    Uninspired

    My husband and I aren't thrilled with our boys list - nothing seems to be "clicking". We have a few favorites that are still strong contenders, but we'd love some new ideas.

    So tell us - what would you name Willa, Cora, and Sybil's little brother?

    Thanks!

    With Willa, Cora, and Sybil -- I get the feeling that you like uncommon yet familiar names on the shorter side of things. I get a little quirky vibe too. These names feel right on a tomboy as much as a Southern belle.

    Some ideas with that information in mind:

    Noah (although maybe a little too popular for you)
    Louis / Lewis
    Leo
    Edmund / Edwin
    Ezra
    Emil
    Oscar
    Theo
    August
    Hugo
    Elias / Eli
    Ari
    Adrian
    Isaac
    Jasper
    Tomas / Thomas
    Abraham / Bram
    Jonah
    Nico (maybe too trendy for you)

    Good luck --- I think I'll be able to make some better guesses once I see if any of these appeal to you.

    Willa, Cora, and Sybil were all relatively popular around 1930, so I looked for boys' names with the same level of popularity (between 300 and 1000 children receiving the name) around then. Some out-of-the-box ideas that I think fit your style, from most to least popular in 1930, for what that's worth:

    Morris
    Willis
    Lyle
    Otis
    Edmund
    Clifton
    Leland
    Clinton
    (just for your amusement, Jacob fell between these two)
    Wilfred
    Rufus
    Malcolm
    Fredrick (this spelling in 1930, but Frederick would be good now)
    Dwight
    Rex
    Forrest
    Ellis
    Ruben
    Felix
    Grady
    Conrad
    Byron
    Amos
    Otto
    August (great match for your girls)
    Dominick
    Stuart
    Grover
    Preston
    Grant
    Wade
    Moses
    Jasper
    Lionel (love this too)

    My recommendation is ...

    01. August [or] Emmett [or] Felix [or] Jasper [or] Leo
    02. Cora
    03. Sybil
    04. Willa

    ... a sibset comprised of currently popular "Edna" names [Nameberry term] with a modern feel.
