Making an all boy sibset

[kyemsma]

Ooh, fun! Here are my picks:

Arthur, Frederick, Louis, Theodore, and Walter.

Wow, great names! I don't know if these are the ones that make the best "set" but I'd use August, Ezra, Felix, Theodore, and Walter.

Funky vintage: Ezra, Grover, Ira, Rex, and Van
Regal vintage: Arthur, Frederick, Harold, Louis, and Theodore
Wild card quintet that I like: August, Edgar, Felix, Ike, and Louis

My recommendation is ...

01. Arthur [and] Edgar
02. Ezra [and] Felix
03. Frederick [and] Louis
04. Harold [and] Grover
05. Ira [and] Rex
06. Theodore [and] Walter

... as possible sibsets. [I feel that the names on your list are most complementary in twos.]

As I was playing around with the names. Suddenly the poet names jumped out at me.

Edgar - Edgar Allan Poe
Walter - Walt Whitman
Ezra - Ezra Pound
Theodore - Theodore Roethke

so I'm adding

Alfred - Alfred Tennyson -- since you liked August and Arthur I thought this one might appeal. It is a little similar to Edgar but I figure you can use Edgar first and Alfred last to spread them out a bit.

Edgar, Walter, Ezra, Theodore, and Alfred

What awesome boys! Can you tell I use to teach English =)

EDA: And if you want to stretch it just a bit you could sub in Louis for one of those boys names for Robert Louis Stevenson or Byron for Lord Byron would be an awesome addition as well.

Thank you so much for all the replies!! It seems like most of the names go together, which is great news! Now I just have to pick which to use first!
For those who asked I am pronouncing Louis the French way (Loo-ee)
Bonus points for anyone can think of sister names! I am still so stuck on girls names!
Thank you again!
