August Babyberries: Singlets, Triplets and Twins
By Linda Rosenkrantz
This month, in addition to a by-now-expected goldmine of gorgeously creative individual August baby names, we have two pairs of twins and one set of triplets:
Nathan Daniel and Edward Harris
Katelyn Elizabeth, Perry Grayson and Johnson Tucker
A preponderance of boys this month, some of them with particularly adventurous names, including Boone, Hawk, Jericho, Johnson and Theron—as well as girls named Channing and Belline.
We also noticed many more consonant-starting names than usual: could be coincidence, could be a trend.
Girls
Audrey Juliet Sophia, sister of Maximus Alexander
“When we saw an ultrasound picture of her little face, we knew she was an Audrey. I’ve been in love with the name Juliet for years, and Sophia is after my husband’s sister. We wanted a name that felt classy and sophisticated and we are very happy with our choice!”
Belline Louise
Celeste Marie–Louise, sister of Emma Elizabeth
Channing Klein
Emersyn Rose, sister of Parker Raymond, Brooklyn Mae, Finnley James and Savannah Grace
Eva Celeste, sister of Anna Sofia
Frances Maybelle, sister of Clyde William
Greer Isabel, sister of Maeve Alice
Ingrid Magnolia–Jane, sister of Serafina Audrey and Beatrice Lucy
Ivy Juliette, twin of May Vivienne, sister of Anna Rose
Katelyn Elizabeth, triplet of Perry Grayson and Johnson Tucker, sister of Jefferson Kent
Louise Andrea Wilhelmina Emilie, sister of Jonas Hans and Paul Daniel
“Louise: as we liked a classic name, we thought it would suit our princess, a name to fit our very Dutch last name, easy on the ears in international context, complementing her big brothers names/same styles, a name that is not in the Top 50 in our country at the moment.” For more on her middle names, check the Birth Announcement forum.
May Vivienne, twin of Ivy Juliette, sister of Anna Rose
Sofia Neve, sister of Maxim Arthur
BOYS
“We decided on Angelo fairly quickly. My mother-in-law is Italian, hence the Italian sound. And Angelo is a name I’ve loved since I was a teenager. We were a bit concerned that the connection to the angel Gabriel would be too strong, but in the end I decided to follow my heart and just use the name I love. And yes, it’s deliberate the connection.”
Boone Finley Paul, brother of Daphne June
“All three given names are family names to honor different sides of our families. And while we gave Daphne just one middle name, we are thinking this may be our last baby, so Boone received one extra so we could cover our bases.”
Breslin John
Connor James, brother of Kyan Morgan
Edward Harris, twin of Nathan Daniel
Gabriel Ethan, brother of Cicely Grace, Adelaide Hope, and Emmeline Blythe
Hawk Wilder, brother of North Benjamin
“Holden was named after the protagonist of “Catcher in the Rye.” DH is a big fan of the book and he sneakily started calling our baby Holden during the last few months of my pregnancy. It worked—when I met our little guy no other name fit. Good thing I love it!”
Hudson Henry, brother of Evie Marguerite
Johnson Tucker, triplet of Perry Grayson and Katelyn Elizabeth, brother of Jefferson Kent
“John was converted into Johnson, because not only is Johnson still honoring the John in his family, it’s honoring my family too, because Johnson is my maiden name…(oh, yeah, and now all my kids have NNs that all have four letters: Jeff, Gray, Kate, and Tuck! How cute!)”
Miles Alexander, brother of Vivienne Sophia and Helena Elizabeth
Nathan Daniel, twin of Edward Harris
Nolan Eli, brother of Milo Randall
Perry Grayson, triplet of Katelyn Elizabeth and Johnson Tucker, brother of Jefferson Kent
Stellan James, brother of Isabeau Belen and Juniper Anne
“Bound to bring our family luck, Stellan rounds out our sibset with yet another 7 letter first name!”
Sutton Ellsworth, brother of Callum Owen, Aletta Isobel, Leopold Elijah, Arabella Audrey, and Alice Olivia
Theodore “Teddy” Waits, brother of Jenna Lorraine and Eliza Juliet
“His middle name is an old family name in honor of my dad, who doesn’t have any sons, and his first name was inspired by many famous Theodores and applauded by my fellow Berries.”
Theron River, brother of Trey and Natiley
“I narrowed it down to Theron, Leighton, and Bryant. After he was born, my oldest son was already calling him Theron River, so that is what we went with!”
