I’d love some inspiration for brother and sister names for our DD [name_f]Audrey[/name_f] [name_f]Sofia[/name_f]. First and middle name combos in particular would be greatly appreciated! We have lots of names we like but struggling to decide on beautiful combinations. Also most of the names we like are quite popular… so I’d love some less popular suggestions.
For girls names we love classic and feminine names - some of our favourites are [name_f]Grace[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], [name_f]Evie[/name_f], [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], [name_f]Olivia[/name_f], [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f]… and boys we like [name_m]Oliver[/name_m], [name_m]Archie[/name_m], [name_m]William[/name_m], [name_m]Jack[/name_m], [name_u]Jude[/name_u], [name_m]Hugo[/name_m], [name_m]Theodore[/name_m].
For girls I gravitate towards short middle names like [name_f]Grace[/name_f], [name_f]Mae[/name_f], [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Eve[/name_f] but these all seem pretty common…
[name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] would sound adorable, if you would use [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] as a middle!
I want to suggest:
[name_f]Annabeth[/name_f] - a lot like [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] and less popular, a name of a character in a book series, which while quite popular, wouldnt mean that the name is too connected to the book character because [name_f]Anna[/name_f] and [name_f]Beth[/name_f] are both very familiar
Other [name_f]Anna[/name_f]- names like [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f], [name_f]Annalie[/name_f] or [name_f]Annelie[/name_f], [name_f]Annaliese[/name_f] or [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f], [name_f]Anais[/name_f]
[name_f]Olive[/name_f] - As cute as [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] but less popular
[name_f]Olivet[/name_f] - A very rare name, but quite beautiful!
[name_f]Livia[/name_f] - Latin name which would make [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] a little more special
[name_f]Opal[/name_f] - A short gem name like [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], and a very cute and unusual choice
[name_f]Lilith[/name_f] - Beautiful and a lot like [name_f]Lily[/name_f]!
Other [name_f]Lil[/name_f]- names like [name_f]Lilian[/name_f], [name_f]Lilianna[/name_f], [name_f]Lilo[/name_f], [name_f]Lilah[/name_f], maybe [name_f]Leilani[/name_f]?
[name_f]Charlene[/name_f]
[name_f]Evanthe[/name_f] and [name_f]Evgenia[/name_f] - Greek names with the cute nn [name_f]Evie[/name_f]
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_u]Jude[/name_u] is a really cute combo!
[name_m]Jack[/name_m] reminds me of Sawn/[name_m]Sean[/name_m] and [name_u]Finn[/name_u]/[name_u]Flynn[/name_u]
[name_m]Archie[/name_m] could be the nickname to [name_m]Archibald[/name_m] or [name_m]Archer[/name_m]
Not sure why, but [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] reminds me of [name_m]Otto[/name_m]
[name_u]Theo[/name_u] could be a name on its own, and more distinct than [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]
[name_m]William[/name_m] could be [name_m]Wilhelm[/name_m] or the Dutch [name_m]Willem[/name_m] with the nice nn [name_f]Em[/name_f]
[name_f]Audrey[/name_f] goes with pretty much all the names on your list. For a girl I’d go with [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f]/[name_f]Rose[/name_f] or [name_f]Evie[/name_f] [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f]. Another short girls middle name could be [name_f]Fleur[/name_f] or [name_f]Claire[/name_f]. For a boy [name_m]Archer[/name_m] (nn [name_m]Archie[/name_m]) [name_m]William[/name_m] gets my vote, I love that.
Outside of your list, I’ve always wanted to meet an [name_f]Audrey[/name_f] and [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f], but that’s probably too cliche. [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] is another classic as is [name_f]Catherine[/name_f], [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f] is just precious to me. For a boy [name_m]Calum[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] would be my pick.
Each name is inspired by your list ([name_f]Caroline[/name_f] for [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], [name_u]Everly[/name_u] for [name_f]Evie[/name_f], [name_m]Luke[/name_m] for [name_m]Jack[/name_m], etc…). For girls, I tried to stick with feminine, uncommon-but-classic names. Overall, I tried to stay away from totally obvious suggestions (key word, tried :/). Sorry for the long post!!!
Some combos: (be warned, I’m not the greatest with making combos)
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] (I adore [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and [name_f]Audrey[/name_f]!)
[name_u]Harmony[/name_u] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_f]Blythe[/name_f]
[name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_f]Dawn[/name_f]
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]
[name_f]Amber[/name_f] [name_f]Paige[/name_f]
[name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] [name_f]Faith[/name_f] ([name_f]Scarlett[/name_f], like [name_f]Audrey[/name_f], reminds me of old-Hollywood glamour)
This post is long enough already and I am not great at making combos for boys (plus, I’ve seen some pretty good combos already) so I’ll leave that alone. From your list, I really like [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]. [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] in particular doesn’t strike me as popular and would be very cute next to [name_f]Audrey[/name_f].
Thank you all so much for your input! Some wonderful suggestions there… I’m absolutely no closer to a decision but feel like I have some great material to work with now, so thank you
