As usual, I got this idea for a story with a sibset of 4 to name, and I got stuck. They are 2 girls and a boy, the older girl is 12, the middle one is 9 or 8, then there’s the 6-year-old boy and a newborn/1-y-o girl at last. The boy could be either [name]Peter[/name] or [name]Gabriel[/name] (kinda weird to use one of them as a middle name for the other!), while I thought something classical for the older girls, like [name]Charlotte[/name], [name]Adele[/name], [name]Lydia[/name] or [name]Elizabeth[/name]. For the youngest, I came up with [name]Greta[/name], but I don’t like it’s alliteration with [name]Gabriel[/name] -which is probably going to be the final choice, but I could get over the same initials thing, since I love the names- nor the fact that it sounds slightly less feminine than the others. Also, most of these names have A-E vowels, and I wanted to use that as a subtle connection, but in that case [name]Lydia[/name] would be out. If you add the R to this trend, then [name]Adele[/name] would be out too, and I’m one name short.
The final draft has [name]Adele[/name], [name]Charlotte[/name], [name]Gabriel[/name] and [name]Greta[/name] penciled in, but I’m still unsure about this set. Plus, middle names are still a mystery. I might as well go ahead and avoid them altogether. Would it be weird?
Any suggestions? [name]Even[/name] if they don’t fit with the A-E-R trend, add them, I might just get inspired!
