Stanley and Gideon

What are your thoughts on both names? How would they sound, hypothetically, as younger brothers to August? Younger brothers to Romilly and Josephine?

I'm currently thinking Stanley Winston James and Gideon Jasper Henry, but do feel free to suggest alternate middles for Gideon - I always find it so hard to pair.

Both Stanley and James honour.

Thank you!

I'm a big fan of both Stanley without a nickname and Stanley nn Stan. I also like Gideon and would love to meet a child with that name. Definitely underplayed. Of all the potential siblings listed, I think they both go the best with Josephine. While uncommon, August and Romilly are both more in trend than Stanley and Gideon, which are more genuine throwbacks. Like to me Stanley, Gideon, and Josephine are allo retro while August and Romilly never had their day (at least in the States), but just recently started making an appearance and getting a cool factor.

Both boy combos are handsome and flow well!

Just saw the more recent post, Gideon Stanley James is great as a combo! That said, I do think Stanley's a great first name.

I love Gideon Jasper Henry and Stanley Winston James sounds nice but I would prefer Winston Stanley James as a sib combo with the rest.

August, Romilly, Josephine, Gideon and Winston

Gideon Stanley James does work better. Jasper Henry Winston would make a rather handsome combo too.

Ha, that's handy - I was looking for Jasper combos beforehand :P

I prefer Gideon in relation to August, Romilly, and Josephine. Gideon Jasper Henry is very nice.

Not a fan of Stanley at all, it just has a harsh, unappealing sound to me. Gideon on the other hand I LOVE! August and Gideon would be just gorgeous for brothers imo. I also like the sound of August, Gideon, Romilly and Josephine together. As for combos, personally I would prefer Gideon James Winston and Henry Jasper Stanley.

I was just about to say that Henry was too popular here, but then I looked Stanley up on a hunch and realised that it was #74. Even so, Henry is #24, so I wouldn't like to use it. I'd also want to keep Stanley and James together as they honour the same person. Thank you, though! :)
