I automatically associate Stafford with Staffordshire terriers (which I think are quite ugly dogs), so it's nms. I could see it being used on a boy though! Sieglinde

Stafford Alasdair!Mostly because Alasdair is my favorite boy's name at the moment, but also because I think it sounds great. Actually, all those combos are fantastic! I adore the first sibset; if I met four kids with those names I would absolutely give their parents a medal. The second set is also very cute, I love Stafford and Darcy as siblings.I've noticed that the names I tend to suggest as siblings all follow the same pattern and all come from my list, because I love all the names you've posted up here. Since I'm lazy, check out my list for ideas - I promise there'll be some good ones!A few ideas, just because I don't want you to hate me:Stafford and...Darcy (I adore this.)

Like Array, I associate it with college loans. :b It's also just so surname-y and therefore a bit stuffy to me (it even sounds similar to the word "stuffy" :-/). Another thing about it that bothers me--the word 'staff' at the beginning. Just think about it... And being a nurse, it brings to mind 'staph' which is short for a type of common infection (staphylococcus). Neither are great things to be associated with, and it's terribly likely that his name would get shortened to "Staff" from time to time. I LOVE all the siblings' names, but not Stafford. :(

For some reason, it makes me think of staff/staph infections.

I'm not a huge fan of Stafford, but I quite like Stanford.

It's one of my loans...(m)In the US, students can get Stafford loans from the government to help pay for college: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stafford_loanThat's what I immediately associate the name with, so I don't find it particularly scintillating. But it's fine for someone else--especially someone in Australia. :)Of your combos, I like Stafford Alasdair best. I'll try and think some up later, since I've got to run right now.Array
