Hello - I have one daughter named [name]Maren[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] and am interested in your suggestions for sibling names for both genders. DH and I tend to like simple names (last name is a mouthful!) and uncommon but still heard of.
Her name was pretty much set in stone, so we didn’t have many leftovers on the girls side. We prefer feminine but not frilly for girls (i.e., [name]Lydia[/name], [name]Carys[/name], [name]Elle[/name]). I love names like [name]Ava[/name] and [name]Olivia[/name] but would never use them due to popularity.
On the boys side, we like strong classic names but the usual suspects ([name]Jack[/name], [name]William[/name], [name]Henry[/name]) are sounding a little “stale” to me.
Interested in your thoughts…what works stylistically with [name]Maren[/name]? [name]TIA[/name]!
I love [name]Maren[/name], its one of my own favourites (with the [name]Marin[/name] spelling) and I think you picked a fabulous name for your eldest daughter
My favourite sibling names for [name]Maren[/name] would be: [name]Naomi[/name], [name]Cosette[/name], [name]Bronte[/name] & [name]Gwyneth[/name] in particular.
My absolute favorite would be [name]Camille[/name]! I think it has the same vintage feel, both feminine and not to frilly, exactly the complement you need for [name]Maren[/name]!
Boys are harder.I think my top choices with [name]Maren[/name] would be [name]Nathan[/name], [name]Harrison[/name], [name]Abbott[/name] and [name]Hunter[/name]. All strong masculine names, that would be great fits for [name]Maren[/name]!
I’ve never considered [name]Camille[/name] but it does sound great with [name]Maren[/name]!
I also like the suggestions of [name]Piper[/name], [name]Willa[/name] and [name]Bryony[/name]. On the boys side, I love [name]Harrison[/name] and [name]August[/name]!
I have a friend named [name]Lorraine[/name] [name]Alice[/name] that has a younger sister named [name]Maren[/name] [name]Rose[/name].
[name]Maren[/name]'s name was supposed to be [name]Aaron[/name] [name]Ross[/name] for a boy or [name]Erin[/name] [name]Rose[/name] for a girl. [name]Lorraine[/name] would introduce her mommy’s tummy to people and say that’s my [name]Erin[/name]. But because of how it came out, it sounded like that’s [name]Maren[/name]. And so it stuck.
My female vote is for [name]Lorraine[/name] and my male vote is for [name]Henry[/name] (the youngest of that sib set).
[name]Maren[/name] is a popular Scandinavian name, mostly in Denmark and Norway. Many people would therefore associate it with Scandinavian names, so it would be a good idea to consider some other Scandinavian names.
