For a story, I need names for six siblings, four boys and two girls. Their parents are [name_f]Emily[/name_f] [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] and [name_m]Julian[/name_m] [name_m]Humphrey[/name_m]. I do NOT want any of the babies named after their father, as he wasn’t around for their births and he’s mostly out of the picture.
Here are the names I’ve picked out, please leave your comments! Additional name suggestions are welcome.
I like them all except [name_m]Alonzo[/name_m]. I think it clashes with everything else.
What about:
[name_u]Sullivan[/name_u] [name_m]Hendrix[/name_m]
[name_m]Fletcher[/name_m] [name_m]Hendrix[/name_m]
[name_u]Asa[/name_u] [name_m]Hendrix[/name_m]
[name_m]Maverick[/name_m] [name_m]Hendrix[/name_m]
[name_m]Callum[/name_m] [name_m]Hendrix[/name_m]
[name_m]Kaiser[/name_m] [name_m]Hendrix[/name_m]
Boy: [name_m]Zacharias[/name_m] [name_u]Harlem[/name_u] (nn [name_m]Zach[/name_m]) I like [name_m]Zach[/name_m] but [name_m]Zacharias[/name_m] is a little much for me and I don’t like [name_u]Harlem[/name_u] it’s a little too trendy.
Boy: [name_u]London[/name_u] [name_u]Red[/name_u] (nn [name_m]Donny[/name_m])I like [name_u]London[/name_u] for a girl but it sounds weird on a guy for me I prefer [name_m]Landon[/name_m] but [name_u]Red[/name_u] is a nice middle.
Boy: [name_m]Alonzo[/name_m] [name_m]Hendrix[/name_m] (nn ??) [name_f]Love[/name_f] this one! Probably [name_m]Al[/name_m] or [name_u]Lonny[/name_u] for a nn
Boy: [name_m]Joshua[/name_m] [name_m]Roman[/name_m] (nn [name_m]Josh[/name_m] or [name_m]Rome[/name_m]) [name_m]Joshua[/name_m] is blah to me but I like [name_m]Roman[/name_m] maybe Try [name_m]Romeo[/name_m] for a first name nn [name_m]Rome[/name_m] with middle name [name_m]Joshua[/name_m]?
Girl: [name_u]Tegan[/name_u] [name_f]Holiday[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Holly[/name_f]) [name_u]Tegan[/name_u] is ok but I’m not a fan of [name_f]Holiday[/name_f] it just sounds so weird to me.
Girl: [name_u]California[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Callie[/name_f]) [name_f]Love[/name_f] [name_f]Callie[/name_f]! I don’t exactly like the name [name_u]California[/name_u] I find it weird to be named after a state. I like [name_f]Calista[/name_f] nn [name_f]Callie[/name_f] a lot more.
Since my latop won’t let me copy andd paste as of now, I’ve just numbered each name in order… then thoughts.
It’s okay. I’m not a fan of either name, but they sound alright.
[name_u]Red[/name_u] isn’t really a name… I like [name_u]London[/name_u] okay, but on a girl. [name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_m]Landon[/name_m] [name_u]Reid[/name_u]?
[name_m]Alonzo[/name_m] just truly does not fit in. It sounds like a old clown’s name to me, not meant to be offensive.
[name_u]Tegan[/name_u] [name_f]Holiday[/name_f] doesn’t sound like a name, but it’s not that bad. It kind of sounds like [name_f]Holiday[/name_f] is the surname, to me. Why don’t you just call her [name_u]Teagan[/name_u] [name_f]Holly[/name_f]?
Why [name_u]California[/name_u]?
Opps, forgot the [name_m]Joshua[/name_m] one. It;s not too bad, pretty good.
[name_m]Zacharias[/name_m] [name_u]Harlem[/name_u] - I like [name_m]Zach[/name_m], and I actually think that I like [name_m]Zacharias[/name_m] better than [name_m]Zachary[/name_m]. It’s good.
[name_u]London[/name_u] [name_u]Red[/name_u] - I don’t like [name_u]London[/name_u] on a boy…[name_m]Donny[/name_m] is cute though.
[name_m]Alonzo[/name_m] [name_m]Hendrix[/name_m] - I don’t like [name_m]Alonzo[/name_m] that much.
[name_m]Joshua[/name_m] [name_m]Roman[/name_m] - I like [name_m]Joshua[/name_m] and I like [name_m]Roman[/name_m] as well. Maybe [name_m]Joshua[/name_m] [name_u]London[/name_u] and [name_m]Roman[/name_m] for the other boy?
[name_u]Tegan[/name_u] [name_f]Holiday[/name_f] - I don’t like [name_u]Tegan[/name_u] or [name_f]Holiday[/name_f], but I do think [name_f]Holly[/name_f] is cute.
[name_u]California[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] - I don’t like [name_u]California[/name_u], but I do like [name_f]Callie[/name_f].
Thank you! I agree, I was on edge about [name_m]Alonzo[/name_m] and many people said it didnt fit. I think I’ll use [name_m]Callum[/name_m] or [name_u]Asa[/name_u] instead.
Thanks! I’ll definitely use [name_m]Landon[/name_m] instead. I also really like your idea for the last boy, originally [name_m]Joshua[/name_m] [name_m]Roman[/name_m]. For [name_u]Tegan[/name_u] [name_f]Holiday[/name_f], I’ve decided to change the mn to Hollister or Holloway. For the final girl, [name_f]Calista[/name_f] is adorable!
Thank you! Since not many people liked it, I will be changing [name_m]Alonzo[/name_m]. [name_u]Tegan[/name_u] [name_f]Holly[/name_f] sounds wonderful, and I might use that instead. Also, I will change [name_u]California[/name_u] to [name_f]Calista[/name_f] or something else with nn [name_f]Callie[/name_f].
Thank you! I agree, and will change [name_u]London[/name_u] to [name_m]Landon[/name_m]. [name_m]Alonzo[/name_m] will be changed as well, possibly to [name_m]Callum[/name_m]. I agree that [name_m]Joshua[/name_m] [name_m]Roman[/name_m] isn’t the greatest. I am considering [name_u]Tegan[/name_u] [name_f]Holly[/name_f] for the first girl,and [name_u]California[/name_u] will be changed to [name_f]Calista[/name_f] or something else with nn [name_f]Callie[/name_f].
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO’S REPLIED SO FAR!
I replied with my thoughts to everyone, and have decided to edit the original name list.
Comments on the new list are still greatly appreciated. It will be posted by tonight.
Boy: [name_m]Zacharias[/name_m] [name_u]Harlem[/name_u] (nn [name_m]Zach[/name_m]): For this pairing I feel like there is too much going on, too many syllables. It’s too much of a mouthful to say and they don’t flow very well. I would keep [name_m]Zacharias[/name_m] (or maybe use [name_m]Zachariah[/name_m]?) and find a new middle name (e.g… [name_u]Chase[/name_u], [name_u]Tate[/name_u], [name_m]Ace[/name_m], [name_m]Colt[/name_m]), anything with one syllable.
Boy: [name_u]London[/name_u] [name_u]Red[/name_u] (nn [name_m]Donny[/name_m]): I actually really like this one, just the name has a lot of character to it and I can kinda feel his personality through his name
Boy: [name_m]Alonzo[/name_m] [name_m]Hendrix[/name_m] (nn ??): Five out of the six names sound nice together and this is the odd one out. [name_m]Alonzo[/name_m] kinda throws the whole thing off, but I think if you used [name_m]Hendrix[/name_m] as a first name it would work a lot better.
Boy: [name_m]Joshua[/name_m] [name_m]Roman[/name_m] (nn [name_m]Josh[/name_m] or [name_m]Rome[/name_m]): I love the name [name_m]Roman[/name_m] and I’ve always kinda liked the name [name_m]Josh[/name_m], but as a whole this pairing doesn’t work very well in my opinion. Again they are a bit difficult to say together. I would either change the middle name or or use [name_m]Roman[/name_m] as the first name and find a new middle name
Girl: [name_u]Tegan[/name_u] [name_f]Holiday[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Holly[/name_f]): I [name_f]LOVE[/name_f] the name [name_u]Tegan[/name_u] for a girl so props to you on that. I’ve never been a fan of the name [name_f]Holiday[/name_f] but in this case the two names sound really nice together, I’m kind of obsessed with is right now
Girl: [name_u]California[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Callie[/name_f]): These sound very cutsie together but they flow very nice. However [name_u]California[/name_u] has very been a name I would use, even for a character and it’s a bit out of place with your other names, but it’s your story…
I think they’re all mostly fine. [name_m]Alonzo[/name_m] [name_m]Hendrick[/name_m] seems a bit out of place with [name_m]Josh[/name_m], [name_f]Callie[/name_f], [name_f]Holly[/name_f], [name_m]Zach[/name_m], and [name_m]Donny[/name_m] (’[name_m]Rome[/name_m]’ seems a bit out of place too). I’d nickname him [name_m]Henry[/name_m], by the way. [name_u]London[/name_u] does seem a bit feminine, but since he’s going by [name_m]Donny[/name_m] I guess it doesn’t make much difference, Other than that, I see nothing wrong with them. [name_f]Happy[/name_f] writing!
