Siblings for Drew and Jake

General Name Discussion
1

I’d love to hear some suggestions for what would make a good sibset with our boys [name_u]Drew[/name_u] and [name_m]Jake[/name_m] style wise. I have thought of a few things, but not fallen in love with anything yet.

I tend to favor shorter names (2 syllables or less) with a timeless, but not too serious feel. Something that both a child and a older person could wear easily.

I think I am having problems because I usually like names that are a little less popular, but we went with family names so now I feel that in order to flow, we will need to stick to names that are very popular and I just can’t connect with them.

Some of the boys names I have thought of are:
[name_u]Owen[/name_u]
[name_u]Ryan[/name_u]
[name_m]Nolan[/name_m]
[name_m]Wyatt[/name_m]
[name_m]Luke[/name_m]
[name_m]Nathan[/name_m]
[name_m]Deacon[/name_m]

Girls:
[name_u]Harper[/name_u]
[name_f]Lainey[/name_f]
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u]
[name_u]Jules[/name_u]
[name_u]Merritt[/name_u]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f]

[name_f]TIA[/name_f]!

I thought of [name_u]Ryan[/name_u] immediately! [name_u]Owen[/name_u] seems a bit more vintage than [name_u]Drew[/name_u] and [name_m]Jake[/name_m] to me. I really like [name_m]Nathan[/name_m] and [name_m]Luke[/name_m].

With [name_u]Drew[/name_u] and [name_m]Jake[/name_m], I like:
[name_u]Chase[/name_u]
[name_u]Flynn[/name_u]
[name_m]Nate[/name_m]

I love [name_f]Lainey[/name_f] from your girls list, would you use it as a nn for [name_f]Elaina[/name_f] or [name_u]Delaney[/name_u]?
[name_u]Harper[/name_u], [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] and [name_u]Jules[/name_u] feel a bit masculine to me, although [name_u]Jules[/name_u] would be a nice nn for [name_f]Juliet[/name_f].

With [name_u]Drew[/name_u] and [name_m]Jake[/name_m], I like:
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
[name_f]Zoe[/name_f]
[name_f]Macy[/name_f]
[name_f]Ellie[/name_f]
[name_u]Lexi[/name_u]
[name_f]Jada[/name_f]
[name_f]Eve[/name_f]

I love [name_m]Nathan[/name_m] (for obviously reasons :))
I think [name_u]Drew[/name_u], [name_m]Jake[/name_m] & [name_m]Nathan[/name_m] would be great!
I also think [name_u]Ryan[/name_u] fits well.
[name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_m]Liam[/name_m]? [name_u]Evan[/name_u]? [name_u]Reid[/name_u]?

For the girls, I think [name_f]Violet[/name_f] works best.

I think [name_u]Owen[/name_u] or [name_u]Harper[/name_u] from your lists are great choices.

@grackym - [name_f]Lainey[/name_f] would probably just be [name_f]Lainey[/name_f], but hubby isn’t convinced yet. [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], [name_f]Macy[/name_f], and [name_u]Lexi[/name_u] have been used by family or friends. :frowning:

@lovemysweeties - I love [name_f]Elle[/name_f], but DH doesn’t (he thinks of legally blonde) and he has also nixed [name_m]Liam[/name_m]. So funny but his uncle [name_u]Noel[/name_u] was the inspiration for [name_m]Nolan[/name_m] :slight_smile: Of the ones you recommended I like [name_u]Eden[/name_u], [name_m]Cole[/name_m], [name_m]Ethan[/name_m], and [name_u]Reid[/name_u].

@babymama002 I like [name_u]Evan[/name_u], but I do have a cousin named [name_u]Evan[/name_u] (granted I never see them). I love [name_f]Violet[/name_f] too, though our last name is Vice so it is VERY alliterative and I’m not sure if I like that or not.

@sbm602 - Those are my personal top two right now. My only thing with [name_u]Owen[/name_u] right now is that [name_m]Jake[/name_m] [name_u]Owen[/name_u] is a country singer (that I think is highly overrated) so if someone makes a comment about our kids being named [name_u]Drew[/name_u], [name_m]Jake[/name_m] and [name_u]Owen[/name_u] ,“Oh! like [name_m]Jake[/name_m] [name_u]Owen[/name_u]” I think id be annoyed…I’m sure Id get over it though lol.
