We’re expecting our second child, our DS is Reuben with a one syllable surname.
There are a few names we like but none that we love yet, other than the name Phoebe but it’s the name of my mum and dads cat (who I named 12 years ago, because I love the name!) so I don’t feel like I can use it. Please can I have some suggestions based on our list:

Phoebe
Ada
Edith/Edie
Hallie
Cora
Violet
Imogen

Jasper
Felix
Noah
Otis
Max
Henry

I've got a Reuben his brother is Eben. I also had Jespar, Otto, Jago and Nico on my boys list. For girls I had Cleo, Anna, Nico and Nina.

What is the criterion for a name that matches Reuben? I’m not sure why siblings’ names need to “match” anyway but the only unifying factor in your listed names seems to be that they’re all really middle class.

rye?

Moonshine160 · 22/01/2022 20:56

Thanks everyone for your suggestions and thanks @girljulian for your useless comment. I never said they needed to “match”.

Amelia /Emelia, Harriet.

I think you can definitely still use Phoebe. As long as it’s not your cat it’s not too confusing, and (gently) the cat is getting older.

Freya, Florence, Felicity, Olive, Beatrice, Lucy, Sylvie, Romy, Pippa all have a similar feel IMO.

I know Reubens with the siblings:
George
Harry
Aaron
Caleb
Isaac
