Sibling for William?

[ofsheffield]

Please help me with some suggestions of a good name for a sibling of William. Gender unknown. Thanks in advance!

Scarlett
Caroline
Daisy

Benjamin
Thomas
Warwick

Harry or Henry for a boy
Katherine or Harriet for a girl.

Joseph or Claire

I'd avoid obvious royal pairings like William and Mary, or William and Kate. Probably wouldn't pick Harry either for the same reason.

Anthony
Alexander
Edgar

Susan/Suzanne
Amanda
Second Caroline

Edward seems like a strong match. My other ideas would be Henry or George.

For girls I think Harriet, Isabelle or Amelia would all be lovely. I think longer girls names sit well alongside William x

Emily
Alice
Ruby
Lily

Robert
James
Oscar
Andrew

Jack/Albert
Jessica/Esme

Thomas. James. Michael. Matthew. Francis. Arthur. George. Christopher
David. Daniel. Joseph. Andrew. Steven. Alexander. Oliver. Connor.

Rebecca. Lucy. Amelia. Sofia. Emily. Hannah. Florence. Elizabeth. Isabella
Charlotte. Alice. Grace. Daisy. Penelope. Sarah.

For a boy, I think Henry, Arthur and Jude sound nice with William.

For a girl, maybe Alice, Isabelle or Emily.

The little Williams I know have siblings called:

Florence
Abigail
Elsie
Clara
Sebastian
Joseph

Jude
Rowan
Lucas
Arthur
Tobias

Matilda
Amelia
Violet
Penelope
Harriet

Thanks for the lovely ideas xx

William and David
William and Ivor

William and Imogen
William and Emmeline
William and Clara
William and Delphi

Some really good ideas here thank you! I am so drawn to royal names like Edward and Elizabeth but think it's probably a bit much?!

The Williams we know tend to have a brother called Thomas or Oliver.
If they have a third son, he is George or Edward.

Seriously we know a few families with those names.

I think Elizabeth is a good strong name op. I dont think it is too much.

Other ideas

Mary
Alexandra
Francesca
Jacqueline

Robert
Nicholas
Christopher
Alexander

I think both Edward and Elizabeth are good, and not too much. Classic names.

Arabella
Artemis
Sarah

Clementine

Michael
Laurence
Richard

Girl-

Henry
Arthur

William. is a strong traditional name, so assuming you want the same kind of name:

Girls
Georgina
Emma
Louise
Eliza (or Elizabeth)
Victoria
Sarah
Amy
Hannah
Ellen/Eleanor

Boys
Edward
Andrew
James
Robert
Daniel
David
Thomas

Eleanor
Mary
Margot
Penelope

Alexander
Mathias
Louis
Jacob

I'd go for another Royal name if that's what your drawn to but not Harry / Henry or Kate / Catherine.
