Our first daughter is [name]Madeline[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name]. Classic, feminine, and middle name is for my grandmother. We call her [name]Maddy[/name].
So, we are thinking about #2, and I’d love your input on what you think works well. The names that I think work as a sib set (and I like) are:
[name]Claire[/name] [name]Beatrice[/name]
[name]Connor[/name] [name]Henry[/name]
I can’t stop thinking about the name [name]Sienna[/name], though. [name]Do[/name] you think [name]Sienna[/name] is too different from [name]Madeline[/name]?
What about maddison
So it would be
[name]Maddison[/name] and [name]Madeleine[/name]
I don’t think [name]Sienna[/name] is too different from [name]Madeleine[/name]. In fact, for sisters having a real individual name suggests a real separate identity and that’s a good thing, in my opinion. [name]Claire[/name] and [name]Beatrice[/name] are also beautiful and could go in either order, if you ask me.
[name]Madeline[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] is such a pretty and classic name. Although I don’t particularly think [name]Sienna[/name] goes with it if you you love it then you should go for it!
To go with [name]Madeline[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name]
[name]Matilda[/name] (nn [name]Tillie[/name] or [name]Millie[/name])
[name]Charlotte[/name] (nn [name]Charlie[/name] or [name]Lottie[/name])
[name]Imogen[/name] (nn [name]Immy[/name])
[name]Penelope[/name] (nn [name]Poppy[/name] or [name]Penny[/name])
[name]Catherine[/name] (nn [name]Cate[/name], [name]Katie[/name])
[name]Eleanor[/name] (nn [name]Ellie[/name], [name]Ella[/name])
[name]Amelia[/name]
[name]Arabella[/name]
[name]Isabeau[/name]
[name]Annabel[/name]/[name]Annabelle[/name]
I love [name]Claire[/name] [name]Beatrice[/name] ([name]Clara[/name] [name]Beatrice[/name] might have a better flow to me, but it’s great as is) with [name]Madeline[/name]! [name]Connor[/name] [name]Henry[/name] is pretty good, though I find its DA-Dum DA-Dum rhythm a little dull. I’d like [name]Connor[/name] [name]Matthias[/name] or [name]Connor[/name] [name]James[/name] better myself.
I don’t really care for [name]Sienna[/name] (it makes me think of the minivan), but I think [name]Sierra[/name]'s all right. I think it’s okay for [name]Madeline[/name] and [name]Sienna[/name] to be of different styles; the girls will make their names what you think of anyway.
That being said, I think your gut first choices are spot-on.
