Hello all! I need some help coming up with sibling names for [name]Connor[/name] [name]Joseph[/name] and [name]Claire[/name] [name]Elisabeth[/name]. Last name is [name]Egan[/name]. I tend to like Irish-sounding names for boys, classic/feminine names for girls, and surname-y names for both. I happen to really like a lot of C names, but I don’t necessarily want to go down that route with the entire sibset. What are your favorite boy and girl names from my list below? I also would love new suggestions!
My favourites are [name]Emma[/name], [name]Louisa[/name] and [name]Madeline[/name]. ([name]Connor[/name], [name]Claire[/name] and [name]Emma[/name] would be lovely)
From the boys, I like [name]Henry[/name], [name]Lachlan[/name], [name]Callum[/name] and [name]Jack[/name].
And a few suggestions (I think another C name would be cute):
From your girls list I like: [name]Audrey[/name], [name]Emmeline[/name], [name]Emilia[/name] and [name]Hannah[/name]
Some other names: [name]Violet[/name], [name]Evangeline[/name] (nn [name]Emmy[/name]), [name]Savannah[/name], [name]Rosalie[/name], [name]April[/name]
From your boys list I like: [name]Henry[/name], [name]Jack[/name], [name]Callum[/name], [name]Lachlan[/name] and [name]Liam[/name]
Some other names: [name]Maxwell[/name], [name]Logan[/name], [name]Ian[/name], [name]Trent[/name], [name]Brandon[/name], [name]Rory[/name]
With the surname of [name]Egan[/name], I would avoid any name with a pronounced “ee” sound ([name]Liam[/name], [name]Cecily[/name], [name]Eloise[/name], [name]Emilia[/name], [name]Audrey[/name]) or that ends in a similar way ([name]Lachlan[/name], [name]Ryan[/name], [name]Nolan[/name], [name]Declan[/name]). That’s the trouble with Irish names - most of them end in the same way as [name]Egan[/name]. Your surname begins with a vowel so it’s a difficult name to work with because many first names run into it (especially ones that end in consonants).
From your list, I like…
[name]Emma[/name]
[name]Grace[/name]
[name]Miles[/name] (this name runs into the surname but that’s obviously not a deal-breaker if you already have a [name]Connor[/name] and [name]Claire[/name]. Stylistically, it’s a great “fit”).
[name]Jack[/name] (has the same fn and ln blending but [name]Jack[/name] [name]Egan[/name] sounds so cool)
[name]Callum[/name]
[name]Audrey[/name] [name]Louisa[/name]
[name]Emma[/name] [name]Cecily[/name]
[name]Grace[/name] [name]Emmeline[/name]
[name]Hannah[/name] [name]Eloise[/name] ([name]Eloise[/name] [name]Hannah[/name] sounds better, but [name]Hannah[/name] is the better fit stylistically with [name]Connor[/name] and [name]Claire[/name])
[name]Connor[/name] and [name]Claire[/name] sound lovely together! Out of your list, I like [name]Emma[/name], [name]Grace[/name], [name]Hadley[/name], [name]Hannah[/name], and [name]Kate[/name] for girls and [name]Callum[/name], [name]Henry[/name], [name]Jack[/name], and [name]Miles[/name] for boys. Here are some other ideas:
[name]Christopher[/name]- I think this sounds so dashing with [name]Egan[/name] and it fits with your other children’s names. But, there’s an actor with the same name. He isn’t very well-known, although he starred in Letters to [name]Juliet[/name].
[name]Thomas[/name]- [name]Love[/name] this!
[name]James[/name]- Very handsome.
[name]Cooper[/name]- A guilty pleasure of mine. But I think it fits style wise and sounds fabulous with [name]Egan[/name].
[name]Daniel[/name]- I like this too!
[name]Caleb[/name]- It sounds kind of Irish! Plus, it makes a great sibling set.
[name]Nathaniel[/name]- The long form is stunning with your surname and nickname [name]Nate[/name] is pretty cute too.
[name]Avery[/name]- I’ve always loved this on a little girl. It has that surname-y feel you like.
[name]Harper[/name]- The same as [name]Avery[/name].
[name]Lavinia[/name]- I think [name]Mischa[/name] might have mentioned this one already, but this one is great. It sounds very girly and flowery to me, which I love. It’s a little different than your other choices, but seems to fit at the same time.
[name]Bridget[/name]- Very Irish sounding. And an adorable sister name for [name]Claire[/name].
[name]Anna[/name]- [name]One[/name] of my favorite names. [name]Anna[/name] [name]Egan[/name] is so cute!
Our tastes must be similar-- I [name]LOVE[/name] your names and a lot off of your list! Here are my favorits:
[name]Connor[/name] [name]Joseph[/name], [name]Claire[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name], and…
I would kind of love to see another “C” just so they all seem cohesive. What about [name]Connor[/name], [name]Claire[/name], and [name]Clark[/name]? or [name]Connor[/name], [name]Claire[/name], and [name]Coralie[/name]/[name]Cora[/name]? Good luck! Whatever you choose it will be great!
First of all, I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Connor[/name] and [name]Claire[/name]! What a fantastic sibling combination!
Girls:
[name]Audrey[/name]- way too common
[name]Cecily[/name]- i don’t really like this one
[name]Emma[/name]- beautiful
[name]Emmeline[/name] (NN [name]Emmy[/name])- one of my absolute favorites, so beautiful and goes well for both a baby and adult
[name]Emilia[/name] (NN [name]Emmy[/name])- absolutely lovely
[name]Eloise[/name] (NN [name]Elsie[/name])- not a fan
[name]Grace[/name]- [name]WAY[/name] too common, but pretty for a middle name
[name]Hadley[/name]- not my cup of tea
[name]Hannah[/name]- very pretty, a bit too common back in the 90s but she’d be a little more of a stand-out today
[name]Hollis[/name]- this is a last name, not a first name, in my opinion. [name]Holly[/name] would be prettier.
[name]Kate[/name]- [name]LOVE[/name]!
[name]Louisa[/name]- sounds too old lady
[name]Madeline[/name]- very lovely
Boys:
[name]Benjamin[/name]- so cute!
[name]Callan[/name]- hmmm, maybe
[name]Callum[/name]- not my cup of tea
[name]Camden[/name]- this is also a last name
[name]Declan[/name]- just sounds… blech. Blechlan. XD
[name]Henry[/name]- super cute for a baby and classic for when he grows up
[name]Jack[/name]- super cute for a baby and classic for when he grows up also
[name]Lachlan[/name]- Another name that makes me think blech. Might be hard for him when he’s trying to learn to spell phonetically.
[name]Landon[/name]- I know this name’s been around for years, but it sounds like a made-up version of [name]Brandon[/name]. it sounds cool, but made-up.
[name]Liam[/name]- Not my cup of tea, but it’s not a bad name.
[name]Miles[/name]- Reminds me of [name]Rose[/name]'s boyfriend on the [name]Golden[/name] Girls.
[name]Nolan[/name]- [name]Love[/name]! Particularly because of [name]Christopher[/name] [name]Nolan[/name]'s Batman trilogy.
[name]Ryan[/name]- Very common, but cute. A good option.
[name]Connor[/name] and [name]Claire[/name] are a great sibset!
From your list I like [name]Grace[/name] or [name]Kate[/name]. I think another one syllable girl name would be nice with [name]Claire[/name] and a K name instead of another C. [name]Kate[/name] is perfect! None of the boy names flow well with your last name. [name]Both[/name] [name]Connor[/name] and [name]Claire[/name] share the letter R. Maybe an R name? [name]Ryan[/name] would work, but [name]Riley[/name] might sound better.
Other names that I like with [name]Connor[/name] and [name]Claire[/name]:
[name]Kathleen[/name], [name]Kathryn[/name] or [name]Katherine[/name] nn [name]Kate[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Rose[/name]
[name]Rebecca[/name]
[name]Natalie[/name]
