Baby Names
Sibling Name to go with Dylan
in Baby Names
I have a daugther named Dylan. We are having another girl and considering a few names. I kind of wanted something more feminine this time around but not sure if that would "go" with Dylan. Thinking about: Emily, Taylor, Josephine, Devon, Skylar, Amelia... thoughts?

Re: Sibling Name to go with Dylan
I like Emily - I think it's a great, classic name. Some other suggestions:
Arden
Shea
Julia
Reese
Sheridan
Madeline
Kirsten
May I ask why you now want a more feminine name for your other child? Just curious - has your tastes changed or are you just tired of correcting people on the sex of your child. (Not flaming, I am honestly curious)
I think out of the ones listed the only feminine names you have are Josephine, Emily and Amelia, but I don't feel like the work with a (female) Dylan unless you plan on using Joey for a nn for Josephine.
After 7 years trying to concieve, 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs, my third IVF was a success!

Taylor, Devon, and Skylar are all boys names so they don't really fall into the more feminine category.
Josephine and Amelia are nice but I really can't see Amelia and Dylan as a female sibset. I would probably go with Taylor, that is by far the best crossover name to me.
Oh my goodness, you mentioned a boy's name on a girl and the snark squad came out in a hurry.
I think just about any of the names you listed would go with Dylan. Not a fan of Skylar and I don't think Amelia would go as well. I like Devon but the double d thing is weird to me. Josephine would be cute with NN Josie. I also think Taylor or Emily would go nicely with Dylan.
Some others that might be nice: Arden, Margot, Lane, Sloane, Audra or Audrey, Gwen, Romy, Rory and Avery (prefer these on a boy though), Quinn, Colby, Casey, Zoe
I think anything too feminine or classic would look really odd next to Dylan; if I got a card or letter from Wife, Husband, Dylan and Amelia, I would assume Dylan was a boy. I don't think that's the direction you want to go.
I vote for Taylor. Taylor is on the feminine side of unisex IMO, and I think it suits the same style/sounds great with big sister Dylan. I also like Schuyler, but splled like this.
I knew brothers named Dylan and Devin in high school. Not a fan of using two D names.
Other suggestions: Piper, Harper, Marlo, Kendall.
What snark squad? Krissy asked a legitimate question, and she did so very respectfully.
I agree with the above. I don't think it would be fair to Dylan if you used a feminine name for her sister. I think you ought to stick with a unisex or boys names.
Morgan is another suggestion.
From your list, I think Taylor or Devin (seems a pinch more feminine to me spelled with the "i," maybe because that's the way the female Devin I know spells it) goes best.
Other suggestions: Quinn, Sloane, Brooke, or Joie (just saw this on here today for the first time - pronounced Joy-ee I believe). I also like PP suggestion of Morgan. And, I kinda like "Charlie" on little girls sometimes.

I know two girl Dylans. One is only 5 months, the other is about 12 and has sisters named Ashton and Charlie. While not my personal taste, I think it totally works as a sibset.
I agree that it might not be fair to Dylan to have a sister with a super feminine name. From your list, I'd probably go with Taylor or Skylar (Schuyler). Devon could work if it didn't sound so similar to Dylan.
Other suggestions: Rowan, Tatum, Peyton, Shea, Hadley, Sydney, Ellis, Hollis, Drew, Reese
