Sibling for Oscar

Name Advice
1

[name_m]Just[/name_m] found out we are expecting baby #2! DS is [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] [name_u]Rhys[/name_u] and last name is long, Italian and sounds like Pannobello.

Our name criteria:

  1. Must be unpopular, but familiar (hopefully no other kids in their class, but also don’t have to spell it out for everyone they meet)
  2. Must be max. 3 syllables (last name is a mouthful)
  3. Must sound good in English and [name_m]French[/name_m] (we live in [name_m]Quebec[/name_m])

[name_m]Will[/name_m] be paired with a Welsh middle name. Boy middle name TBD, girl would be [name_f]Myfanwy[/name_f] (muh-van-wee).

Some names that we like…

GIRLS
[name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_u]Clare[/name_u] (my mom’s maiden name)
[name_f]Anne[/name_f] (but I don’t like the way it sounds with [name_f]Myfanwy[/name_f])
[name_f]Giada[/name_f] (bad match for Oscar?
Gloria

BOYS
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m] (ending too similar to be paired with [name_m]Oscar[/name_m]?)
[name_m]Alec[/name_m]
[name_u]Jude[/name_u]
[name_m]George[/name_m] (was always my #2 boy name, but damn [name_m]Will[/name_m] and [name_f]Kate[/name_f])

So what do you think of our list? What other names should be considered? Sibling pairing is very important to me.

I really love [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] and [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] as brothers, even though their ending are somewhat similar. [name_f]IMO[/name_f] they are not SO similar that its sounds odd. [name_m]George[/name_m] and [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] are lovely together as well but if many people feel as you do, there may be fewer than you think. [name_m]Alec[/name_m] and [name_u]Jude[/name_u] just don’t seem to fit with [name_m]Oscar[/name_m], seem nicknamey and are probably more popular than [name_m]George[/name_m].

From your girls list I really love [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_f]Gloria[/name_f]. They both seem to sound great with [name_m]Oscar[/name_m].

[name_m]Oscar[/name_m] [name_u]Rhys[/name_u] and [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] Daffyd (for example, but its my favorite)
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m] [name_u]Rhys[/name_u] and [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Myfanwy[/name_f]
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m] [name_u]Rhys[/name_u] and [name_f]Gloria[/name_f] [name_f]Myfanwy[/name_f]

I love [name_f]Rose[/name_f] also (I also love [name_f]Alice[/name_f] with [name_m]Oscar[/name_m])
I agree [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] is lovely with [name_m]Oscar[/name_m]. (I don’t like [name_u]Jude[/name_u] with [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] and would also not use [name_m]George[/name_m] for the same reasons as you-but if you can live with it [name_m]George[/name_m] sounds nice too)!
[name_m]Alec[/name_m] works I think also.
I also [name_f]LOVE[/name_f] [name_m]Angus[/name_m] with [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] :slight_smile:
