what would you think of brothers named [name_u]Forest[/name_u] and [name_u]River[/name_u]? I love both names separately but not sure if they sound too much together or would subject the children to teasing. could I use both or should i pick 1 and stick with that?
I love both names but I think in the end with a third child you’ll probably be pressured to have a theme, It’ll works given how there’s an abundance of nature names but people will probably make light hearted jokes of it, maybe as a middle to make names connect, I actually have a nature themed sibling set and [name_u]River[/name_u] and [name_u]Cloud[/name_u] are middle names for both boys
Its definitely a theme. Both names are popular so its probably fine but its like meeting siblings named [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] and [name_f]Lily[/name_f] or [name_u]Linden[/name_u] and [name_u]Sequoia[/name_u]. I dont know that I would use both as first names, maybe one could be a middle? But they are both popular names so really if you don’t mind it, they’re not unusable together.
If they were far enough apart in age it might not be a problem (thinking from a school-yard teasing perspective). I’m thinking at least 5 years, maybe more
If they were both first names, I’d for sure think the parents pushed the name-theme envelope a bit far, but it would only be a fleeting thought. I’d probably chuckle when thinking about it. Then I’d think about what you’d name the next one.
Throughout life, it would be fine, Maybe when they were little and often together and introduced together, it might be a bit giggle-inducing. “[name_u]Forest[/name_u]! [name_u]River[/name_u]! Come on in inside for dinner!”
But they are nice names. I also love [name_u]Canyon[/name_u], [name_m]Tide[/name_m], [name_u]Ocean[/name_u], [name_u]Prairie[/name_u], [name_u]Elm[/name_u], [name_u]Linden[/name_u], [name_u]Cedar[/name_u], [name_u]Spruce[/name_u], [name_u]Pine[/name_u], [name_u]Harbor[/name_u], and [name_m]Moss[/name_m] as well.
It’s a sweet theme without being too much as they’re both well established as names. You could use the [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] spelling to break it up a bit
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THAT IS AN AMAZING SIBSET!!! I love both names for either gender and I don’t think people would tease that much. [name_u]Love[/name_u]!!
