What are some sibling names in your family?
My siblings and I are [name_f]Sarah[/name_f], [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] ([name_m]Ben[/name_m]), and [name_f]Kathryn[/name_f] ([name_f]Kate[/name_f]) so we all pretty well match but then we have cousins [name_f]Allegra[/name_f] and [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] which don’t seem to have such an obvious theme.
So parents + siblings, cousins, even you and your own siblings, do you see a naming theme in your family? Are there siblings who absolutely don’t match? Are there sets of cousins whose parents had completely different naming ideas?
I don’t have any siblings, but my dad and his brothers are [name_m]David[/name_m], [name_m]Bryan[/name_m] (my dad), & [name_m]Allen[/name_m] (not sure how he spells it). I always thought [name_m]David[/name_m] was a little more traditional than the other two names, [name_m]Bryan[/name_m] in particular, though [name_m]David[/name_m] is kind of a generation/style bending name. They all have the middle name [name_m]Wayne[/name_m] (their father’s middle name).
I think my parents chose really well! We are [name_f]Grace[/name_f] (me), [name_m]Caleb[/name_m], [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] and [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f].
Our parents gave us hebrew names and I think they are all beautiful.
(Me: [name_f]Ester[/name_f] [name_f]Sophia[/name_f]) & my younger siblings in order; [name_m]David[/name_m] [name_u]Blaise[/name_u], [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f] and [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] (he actually uses [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] instead of [name_m]Matthew[/name_m])

[name_m]Mark[/name_m] and [name_f]Samantha[/name_f]
[name_f]Kate[/name_f] and [name_f]Emma[/name_f]
Agnes, Hilda, Edith, Eileen, Thomas and Honora
my sister and I are [name_u]Haley[/name_u] and [name_f]Mikayla[/name_f], but my cousins are Mir@nda, Megh@n and Kendr@, which I think go perfectly together!
My sister and I are named well if you count the name that I was given at birth. Now that I’ve changed it, I still think it flows.
We are:
[name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_m]Austin[/name_m]
[name_f]Erin[/name_f] [name_f]Megan[/name_f]
I have many cousins, but their names all work too:
[name_f]Elise[/name_f], [name_m]Brandon[/name_m], [name_u]Skye[/name_u], [name_f]Mia[/name_f], [name_f]Sian[/name_f], [name_u]Tyler[/name_u], [name_f]Summer[/name_f], [name_f]Isabela[/name_f], [name_u]Charlie[/name_u], [name_m]Daniel[/name_m], [name_m]Stephen[/name_m], [name_m]Luke[/name_m], [name_m]Haydyn[/name_m], [name_f]Victoria[/name_f], [name_f]Hailey[/name_f], [name_m]Anthony[/name_m], [name_m]Samuel[/name_m], [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f], [name_m]Zachary[/name_m].
My name is [name_f]Gretchen[/name_f] and my brother’s name is [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]. They don’t really fit together but [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] is to honor my grandfather. My cousin’s names are [name_m]Ethan[/name_m], [name_m]Lincoln[/name_m], [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], [name_f]Megan[/name_f], and [name_f]Clara[/name_f].
My sister [name_f]Taina[/name_f] and I, [name_m]Zo[/name_m]é, aren’t perfectly matched but we both like our names. We have two middle names we don’t use and are all over the place.
We have two cousins, [name_f]Marlo[/name_f] and [name_f]Maia[/name_f], I think their names are better matched than my sister’s and mine, but I dislike the Ma- theme.
We are all over the place. [name_f]Jasmine[/name_f], [name_m]Jonathan[/name_m], [name_m]Christian[/name_m], [name_m]Justin[/name_m], [name_m]Brad[/name_m], [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f], and [name_m]Alixander[/name_m]. My parents just chose names they liked.
My sister and I are [name_u]Ashley[/name_u] & [name_f]Emily[/name_f] so we match. I’ve actually met sisters with the same names as us.
[name_f]Jane[/name_f] and [name_m]Paul[/name_m], my dad and aunt, both have Welsh middles.
[name_f]Sib[/name_f] set: [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], [name_m]Mark[/name_m], [name_m]Matthew[/name_m], [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] & [name_m]Joseph[/name_m]
[name_f]Sib[/name_f] set: [name_m]Gareth[/name_m] and [name_f]Bronwen[/name_f]
My [name_f]Nanna[/name_f] actually has 15 siblings… Her name is [name_f]Hilda[/name_f]. Some sibs are
[name_f]Helen[/name_f], [name_f]Eva[/name_f], [name_m]Herbert[/name_m], [name_m]John[/name_m], [name_f]Edith[/name_f], [name_f]Eunice[/name_f], [name_f]Mary[/name_f], [name_m]Norman[/name_m], [name_m]Clive[/name_m] & [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] Not all, but that’s what I know off the top of my head.
My sibling group: [name_m]Bryan[/name_m] [name_m]Scott[/name_m], [name_f]Caity[/name_f] [name_u]Lynn[/name_u], Brayton [name_m]Scott[/name_m], [name_u]Lexi[/name_u] [name_f]Brynn[/name_f]
My dad’s: [name_m]Scott[/name_m] [name_m]Bryan[/name_m], [name_m]Todd[/name_m] [name_m]Paul[/name_m]
My grandma’s: [name_f]Darlene[/name_f], [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f], [name_f]Sharon[/name_f], [name_m]Clyde[/name_m]
For some reason there’s not many siblings in my family! Lol
My sibset is [name_f]Heather[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f], [name_f]Amber[/name_f] [name_f]Dawn[/name_f], Derian [name_m]Allen[/name_m], and [name_f]Hannah[/name_f] [name_f]Jade[/name_f]. The two youngest have a different mom but they all go together.
My dad and aunt are [name_m]William[/name_m] [name_m]Allen[/name_m] and [name_u]Tallie[/name_u] [name_f]Renee[/name_f]. My dad is a II and my aunt has the same middle as my grandma. My aunt continued with what my grandparents did and had [name_u]Randy[/name_u] [name_u]Lee[/name_u](also a II after his dad) and Lillyann [name_f]Renee[/name_f].
My mom and her sisters are [name_f]Belinda[/name_f], [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f], and [name_f]Maryann[/name_f].
[name_f]Rebecca[/name_f] had [name_u]Tyler[/name_u] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m](middle after his dad), [name_f]Ella[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f]([name_f]Ella[/name_f] to honor our great grandma [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f]), and [name_m]Craig[/name_m] [name_m]Derek[/name_m](a II after his dad). [name_f]Ella[/name_f] and [name_m]Craig[/name_m] also have a brother(my aunt’s stepson) named Styles.
[name_f]Maryann[/name_f] had [name_u]Haley[/name_u], [name_m]Trey[/name_m], [name_m]Anthony[/name_m], and [name_m]Talan[/name_m].
My parents went overboard in ensuring our names “flowed” well. We all have 3 syllable 7 letter first names and one syllable 4 letter middle names: [name_f]Melanie[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Jessica[/name_f] [name_u]Lynn[/name_u], and [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f] [name_f]Anne[/name_f]
My Cousins names all flow well together too: [name_u]Ryan[/name_u] [name_m]Alan[/name_m], [name_u]Kyle[/name_u] [name_m]Alan[/name_m], and [name_m]Eric[/name_m] [name_m]Alan[/name_m].
Me and my siblings’ names flow in an odd sort of way, but it works: [name_f]Madisson[/name_f] (me), [name_f]Makayla[/name_f], [name_f]Faith[/name_f] & [name_m]Damian[/name_m]. All of my cousins’ names flow well together to:
- [name_f]Kathryn[/name_f], [name_f]Mya[/name_f], Kaylye, [name_m]Jon[/name_m] and [name_m]Kobi[/name_m]
- [name_u]Shane[/name_u] and [name_f]Shyanne[/name_f]
- [name_f]Maegan[/name_f] and [name_f]Emma[/name_f]
- [name_m]Jarred[/name_m] and [name_u]Julianne[/name_u]
My sister and I are [name_f]Michelle[/name_f] and [name_f]Danielle[/name_f]
Other sibsets in the family include
[name_m]Joshua[/name_m],[name_f]Jessica[/name_f],[name_f]Janessa[/name_f],[name_u]Jaiden[/name_u]

My cousin sibsets are [name_m]Stephan[/name_m]!e, T!ffany and [name_f]Laura[/name_f]… J@ck and [name_m]Harry[/name_m]… Is@bel “[name_u]Izzy[/name_u]” and [name_f]Ele[/name_f]@nor “[name_f]Ellie[/name_f]”.
I think me and my sisters are the only ones who have a theme.
My brothers and I are [name_u]Dallas[/name_u], [name_u]Evan[/name_u], [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f], and [name_m]Truman[/name_m]. We all got cool names besides [name_u]Evan[/name_u] which is a bit more basic.
My dad and his siblings are [name_u]James[/name_u] [name_m]Gregory[/name_m] (Goes by greg), [name_m]Stephen[/name_m], [name_m]Christopher[/name_m], [name_m]Russell[/name_m], and [name_f]Kathryn[/name_f]
My mom and Her siblings are [name_m]Brian[/name_m], [name_f]Linda[/name_f], [name_u]Tracy[/name_u], and [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] who goes by [name_f]Liz[/name_f]
My cousins are [name_m]Sean[/name_m] and [name_f]Jillian[/name_f] which I think go really well together.
My triplet sisters and I are [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] [name_u]Michele[/name_u], [name_f]Rachel[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], and [name_f]Emily[/name_f] [name_f]Anne[/name_f], which go really well together.
