[name_f]Vita[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- I love the bright, lively meaning of it [name_f][/name_f]- both sweet and sassy
[name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- [name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- distinctive and cool with a gorgeous meaning
[name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- [name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- zippy but elegant, and nn [name_f]Tiggy[/name_f] is so cool 
[name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- [name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Ines[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- sleek and distinctive with a sunny feel [name_f][/name_f]- I do like it but it ranks lower purely because my brain always wants to say EYE-nez but I know it’s EE-nez (which I think sounds lovely so…) 
[name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- [name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Cleo[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- okay, I love [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- spirited, bright and cool [name_f][/name_f]- but if I’m going with what works with sibs too, the O ending is so distinctive that I don’t love it with J’s name. Not unusable by any means [name_f][/name_f]- just a me thing probably

I love your kiddos names! I know I’ve said this before and your favourites are gorgeous 
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] ~ this is my favourite she’s elegant, bright and timeless. I love the meaning ‘she who brings happiness’ along with nicknames [name_f]Bea[/name_f] + [name_f]Tiggy[/name_f].
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] ~ my second favourite she’s bright, sparkly, fun and zippy especially with that fun X start. I think [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] is really fitting with your kiddos too.
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Cleo[/name_f] ~ a spunky joyous choice that has this Shoreditch hipster feel she’s gorgeous with a fabulous meaning my only draw back was that she shares the same O ending as J and I like that they all have their individual endings.
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Vita[/name_f] ~ this is actually my nickname from my Jewish side of my family and I do like [name_f]Vita[/name_f] she’s unexpected, strong and lively however I do prefer others on your list.
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Ines[/name_f] ~ a pretty pan European choice that feels elegant, streamlined and charming however I really prefer [name_f]Inez[/name_f] spelling wise. She also doesn’t feel as warming within your sibling set.
[name_f][/name_f]
Suggestion: [name_f]Delphi[/name_f]

And I’d choose Ines 
for your sibset! With Beatrix nn Tiggy as a close second, I think Tiggy would be so darling with your kiddos!

As a sibling to your kiddos, I’d rank them from favorite to least favorite: [name_f]Cleo[/name_f], [name_f]Ines[/name_f], [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], [name_f]Vita[/name_f], and [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f][name_f][/name_f].
[name_f][/name_f]
For my own preferences, I’d rank them from favorite to least favorite: [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], [name_f]Cleo[/name_f], [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f], [name_f]Ines[/name_f], and [name_f]Vita[/name_f][name_f][/name_f].
[name_f][/name_f]
If I were adding a sibling to your list organically, I’d go with: [name_f]Fifer[/name_f][name_f][/name_f].

I like:
Inès - but it sometimes doesn’t sound as good in English speaking contexts so not sure would use
Cleo - but only if it was your last so first and last had an O ending two syllable
Xanthe - I think this name suits the best probably and it has a lot of staying power as a name
Beatrix - I like but I don’t love Bea for some reason and think it’s almost too cute cottagecore for your more Euro chic set.
Vita - like but a little too harsh sounding for me.
Girl - Romy (but already suggested, so Daphne)
Boy - Felix

[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] (adore, but feels a little different from Jun0, K!t, An0uk, and S@sha? [name_f][/name_f] Would definitely still work though and [name_f]Bea[/name_f] and [name_f]Tiggy[/name_f] are both amazing)

One name I would add:
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Hero[/name_f]! [name_f][/name_f] 
[name_f][/name_f]
But if it’s not usable… then maybe [name_f]Vera[/name_f] or [name_f]Hera[/name_f]? [name_f][/name_f] [name_m]Or[/name_m] [name_f]Mira[/name_f]

[name_f]My[/name_f] preferences for a fifth sibling would be:
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Ines[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Cleo[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Vita[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Xanthe[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Ines[/name_f], [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] and [name_f]Vita[/name_f] all hit the right notes as chic and tailored choices. [name_f]Ines[/name_f] gets you a different ending sound, [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] repeats but is more lively and fun, [name_f]Vita[/name_f] looks a little similar to [name_m]Kit[/name_m] visually and is less familiar so drops down to third.
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] and [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] feel like style departures, although not significant ones. [name_f]Juno[/name_f] and [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] work nicely but [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] feels a lot bolder than any of the siblings.
[name_f][/name_f]
I would add [name_f]Hebe[/name_f].

@Greyblue[name_f][/name_f] That is my hesitation with [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] too, otherwise it would be the favourite I think. [name_f]Olwen[/name_f] is interesting! I do love -wen names but have never really considered them for myself [name_f][/name_f]- one to ponder for sure.
[name_f][/name_f]
@Nessie4[name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Romy[/name_f] is lovely!
[name_f][/name_f]
@tori101[name_f][/name_f] I really love the meaning of [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] too, plus the sharp X ending. [name_f]Delphi[/name_f] is absolutely gorgeous but it is my cousin’s name. What are the chances?!
[name_f][/name_f]
@tallemaja[name_f][/name_f] I love the sun emoji for [name_f]Ines[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- no more description needed! I feel the same way about it but it’s been interesting reading these comments that some find it more plain. [name_f]Opal[/name_f] is a great suggestion.
[name_f][/name_f]
@readingreverie[name_f][/name_f] I loved reading your two separate rankings [name_f][/name_f]- super interesting. [name_f]Fifer[/name_f] is fabulous!
[name_f][/name_f]
@EloiseT[name_f][/name_f] Is it [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] or just [name_f]Bea[/name_f] that you find different stylistically? I have the same slight hesitation but think the X ending gives it a bit more oomph. [name_f]Love[/name_f] [name_m]Felix[/name_m] (on my boy list!) and [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] is pretty.
[name_f][/name_f]
@ashthedreamer[name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Hero[/name_f] is still such a GP of mine! I would love to use it but wonder if the repeated O ending would be even more obvious with such a statement-making name as [name_f]Hero[/name_f]. It’s definitely still on the borderline of my usable list. From your suggestions I like [name_f]Mira[/name_f] a lot.

@kachenka[name_f][/name_f] I love the streamlined-ness of [name_f]Ines[/name_f], [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] and [name_f]Vita[/name_f] too. With quite a long surname I do prefer light, bright firsts. I adore [name_f]Hebe[/name_f] and actually it is a family name for me going back several generations, so definitely one to consider.
[name_f][/name_f]
@Suzannah[name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Clea[/name_f] is very pretty!
[name_f][/name_f]
@Fabfitfun77[name_f][/name_f] I adore [name_f]Ramona[/name_f] and it was actually a strong contender for [name_f]Anouk[/name_f], so perhaps time to bring it back to the table!

[name_f][/name_f]-
[name_f]Vita[/name_f][name_f][/name_f] – loving her bright, zippy sound and international feel, she blends so well with the others!
[name_f][/name_f]-
[name_f]Ines[/name_f][name_f][/name_f] – such a chic sound, but also a warm, cottage-y vibe
[name_f][/name_f]-
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f][name_f][/name_f] – adore the nicknames [name_f]Tiggy[/name_f] & [name_f]Bea[/name_f], and the contrast of the “x” with the rest of this soft literary name really fits the set!
[name_f][/name_f]-
[name_f]Cleo[/name_f][name_f][/name_f] – would’ve ranked higher but personally the repeating -o endings of J & [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] bother me a little bit, though otherwise I adore her sharp mystique
[name_f][/name_f]-
[name_f]Xanthe[/name_f][name_f][/name_f] – though she feels a little less familiar than your other names, I love Xanthe’s bright, fierce sound!
