Sibling name for Olivia and Henry

Name Advice
1

Please help! Our childrens names are:

[name]Olivia[/name] [name]Austin[/name]
[name]Henry[/name] [name]Palmer[/name]

We really, really like [name]Charles[/name] (call him [name]Charlie[/name]), but we are worried that [name]Charlie[/name] and [name]Henry[/name] sound too similar or matchy with the y/ie ending. We also like [name]Sarah[/name] (call her [name]Sadie[/name]), but again, we feel that sounds too matcy. We seem unable to get away from that ending. What do you all think? We are open to ANY suggestions. Our last name is only one sylluble and starts with a Y.

Many thanks in advance!

I forgot to suggest the option of sticking with [name]Charles[/name], but using another of its nicknames, such as [name]Chip[/name] or [name]Chas[/name]/[name]Chaz[/name].

Good luck! :slight_smile:

I dont think [name]Henry[/name] and [name]Charlie[/name] are too matchy at all… They flow well together!
[name]Charles[/name] is one of my all-time favorite boy names, however… my husband doesnt like it :S and our sons middle name is [name]Henry[/name]!
Congrats!

[name]Henry[/name] and [name]Charles[/name] ([name]Charlie[/name]) -OR-

[name]Henry[/name] and [name]George[/name]

I think these go really well, mainly because they’re the names of my own three siblings! Other boys names that work: [name]Adam[/name], [name]Finn[/name], [name]Alex[/name], [name]Oscar[/name], [name]Theo[/name], [name]Edward[/name]

If its a girl… [name]Isobel[/name], [name]Paige[/name], [name]Charlotte[/name], [name]Lauren[/name], [name]Annabel[/name], [name]Louise[/name]… go well with [name]Olivia[/name] and [name]Henry[/name] without having the same ending.
