What would you name Grover's sibling?

Name Advice
1

hi all!!

I’ve had Grover on my list for awhile - it’s a family surname that feels like a nice intersection between cottagecore/vintage/friendly and quirky/hipster/whimsical.

but it’s been a bit of a struggle to come up with sibling names - especially brothers. I think it would be best to lean away from other names that have a very strong character/culture reference (Percy & Grover are both in Percy Jackson; Oscar & Grover are both from Sesame Street, Truman & Grover both have US presidential connections etc.). and a lot of my favorite names - maybe aren’t too similar - but contain similar sounds (Ivo shares the O + V; Hugo has the same strong G + O).

for girls I’ve been going in a few different directions from Dorothy & Imogene to Juno & Lyra, but I would love to hear your thoughts as well.

so what would you name a brother or sister for Grover?
(purely hypothetical right now + big thanks in advance!!!)

@snowmaiden Thank you!!! I love your description of Grover and all of these your suggestions - actually can’t pick my favorites from this list but especially glad to see some names from my short(er) list like Oona!

@krijesnica I know right, thank you - you’ve definitely got your finger on the pulse with this list. Alden, Ansel, Eames, Roscoe, Edith & Rooney especially are giving me tons of inspiration.

@GenevieveReine these are so so lovely! I love seeing Otis, Ewan, Oren, Cosmo, Daphne, Agnes, Clementine, and Maren especially.

[name_m]Winston[/name_m] was my first thought with [name_m]Grover[/name_m] and for a girl it’s [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]. Both have that same offbeat vintage vibe [name_m]Grover[/name_m] has. [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] would work well too, as would so many of the previous posters’ suggestions including [name_u]Franklin[/name_u], [name_m]Edmund[/name_m], [name_u]Roscoe[/name_u], [name_f]Zelda[/name_f], [name_f]Winifred[/name_f], [name_f]Agnes[/name_f] etc. I’ll also throw [name_f]Wanda[/name_f] into the mix.
