🌊 tarka

while making a top ten list of my boy’s names on here a bit ago, i had the realization that i couldn’t not include tarka. he’s very sweet and spunky, and i love the presumed meaning ‘wandering as water’. i’m at a loss for sibling names though, so my question to you all is:

what would you use as a middle name for tarka; and what would you name a sibling for your tarka combo?

thank you all! <3

I like [name_m]Tarka[/name_m]! Such a fun and unexpected sound.
I’d use [name_m]Tarka[/name_m] [name_m]Bow[/name_m] or [name_m]Tarka[/name_m] [name_u]Wolf[/name_u] if I was brave. [name_m]Tarka[/name_m] [name_m]Evander[/name_m] or [name_m]Tarka[/name_m] [name_u]Forest[/name_u] for a little more realistic.

[name_m]Tarka[/name_m] and siblings: [name_m]Bracken[/name_m] [name_m]Darrow[/name_m] [name_m]Ender[/name_m] [name_u]Esker[/name_u] [name_f]Fauna[/name_f] [name_u]Fenn[/name_u] [name_m]Frey[/name_m] [name_u]Indy[/name_u] [name_u]Koda[/name_u] [name_u]Lupine[/name_u] [name_u]Nova[/name_u] [name_m]Quillan[/name_m] [name_u]Rossi[/name_u] [name_f]Saga[/name_f] [name_u]Taiga[/name_u] [name_u]Tully[/name_u] [name_f]Winry[/name_f]

From your user card I think [name_m]Huon[/name_m] and [name_f]Oona[/name_f] would make great siblings for [name_m]Tarka[/name_m].

@columbiacharm I love [name_m]Tarka[/name_m] [name_u]Forest[/name_u]!

I adore [name_m]Tarka[/name_m] [name_u]Willow[/name_u] as a beautiful name pairing, but if I think about wearability for an actual person, I think I’d use [name_m]Tarka[/name_m] [name_u]Henry[/name_u] (because [name_m]Tarka[/name_m] [name_u]Willow[/name_u] is a ever so water themed!)

[name_m]Tarka[/name_m] [name_u]Henry[/name_u], [name_u]Taliesin[/name_u] [name_u]Leo[/name_u] & [name_m]Dalziel[/name_m] [name_m]Nohr[/name_m].

[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_m]Tarka[/name_m] :heart_eyes:

I think I’d use the combos [name_m]Tarka[/name_m] [name_u]Peregrine[/name_u], [name_m]Tarka[/name_m] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] or [name_m]Tarka[/name_m] [name_m]Ozias[/name_m]!

For siblings:

[name_m]Tarka[/name_m] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m], [name_m]Sholto[/name_m] [name_m]Felix[/name_m] and [name_f]Elswyth[/name_f] [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f]

[name_m]Tarka[/name_m] [name_u]Peregrine[/name_u], [name_m]Lorcan[/name_m] [name_m]Ferdinand[/name_m] and [name_f]Bronte[/name_f] [name_f]Isolda[/name_f]

[name_m]Tarka[/name_m] [name_m]Ozias[/name_m], [name_m]Nevan[/name_m] [name_m]Silas[/name_m], and Rosfrith [name_f]Eliza[/name_f]

Sorry, got carried away, but this was a fun name to work with :heart:

It’s the word for grater (like, cheese grater) and washing board, in my native language, so it’s a pass from me.

But I think I’d go with… Hm. Tarka D’Artagnan, brother to Piran Florimond, and Ronia Galadriel.
