Me and my fiancé have been discussing baby names should I fall pregnant any time soon, and we just can't come to a decision on what ideas to think up. I always promised that I would name our first daughter in honor of the baby sister that he lost, Angel Victoria, but we figured that with a 55% chance of twins, we have no idea what we would call the other potential child. 

 

We are a very Gothic couple, and we love ethereal, eclectic and dark names, but we want to resist the urge of going for the typical goth-child names like Morticia and Friday (courtesy of Addams Family Values), Jack and Sally (Nightmare Before Christmas), Raven, Night, Silver, Dusk or Luna. Our Surname will be Iles. 

 

Does anyone have any ideas on perfect names for my future babybats? Both sex names are highly appreciated. 

 

(PS: I have a particular fondness for Jacob as a middle name for my son).

If you don't want to use Angel Victoria exactly, you could use names similar to Angel and Victoria that still honor your fiancé's sister, for either gender.

 

Names that Honor Angel/Victoria:

AngelaAngelicaAngelina Angelo | VictorVittoria

 

You could also honor Angel by choosing the name of an angel from the Bible, or a name that means angel.

 

Angel Names:

Gabriel | Michael | Castiel | Seraphina | Evangeline | Raphael

 

For gothic names, you could pick a name that means "dark," "black," "night," or something similar.

 

Dark/Black/Night/Etc. Names:

Blake | Cole | Darcy | Delaney | Donovan | Douglas | Duncan | Ebony | Jett | Kiera | Kieran | Layla/Leila | Lila | Lilith | Melanie | Raven | Sullivan
