Sibling names that don't go together

Just don’t do something like [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] and [name_m]Clyde[/name_m] lol Otherwise, it doesn’t matters how well sibling names “go” together. Most siblings I come across don’t really “match” and most people don’t seem to care except on naming sites like here.

I know that matching sibling names really don’t matter in the scheme of things, but to my namenerd self they do! I’d want my kids’ names to go together really well, but I know that for a lot of people it’s about going for the name that feels right to them. It does still annoy me though when I see a sibset and there’s just one odd one out — it makes you wonder if the child ever feels left out.

I know somebody who named her first daughter [name_u]Arie[/name_u]!!e (my absolute fav) and then named her second [name_u]Kay[/name_u]!a. The names feel super mismatched to me personally, because [name_u]Arie[/name_u]!!e is so magical and [name_u]Kay[/name_u]!a is so girl-next-door, but I’m pretty sure that’s just how I see my ultimate favourite.

In my family, my brothers have extremely common names (so common they’d be [name_u]Mason[/name_u] and [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] today), while my sisters and I all were given extremely difficult names, so unheard of that people frequently get them completely wrong (like literally not even close). That was a weird choice from my parents lol.
