A friend of mine just recently had her second child. The sibset is very unique and I just wanted to share with you.
The sib set is:
[name]Wilder[/name] [name]Hawthorne[/name]
and
[name]Elodie[/name] Bramble
While the children’s names aren’t really my style (except [name]Hawthorne[/name], which is cool), I think these are actually sort of neat without being overdone. [name]Wilder[/name] is interesting and [name]Hawthorne[/name], while it sounds cheesy, was picked for the literary association. [name]Elodie[/name] is a perfectly legit but uncommon name and Bramble is something I never would have thought of as a name, but I think it goes great with [name]Elodie[/name].
I love [name]Wilder[/name], actually! It just seems so cool to me. I don’t really care for the MNs, but I’m in love with [name]Wilder[/name], and I think [name]Wilder[/name] and [name]Elodie[/name] are perfect together.
I thought so too. They’re beautiful together and [name]Wilder[/name] is obviously wild and [name]Elodie[/name], with the “marsh flower” meaning…the meanings complement each other so well.
I really am very interested in Bramble. It sounds good with [name]Elodie[/name] and today I heard her calling the baby [name]Ellie[/name]-[name]Bell[/name] (because Bramble has a sort of bell sound at the end)
To me, [name]Wilder[/name] is an adjective. As in, “That party last night was way [name]WILDER[/name] than I expected!” and “these wacky teenagers, they get [name]WILDER[/name] every year!”. So, not a fan. I class this with [name]Ryker[/name]: they both sound like…well, like brand-new cowboy boots on a rich city kid. Trying way too hard to be rugged and cool.
I do like [name]Elodie[/name]! And Bramble is fabulous. I do love a word-name in the middle spot.
[name]Love[/name] [name]Wilder[/name] [name]Hawthorne[/name]. [name]Elodie[/name] Bramble is okay, I like [name]Elodie[/name] (not so much with [name]Wilder[/name] – with [name]Wilder[/name] I think of cowboy-chic and with [name]Elodie[/name] I get a [name]Madeline[/name]-esque French schoolgirl vibe) but Bramble seems a little… eh. I just think of tangled-up, thorny plants which isn’t really a connection I want for my daughter. But I see the appeal in the sound and [name]Ellie[/name]-[name]Bell[/name] is cute. Would have gone with [name]Elodie[/name] [name]Briar[/name], personally.
Gorgeous sibset! Sold and new at the same time, which I [name]LOVE[/name]. Very cute sibset, but might be hard if they chose to add a third in the mix with two extravagantly unique names.
