Sibling for Westley

I'm looking for a name that isn't in the top 100, but can't seem to find any that feel "right". I'm not tied to names of any particular culture, but would like to use correct spellings.

For boys, we like but don't love:
Gerard "Gerry"
Errol
Zachary (too popular)
Scott
Felix (too popular in our area)

For girls, we like but don't love:
Maeve (too popular in our area)
Clara (doesn't suit our surname)
Annika
Orla
Ursula

Any ideas?

Also like Stefan and Gwendolyn, but they are already in the family! We area part Jewish, so you don't name children after living relatives.

Buttercup.
Indigo.

Autocorrect.
I meant Inigo

I quite like Adam, but it's the name of an ex that was a horrible person. I don't know if I could shake that association.

I like Jacqueline, but as DH is Jack, it would feel like it's after him!

The others aren't ones I particularly like.

Lol at Buttercup and Inigo. That is where Westley got his name...

That's the only place I'd ever heard it. I actually love Inigo. I'm not so sure about Buttercup!

I also have to say that the only conceivable (arf) names are Inigo and Buttercup.

I've added Ernest, Stellan, and Sabrina to the list! Unfortunately, Sabrina is a good friend's name, so it's unlikely that DH will be on board!

Also wanted to say thanks for the info re Jewish naming traditions. I love learning things like that!

Monica or Lawrence.

EnragedToddler · 12/03/2022 22:47

Maddox is interesting. Would it be really strongly associated with Brad Pitt/Angelina Jolie?
