name]Hugo[/name]?
[name]Theodore[/name] [name]Atlas[/name] ([name]Teddy[/name]) Still love this one so, and I’m glad you chose it.
[name]Walter[/name] [name]Ignatius[/name] ([name]Walt[/name]) This is the FN I just don’t like, and I’m not sure it’s ready for a come back.

[name]Alice[/name] [name]Viola[/name] (Lissy)
[name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Lyra[/name] ([name]Bea[/name])
[name]Edith[/name] [name]Lavender[/name] ([name]Edie[/name]) [name]Edith[/name] is my female [name]Walter[/name] off this list
[name]Katherine[/name] [name]Juno[/name] ([name]Kitty[/name])
[name]Louisa[/name] [name]Winter[/name] ([name]Lulu[/name])
[name]Margaret[/name] [name]Delilah[/name] ([name]May[/name]) I prefer [name]Margaret[/name] [name]Calliope[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Greer[/name] ([name]Poppy[/name]) I prefer [name]Penelope[/name] [name]Fern[/name]
[name]Susannah[/name] [name]Hester[/name] ([name]Annie[/name])
[name]Virginia[/name] [name]Daisy[/name] ([name]Ginny[/name])

I really love the frame-work of your girls names, but I want to rearange the combos a bit, not to offend, but see what you think of these-

[name]Alice[/name] [name]Lavender[/name]
[name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Lyra[/name]
[name]Louisa[/name] [name]Fern[/name]
[name]Margaret[/name] [name]Calliope[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Winter[/name]
[name]Susannah[/name] [name]Daisy[/name]
[name]Virginia[/name] [name]Hester[/name]
[name]Delilah[/name] [name]Greer[/name]

[name]Viola[/name] is the one that got left off. I like the name, but not the flow.

Thanks everyone!

@cat I like [name]Virginia[/name] a lot too, and I can see what you mean about [name]Daisy[/name] being fluffier next to [name]Atlas[/name] and [name]Juno[/name], but I”d be willing to swap if I was having a [name]Virginia[/name] next. I put them together because going down my list of middles and list of first names, I only had [name]Louisa[/name], [name]Virginia[/name], [name]Susannah[/name], and [name]Penelope[/name] left. [name]Louisa[/name] [name]Daisy[/name] sounded horrible, and [name]Susannah[/name] [name]Daisy[/name] and [name]Penelope[/name] [name]Daisy[/name] weren”t winning any awards either lol. I”m not sure about [name]Virginia[/name] [name]Lyra[/name] though; it”s a little too rhymey to me. Perhaps [name]Virginia[/name] [name]Hester[/name]? I know [name]Hester[/name] isn”t going to win a popularity contest with most people, but I love it, and it is a lot stronger than [name]Daisy[/name].

@spotlight Thanks for being so in depth! I originally had [name]Jonathan[/name] [name]Moses[/name] down as the combo, and [name]Oliver[/name] [name]Hugo[/name], but [name]Jonathan[/name] [name]Moses[/name] got a ton of thumbs down so I switched it. Although [name]Oliver[/name] [name]Dante[/name] hasn”t been super popular either. I can see [name]Hugo[/name] being a little boring next to my other middles, but I”ve always loved it, but I don”t think it fits in very well with my other first names. [name]Don[/name]”t like [name]Hugh[/name] at all, I”m afraid. What do you think about [name]Jonathan[/name] [name]Moses[/name]? I”d be willing to switch it again. I like [name]Dante[/name], but [name]Oliver[/name] [name]Hugo[/name] is nice as well.

As far as [name]Walter[/name], I think it can make a come back. After [name]Henry[/name] and [name]Theodore[/name], [name]Walter[/name] and [name]Arthur[/name] are tied for my third favorite boy name, but I was worried about an [name]Arthur[/name] being with [name]Alice[/name] (originally my top girl name) and [name]Theodore[/name]. I thought it might sound a little too much like both of them. Although [name]Artie[/name] is still adorable. Also, I see what you mean about [name]Edith[/name] being the most elderly off my girl names, but I think [name]Edie[/name] really makes it more modern. Plus [name]Edith[/name] is the one name on my list I actually have a family connection to.

   Your girl combos:

[name]Alice[/name] [name]Lavender[/name] ” I tried to sell this when I was originally making name plans, but most people didn”t care for it much. I think they felt the L”s ran together, or else [name]Alice[/name] [name]Viola[/name] just sounded better.
[name]Louisa[/name] [name]Fern[/name] ” This is nice, but I still like [name]Louisa[/name] [name]Winter[/name] I think. I put [name]Fern[/name]/[name]Greer[/name] together since they”re one syllable and [name]Penelope[/name] is four. I had been doing 2 syllable first names to 3 syllable middles, and 3 syllable first to 2 syllable middles, so it seems natural to do 4 to 1. O.C.D. I suppose. Although I realized [name]Isaac[/name] [name]Horatio[/name] broke that since it”s 2-4, but I love the combo too much to change it lol.
[name]Margaret[/name] [name]Calliope[/name] ” [name]Glad[/name] you like this, I love [name]Delilah[/name], but I”m not sure if it goes with [name]Margaret[/name] that well.
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Winter[/name] ” See [name]Louisa[/name].
[name]Susannah[/name] [name]Daisy[/name] ” I thought about this, but I wasn”t sure if [name]Susannah[/name] [name]Daisy[/name] went together that well, plus since [name]Susannah[/name] means lily, I thought this might be too floral heavy.
[name]Virginia[/name] [name]Hester[/name] ” I actually kind of like this like I mentioned to [name]Cat[/name].
[name]Delilah[/name] [name]Greer[/name] ” I”m not sure about [name]Delilah[/name] as a first name. I love it but I think it might be a little too modern/trendy/quirky to fit with the rest of my first names.

I still love [name]Astrid[/name] as a middle name, and would love to stick her somewhere, but I”m not sure if it works as well with anyone as it did with [name]Caroline[/name]. (I love [name]Caroline[/name] and it was one of my top names, but I took her off because I couldn”t find a nickname I liked for her at the time, plus now I feel she might be too close to [name]Katherine[/name].) What about [name]Penelope[/name] [name]Astrid[/name] instead of [name]Penelope[/name] [name]Greer[/name]/[name]Fern[/name]? That”s the only name I think it might work with. Actually I”m liking it now I”ve said it out loud a few times haha.

@lemon - [name]Glad[/name] you like [name]Oliver[/name] [name]Dante[/name], that seems to be the least popular one for some reason. [name]Ignatius[/name] [name]Hermes[/name] is a bit too out there even for my taste, I’m afraid [name]Ignatius[/name] will probably have to stay in the middle, I’d probably use [name]Nathaniel[/name] for [name]Natty[/name]. I thought about [name]Hermes[/name] when I was looking for middles, but I’m not sure if I love the sound of it. I did think of [name]Charles[/name] [name]Jupiter[/name] though!

I like [name]Margaret[/name] [name]Lyra[/name]. [name]Love[/name] [name]Flora[/name] still as well, but I’ve never been an [name]Eloise[/name] fan myself. I do have a huge soft spot for [name]Elsa[/name], but I would probably use [name]Elisabeth[/name] to get to her. Actually come to think of it, I have no idea why [name]Elizabeth[/name]/[name]Elizabeth[/name] isn’t on my list. I adore both [name]Elsa[/name] and [name]Betsy[/name], and it definitely fits with the rest of my names.
