Sibling names for Benjamin

31 replies

My DS is called Benjamin and while I love his name, I feel like if I pick another traditional name they might end up sounding old fashioned together, if that makes any sense!?

Our favourite girl's name is Sophie but I feel like Ben and Sophie sound a bit 90s together, or am I overthinking? Also love Phoebe, Ivy, Maddie, Amelie, Francesca (Frankie).

Our favourite boy's name is Luca (Luc), but we also like Louis, Reuben and Elliott.

Would love some honest opinions about choosing timeless names that also sound current!

Like @Ineedadviceonnames says, Something that isn't current but not dated either.

Something like Vanessa or Melissa?

I love Benjamin and Sophie together, if that's you're favourite, definitely go for it. Sounds lovely.

My favourite of your boys names is Elliot, but Luca is really nice too. Don't over think it, just go with your favourites!

I think Ivy, Maddie, Francesca and all your boys names work beautifully with Benjamin.

Some other suggestions:
Florence
Pippa
Willow
Daisy
Isabella
Jasmine
Ophelia
Violet
Grace
Sophia (bit less 90s that Sophie)

Jude
Zachary
Declan
Ralph
Wilfred
Leo
Vincent
Jasper
Hector
Alexander
