Sibling name for Quinn

Name Advice
1

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] everyone,

We have a daughter called [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]. I adore her name and am looking for sibling names to live up to it. It was a long road to choosing it - my husband likes traditional names and I like modern names.

We just found out we’re having twins. So I need two names girl/girl girl/boy and boy/boy.

Girls names I like:
[name_u]Arden[/name_u]
[name_u]Blair[/name_u]
[name_f]Neve[/name_f]
[name_u]Peyton[/name_u]
(My husband only likes [name_u]Blair[/name_u])

Boys names I like:
[name_m]Vaughan[/name_m]
[name_m]Dawson[/name_m]
[name_u]Van[/name_u]
[name_u]Emery[/name_u]
(Husband only likes [name_m]Vaughn[/name_m])

So likely names will probably be [name_u]Blair[/name_u] and [name_m]Vaughn[/name_m] but we’ll need a second name in each gender to match

[name_u]Blaire[/name_u] and [name_m]Vaughn[/name_m] are great with [name_u]Quinn[/name_u]!

Your daughter has such a sweet name! Some suggestions for a sibling: (Many of these could work for either a boy or girl, but I have suggested these particularly for a girl, and could be first or middle options.)

[name_u]Riley[/name_u]: This is one of the first names I thought of for you. Like [name_u]Quinn[/name_u], it is modern, happy, charming, and Irish. The downside: It is far more popular than [name_u]Quinn[/name_u]. For something more unique, [name_u]Briley[/name_u] or [name_f]Bryony[/name_f] could be a great choice, with the latter having lots of history but still having a modern sound. [name_u]Bailey[/name_u] is another option.
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u]: If your husband likes names with history, and you tend to prefer modern, then this is the perfect meet-in-the-middle choice, but I wouldn’t view it as a compromise: [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] is a beautiful name. It’s tailored, has many of the sounds of [name_u]Arden[/name_u], and the strength of [name_u]Blair[/name_u].
[name_u]Emerson[/name_u]: This in particular could work for a boy or girl. When I saw [name_m]Dawson[/name_m] and [name_u]Emery[/name_u] on your boys’ list, I immediately thought of this. It is very modern, and while still unique it has picked up steam recently, but has traditional and literary ties via the poet and its old [name_m]German[/name_m] origins. It also reminds me of [name_u]Peyton[/name_u] on your girls’ list.
[name_u]Kieran[/name_u]: Another wonderful, modern-sounding yet historically rooted Irish name. It reminds me of the [name_u]Van[/name_u] on your boys’ list with the length of some of your other choices, as well as [name_u]Arden[/name_u] on your girls’ list.
[name_u]Avery[/name_u]: This choice is fashionable, beautiful, and has history but is not at all dated. It seems to me like a great combination of [name_u]Arden[/name_u] and [name_u]Peyton[/name_u].
[name_u]Blake[/name_u]: For a boy, this might be too mainstream. But for a girl, it’s modern and cool, just like [name_u]Quinn[/name_u]. It has a long history of usage, mostly for boys, but is fresher and rarer for girls. It has many of the sounds of [name_u]Blair[/name_u] that your husband likes, and also some of the sounds of [name_u]Peyton[/name_u]. Another great choice could be [name_f]Briar[/name_f].
[name_f]Maisie[/name_f]/[name_f]Maeve[/name_f]: Both of these names are very sweet and charming, like [name_u]Quinn[/name_u], and have similar roots. They are both upbeat and have modern sounds, but have been used for a long time.
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u]: See [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]. With the “[name_f]El[/name_f]-” sound so popular right now, this name feels modern, but in fact it’s a classic with a long history of use.
[name_u]Brook[/name_u]/[name_u]Brooke[/name_u]: Another modern-feeling alternative to [name_u]Blair[/name_u].
[name_f]Sadie[/name_f]: Very distinctly feminine, and I included it because of how sweet and tailored both it and [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] are. It’s also another name that sounds modern, but has lots of history. Seems like a natural middle ground between [name_f]Neve[/name_f] and [name_u]Blair[/name_u].
[name_u]Ainsley[/name_u]: Unisex, but definitely leaning more towards female, [name_u]Ainsley[/name_u] is a surname name, like [name_u]Quinn[/name_u], has great meaning and old Scottish roots, but sounds modern thanks to the “-ley” ending and the “A-” beginning. It is less popular than [name_u]Quinn[/name_u], but fairly close, and would make a perfect sister.

[name_u]Quinn[/name_u] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] &…
[name_u]Blair[/name_u] [name_f]Neve[/name_f] - Sounds perfect to me! [name_f]Neve[/name_f] means snow so it has a subtle nature tie to [name_f]Ivy[/name_f].

[name_m]Just[/name_m] my preference, but I wouldn’t choose unisex names for boy/girl twins so as not to confuse which is the boy and which is the girl. I think it may be quite annoying for them.

I think [name_u]Blake[/name_u] and [name_m]Vaughn[/name_m] go wonderfully with [name_u]Quinn[/name_u]. I like the combos [name_u]Blake[/name_u] [name_u]Avery[/name_u] and [name_m]Vaughn[/name_m] [name_u]Everett[/name_u], they share a certain je ne sais quoi you found in [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f].

If you have two girls, you could have:
[name_u]Blake[/name_u] [name_u]Avery[/name_u] & [name_u]Clare[/name_u] [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]
[name_u]Blair[/name_u] [name_u]Payton[/name_u] & [name_u]Sloane[/name_u] [name_u]Parker[/name_u]
[name_u]Shae[/name_u] [name_u]Arden[/name_u] & [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_f]Kendra[/name_f]
[name_f]Belle[/name_f] [name_u]Leighton[/name_u] & [name_u]Lane[/name_u] [name_u]Emerson[/name_u]

Or two boys:
[name_u]Kai[/name_u] [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] & [name_m]Vaughn[/name_m] [name_u]Everett[/name_u]
[name_u]Rhys[/name_u] [name_u]Avery[/name_u] & [name_m]Zane[/name_m] [name_u]Logan[/name_u]
[name_u]Vale[/name_u] [name_m]Cyprian[/name_m] & [name_u]Dane[/name_u] [name_u]Emery[/name_u]
