Sibling to Anya

[mrsbardgett]

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] all I’m new to Nameberry so please be kind! We have a 4 year old called [name_f]Anya[/name_f] and are trying, so we’re trying to think of sibling names that go well.

Here’s our suggestions, we are desperate to hear some more ideas! It’s so hard naming these tiny humans.

Boys:
[name_u]Asa[/name_u]
[name_u]Blake[/name_u]
[name_u]Rhodes[/name_u]
[name_u]Brooks[/name_u]
[name_m]Soren[/name_m]
[name_m]Elio[/name_m]
[name_m]Enzo[/name_m]
[name_u]Wren[/name_u]
[name_u]Wesley[/name_u]
[name_u]Idris[/name_u] (too much like the actor?)
Alden/Arden
[name_u]Atlas[/name_u]

Girls:
[name_f]Maeva[/name_f]
[name_f]Junia[/name_f]
[name_f]Orla[/name_f]
[name_f]Lillia[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucia[/name_f]
[name_f]Carina[/name_f]

[name_m]Soren[/name_m], [name_m]Elio[/name_m], and [name_u]Wesley[/name_u] for boys and [name_f]Orla[/name_f], [name_f]Maeva[/name_f], and [name_f]Merryn[/name_f] for girls are my favorites!

Absolutely love your list, I struggled to pick a favourite from each, particularly the girl names but I went for …

[name_f]Anya[/name_f] & [name_f]Merryn[/name_f]
[name_f]Anya[/name_f] & [name_u]Blake[/name_u]

[Greyblue]

[name_f]Anya[/name_f] is such a lovely name, and with it, I’m really liking: [name_u]Blake[/name_u], [name_u]Brooks[/name_u], [name_m]Soren[/name_m] and [name_m]Elio[/name_m].

[name_u]Blake[/name_u] and [name_f]Anya[/name_f] make an unexpected but stylish feeling set.

[name_u]Brooks[/name_u] and [name_f]Anya[/name_f] share a similar vibe, with spark and style.

[name_m]Soren[/name_m] has a rugged and warm feel, international like [name_f]Anya[/name_f].

[name_m]Elio[/name_m] feels similar but is also sunny and bright.

A few additional ideas: [name_m]Bram[/name_m], [name_m]Stellan[/name_m], [name_m]Sylvan[/name_m], [name_u]Jude[/name_u], [name_u]Luca[/name_u], [name_m]Felix[/name_m], [name_u]Beckett[/name_u], [name_u]Evan[/name_u], [name_u]Emmett[/name_u], [name_m]Ronan[/name_m]

I also really like [name_f]Lillia[/name_f], [name_f]Orla[/name_f], [name_f]Elowen[/name_f], [name_f]Eira[/name_f], [name_f]Autumn[/name_f], [name_f]Merryn[/name_f] and [name_u]Ember[/name_u]!

[name_f]Lilia[/name_f] is gentle and sweet, [name_f]Orla[/name_f] is sparky and distinct, [name_f]Eira[/name_f] is sharp and lovely, [name_f]Merryn[/name_f] is unexpected and bright, [name_u]Ember[/name_u] is stylish and fresh and [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] is warm and mystical.

Some additional ideas: [name_f]Nadia[/name_f], [name_f]Elise[/name_f], [name_f]Cassia[/name_f], [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], [name_f]Linnea[/name_f], [name_f]Suvi[/name_f], [name_f]Twyla[/name_f], [name_f]Opal[/name_f], [name_f]Niamh[/name_f]

[name_u]Welcome[/name_u] to nameberry

Firstly [name_f]Anya[/name_f] is gorgeous! Also you have a lovely selection of names so no wonder you’re struggling to whittle down your shortlist.

I really like the idea of leaning into this European vibe that [name_f]Anya[/name_f] has so for me I really like [name_m]Soren[/name_m] & [name_m]Elio[/name_m]. They are my two absolute favourites as a brother for [name_f]Anya[/name_f].

Some other brother ideas could be [name_m]Hugo[/name_m], [name_u]Luca[/name_u], [name_m]Otto[/name_m], [name_u]Florian[/name_u], [name_u]Leon[/name_u], [name_m]Magnus[/name_m], [name_m]Ivo[/name_m] & [name_m]Bram[/name_m].

For girls I love a lot of options as a sibling for [name_f]Anya[/name_f]! However I absolutely adore [name_f]Lillia[/name_f] (prefer [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] spelling wise), [name_f]Rosa[/name_f] and [name_f]Eleni[/name_f]. These three are just perfect.

Some other sister ideas could be Greta/Gretel, [name_f]Margaux[/name_f], [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f], [name_f]Delphi[/name_f], [name_f]Ione[/name_f], [name_f]Colette[/name_f] and [name_f]Nina[/name_f].

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps & wishing you all the best with your TTC journey

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

[name_f]Anya[/name_f] is so lovely!

Here are my thoughts on your lists:

Boys-

Asa-I love love love [name_u]Asa[/name_u]. It’s one of my very favorites. [name_u]Perfect[/name_u] balance of strong manly and gentle. The only problem is that I feel like it’s probably way too close to [name_f]Anya[/name_f].

Blake-Meh, I’m not a huge fan of this one. It’s just hard not to imagine it on a bratty snobby kid. And it’s a bit dated.

Rhodes-I don’t mind the sound of it; maybe it seems a little last name-y. I’m just not used to it, but it’s not bad.

Brooks-This has a similar vibe as [name_u]Rhodes[/name_u], but [name_u]Brooks[/name_u] is way more popular and trendy. Probably because of the golfer, who I hear is kind of a jerk.

Soren-I like this a lot with [name_f]Anya[/name_f] & in general. It’s kind of mystical yet strong. It’s easy to say & spell, but not very popular.

Elio-I don’t know. I love [name_u]Elliott[/name_u], so [name_m]Elio[/name_m] looks incomplete to me. I can’t figure out where to emphasize the syllables either when saying it out loud.

Enzo-I think this is cool. I like it better as a nn for [name_m]Lorenzo[/name_m], but [name_f]Anya[/name_f] & [name_m]Enzo[/name_m] feel more natural.

Wren-I’m not a big fan of this, but it’s definitely more popular for girls. I just don’t like the way it sounds that much for girls or boys.

Wesley-This is charming. Good balance of posh & kind of cowboy-y.

Idris-Neat name, but it does feel very connected to the actor. I don’t think he’s a bad guy, but it’s still a strong association.

Alden/Arden-I like [name_u]Alden[/name_u] more; I think that [name_u]Arden[/name_u] is used more for girls; even though I love the nn [name_u]Ari[/name_u]. [name_f]Anya[/name_f] & [name_u]Alden[/name_u] may be a little close.

Atlas-I love [name_u]Atlas[/name_u]! You’ve book ended this list with my two favorites. And even though it starts with an ‘A’, it doesn’t have any other similar sounds as [name_f]Anya[/name_f] but totally has a similar vibe. Sort of exotic and charming.

Here are a few boy ideas you may like:

[name_u]Ari[/name_u]

[name_u]Asher[/name_u]

[name_u]Basil[/name_u]

[name_m]Bastian[/name_m]

[name_m]Caspar[/name_m]

[name_m]Caius[/name_m]

[name_u]Dylan[/name_u]

[name_m]Dashiell[/name_m]

[name_u]Ira[/name_u]

[name_u]Jude[/name_u]

[name_u]Koa[/name_u]

[name_u]Luca[/name_u]

[name_u]Max[/name_u]

[name_u]Milo[/name_u]

[name_u]Nico[/name_u]

[name_u]River[/name_u]

[name_m]Rafael[/name_m]

[name_u]Shiloh[/name_u]

[name_m]Zev[/name_m]

Girls-

Maeva-I just love [name_f]Maeve[/name_f], so [name_f]Maeva[/name_f] looks and feels a bit awkward to me.

Junia-Ooh, I like this! I don’t see it on lists much, but it’s darling and feels very cohesive with [name_f]Anya[/name_f]. And the nns [name_f]Junie[/name_f] or [name_u]Juno[/name_u] are so cute.

Orla-I like it in theory, but just am not personally into the way it looks or sounds. Not sure why. It’s different & easy and feminine but not too fussy.

[name_f]Lillia[/name_f]- I think I could die happy if I met sisters named [name_f]Anya[/name_f] & [name_f]Lillia[/name_f].

Lucia-This is beautiful too. Kind of like [name_f]Lillia[/name_f], but a little more dramatic maybe? The only thing that I don’t like is that it has three different pronunciations, and that’s confusing.

Carina-Feels like a name that I should like, but am generally just not a fan of ‘Car’ names.

Marlowe-I don’t like this one much. Reminds of me of Marlboro.

Elowen-Ooh, so pretty and fairy sounding but also sleek and elegant. [name_u]Love[/name_u] the nns [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] & [name_f]Winnie[/name_f] too.

Liana-Not a huge fan of this one, and also think that it’s too close to [name_f]Anya[/name_f].

Elin-Kind of pretty. I think that the spelling and pronunciation is sort of tricky.

Eira-Same as above.

Eleni-That’s fun and kind of pixie-ish and spunky.

Autumn-I don’t mind it. I feels warm and interesting, but I don’t love the sound as much as some of the others.

Ember-Cool is theory, but not as much said out loud.

Merryn-I like [name_f]Maren[/name_f], but this spelling looks a bit convoluted.

Myla-I think that [name_f]Anya[/name_f] & [name_f]Mila[/name_f] would be gorgeous, but I don’t like the ‘y’ here.

Rosa-I love a lot of [name_f]Rose[/name_f] names, but [name_f]Rosa[/name_f] feels the most serious in my opinion and I can’t get into it. I like just [name_f]Rose[/name_f] or [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] best.

Here are a few girl ideas-

[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]

[name_f]Clover[/name_f]

[name_f]Delia[/name_f]

[name_f]Estella[/name_f]

[name_f]Freya[/name_f]

[name_f]Stella[/name_f]

[name_u]Vida[/name_u]

[name_f]Violet[/name_f]

[name_f]Zella[/name_f]
