Hi friends,

I've been writing down every time I encounter some bizarre or interesting names at work, so please tell me what you think! I've been collecting stand alone names and combos, as well - here are the sibsets for now.

Maisie, Jacob, Lucian, Brock, Luna-Freya, Ormania

---

Cruz (m), Nova, Layla, Allara, Mason, Carter

---

Loki, Baye (m), Joel, Nate, Trae (m), Zara, Charlotte, Sierra, Emily, Aalyiah

---

Khaos & Blaze - twin boys, Gypsy (f), Karmah (f), Petah (f), Mahlee (f)

Rexton, Abigale, Tianna

Rooklyn (f), Aleigha, Armani (f)

---

My thoughts :

---

Holden & Valiant - Twin boys. Just imaging the teasing - oh my gosh

---

Krishna (f), Kyle & Katie - I don't think naming a little girl after a Hindu God is a good idea. I think this name is exclusively used for men, as well.

---

Brave (m), Dove (f) and Monroe (f) - Brave has a lot to live up to! I like this sibset together, even though I'd prefer them all as character names.

---

Brenton, Larkara (f), Peter, Trey (m), Earleigh (f) - I don't really like this bunch together. I Googled Earleigh and it appears to be a surname? I thought it was a misspelling of Early. Early is a far better name that Earleigh, in my opinion

---

Layken (m), Zahalee (f), Blaiyze (f) - I don't like any of these, NMS at all

---

Maisie, Jacob, Lucian, Brock, Luna-Freya, Ormania - interesting. It's as though they became more creative the more kids they had. Definitely couldn't decide between Luna or Freya. Ormania would make a good character name. My favourite is Maisie.

---

Cruz (m), Nova, Layla, Allara, Mason, Carter - modern sibset, however I think it works. My favourite is Nova.

---

Loki, Baye (m), Joel, Nate, Trae (m), Zara, Charlotte, Sierra, Emily, Aaliyah - I like their girls name choices. Aaliyah stands out and I don't like it in this sibset. Joel is okay, Nate I'd prefer Nathan, Loki reads like a dog or character name to me and Trae / Baye I don't care for.

---

Khaos & Blaze - twin boys, Gypsy (f), Karmah (f), Petah (f), Mahlee (f) - Most of these read as fabulous character names to me, especially Blaze, Chaos, Gypsy and Karma. I think Petah is a creative spelling of Peta, which is the Aussie female form of Peter. Mahlee I don't care for

---

Irie (f), Lace (f), Harper (m) - Irie is my favourite, it's pretty. Not sure how I feel about Harper on a boy, although I don't much care for it on a girl, either. I don't like "Harp" "Harps" or "Harpie", I just think about harping on rather than beautiful harps playing. Lace I don't care for.

---

Ariel (f), Emelia, Elon, Jasper - I like them all and I like them together, although I would probably prefer Arielle and Amelia

---

Ryker (m), Marley (m), Morrison (m), Clover (f) - Ryker I really dislike and Marley is one of those modern names that I don't understand the hype around. A missed opportunity to use Morris, far better than Morrison in my opinion, and has great nickname potential "Mo", "Morrie". Clover nn "Clo" or "Clove" really is sweet, and it is a guilty pleasure for me, however it would be better as a character name.

---

Cecelia, Mason, Jayden - Jayden and Mason are NMS, however I do love seeing Cecelia. It's lovely.

---

Jimmy, Mara, Mania (m), Mikaere (m) - Mikaere is the Maori form of Michael. Mania is the Goddess of the dead and we all know that mania = crazy so that makes Mania a name far to burdensome for a little boy. Great character name idea, though.

---

River-Chase (m), Phoenix (m) - I don't like double-barreled names for the most part, however I think these two work as a set. I'd prefer them however as character names

---

Arthur, Charles, Cecelia, Lauchlin (m) - I think Lauchlin is the Scottish form of Lachlan? I like Lachlan, it's popular here, however in this sibset I'd remove it and go for something to fit the classic vibes : Laurence. Laurie, Art, Charlie and Cece. How cute.

---

Kaizer (m), Brax (m), Jaxten (m), Harlix (m), Khylan (m), Jahvarni (f) - I don't like any of these, not to my taste at all

---

Rapcidee (f), Szialah (f) - Rhapsody was apparently too much, haha. I don't like "Rap" or "Rapie" as potential nicknames, either. I don't think it translates well as a name. But how to pronounce Szialah - Zee-ah-lah? Sigh-la? Who knows.

---

Daniel-Craig, Ashanti, Rodney, Cara-Louise - I wondered if they have ever Googled who Daniel Craig is, haha. Unusual mix - super modern, super dated and two random names smooshed together

---

Isabelle, Oliver, Felix, Poppy - popular names, however I think they're cute and work well together as a sibset.

---

Rexton, Abigale, Tianna - I'd prefer the girl's names conventionally spelt. I don't care for Rexton and I'm not huge on Abigale. My favourite is Tiana. I'd rather Abby / Abbie, Rex and Tiana together as a sibset.

---

Rooklyn (f), Aleigha, Armani (f) - Apparently Brooklyn is too mainstream and they wanted to stand out with Rooklyn and I don't like it. "Rook" as a nickname isn't cute - far better as a character name, in my opinion. Aleigha I prefer as Aaliyah. Armani to me is a brand name and I don't like "Arm" or "Mani" as nicknames.
