Ahhh this was hard. I adore your UC Rory!

I think my favourite set is Maxine Marigold, Beatrix Astraea, Winifred Lunaria & Caspian Apollo. Together they are dreamy, maximalist and whimsically vintage! Personally I love when a sibset has a pattern, and in this set it’s strong first names, luminous middles and snappy nicknames. They are all perfectly cohesive (especially love how Max and Bee both have an X) without being matchy matchy. :bouquet::violin::lady_beetle:

My honourable mention is Agnes Hollyhock, Dolores Lavender and Henry Oleander. I love to see Dolores (and Dolly :face_holding_back_tears:) especially with her charmingly vintage siblings’ names! Hollyhock is so cool too. :croissant::blossom::basket:

What are some nicknames for Edith that aren’t Edie?

I love the idea of the middle name [name_m]Calloway[/name_m] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- please rank the following combos from your favourite to least favourite, and let me know why you like your favourite one! :slight_smile:

[name_m]Calloway[/name_m] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] is such a fun combo–spunky and sweet! I’m especially partial to [name_f]Leonie[/name_f] [name_m]Calloway[/name_m] Jane; She balances out the chunkiness of [name_m]Calloway[/name_m] and the shortness of [name_f]Jane[/name_f] perfectly!

[name_f]Lua[/name_f], [name_f]Io[/name_f], [name_m]Mars[/name_m], and [name_f]Nyx[/name_f] work very well together! I think [name_m]Mars[/name_m] sticks out a little bit in my mind, just because she feels a tiny bit less mythological than the rest. Still, they all feel very cohesive, and that’s just if I’m being nitpicky. Personally, I’d worry about [name_f]Io[/name_f] a little bit as a full name, just because it’s so short and is a very chic and brave choice. However, that just comes from my preference leaning towards longer names with nickname options. I do love [name_f]Io[/name_f] though, she’s so cool! [name_f]Lua[/name_f] is probably my favorite of the bunch.

[name_f][/name_f]

If I were giving them middles, I’d probably go with [name_f]Lua[/name_f] [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f], [name_f]Io[/name_f] [name_f]Cosima[/name_f], [name_m]Mars[/name_m] [name_f]Calypso[/name_f], and [name_f]Nyx[/name_f] [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] or [name_f]Lua[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f], [name_f]Io[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f], [name_m]Mars[/name_m] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], and [name_f]Nyx[/name_f] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f]. [name_m]Ziggy[/name_m], [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m], [name_f]Fifer[/name_f], [name_m]Kip[/name_m], [name_m]Rafa[/name_m], [name_m]Fitz[/name_m], [name_m]Jago[/name_m], [name_m]Viggo[/name_m], [name_m]Neo[/name_m], [name_m]Sol[/name_m], [name_f]Gaia[/name_f], and [name_m]Rio[/name_m] all come to mind for sibling names!

[name_f]Do[/name_f] you prefer [name_f]Thurid[/name_f] or [name_f]Thekla[/name_f] as a sister to Swantje and [name_f]Brynja[/name_f] and what could a forth sibling be called?

I prefer [name_f]Thurid[/name_f]! But it’s close [name_f][/name_f]- they’re both great. Ultimately it came down to the fact I feel [name_f]Thurid[/name_f] is a closer stylistic match.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Thurid[/name_f] and [name_f]Brynja[/name_f] both are names that feel especially matched IMO [name_f][/name_f]- with Norse vs Icelandic roots, and strong, warrior-like meanings; so for a forth sibling, I would find a name that I felt bridged Swantje with the other two names. [name_f]My[/name_f] top choice would be [name_m]Ulrik[/name_m], as it has both Scandinavian and [name_m]German[/name_m] origins; and matches Swantje’s soft but cool vibe. Spelling it [name_m]Ulrich[/name_m] would also be another option, but I think I prefer [name_m]Ulrik[/name_m] here as I love names with strong ‘k’ sounds for you [name_f][/name_f]- they just feel so [name_f]Wanda[/name_f]!

I’m looking for a little sister for [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] [name_f]Helen[/name_f] [name_f]Christine[/name_f].

[name_f][/name_f]

I love [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] and [name_f]Polly[/name_f], but [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] is the name of an old cat, and [name_f]Polly[/name_f] sounds too close to [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] in an American accent. I’m not American, so maybe it’s okay, but I’d love to hear some more ideas. The middle name will be “Patricia” with another mid-century middle name.

[name_f][/name_f]

TLDR: Names like [name_f]Polly[/name_f] and [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] that go with [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f]?

[name_f]Penny[/name_f] feels like a perfect alternative to [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] and [name_f]Polly[/name_f]! [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] and [name_f]Penny[/name_f] are super sweet together, and I love the alliteration of [name_f]Penny[/name_f] [name_f]Patricia[/name_f].

Girls’ name ideas that are very well known, but not currently popular, but also not distinctly/noticeably dated? I’m thinking names like [name_f]Antonia[/name_f], [name_f]Claudia[/name_f], or [name_f]Heidi[/name_f]. I know the dated part is subjective – but anything that’s not super tied to a particular generation or considered an “old lady name” in the US would be great. Thanks!

I’m looking for a middle name for my beloved [name_f]Violet[/name_f][name_f][/name_f]! I’ve had reoccurring dreams of my daughter where this is her name, and I’ve never been able to find something that suits the middle spot. I want a name that makes her feel a bit more quirky, clunky, vintage, with a nature flair, but not something super classic that has a simple and boring feel. For example, something like [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] or [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] feels too classic and understated, which isn’t quite what I’m looking for.

[name_f][/name_f]

I’ve gone through my entire listography and have considered [name_f]Agatha[/name_f], [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], [name_f]Beulah[/name_f], [name_f]Beverly[/name_f], [name_f]Cavatica[/name_f], [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f], [name_f]Helena[/name_f], [name_f]Philomena[/name_f], and [name_f]Zipporah[/name_f], but none of them feel right. I’d love some new ideas that aren’t on my Listo, if that’s possible! [name_f]My[/name_f] other favorite girl names at the moment include [name_f]Olive[/name_f], [name_f]Hildegard[/name_f], [name_f]Elowyn[/name_f], [name_f]Fern[/name_f], [name_f]Clementine[/name_f], [name_f]Birdie[/name_f], [name_f]June[/name_f], [name_f]Nell[/name_f], [name_f]Florence[/name_f], and [name_m]Alcott[/name_m] for some vibe inspo~

Thank you so much in advance, I know this is sort of a difficult request! :white_heart:

Ohhh, [name_f]Violet[/name_f] is perfect[name_f][/name_f] for you! For that clunky, quirky, kinda vintage name with a nature aspect I’d maybe say [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Honeysuckle[/name_f][name_f][/name_f], cause it has that clunky, quirky nature-y vibe. I also think that maybe these would work…

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f]

I cannot[name_f][/name_f] stop thinking about the name [name_f]Eira[/name_f] (i-ra), she’s cute, unique, but not like oh my goodness who names there child that uniqueness. But basically I’ve been thinking about what you would name siblings to [name_f]Eira[/name_f].

[name_f][/name_f]

Some siblings I’ve been thinking about for [name_f]Eira[/name_f] are [name_f]Adelaine[/name_f], [name_f]Willow[/name_f] (b), [name_f]Josefina[/name_f] (called Jo), [name_f]Teodora[/name_f] (called Teddy) and [name_m]Beckett[/name_m] (called Kit) but none of them have really hit that mark.

[name_f][/name_f]

Also if you know my naming taste I’d love for you to give me some recs based on that! If you don’t I’d describe it as names that feel magical and a little unexpected, like they belong in a fairytale. I’m drawn to clunky-cute, vintage choices that have charm and softness. I also love when there’s a nature or international twist that makes the name feel rare and special.

what boy names would you suggest if my top three boys at the moment are merritt, wilder & sorrel? something soft and sweet, a name that feels approachable, and not too ‘rugged’, but with a colorful, nature-y side :rainbow:

[name_f][/name_f]

bonus points if they also match with my top girls: phoebe, sienna, elora, ramona & mason
