I really can't stand
Rufus. It sounds blunt to me. Makes me think of a grey-haired man in his 40s. Or a cheeky fox. I can't tell whether there was a story with a fox named
Rufus when I was little.
Rufus siblings could be

AnnaAugustaLydiaVita
The siblings names you suggested:
Daphne - Kind of works... as of sound and looks, but of course the origin is quite different, and I'm the type of person who prefers siblings names with similar origins
Theodora - Same as
Daphne. Sounds good with
RufusWinifred - Matching as to sound, but definitely not as to origin
Rowena - dislike sibsets with the same initials
Wilfred - an old man's name to me
Willoughby - a very complicated name opposed to the simple
RufusCaspian - alright
Casper -
Casper it too modern to me compared to the older
RufusIgnatius - matches perfectly as to origin, but I absoluty loathe this name... sounds like a Pope's or some churchman's name. Very old-fashioned and stern.
So my favorites are:
Rufus &
Daphne and
Rufus &
Winifred
My middle name suggestions are:
Rufus Benjamin Stewart ArnoldRufus Benedict Stewart ArnoldRufus Cornelius Stewart ArnoldRufus Gabriel Stewart ArnoldRufus Gideon Stewart ArnoldRufus James Stewart ArnoldRufus Jude Stewart ArnoldRufus Matthias Stewart ArnoldRufus Paul Stewart Arnold
