Sibling Names 👶👶

Sister names, brother names, gender-neutral sibling names!

Naming siblings is something I hope to have the pleasure of doing in the future — particularly naming sisters (because girl names > boy names, IMHO).

If you’re stuck at square one, start with our ultimate guide to sibling names. But if you need some ideas for naming sisters, our blog this week will help you out. We published our guide to sister names, where we tell you combos that are currently popular, stylish unique sets, and our favorite starbaby sister examples. 👯‍♀️

Name of the Week: Phineas

List of the Week: Gender-Neutral Names

Gender-neutral names are appropriate for siblings of any combination of sexes. We just updated our list of names that qualify as truly gender-neutral, i.e. those that are used for girls and boys in equal numbers.

What would you name siblings using this list? My picks are Ira Ramsey Kit and Joan Bellamy Jael, which upon reflection, don’t feel as gender-neutral as I’d hoped. 🤷🏻‍♀️
