Does [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] and [name_u]Waverly[/name_u] make a good sibset? And why?
I love girly names with substance and history ([name_f]Genevieve[/name_f], [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f]). [name_f]My[/name_f] DH likes feminine names that are sometimes gender neutral and very modern ([name_u]Harper[/name_u], [name_u]Avery[/name_u]). That’s how we came to the compromise “[name_f]Scarlett[/name_f]” for our first born. [name_f]Isla[/name_f] has been the top choice for us now, but we are both not sold on it.
Today I mentioned [name_u]Waverly[/name_u], and he loves it. I’m not convinced. What do you guys think?
They are okay to me.
I don’t see [name_f]Waverley[/name_f]/[name_u]Waverly[/name_u] as a very vintage name, probably due to it’s similarity to modern, unisex names like [name_u]Avery[/name_u].
[name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] is a somewhat classic name, maybe a more modern classic but not very trendy sounding.
If you wanted the same style for sisters, I probably wouldn’t go with said sibset but as sister names they’re quite nice.
I have mixed feelings about [name_u]Waverly[/name_u].
When I was born, my parents top 3 girls names were [name_u]Allison[/name_u], [name_f]Erica[/name_f] & [name_u]Waverly[/name_u] (in that order). They chose [name_u]Allison[/name_u]. When I was little, I thought [name_u]Allison[/name_u] was boring and dreamed about having been named [name_u]Waverly[/name_u]. A year or so ago, I was talking with my friends about what they had almost been named. They had never heard of [name_u]Waverly[/name_u] before, and laughed themselves silly when they heard the name. Their comments were “Like waves from the ocean?” and “Like Wizards of [name_u]Waverly[/name_u] Place?” something like that. I rolled my eyes. To this day, they sometimes say “Hey [name_u]Waverly[/name_u]!” When they’re in a joking around mood. I do like [name_u]Waverly[/name_u], but don’t think it’s an easy name to wear.
Despite what others say, I like [name_u]Waverly[/name_u] and [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] together. Sure, stylistically they aren’t perfect, but I think they go well together. [name_u]Unique[/name_u], but totally recognizable. [name_f]IMO[/name_f] they go better than [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] & [name_f]Isla[/name_f]. [name_u]Waverly[/name_u] just sounds right with [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f]. The names are very different, but are equally versatile, unique and modern yet vintage sounding. I love them together!
[name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] is lovely. I really dislike [name_u]Waverly[/name_u]. It isn’t as pretty, feminine, or spunky like [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f]. I would love to see these instead:
[name_f]Stella[/name_f]
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u]
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]
[name_f]Willa[/name_f]
[name_f]Audrey[/name_f]
[name_f]Tessa[/name_f]
[name_f]Eloise[/name_f]
