Tilly, Elsie and Flora

and

Caspar
Edward nn Woody, or even Chip 😁 or Bear
Rowan
Robert nn Robin or Bobby or just Robin as a full name
Francis/Franklin nn Frank
Rupert nn Bear
Wolfe
Barnaby/Barnabas nn Barney
Leo
Alexander nn Sandy
anything you like nn Buddy - which is just a traditional term for a little brother
Soloman nn Sonny (or something like Jackson or Harrison - I do think it’s too nn’y for a full name.
Dylan
Corin
Toby
Merlin (nn Merry)
Ernest nn Ernie
Arnold nn Arnie
Arthur nn Art/ie
Noah
Jonah

Jean
Joanna nn Jojo or Joni
Beatrice nn Bea
Lucy

I like Mabel and Cleo as PP suggests

George - I like it but it’s quite a different mood to his sister’s names
Kenny I think it’s a bit too early to revive..
Hugo - same as George
Joie (“Joy”) too much pressure
Rose - I like it but one floral name is enough I always think
Beatrice - nn Bea - works really well

Rumplestiltz · 30/12/2023 19:20

Ethel must be due a comeback! It’s a great name. It makes me think of the beautiful older sister in Just William

MistletoeRegrets · 30/12/2023 19:20

Rose, or Ivy for a girl.

Below stairs names for boys are a bit trickier. (The ones you suggest seem too contemporary!)

Stanley
Arthur
Albert

That sort of thing …

ICouldHaveCheckedFirst · 30/12/2023 19:13

2 syllables, to keep the pattern.
Of those already suggested, Clover is too close to Flora, but Daisy, Mabel, Nancy. would work, as they have a different vowel sound from the existing sibling names.
Same rules would apply to a boy's name.

Can’t imagine a 20/30 yr old called Ethel, but it does suit their name theme

Familiaritybreedscontemptso · 30/12/2023 19:10

Ethel?

Gaggley · 30/12/2023 19:08

Gretel for a girl
Dominic for a boy

Thora is a bit too close to Flora, but thanks for the others…
I like Rose too but my brother wouldn’t want it shortened to Rosie as it gives him Rosie and Jim vibes
