I may be over thinking this, but I want to know just how well do siblings names need to flow? I love very traditional and beautiful names for girls (e.g. Louisa, Caroline, Katharine, Samantha, Nora, Lorraine), but my absolute favorite name for a boy is the Welsh name Rhydian. I would absolutely love to use this name for a boy, but will it stand out with the other names I love? Other boys names I like are William, Vincent, Henry, Harper, Lewis, Zachary, and Anthony. What do you think Do any of them flow well with Rhydian? Or does it matter as long as there is a love of all the names? Or what names do you think would be good with Rhydian that fit my style?

My advice is go for it if you love it!
The decision of naming your kids is very special and you should use the names that you love. Other's opinions don't matter, because after all, they are your kids ;)

My fave sib set from your names listed would be:

Rhydian
Vincent
Katharine
Louisa

I think that it is perfectly fine to use different styles. I like very elegant old fashioned names as well as a lot of "teen mom" names and see nothing wrong with using some of them together. As long as your kids names aren't like Ann and Annabel (Ann's name is in Annabel) or Holly and Molly (rhyming) or something of a simaler nature, I see no reason why u have to stick to one style of names.

I think as long a sibling names sound nice together and don't clash or sound too similar then it doesn't matter the origin/style of the name.  My taste is very eclectic in origin but the overall feel of the names I like usually have a southern/country sound to them.

To me, the most important par of a sibling set is that the names don't have similar sounds. Like to me Kayden and Brayden wouldn't be my preferred sibling set because they rhyme. But even if the styles are super different, its okay if they are names you absolutely love. I'd keep the name! Use all the names you LOVE. :)
