I tried to give some classic, but different names. [name]James[/name] [name]Alan[/name] is very handsome and can go with almost anything. I hope this helps!

[name]Fiona[/name] [name]Beth[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Mae[/name] - I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Penelope[/name], and it isn’t often used so she won’t be one of six in her class.

Brother-
[name]Alexander[/name] [name]Steven[/name]

[name]Preston[/name] [name]Matthew[/name]
To me [name]James[/name] “[name]Jack[/name]” [name]Alan[/name] is a very unfussy masculine name so I would pick something traditional that matches it, like…
BOYS
[name]Benjamin[/name]
[name]Samuel[/name]
[name]Christopher[/name]
[name]Joseph[/name]
[name]Thomas[/name]
GIRLS
[name]Emily[/name]
[name]Lucy[/name]
[name]Grace[/name]
[name]Sophie[/name]
I really like [name]Jack[/name], and other shortened cute names that match it like [name]Ted[/name], [name]Freddy[/name], [name]Tom[/name], and girls nick-names such as [name]Emmy[/name], [name]Molly[/name], [name]Hattie[/name] etc…
Cheers for that everyone! I love the nickname suggestions alphalpha… We will probably use family middle names. Here’s the ones we like:
Boy:
[name]Thomas[/name]
[name]Steven[/name]
[name]Elliott[/name]
[name]Edward[/name]
[name]David[/name]
[name]Adam[/name]
[name]Michael[/name]
[name]Robert[/name]
[name]Daniel[/name]
[name]Samuel[/name]
[name]Joseph[/name]
[name]Matthew[/name]
[name]Nicholas[/name]
Family names: [name]Ivan[/name], [name]Francis[/name], [name]Eric[/name], [name]Douglas[/name] and [name]Andrew[/name]
Girl:
[name]Eliza[/name]
[name]Abigail[/name]
[name]Bridget[/name]
[name]Daisy[/name]
[name]Bonnie[/name]
[name]Scarlett[/name]
[name]Elizabeth[/name]
[name]Lydia[/name]
[name]Hannah[/name]
[name]Rachel[/name]
[name]Emily[/name]
Family names: [name]Abigail[/name], [name]Isobel[/name], [name]Lily[/name], [name]Gretel[/name], [name]Ellen[/name] and [name]Harriet[/name]
We would like to include a family name in the name either first or middle. If you could build us some combos you like that would be fab (surname is Crocker). Still open to other suggestions of course!
As an aside: [name]Jack[/name]'s nickname actually came from his initials [name]JAC[/name]… not sure whether to try to construct a name which would create another nickname?? What do you think?
[name]Jerry[/name]
[name]Jack[/name] from [name]JAC[/name] is fun, but it’s quite difficult to construct another nickname from initials, especially as all of the boys’ initial nicknames I can muster up have to incorporate your surname, so they all also end in the K sound - I don’t know whether that would bother you if you intend to have more children, already having two with -k nicknames?
[name]Nicholas[/name] [name]Ivan[/name] Crocker - [name]NIC[/name] - [name]Nick[/name] (but that could be his nickname regardless of initials
[name]Michael[/name] [name]Ivan[/name] Crocker - MIC - [name]Mick[/name] (ditto)
[name]Michael[/name] [name]Andrew[/name] Crocker - [name]MAC[/name] - [name]Mac[/name]
But my favourite cominations are:
[name]Edward[/name] [name]Ivan[/name] Crocker - great flow, and [name]Edward[/name] is so handsome, plus it comes with an array of nicknames ([name]Ted[/name], [name]Teddy[/name], [name]Ed[/name], [name]Eddie[/name], [name]Ned[/name], [name]Ward[/name]), which all sound great with [name]Jack[/name]. I love [name]Francis[/name], and [name]Edward[/name] [name]Francis[/name] also sounds good, I just thought the flow of [name]Edward[/name] [name]Ivan[/name] was slightly superior.
[name]Thomas[/name] [name]Andrew[/name] Crocker - both are handsome classic, but the harder sound of the NDR in [name]Andrew[/name] balances out the soft S consonants of [name]Thomas[/name].
[name]Samuel[/name] [name]Ivan[/name] Crocker - very handsome, great flow. [name]Jack[/name] and [name]Sam[/name] sound great together, too.
[name]Joseph[/name] [name]Andrew[/name] Crocker - the ultimate classic, with the friendly but classic nickname [name]Joe[/name], or the more unusual Seph/Sepp. If you wanted to avoid your sons having the same initials, though (which could be problematic if you came to name a third son and felt like you had to continue the pattern), [name]Joseph[/name] [name]Ivan[/name] sounds good, too.
For girls, you could use just the first and middle name initials to lead to some lovely nicknames.
[name]FE[/name] “[name]Effie[/name]”:
[name]How[/name] do you feel about [name]Flora[/name], [name]Florence[/name], [name]Fabia[/name], [name]Fabienne[/name], [name]Felicity[/name], [name]Fenella[/name], [name]Finola[/name] or [name]Francesca[/name]? You could team any of those with the middle name [name]Ellen[/name], to give the initials [name]FE[/name]. Or, as [name]Fenella[/name] already contains [name]Ella[/name] and so has a family connection to [name]Ellen[/name], you could do [name]Fenella[/name] [name]Emily[/name] to avoid repeating [name]ELL[/name] sounds.
[name]ED[/name] “[name]Edie[/name]”:
[name]How[/name] about placing the family name in the first slot, either using [name]Ellen[/name] itself or another [name]El[/name]-name to honour her, such as [name]Eleanor[/name], [name]Elodie[/name], [name]Eloise[/name] or, as you already have on your list, [name]Eliza[/name] or [name]Elizabeth[/name]. Then, with [name]Daisy[/name] in the middle, you have the initials [name]ED[/name].
LC “[name]Elsie[/name]”:
[name]Lydia[/name] Crocker already has the initials LC, so you for this nickname option you could disregard whatever is in the middle name slot. I personally think that [name]Lydia[/name] [name]Isobel[/name] and [name]Lydia[/name] [name]Gretel[/name] have the best flow.
[name]LUC[/name] “[name]Luce[/name]/[name]Lucy[/name]”:
For this one you could use [name]Lily[/name], or a variant such as [name]Lillian[/name], in the first place if you still wanted to incorporate a family name, although all of the double-L names are rising in popularity. Then in the middle you would need a U name, which is a hard task - [name]Undine[/name] (‘little wave’), [name]Ursula[/name], [name]Una[/name] and Ulyssa are the only options I can think of.
Other than that, my favourites from your list are:
[name]Eliza[/name] - beautiful, classic, with more of a vintage feel, and indeed more spunk, than [name]Elizabeth[/name]. [name]Eliza[/name] [name]Lily[/name].
[name]Daisy[/name] - I’m never sure how well this ages, even though I have met Daisys of all ages. I left it on it is a sweet name with a lovely vintage feel, though. [name]Daisy[/name] [name]Harriet[/name].
[name]Bonnie[/name] - I adore this one. Sweet and vintage, with a great meaning. [name]Bonnie[/name] [name]Isobel[/name]/[name]Abigail[/name].
[name]Lydia[/name] - a beautiful, underused but accessible, vintage choice. [name]Lydia[/name] [name]Gretel[/name].
I feel that [name]Abigail[/name], [name]Scarlett[/name], [name]Hannah[/name], [name]Rachel[/name] and [name]Emily[/name] are all very popular, and as some of your other options are equally as beautiful but less popular, I personally would favour them.
I am personally not a [name]Bridget[/name] fan, as I find the sound grating. I also removed [name]Elizabeth[/name], as while it is a lovely, classic name, it is very popular and I think just [name]Eliza[/name] would be a more interesting choice.
Good luck!
