We won\u2019t know the gender until he or she is born. We are pretty decisive about the boy name choice (Orion Wilde), but we are having problems deciding on a girl\u2019s name. We do have Wilde Grace chosen for a middle name for a girl. Our last name is Starkey. Siblings\u2019 names are: Carter Elliot, Holden Oliver, Harper Lucinda Amelie, and Everly James Irie.<\/p>\n<p>Names that we\u2019ve considered include:<\/p>\n<p>Tallulah<br \/>\nCallalisa<br \/>\nRosalind<br \/>\nAurora<br \/>\nLorelai<\/p>\n<p>Please let me know what your suggestions are! I look forward to hearing your opinion!<\/p>\n<p>Thank you,<br \/>\nRebecca Starkey<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>What I notice is that all four of your children have modern surname names, but your girl-name list this time is mostly older ultra-feminine names. As the sibling group increases in size, coordination seems less important, but I&#8217;d still be reluctant to change to a new style after four names of very well-coordinated style.<\/p>\n<p>With a larger sibling group, I focus mostly on siblings of the same sex as the new baby. So if this baby were to be a girl, the sister set is Harper, Everly, and ______. If you had asked for suggestions without telling me your current list of favorites, I would have gone for this sort of list:<\/p>\n<p>Aubrey<br \/>\nBraelyn<br \/>\nBrinley<br \/>\nCampbell<br \/>\nDelaney<br \/>\nDevany<br \/>\nEllis<br \/>\nFinley<br \/>\nGracen<br \/>\nHadley<br \/>\nHollis<br \/>\nJensen<br \/>\nKeelyn<br \/>\nKinsley<br \/>\nLane<br \/>\nLeighton<br \/>\nLennox<br \/>\nLinden<br \/>\nQuincy<br \/>\nQuinn<br \/>\nRilyn<br \/>\nRowan<br \/>\nTambry<br \/>\nTeagan<\/p>\n<p>But if your style HAS changed, I don&#8217;t see any particular reason not to go with it. It&#8217;s such an easy explanation: &#8220;We just used our favorite name each time.&#8221; And the middle names will help. I think my favorite option from your list is Aurora, though it may rule out using Orion later. If you&#8217;d like to save Orion, I think my next favorite option is Tallulah: it&#8217;s an older name, but I think of its current usage as more modern.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi Swistle, We are looking for a name for our fifth child, due at the end of February.
