These names are different to my children'e names, but me and DH just cannot agree on any boy names. He loves Magnus, while I don't hate it I think it is too strong for siblings Charlie and Tilly.

DH likes Norse and strong sounding names, so far the ones I didn't completely nix were Arlo and Corben.

opinions on these names please :)

I think Arlo is the Italian version of Charles? Personally I like it.

Also like Otto...

Genuine question - does it really matter how siblings' names go together? They spend such a tiny proportion of their lives being spoken of in the same breath, don't they?

I guess if two had a really strong similarity and then #3 was hugely different I might briefly notice it. But I don't think either Magnus or Arlo are wow!outthere next to Tilly and Charlie.

Another vote for Otto and Soren, and most of all for Asa which I've already earmarked for as-yet-imaginary DS2. Grin

How about Torrin - it's a village on Skye and there's a chap who broadcasts on R4 called Torrin Douglas.

Carlo is the Italian version of Charles. It is not related to Arlo at all.

Sorry, but Torin Douglas's name was spelled that way, not with 2 x 'R'. Torin is a Gaelic name, probably meaning 'chief'.

'Na Torrain' is a settlement on Skye; the name means 'little hills' - it is plural.www.gaelicplacenames.org/databasedetails.php?id=343 The Gaelic singular would be 'Torran'; the place name has I think been angicised as 'Torrin' but it is not generally used as a personal name. I suppose it could be, however...
