LN: Spencer

Father: Nathaniel Ryan (45)
Mother: Rasia Skye (43)

DS/DS (17): Damian Jeremiah/Caden Joel "Cade"
DD/DD (16): Aurora Mallory "Rory"/Rhea Mackenzie
DS (14): Levi Justin
DD (13): Nora Claire
DS (12): Alden Gregory
DS/DD (11): Julian Gabriel/Delilah Gabrielle
DS (9): Sebastian Owen "Bastian"
DS (7): Jesse Logan
DD (3): Margaret Ariana
DD (due in 5 months): Seraphina Leslie

Main Character

In the story, Rory meets a new boy named Sirus Hawke (goes by Hawke). He really likes her, and she likes him as well. However, she doesn't see her own self worth and thinks that he is only pursuing her because she is the only girl at school who doesn't fawn at his feet. He spends the story trying to convince Rory that she is worth loving, and she eventually believes him.

Should I keep the names or try something new? Your input is appreciated!

Just my preferences...

I prefer Damien to Damian. Damien Joel is really handsome. I don't think Caden and Damien go together at all for a sibling set. I'm not really a fan of Jeremiah. What about Damien and .... Hunter, Nicholas, Liam, Seth, Zachary, Patrick, or Alexander. Two fave combos of mine are Damien Rhys and Alexander Cole.

I love Aurora with the nickname Rory. I also like just Aurora. I'm not a fan of Mallory and I don't think it flows best with Aurora. The "or" sound throws off the flow. Rhea and Aurora are such different styles, I can't see them as siblings, let alone twins. I don't like Mackenzie at all. What about:

Some names that go with Aurora:
Anastasia*, Anneleise, Ariella*, Arabella*, Arianna, Amelia

Some "M" names for the middle name:
Madeline*, Makenna, Mariah, Marissa, Megan, Melanie, Melody*, Meredith, Michelle

I love Aurora Madeline and Anastasia Melody. What do you think?

I like Levi and I like Justin, but not together. I don't think either names go well with Aurora and other siblings. Names similar to Levi that would fit: Caleb, Ethan, Noah, Liam, Isaac, Luke, Logan, Hunter, Owen, Blake, Benjamin.

I love Nora, but I think it is waaay to close to Aurora, even if she goes by Rory. Similar names to Nora: Olivia, Ella, Grace, Emma, Chloe, Charlotte, Addison, Sophia, Lydia.

Possible combos:
Ella Grace
Ella Charlotte
Olivia Claire
Olivia Charlotte
Lydia Claire
Lydia Grace
Emma Grace
Emma Claire
Sophia Grace
Sophia Claire
Addison Sophia
Addison Grace

I have never heard of Alden before. It sounds like a last name, and again, I don't think it works with the other siblings' names. It does flow with Gregory. I think if there was a meaning as to why he was named Alden, it may work.

I have never been a fan of Julian or Gabriel. I think you should choose one or the other. Or here are some possible names: Christian, Gavin, Jacob, Joshua, Daniel, Evan, Andrew. I don't like Delilah, but I do like Gabrielle. Actually, I prefer Gabriella. I like how you linked the twins with their middle names, but I think doing it subtley would be better. Like Christian and Christine or Daniel and Danielle. Andrew and Andrea. Something like that. Christian Jacob and Gabriella Christine sound nice!

I think Sebastian works really well! I don't like that Sebastian and Owen end in harsh "n" sounds. Choose one or the other.

I like Jesse and Logan. Not sure if I like them together. If I had to choose one, it would be Jesse.

I don't like Margaret Ariana, sorry. I don't think it flows well together. Elizabeth, Caroline, Evelyn, Lucy, Abigail, Hannah, and Catherine would work. Actually, I really like Lucy! Arianna Lucy or Lucy Arianna would work. (I prefer Arianna to Ariana, but still pronounced Ari-onna)

I like Seraphina. I think it goes really well with Aurora and Anastasia (if you were to use Anastasia). I don't like Leslie though. It's just not pretty to me. Scarlett and Violet are similar to it and would work well as a sibling name.

I hope I helped. I know it probably seems like I ripped all of your names to shreads. :) Sorry about that. This is just how I feel.

So, if it were up to me, this is what I would name them:

LN: Spencer

Father: Nathaniel Ryan (45)
Mother: Rasia Skye (43)

DS/DS (17): Damien Rhys and Alexander Cole (Alex)
DD/DD (16): Aurora Madeline (Rory) and Anastasia Melody (Anna)
DS (14): Ethan James or Noah James
DD (13): Hannah Olivia
DS (12): Alden Gregory
DS/DD (11): Nicholas Aiden (Nick) and Elizabeth Hayden (Lizzy)
DS (9): Sebastian Blake (Bastian)
DS (7): Jacob Logan (Jake)
DD (3): Lucy Claire
DD (due in 5 months): Seraphina Grace

Good luck!

I also like the oppostie initials for Damien and his twin, and I love Declan. So, what are some good J or R names that go with Damien?
