HelpBA + thoughts on 4-boy sibset
A girl I knew growing up just had her 4th baby boy! I don't know MNs, but here's the set (the two oldest are twins):
Gus
Evan
Amos
Wesley
Despite the fact that I feel pretty indifferent about all these names, I'm weirdly loving this sibset. Usually I feel like the more siblings there are, the less the names cohere. But Amos pulls together the 2-syllable Evan with the S-ending in Gus. Wesley has the S-ending feel of Gus and Amos (without being too close) and matches the 2-syllable Evan & Amos.
I also like how Gus and Amos (S-ending, uncommon) are staggered by Evan & Wesley (different endings, more common). There are 2 names that begin with vowels and 2 that don't. They just all mix and match so evenly and subtly!
Please tell me if you also think about sibsets like this! Do you know any other sets that seem to get more coherent as they go? What additions to this set would have the same effect (girls or boys)? Also, what are your opinions on the names?

Agreed, it's a very well-balanced sibset. The sum is more than its parts, tho I am partial to Amos.
