I was just wondering what are the best sibling names you've heard. I think it's intersting what names people think work well together.

do you mean nice, go well together names, or ones that make you laugh?

taffetacat · 11/02/2010 16:56

Sam and Ella

say it fast

Can't write what they are in case my friend (who's DH it is) is on MN but basically, her DH has the same name as his brother only with a different galic spelling. So one spells the name in one language and one in another. They're both lovely names but I'd never heard of parents doing that before.

Someone I worked with has twin boys called Jack and Daniel.

Charlie and Billy, any guesses what their parents were into?

Summer and Autumn

A friends DH wanted to call thier twin boys either Tom and Jerry or Ben and Jerry

He didnt get his way!

My friend's two boys are Mordecai and Tobias. I think they sound lovely together. (Mordecai is usually known as Kai and Tobias as Tobe - the abbreviations work too.)

My dad once had clients - a Muslim family - and all 3 boys had the exact same first name. Like George Foreman and his 5 sons, all called George. Why would you do that?

randomama · 12/02/2010 18:08

I used to babysit brothers George and Harrison

my 2 dd's are Ellie and Hattie whic I think go nicely (orinally dd2 was going to be Charlotte nickname Lottie so would have been Ellie and Lottie!)

LuciaRose · 16/02/2010 10:35

I meant names that sound really nice together, not funny! For example, I know a brother and sister called Felix and Flora - I think they sound lovely together.

My sisters DC are

Harvey
Charlotte
Finley
Toby
Lilian

She is 18 weeks pregnant with number 6 and if its a girl it will be Alexandra or Zachary if its a boy. I think all the names are lovely.

SE13Mummy · 16/02/2010 12:32

We have Harriet and Miriam aka Hattie and Mim so would say that they go well together. Miriam would have been Jude if she'd been a boy.

Mine are Adam, Ben, Rosie, Jack and Lucy which I think go pretty well together in that they are all short and easy to spell.

My friend's are Sammie,Terri, Lewis, Michaela and Harley which I don't really like (just like she doesn't like mine ) but think they fit together.

We have an Oliver and Poppy...but I wanted Oliver and Florence!

My 4 dd's all have hyphenated names so they all seem to go.

My fil is a twin and his sister is called Jill, his name unsurprisingly is Jack Their mum must have been a comic!

Dp is called Lee and his next closest brother is called Perry, we always wonder if MIL had a fetish for sauce.

"My dad once had clients - a Muslim family - and all 3 boys had the exact same first name. Like George Foreman and his 5 sons, all called George. Why would you do that?"

I know exactly why! because I spend half the day saying the wrong child's name. I wish I had listened to ds1 who wanted to give both his brothers the same name as him! lol

allaboutme · 17/02/2010 20:43

I know a family where the mum and dad took it in turns to name a child, so DCs 1,3 and 5 have very very unusual ultra modern names and DCs 2 and 4 have traditional english, much more popular/common names!

florencepink · 17/02/2010 23:10

I know of an Eva and an Ivor though they are step brother and sister so not planned that way!
