similar sounds (long!)

I’ve noticed in my boys list that many of the names end in similar sounds, too similar for my liking if they were ever to become a sibset. I would love some help narrowing down the list to one or two in each category. (just musing, no plans for a child at the moment)

I have a daughter named [name]Indigo[/name] from a previous relationship, but her name should be treated just like any other biological sibling since she is only 4 and I have full custody. I am okay with other names ending in “o” for boys.

Thanks for any opinions or advice!

Those are some on my favorites list.

Oh… I thought you wanted MORE names! Guess I should read the question BEFORE posting. I like:
[name]Griffin[/name]
[name]Landon[/name]
[name]Sawyer[/name]
[name]Carter[/name]
[name]Otto[/name]
[name]Rocco[/name]
All the x ones
All the s ones except [name]Chase[/name]

The ones I don’t like as much are either too frilly for my taste ([name]Quinn[/name],[name]Sebastian[/name], [name]Milo[/name] etc.) or too trendy ([name]Ryder[/name], [name]Chase[/name], [name]Fletcher[/name] etc.) or… [name]Duncan[/name]. Overall I like your names.

I know you didn’t really want suggestions but [name]Lysander[/name] popped into my head. Good luck. Sorry for the bad formatting, I’m on an iPad.
Oh, and [name]Israel[/name]. Ok, I’ll shut up now.

[name]Hi[/name] [name]Rory[/name], if I were you, I would choose one from each sound category (not that you’ll be having that many children :lol: ). Here are my faves.
-ett
[name]Everett[/name]
-on/an/en
[name]Sebastian[/name]
-er
[name]Sawyer[/name]
-o
[name]Milo[/name]
-ull
[name]Dashiell[/name]

-s
[name]Thomas[/name]
[name]Julius[/name]
[name]Silas[/name]
[name]Thaddeus[/name]
I had to pick four from this category as they’re all classic.

The other names on my list that don’t conflict with an ending sound are [name]Reid[/name]/[name]Reed[/name] and [name]Quill[/name]. - [name]Reid[/name] isn’t bad but [name]Quill[/name] is too “out there” for my taste. The name reminds me of the pens used years ago or worse - a porcupine!

Best sibset from my fave names
[name]Indigo[/name], [name]Dashiell[/name] & [name]Everett[/name]
Best sibset from names not chosen
[name]Indigo[/name], [name]Beckett[/name] & [name]Cruz[/name]

fuzzycub: haha, it’s okay! [name]Even[/name] though I am trying to narrow it down, I love thinking about names anyway, so suggestions are always welcome. I think I’m going to add [name]Enzo[/name], [name]Marco[/name], and [name]Augustus[/name] to my list! Of the names you said you liked, which could you see best with big sis [name]Indigo[/name]?

mischa: thanks for picking out your favorites! Seeing what other people like really does help. [name]Indigo[/name], [name]Beckett[/name], and [name]Cruz[/name] is a fabulous sibset! But some might assume that the boys are named after [name]David[/name] [name]Beckham[/name], seeing as his son is named [name]Cruz[/name] and [name]Beckham[/name]/[name]Beckett[/name], well, they are a bit similar. But I honestly don’t think I’d mind that since I do love [name]David[/name] [name]Beckham[/name] :slight_smile: I didn’t put this on the original list, but what about the name [name]Crewe[/name]? Between [name]Crewe[/name] and [name]Cruz[/name], which do you like better?

Thanks again, and if anyone else has more opinions, please share

Hmm… I think [name]Indigo[/name] sounds good with [name]Landon[/name] or [name]Augustus[/name] or [name]Pax[/name]. Those are some cool names! My brother’s name is [name]Axel[/name], haha.

[name]Axel[/name] can also be spelled [name]Aksel[/name]. [name]Just[/name] as a forewarning, my brother is called [name]Alex[/name] constantly, even by people who have known him for years. The alternative spelling could help lessen that confusion.

I guess if you’re going to choose [name]Beckett[/name], [name]Crew[/name] would be the better option! :slight_smile:
