love your kids names! did you notice you have an -n theme going on? this could be a deciding factor for names you might be thinking about for another child, whether they’d be your last and whether you’d keep the theme.

i feel your names are just the right mix of familiar, naturey and adventurous, i think these are the best fits from your list:
caspian, kipling, lachlan || phoenix, jasper, tolliver
fern, gwendolyn || guinevere, dorothea, maple, cleo
-especially caspian, kipling and guinevere!

you have plenty great options, but here goes some ideas,
caspar
linus
claude
klaus
lawrence
lawson
dawson
day
dalton
oren
bowen
thackery
killian / cillian
kian / cian
kieran
gray
roland
clarke
edmund
felix
otto
hayes

rosen
indie
sylvie
irie
truett
margarida
marigold
niamh
aoife
manon
june
mabel
song
zola
dominique
nell
hallie
dahlia
meadow
daisy

@Aren yes, I’ve noticed the N ending theme. :face_with_peeking_eye::laughing: It was a total accident through the first 2. To make it even worse, my husband and I both have N ending names too. When #3 came along I wanted to name her [name_f]Azalea[/name_f], but my sister threw a fit saying she’d feel left out. [name_f]Raven[/name_f] was not mine or my husband’s first choice, but she loves her name and that’s all that matters now. [name_f]My[/name_f] kids are 14, 11 and 8. We thought [name_f]Raven[/name_f] would be the last, but hubby had a vasectomy reversal last year and we’re trying conceive what we’re calling our second litter (my nickname is Cat). :joy: Since there’s a large age gap, and we’d like to have 2-3 more, I’m not concerned about continuing the theme, but I don’t want to pick any N ending names as first names if we don’t continue it. Does that make sense? I do like the idea of using an N ending in the middle and I fully intend on having 2 middles for each child born to this litter. lol

Thank you for your suggestions. [name_m]Lawrence[/name_m] probably should have gone on my list. It’s one of those I love, but can’t use. [name_m]Lawson[/name_m] is definitely on the middle name list. I’m loving [name_m]Thackery[/name_m] more and more. [name_m]Felix[/name_m] is adorable. And I love [name_f]Sylvi[/name_f] and [name_f]Indy[/name_f] as nicknames for [name_f]Sylva[/name_f] and [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f]. Thanks again!

@Greyblue I love [name_m]Fletcher[/name_m], [name_m]Everest[/name_m], [name_m]Sylvan[/name_m] (is the ending to close to Raven’s?), [name_m]Evander[/name_m], [name_m]Corbin[/name_m] (I don’t like that the last syllable is so similar to the first syllable of Benton), [name_m]Tennyson[/name_m], [name_m]Griffin[/name_m] (too [name_m]Harry[/name_m] [name_m]Potter[/name_m] with Raven?), [name_m]Eben[/name_m] (ditto Corbin), [name_f]Stella[/name_f], [name_f]Mina[/name_f], [name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f], [name_f]Willamina[/name_f], [name_f]Verity[/name_f], [name_f]Merrily[/name_f], [name_f]Elswyth[/name_f], [name_f]Pepper[/name_f], [name_f]Sunday[/name_f], [name_f]Carys[/name_f] and [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f]. Thank you!

Your [name_f]Sylva[/name_f], [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] and [name_m]Magnus[/name_m] sibling combination has me swooning! I adore [name_m]Magnus[/name_m], but it sounds super close to our last name. I can’t decide if I hate that or not. And our last name was actually derived from [name_m]Magnus[/name_m] so it would be like naming my kid [name_m]William[/name_m] [name_m]Williams[/name_m]. Again, I’m not sure how I feel about that. I kinda like the quirkiness of it, but most people seem to think it’s ridiculous when people do that.

I took the liberty for making combinations out of your list, as well as with the names I think would match the naming style of [name_m]Benton[/name_m], [name_f]Arwen[/name_f], and [name_f]Raven[/name_f]!

boys:
[name_m]Magnus[/name_m] [name_m]Phoenix[/name_m] [name_m]Grant[/name_m]
[name_m]Silas[/name_m] [name_m]Ronan[/name_m] [name_m]Tolliver[/name_m]
[name_m]Emmett[/name_m] [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] [name_m]Luther[/name_m]

girls:
[name_f]Sylva[/name_f] [name_f]Juniper[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]
[name_f]Darcy[/name_f] [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Fern[/name_f]
[name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] [name_f]Elanor[/name_f] [name_f]Nola[/name_f]

I do think your naming style is a nice mix between nature and vintage, so here are some other names I think you might like.

boys:
[name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_m]Sylvan[/name_m] [name_m]Ernest[/name_m]
[name_m]Lawrence[/name_m] Marner [name_m]Thorne[/name_m]
[name_m]Waylon[/name_m] [name_m]Orion[/name_m] [name_m]Ellis[/name_m]

girls:
[name_f]Sedona[/name_f] [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Bloom[/name_f]
[name_f]Laurel[/name_f] [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]

Hmm, I think it might be okay - especially if you put it last in the set? So, say you had three more, and chose perhaps [name_m]Jasper[/name_m], [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] and [name_m]Sylvan[/name_m], they wouldn’t be said next to each other that often - and since you’d have other kids, it wouldn’t feel too much? Still, if it feels too much for you, I think you’ve got lots of other lovely choices.

[name_m]Ah[/name_m], didn’t quite think of that. I should have with [name_m]Eben[/name_m], but maybe it’s because I say [name_m]Ben[/name_m]- and -bin quite differently in my accent? But yeah, if it doesn’t feel right to you, as I say, you’ve got other wonderful choices!

[name_m]Ah[/name_m], didn’t consider that either. For me, I wouldn’t have thought of that (I haven’t really engaged with anything HP related for a long while), but if you like it enough, maybe check in with people around you - and your kids - to see if they’d make that link?
