Hypothetical sibset

[chillinbabejodi.livejournal.com]

Frederick John nn Freddie
Leona Kate
Esther Sophie

WDYT? Do they fit together well? Another boy name to go in the sibset? I was thinking Seth, but it sounds weird said next to Esther to me.

Also, wdyt of Veda? Middle name ideas?

Frederick John sounds weird to me but that is probably because my husband is Jonathan Frederick :-P

I am not a fan of Esther, sounds like an 80 year old to me. Without Esther I would say Seth fits fine into the sibset

To me, Kate is a nickname and I think it would sound better as Leona Catherine.

I like Seth. I don't see why it wouldn't fit with the rest of the names on the list.

Something seems off about Esther Sophie. I can't quite place my finger on what it is that's bothering me about it, but it's just not jiving quite right with the others. I think Evelyn or Edith would fit slightly better.

I really like Frederick John. John and Kate are both on my list for potential middle names.

I hate the name Seth. That aside, I don't think it goes well with the other names at all. I agree that it is weird with Esther too.

I'm not 100% sold on all of these with that sibset but...
Boy ideas:
Clark
Harrison
Theodore (the drawback with this is Teddy wouldn't really be an option for a nn, unless you don't mind the Freddie-Teddy rhyme. Theo is nice though.)
Felix
Robert
Algernon
William
Sebastian
Nathaniel
Malcolm
George
Quentin
Rupert

John and Kate plus eight. Sorry, couldn't think that reading that comment.

And I agree, something just slightly off about Esther.

I chose the nicknames to honour family members so I'll probably keep them as John and Kate rather than Jonathan and Catherine or whatever.. But thanks for pointing that out.

Seth would probably be a nn for Joseph, because I love Joey, but it rhymes with my husbands name and he isn't keen, but likes Seth.

Thank you for the suggestions. I love so many of them, especially Theodore, Sebastian and William (I can't believe I hadn't already thought of that).

Arthur Seth could work.

I think Veda sounds pretty theoretically, but I can't shake the My Girl reference, which makes it sound so early 90's to me...

I love Veda. <3

Just realized that I didn't comment on the Veda portion of the post.

Veda makes me think of Darth Vadar sometimes when I read it. Other times, I think it sounds kind of pretty. I don't think it really goes with the style of the other names in this hypothetical sibset.

My first thought for a middle name was Veda Wren.

Other ideas:
Veda Penelope
Veda Lenore
Veda Maeve
Veda Felicity
Veda Claire
Veda Hermione
