[name_m]Hi[/name_m] Momberries! [name_u]Haven[/name_u]'t been on in a while, but you all were SO helpful when I was trying to name my son almost 2 years ago! My son, [name_m]Simon[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m], is 22 months old and my husband and I are TTC #2. I have been obsessed with creating the perfect sibset lately, so I figured I would come to the experts :wink:

We used to have a LARGE list of favorites, and have widdled it down to a top 4 for Boys and Girls. We have a few middles- some are family names, but we aren’t attached to any of them.

Anyone want to choose their favorites from the lists or suggest new names that go well with [name_m]Simon[/name_m]? We like names with history that are less common but still familiar, easy to spell and easy to pronounce. First name shouldn’t start with S or B, or be more than 3 syllables (our last name has 4). Nothing in the TOP 100, please.

Boys: [name_u]Arlo[/name_u], [name_m]Jasper[/name_m], [name_m]Felix[/name_m], [name_m]Archer[/name_m]
Middles: [name_u]Sage[/name_u], [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m], [name_u]River[/name_u], [name_m]Teague[/name_m]

Possible Combos:
[name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m]
[name_m]Archer[/name_m] [name_u]Sage[/name_u]
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m] [name_m]Teague[/name_m]
[name_u]Arlo[/name_u] [name_u]River[/name_u]

Girls: [name_f]Martha[/name_f], [name_f]Annabel[/name_f], [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], [name_f]Fiona[/name_f]
Middles: [name_u]Sage[/name_u], [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Marie[/name_f], [name_u]Eloise[/name_u], [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]

Possible Combos:
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
[name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_u]Eloise[/name_u]
[name_f]Annabel[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f]
[name_f]Fiona[/name_f] [name_u]Sage[/name_u]

Thanks!!

BTW…I know [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] is in the TOP 100, but it’s been my husband’s #1 for 10 years and he will NOT let it go without a fight!

I like [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] [name_u]River[/name_u], [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] [name_u]Sage[/name_u], and [name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m].

From the girls [name_f]Fiona[/name_f] [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] jumped out at me. I’m leaning toward [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] [name_u]Sage[/name_u] because that middle made both lists so you must really like it (and [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_f]Marie[/name_f] are a bit “vanilla”–pretty, but not as exciting). [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] would be my last pick.

With [name_m]Simon[/name_m], my favourites are [name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] and [name_f]Fiona[/name_f] [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f].

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps!

I like [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] and [name_m]Felix[/name_m], and [name_f]Martha[/name_f] and [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] the best. My favourite combos are [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] [name_u]River[/name_u] and [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_u]Eloise[/name_u], though I think [name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] and [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] might be better fits with [name_m]Simon[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m].

@lilievans: I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_f]Fiona[/name_f] [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]! And I do like [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] [name_u]Sage[/name_u] better than [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f]. [name_f]Marie[/name_f] is my twin sister and mom’s middle name, but it is super vanilla :frowning:

@wingardium: I do like [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] a lot. Any suggestions for middles to go with [name_f]Martha[/name_f]? I just realised that [name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] sounds really Grandmotherly. I was going for old-fashioned but not ancient LOL

I love [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] [name_u]Sage[/name_u] and [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]. Gdluck x

Thank you, anonymous.a :slight_smile: Now if I can just get my husband on board with [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] :wink: He actually loves [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], so I am very happy about that!

Suggestions, since love [name_u]Arlo[/name_u], but said your husband isn’t 100% sold on it, how about [name_m]Arthur[/name_m], [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] or [name_m]Alec[/name_m]?

Combo Suggestions for Boys
[name_m]Alec[/name_m] [name_u]Sage[/name_u]
[name_m]Atticus[/name_m] [name_m]Felix[/name_m]
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m] [name_m]Teague[/name_m]

Or, if you wanted [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] in the middle could you use one of your other favorites as a first, or a family name as a first?

For the girls, I think you have some lovely choices as well. I especially like a pp’s suggestion of [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_u]Eloise[/name_u].

Have you considered [name_f]Rose[/name_f] as a first name? It is less than the three syllables, falls outside the top 100 and fits wonderfully with [name_m]Simon[/name_m].

[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_u]Eloise[/name_u]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]

I think my favorite is probably [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f].
