I’m just looking for thoughts on these sib-sets for my WIP. [name\_f]Do[/name\_f] they sound like they go reasonably well together? Parents: Abidan & [name\_f]Perdita[/name\_f] Children: [name\_f]Ursula[/name\_f] & [name\_u]Blaise[/name\_u] Parents: [name\_m]King[/name\_m] [name\_m]Casimir[/name\_m] & [name\_f]Queen[/name\_f] Cyrene Children: [name\_m]Alexander[/name\_m], [name\_f]Elodia[/name\_f], [name\_f]Miriam[/name\_f], Demetri Parents: [name\_u]Sheridan[/name\_u] & Zerdali Children: [name\_u]Sage[/name\_u] (who goes by [name\_m]Raphael[/name\_m] for most of the story, his mn), [name\_f]Hazel[/name\_f] (b), and [name\_f]Willow[/name\_f] (b) ---

[name\_m]Hi[/name\_m] Dantea, I hope you are doing well. Parents: Abidan & [name\_f]Perdita[/name\_f] Children: [name\_f]Ursula[/name\_f] & [name\_u]Blaise[/name\_u] - I like these family names. Parents: [name\_m]King[/name\_m] [name\_m]Casimir[/name\_m] & [name\_f]Queen[/name\_f] Cyrene Children: [name\_m]Alexander[/name\_m], [name\_f]Elodia[/name\_f], [name\_f]Miriam[/name\_f], Dimian - I think [name\_f]Miriam[/name\_f] and Dimian are too similar for siblings. Did you consider [name\_m]Dimitri[/name\_m]/[name\_m]Dmitri[/name\_m] or [name\_m]Demetrius[/name\_m]? I think these name would go well with [name\_m]Casimir[/name\_m] and [name\_m]Alexander[/name\_m]. Parents: [name\_u]Sheridan[/name\_u] & Zerdali - are these two characters from completely different cultures (an Irish Searcher and a Turkish [name\_m]Wild[/name\_m] Apricot?). [name\_u]Sheridan[/name\_u] doesn’t have the exotic flair of Zerdali. Have you considered [name\_m]Severin[/name\_m], [name\_m]Salton[/name\_m]/[name\_m]Sultan[/name\_m], [name\_m]Seraphim[/name\_m] or Sevilen (Turkish)? Children: [name\_u]Sage[/name\_u] (who goes by [name\_m]Raphael[/name\_m] for most of the story, his mn), [name\_f]Hazel[/name\_f] (b), and [name\_f]Willow[/name\_f] (b). Three boys with word names. [name\_f]Hazel[/name\_f] and [name\_f]Willow[/name\_f] are interesting for a boy. I think a [name\_u]Sheridan[/name\_u] may call his children by these names but I’m not sure a Zerdali would. ---

Thanks [name\_u]Mischa[/name\_u]. I like [name\_m]Dmitri[/name\_m] better for [name\_u]Alex[/name\_u]'s brother. Thanks for the suggestion 🙂 [name\_u]Sheridan[/name\_u] and Zerdali are from different cultures. She’s from a more middle eastern type place and he lives in the woods in what would be the UK type area. He’s a druid and she enters into the druid life with him which is why the boys all have those sorts of names. 🙂 ---

Parents: Abidan & [name\_f]Perdita[/name\_f] Children: [name\_f]Ursula[/name\_f] & [name\_u]Blaise[/name\_u] - Is there a specific reason why [name\_u]Blaise[/name\_u] has some kind of trendy name? If not, I would pick something more distinctive because Abidan, [name\_f]Perdita[/name\_f] and [name\_f]Ursula[/name\_f] are such. Parents: [name\_m]King[/name\_m] [name\_m]Casimir[/name\_m] & [name\_f]Queen[/name\_f] Cyrene Children: [name\_m]Alexander[/name\_m], [name\_f]Elodia[/name\_f], [name\_f]Miriam[/name\_f], Dimian - [name\_m]Alexander[/name\_m] is great but a bit plain next to [name\_f]Elodia[/name\_f], [name\_f]Miriam[/name\_f] and Dimian. Alexey maybe? Iskander? Parents: [name\_u]Sheridan[/name\_u] & Zerdali Children: [name\_u]Sage[/name\_u] (who goes by [name\_m]Raphael[/name\_m] for most of the story, his mn), [name\_f]Hazel[/name\_f] (b), and [name\_f]Willow[/name\_f] (b) - This one is truly lovely, so wood-sy! 🙂 ---

[name\_u]Blaise[/name\_u] is the name of a scientist and has ancient roots same as [name\_f]Ursula[/name\_f]. The character has always been [name\_u]Blaise[/name\_u] for 10 years now so I don’t think I can change it 😛 If it makes you feel better, when my former friend wrote him, she spelled his name [name\_m]Blayze[/name\_m]. For [name\_m]Alexander[/name\_m], he’s been [name\_m]Alexander[/name\_m] for 10 years too and I can’t think of him as anything else. I thought I did a decent job with classic [name\_f]Miriam[/name\_f] and classic [name\_m]Alexander[/name\_m] next to unusual [name\_f]Elodia[/name\_f] and unusual [name\_m]Dimitri[/name\_m] now. And thank you! ---

They all seem ok to me. I know you go by meanings more than anything else so I can’t judge them by my own standards of cohesiveness\*. I particularly like [name\_f]Ursula[/name\_f] and [name\_u]Blaise[/name\_u] together, both are fun to say! \*read, ‘it just has to sound good’. 😉
