Olivia and Owen's baby sibling?

General Name Discussion
1

We never intended to stick with one first initial when naming our nuggets… But now that we have [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] and [name_u]Owen[/name_u] [name_m]Oliver[/name_m], with the last one on the way, I almost feel obligated to stick with that tricky first initial “O”!
What do you think, should I jump the O nugget ship, or stick with it at this point?
Either way, what sibling names would you suggest that flow nicely with [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] and [name_u]Owen[/name_u]?

Thanks for the help!! :smiley:

I’m really not a fan of the matching initial kids thing. It comes off as cheesy to me. But that’s just me. A lot of people here love it.

I don’t think having two kids with O means you are locked into having another O kiddo. That’s for sure. Especially since you have the two most common O names. Most of the o names I can think of are significantly less popular than [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] and [name_u]Owen[/name_u].
I think a classic currently well loved name would be a nice addition to [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] and [name_u]Owen[/name_u].

I can see it either way-- if you don’t really like any other O names, then I would use something else. Perhaps something with an O sound or other similar sounds and the classic sense of [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] and [name_u]Owen[/name_u]-- for instance, I really like the suggestion of [name_f]Eloise[/name_f].

Some other possibilities:

[name_f]Olivia[/name_f], [name_u]Owen[/name_u], and

[name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Chloe[/name_f]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f]
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f]
[name_f]Flora[/name_f]

I love the above suggestion of using a name that starts with a different letter, but has a strong O sound - [name_f]Eloise[/name_f], [name_f]Sophia[/name_f]/[name_f]Sophie[/name_f], [name_f]Chloe[/name_f], [name_f]Zoe[/name_f], [name_f]Nora[/name_f], [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], [name_f]Cora[/name_f], [name_f]Rose[/name_f], etc.

I definitely don’t think you have to stick with an O. I know a family with three kids who had a girl with an S name, then a boy with an S name, and gave their third and last child an A name. No one thinks twice about it or even notices.

If you really like the “O” sound but want another initial: (I think this might be a great way to go because it holds the “o” theme without forcing you to use a name that seems very unusual/uncommon next to your other kids’ names.

I prefer the above suggestions to just keep the “O” sound ([name_f]Chloe[/name_f], [name_f]Zoe[/name_f], [name_m]Leo[/name_m], [name_u]Noah[/name_u], etc.) especially because the next best O name is [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] and that’s already used as [name_u]Owen[/name_u]'s mn! :slight_smile:

You’ve already used my top O names but I definitely agree with having to name the next kiddo with an O name as well! Here are a few ideas :slight_smile:

Ideas for if it is a boy:
[name_u]Oakley[/name_u], [name_m]Otis[/name_m], [name_m]Odin[/name_m], [name_m]Orson[/name_m], Olivin

Ideas for a girl:
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] ([name_u]Love[/name_u] this name!), [name_f]Oriana[/name_f] , [name_f]Opal[/name_f] , Odyssei

If you aren’t sure if you’ll have more than three children, I’d stick to the inadvertent O theme you have going. If you think you might have more, I think it can go either way. I’m just one who likes some sort of symmetry in sibset first initials (all different, all same, two of one/two of another etc).

I can see Olivia, Owen and …

Octavia, Ophelia, Orla, Oriana, Odessa and Opal

OR

Oscar and Otto (I love Oliver but it might be too similar to Olivia).

If you end up using the previous poster’s suggestion of a non-O first initial name that still has a strong O sound, I quite like:

Marlo, Chloe

Milo, Arlo, Brody, Theo, Hugo, Leo

Hmm…I don’t think you should feel obligated to find another O name. As someone else mentioned, you picked the two most common O names, so finding another one that sounds pretty normal would be hard. If you absolutely needed an O name, you could go with…
[name_f]Opal[/name_f]
[name_f]Odessa[/name_f]
[name_f]Ottilie[/name_f]
Onalee
[name_f]Oceane[/name_f]
[name_f]Onora[/name_f]
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Olwyn[/name_f]

[name_u]Orion[/name_u]
[name_m]Otto[/name_m]
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m]
[name_m]Odin[/name_m]
[name_m]Orlando[/name_m]

However, although these start with an O, the style clashes with the style of your other kids’ names. So I would recommend going for something classic…

[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]
[name_f]Anna[/name_f]
[name_f]Emma[/name_f]
[name_f]Caroline[/name_f]
[name_f]Julia[/name_f]
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Fiona[/name_f]
[name_f]Natalie[/name_f]
[name_f]Rebecca[/name_f]

[name_m]Connor[/name_m]
[name_u]Finn[/name_u]
[name_m]Benjamin[/name_m]
[name_m]Andrew[/name_m]
[name_m]Adam[/name_m]
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m]
[name_u]Max[/name_u]
[name_m]Nathan[/name_m]/[name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]
[name_m]Thomas[/name_m]
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m]

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] that helps! :slight_smile:

I say you could associate and O in a name like
[name_u]Noah[/name_u]
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u]
[name_u]Logan[/name_u]

Hello, I am due with baby #3 in [name_u]July[/name_u] 2021. I am curious what original poster chose for new sibling? I have an [name_u]Owen[/name_u] [name_u]Michael[/name_u] and an [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_f]Luna[/name_f]!
