I personally like for siblings to have their own initial unless you really love a name so if it helps I would eliminate [name_f]Elinor[/name_f], [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] and [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] if you are looking for ways to shorten the list.

I would nix [name_f]Elinor[/name_f] both because it didn’t stylistically fit with the others spelled this way and because it sounds a but too matchy with [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] who she’s be listed right next to (three syllables, or ending).

I personally like [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] with the current sibling names. Some if it is, like pp, that I prefer for siblings to have their own first letter. However, they sound the most distinctive against the group to me as well, blending in style, but a sound that puts them apart from the others. [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] is the most like that to me as it is a different ending sound than any of the others and [name_f]Savannah[/name_f] and [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] could potentially be a little too close for my tastes. They are all lovely names, though. Good luck!

[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] are lovely!! [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] is probably my favourite! I do enjoy [name_f]Elinor[/name_f] too but it’s a tiny bit similar to [name_f]Emilia[/name_f]

I really love the timeless classic that is [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]. So that would probably be my favourite, it goes well with [name_f]Emilia[/name_f], [name_f]Savannah[/name_f] and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m].

Joint 2nd would be [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] and [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u].

[name_f]Edit[/name_f]: I agree with @bb01jh about [name_f]Elinor[/name_f].

[name_f]My[/name_f] favourite would be [name_f]Elinor[/name_f] but spelled / pronounced [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]. I dislike [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] and it’s very common (at least where I am). [name_f]Adore[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f] though, it’s one my absolute favourites. Same re [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] - I prefer (but don’t love) [name_f]Sophie[/name_f]. [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] is not my style and I’m meh re [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f].
[name_m]Just[/name_m] want to add that this all sounds very negative but there’s nothing wrong with any of the names - all perfectly nice options and I do appreciate many classics. [name_m]Just[/name_m] personal taste.

With [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] , [name_f]Savannah[/name_f] and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] I think my favourite is [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f]

[name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] is long and flowy with lots of syllables and nickname potential galore !!

I think [name_f]Elinor[/name_f] is beautiful but might be misspelled

[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] is great too but it’s really popular in my circles

[name_f]Sophia[/name_f] is nice , but shares initials with [name_f]Savannah[/name_f]

[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] is one of my favourite names so this is my second choice !!

I think Charlotte would go pretty well with your other kid’s names.

hi! these names are beautiful. if you mind repeating initials, i’d scratch out elinor, evelyn, and sophia. elinor also really matches theodore, so that’s an out for me. i love alexandra or charlotte with these! personally, if you want to keep the ah sound on your girl names, i’d go for alexandra. if you want more of a difference, i’d go for charlotte. : )

I vote for [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] or [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] with siblings names. Both are lovely.

[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Elinor[/name_f], [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], [name_f]Sophia[/name_f], and [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f]!

With your set, I think [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] or [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] would fit in best. :slight_smile:

I love them in this order: [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], [name_f]Sophia[/name_f], [name_f]Elinor[/name_f], [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f]

I agree with others above that [name_f]Elinor[/name_f] spelled this way doesn’t quite fit with siblings, and the pronunciation is very rhymey with [name_m]Theodore[/name_m].

I think the two that fit best stylistically with your other kids are [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] and [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], although [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] and [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] are my favorites from the list.

[name_f]My[/name_f] first thought was eliminate [name_f]Elinor[/name_f] (sadly) because it rhymes w/Theodore. [name_f]My[/name_f] favorite is [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]! It obviously works great for little girls, but it still has a nice vintage charm (maybe helped for me by the fact that I know only two) and sounds smart and stylish. [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] is also very sweet but not quite as interesting/zingy as [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], imo.

[name_f]Elinor[/name_f] is my favorite individually, but I agree with pp that it’s too similar to your other children. With this set, I’d choose [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]. [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] is very regal and a bit more interesting, but I personally really dislike nickname [name_u]Alex[/name_u]. Maybe if she were [name_u]Allie[/name_u] instead?

[name_f]My[/name_f] vote goes to [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] it seems to fit the best….

[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] would be my next vote but it seems more expected then [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f].

[name_f]Elinor[/name_f] I would mix based on the spelling and on the rhyming with [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]

[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] is nice but seems more “dated” next to the siblings

[name_f]Sophia[/name_f] based on giving varyig initials to siblings.

Thanks for all the ideas

I hadn’t seen the rhyming in [name_f]Elinor[/name_f] and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] haha funny what others see

We have decided to not nix names with the same initials as we would have very few options at all, but we will take it under advisement :slight_smile:
