So the first name initial of the elder sibling is the middle name initial of the newest sibling, and we also have 1 family name for each child (Gray and Zollie).

So that means this one needs a "Z" middle name

We are thinking Zion for a boy and Zophia for a girl.

I have ALWAYS wanted Anna for a girl (Anna was the name of the first prophettess to declare Jesus the Messiah as well as Anne being DH's grandma's name), so we are thinking Anna Zophia...Anna means Grace and Zophia means Wisdom...what other two traits would you want for a daughter? I'm really 'ing Anna Zophia.

We have absolutely no clue on a first name for a boy LOL. DS1 is positive he's getting a sister, though, so I'll go with kid's intuition.

I'm assuming you're thinking of Zophia as a variant spelling of Sophia, but just so you know, there is a newly popular Hebrew name pronounced "Tzophia" but which would be correctly spelled in English as "Zophia" with a dot under the Z. The Hebrew Zophia comes from the root of watching, guarding, or yearning.

Just FYI -- whenever you're choosing a name, you want to know all the ways it can be misinterpreted...

I don't have much to add to this thread because we've pretty much decided that we will name after family members until we run out of family members to honor, so there's not much wiggle room right now. My mother-in-law was an only child, and DH's only sibling is not likely to have kids anytime soon, so a girl would be named after her mother. DS2 is named after her father, so we have a little more space for a boy's name.

In the book of names I used Zophia was an alternative to Sophia, it was a variation from...I can't remember the country. The book was a Writers Guide to Character Names.

I like Grayson or Carson for boy and girl Kylee.

I especially like "Lane."

boy: Cedric, Liam, Gavin, William, Oliver and Jasper. Dean is set as the middle name (my father's name).

girl: Emelie, Anna, Claire, Phoebe, Isabella, Elise and Alice

Ooo...I like that too! I would pronounce it Zophia, though, not "Tz" but either meaning would be ok with me.

Anna Zophia...Grace and Wisdom, or Gracefully Watching...
