[name_f]My[/name_f] kids are Bent0n Gr0ver, @rwen Eliz@beth, and R@ven @zalea @nn. TTC and would love to have 3 more kids, preferably 2 boys and a girl to even things out, but will be thrilled with whatever we get! Thoughts on the following names with our sibset? The middles are honor names with the exception of [name_f]Sylva[/name_f].
Jaspen [name_m]Charles[/name_m] [name_m]Dean[/name_m]
[name_m]Wilkin[/name_m] O’Brian [name_m]Clyde[/name_m]
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Sylva[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
Laurelin [name_f]Ruby[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]

I love the unique pattern in your sibset names and all of them are so cool! I adore [name_m]Wilkin[/name_m] and Laurelin. Jaspen is nice but I do mostly think of Jasper; [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] is beautiful but I feel like Laurelin fits the (kinda medieval, fantastical and nature-y!) vibe of the other girls names a bit more.

These are all gorgeous! I love how they are all connected by the -n ending, and the vibes are so mystical, nature-y, and stunning. [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Sylva[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is definitely my favorite, followed closely by [name_m]Wilkin[/name_m] O’Brian [name_m]Clyde[/name_m].

@dejectedpiglet Thank you! I’ve gone back and forth on whether to continue the pattern or not, but I just really like N ending names apparently. lol Jasper is actually the name that has been pushing me to break the pattern because I love it so much, but I love Jaspen just as much and I would be sad to miss out on the N ending names I do like. Especially the girls. I love Laurelin and the Tolkien connection, and Imogen has been on my list for about 12 years now. I wanted to use it for both of my girls and let myself be talked out of it!
@daisydarcy Thank you! My husband and I also both have N ending names! I’ve come to realize that “mystical and nature-y” are definitely my style!

Wow! What a cool (enchanting and distinctive) set! [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] is a fave of mine and I love that you could use another fave - [name_m]Wilkie[/name_m] - as a nn for [name_m]Wilkin[/name_m].
Btw, if you were to have more, would you consider adding second middles for the first two? Eg Bent0n Gr0ver [name_m]Luke[/name_m] & Arw3n Elizab3th [name_f]Grace[/name_f]?

Ooh, a distinctive but familiar feeling sibset with a hint of mystique and magic.
Jaspen [name_m]Charles[/name_m] [name_m]Dean[/name_m] is sleek, outdoorsy and handsome.
[name_m]Wilkin[/name_m] O’Brian [name_m]Clyde[/name_m] is handsome and cool. Surnamey and unexpected.
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Sylva[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] feels literary and poetic with a slight woodsy vibe. A bit more classic feeling than the others but maybe not where you are.
Laurelin [name_f]Ruby[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] is cute and sparky! I like Laurelin and [name_f]Ruby[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] is sweet!
I think Jaspen fits both the mystical vibe of A’s name and the witchy feel of R’s, and the offbeat but familar sounds of B’s. [name_m]Wilkin[/name_m] fits the surname feel of B and the storybook feel of A. [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] has the literary, poetic feel of A and R, while Laurelin feels contemporary like B and R!
And in that way, they work together too

@EloiseT thank you! Funnily, B and A kind of do have other names. Before I was even pregnant with B, hubby and I thought our first son’s name would be [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] Bent0n Gr0ver, but we decided to drop [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] because we wanted to call him Bent0n. @rwen was originally @rwen [name_f]Louisa[/name_f], but hubby admitted he couldn’t remember her middle name and kept thinking of her as @rwen Eliz@beth. We changed it when she was 4 weeks old. In fact, he chose @rwen as well. lol I’ve fantasized about adding [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] or [name_f]Louise[/name_f] to her name, but I don’t think I’d ever actually go through with it. @rwen [name_f]Louise[/name_f] Eliz@beth? @rwen Eliz@beth [name_f]Louise[/name_f]? Since there are 2 of them with 1 middle, I’ll probably leave it alone. Plus they’re 14 and 11 and don’t seem bothered by it in the least. On the other hand, R is 8 and demands that if we have another they have to have 2 middles so she’s not the only one who does. lol
@Greyblue Thank you! I always enjoy your descriptions of names! I’m in the US where some people haven’t even ever heard of the name [name_f]Imogen[/name_f]! So while I agree it’s more classic, most people around me aren’t going to know that. I appreciate your take!

I think Jaspen and [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] are my favorites! Jaspen and [name_m]Benton[/name_m] work really well together, I think, and [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Sylva[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is just lovely! I also like [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Ruby[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f], for what it’s worth.
Good luck!

@ashthedreamer lol [name_m]Benton[/name_m] towers over me now! It’s wild. But yes, I remember you from way back when. I think I started utilizing Nameberry when I was pregnant with [name_f]Arwen[/name_f] because she was so hard to name! I think Jaspen and [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] are my favorites too! Thanks!

Thanks for the input! Those middles are pretty special to us, so they’ll probably be staying. Thanks for the suggestions though!
