Most of my favorite boy names end with the letter n:
Jensen
Hadrian
Benjamin
Rowan
Orion
etc…
Is it too much to have more than 1 of them in a sibset? I ideally want about 3 children and if I have all boys most of my favorite names end in n and I don’t know if they work together. I love the names on their own and on paper but do you guys think it is fine to use more than 1 in a sibset or are they too close together?
I think it depends on the syllables and other sounds in the names. For example [name_m]Hadrian[/name_m], [name_u]Benjamin[/name_u] and [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] sound good together. However, [name_m]Jenson[/name_m] and [name_m]Weston[/name_m] would maybe sound too similar because of the repeating s’s too.
I think it’s ok. But also I’m a little neurotic about building sibsets and I don’t like any repeat start or end letters. But that’s my own special brand of crazy.
Like all those boys could be brothers and I’d have no qualms. And it’s such a subtle thing that you could add an outlier and no one would know. Unless you had like 6 boys or something and one of them was like Leslie or Otto. (Why those are my two choices idk lol) and all the others were ur list.
I think it’s fine. Lots of boys names end in an N and the sounds of those you love are quite distinctive and separate from each other, so they don’t sound too much
I think you could make it work as long as the names didn’t share too many other similar sounds. I think once you start getting past 3 “n” ending names it might start sounding a little too matchy matchy when said all together. But saying that loving each name individually is far more important!
I only having one sibling. But both our names have the same ending (same last four letters). It’s never been a big deal.
I think more than two siblings with the same ending would be more noticeable and could be seen as a deliberate choice or pattern. But it’s not a deal breaker. If those are the names you like then I say go for it.
I think it’s ok, but I understand your predicament. There are so many boys names that end in -n, I don’t think it’s that big of a deal.
By total accident, both of our boys have names that end in -n. They both have family names and it just happened. I do have slight concern now that if we have a third, do we have to give he/she a name that ends in an -n too?
I wouldn’t bat an eye at a [name_u]Benjamin[/name_u] and [name_u]Ryan[/name_u] or a [name_m]Ben[/name_m] and [name_u]Ryan[/name_u] , but I would probably think it was too much if it were [name_m]Ken[/name_m] , [name_m]Ben[/name_m] and [name_m]Len[/name_m]
I think [name_u]Jensen[/name_u] , [name_m]Hadrian[/name_m] , [name_u]Benjamin[/name_u], [name_u]Orion[/name_u] and [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] are all stylistically different and unique . They also don’t share beginning letters
However I think [name_m]Hadrian[/name_m] and [name_u]Julian[/name_u] would be too close !
[name_f]My[/name_f] sister and I both share names that end in an A and we have never had a problem
