    Messing around with a name list

    Just because I can :P
    I don't really see why people care so much about 'sib sets' (overrated, IMO), but hypothetically, if I believed in using them, which of these names would you group together? Any suggestions for middle names for some of them? Any names that might fit well? (Please don't give me long lists, though)
    Here are the names I like right now (I'm only 19, and kids are not even remotely and option right now, but I just like picking out names for fun )
    The names are:
    Gabriel Kenneth (Kenneth is my Dad’s name)
    Asa Kenneth
    Coen
    Gideon
    Miles
    Reid
    Hugh
    Mathias
    Kieran
    Luke
    Charlie

    Here's what I like together:
    Asa and Gideon
    Asa and Mathias
    Gideon and Mathias
    Gideon and Miles
    Luke and Gabriel
    Luke and Mathias
    Gabriel and Mathias
    Gabriel and Miles
    Miles and Reid
    Miles and Hugh
    Miles and Luke
    Reid and Kieran
    Hugh and Reid

    Coen I find too problematic (although this spelling less so than Coen), it also doesn't seem to go with the others. It goes best with Reid, I think, if you do use it. Coen and Hugh might work as well.

    Charlie I don't really care for because I don't like nicknames as names. Charlie or Charles would go well with Miles or Hugh.

    A few middle thoughts...
    Asa Kenneth and Gideon Miles is nice.
    Gabriel Kenneth and Luke Mathias is nice.

    Happy further playing : D.

    Thanks for your input
    I just kinda tossed Coen in there because it's the only Dutch name I liked (Dutch heritage is big on my dad's side of the family).
    And while I do prefer full formal names instead of nicknames, I get bad vibes from both Charles and Lucas (*cringe*), and much prefer their nicknames. Although, in reality, I probably wouldn't choose either Charlie or Luke because I'm paranoid about popularity. o.O

    I love your taste in names!
    For siblings, I like: Gabriel, Miles, Hugh, & possibly an addition of Seth
    OR Gideon, Mathias, & possible addition of Boaz
    I also love Reid and think it would fit in well with most of your names!

    You may also like Grant and Gable.

    Grouping names together in sibsets is just the way my mind works. I'm a very organized person and I like names to sound and look good together. They can be from different styles (eg. classic/traditional names can be paired with mythological names or vintage names) as long as they're not too different (personally, I wouldn't pair a unisex name with a super frilly girls name for two sisters. It just doesn't sit well with my version of order ). Whatever floats your boat, right?

    One-Syllable Sibsets: Miles, Reid and Hugh (Luke if Hugh is not chosen)

    Biblical Sibset: Asa, Gideon, Matthias (Gabriel if Gideon is not chosen)

    Casual, Laid-Back Sibset: Luke and Charlie (Coen or Kieran)
    All the best,
    Mischa.

    Oh my goodness! You guys are geniuses! Asa Benjamin, Miles Eliot/Elliott, Reid Alexander, Mathias Henry, Charlie Finn, and Grant (how did I miss that one?) are all names I'd add to the 'future contenders' list. Hopefully I'll be able to use these one day. I don't want to settle and name my child Mason or something equally as common. :/
