[name]How[/name] important do you think it is for the names in a sibset to mesh together well? I go back and forth on this question quite a bit, thinking whether for the second kid we should choose the name that we like the most on it’s own, or whether we should choose the name that we like the most that also feels like a good fit with kid #1. What are your thoughts?
It’s nice, but totally not necessary. I have a mixed family, so having step-kids combined with biological kids…yeah, we don’t match at all, lol.
I think it only “matters” in the extremes. It’s a bit odd to have an [name]Octavia[/name] and a Brinkley.
It’s not weird to have a [name]Joseph[/name] and a [name]Stephanie[/name].
And then again, your kids will only be together for a handful of years so in the broad scheme of things it really doesn’t matter at all.
