We have welcomed [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] [name_f]Obelia[/name_f] into our family
She joins older sister [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] and twin brothers [name_m]Keir[/name_m] and [name_m]Solomon[/name_m] ([name_m]Sol[/name_m])
We have sought to maintain a “simple but unusual” vibe throughout our naming journey and wanted to choose a single syllable, recognisable but uncommon name to round out and ground our sibset.
We had all but decided on [name_f]Neve[/name_f], but when we met our daughter, her name was clearly [name_f]Gwen[/name_f], like 3 of her great grandmothers before her
[name_f]Obelia[/name_f] references an Australiana folktale by author [name_f]May[/name_f] Gibbs, a story close to our family’s heart.
