Unusual but fabulous sibling combinations

I know 3 siblings, all in their 20s, named Basil, Spike and Jemima.

I can't help but think how badass their parents must be! I envisage the whole family as really cool post-punk types. The kids are really great, upstanding people. I'm a little bit in awe to be honest!

Have you ever come across siblings whose names are odd, but it just somehow works?

These are all so great! Huge fan of Beatrix, Juniper, Romilly, Coraline and Pippa!

Think Spike has to be added to my list now. Probably chicken out and use it as a middle name.

Melody, Willow and Storm. Hippy-ish family.

Geranium3 · 23/02/2013 13:38

twin girls,felicity and caroline
unfortunately caroline ended up with the nickname "carrie" and ultimately felicity ended up with one........ fetch and carrie, oh dear, not so cool but quite amusing!!!!

BikeRunSki · 23/02/2013 13:25

I went to school with an Elaine, Luke and ...... Merlin!

YummyMummyFeelingFunny · 23/02/2013 13:14

I don't know if its unusual but it is fabulous...Beatrix, Juniper, Romilly, Coraline and Pippa. I don't personally know them, it's from a blog I follow!

BikeRunSki · 23/02/2013 11:58

My eldest sibling's name begins with A. Three more children later, my youngest one's name deliberately begins with Z.

xigris · 23/02/2013 11:54

I know a little boy called John Thomas...... I also worked with a man whose two young sons are called Cyril and Cedric ( I kid you not).

AKissIsNotAContract · 23/02/2013 10:34

Pebble and Bobby.

Flossy78 · 23/02/2013 10:25

At school I knew 3 brothers called Andrew, Torben and Buzz. Dread to think what a 4th boy would have been called! Confused

HoneyandRum · 23/02/2013 09:37

I know right now sibs called Loris (boy) and Cina (Sina) girl. The names are Italian, there's a famous Italian racecar driver called Loris. Also Thorin, Zander and Zoe (Thorin is named after Thorin Oakenshield from The Hobbit). Smile

WifeofPie · 22/02/2013 23:56

Oh I love this thread! Unfortunately I don't know anyone this cool Sad.

HoneyandRum · 22/02/2013 23:52

I knew of sibs called Bodica and Caractacus.

Also Dimitri and Evangelista.

acrabadabra · 22/02/2013 23:41

Gulliver and Zebedee.

I love Pepper. Dh would never have gone for it. Now dd is 20 months it would really suit her but she is her name and I obv love that too.

Rhubarbgarden · 22/02/2013 23:26

Xigris I know a Buzz too. I wouldn't say he's exactly humourless but he is painfully shy and very retiring. I know a shy Spike too funnily enough. They're not related though, so I've wandered off topic, sorry.
