What sort of names would you give to the siblings of a girl named [name]Waverly[/name]? [name]How[/name] would you characterize its style as a name? My friend is thinking of using it, but she’s not convinced of it. So- what names ‘go’ with [name]Waverly[/name], do you think? (Boys and girls.)
I find [name]Waverly[/name] feminine and quite modern; for me, it has a slightly preppy sound without being pretentious. Girls-wise, I’d say it falls in best with other surnames or unisex names ([name]Sloane[/name], [name]Tiernan[/name], [name]Piper[/name], [name]Harper[/name], [name]Quinn[/name], [name]Delaney[/name], [name]Ellington[/name]/[name]Ellison[/name]/[name]Ellery[/name], [name]Ashby[/name], [name]Kinsey[/name], etc.), though I think it could work with the modern, crisp classics ([name]Tess[/name], [name]Claire[/name], [name]Lucy[/name], etc.). I wouldn’t pair it with really traditional names ([name]Julia[/name], [name]Rachel[/name], [name]Elizabeth[/name]) or with flowery, girly names ([name]Arianna[/name], [name]Meliora[/name], [name]Marguerite[/name], [name]Veronica[/name]). As for boys, I also would not opt for fusty classics ([name]Arthur[/name], [name]Roger[/name]) or particularly Biblical choices ([name]Caleb[/name], [name]Samson[/name], [name]Micah[/name]), but go instead for the modern classics ([name]Jack[/name], [name]Ethan[/name] or [name]Evan[/name], [name]Maxwell[/name]) or for trendier surnames ([name]Lincoln[/name], [name]Tate[/name], [name]Crew[/name], [name]Fielder[/name]). I think some of the unisex names (like [name]Parker[/name]) would work find on brothers as well as sisters.
I think if you really love the name [name]Waverly[/name], it shouldn’t matter what names ‘go’ with it. I literally have chosen my children’s names not based on which names ‘go well’ together but based on which names I am completely in love with. I am a bit of an eclectic, spontaneous person outside of naming, however.
Girls names I think go with [name]Waverly[/name]: [name]Drew[/name], Elowen, Davaney, [name]Farrah[/name], Fleura, [name]Marissa[/name], [name]Maren[/name]
Boys: [name]Bradley[/name], [name]Atticus[/name], Merrick, Emerett, [name]Elliot[/name], [name]Jovian[/name], [name]Casper[/name], [name]Caspian[/name], [name]Preston[/name]
