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.
