HelpRe: Compromise Game
in reply to a message by Emaleigh
So I wasn’t quite sure what to do and I turned to statistics again. Using the positions of the overall preferred names on our original lists, I created new lists and found the rankings by average and my difference again. (You don’t actually need to read this. It’s just my thought process.)
Top 5 Overall Preferred:
1. Caspian
2. Peregrine “Pippin”
3. Hugo
4. Mathias
5. Evander / Rafael
1 Caspian 1 Rafael
2 Mathias 2 Caspian
3 Hugo 3 Peregrine “Pippin”
4 Peregrine “Pippin” 4 Evander
5 Evander 5 Hugo
6 Rafael 6 Mathias
Caspian 1 [1 / 2] 3
Mathias 4 [2 / 6] 8
Hugo 2 [3 / 5] 8
Peregrine “Pippin” 1 [4 / 3] 7
Evander 1 [5 / 4] 9
Rafael 5 [6 / 1] 7
Top Overall Preferred: (Average rating in parentheses.)
1. Caspian (1.5)
2. Peregrine “Pippin” / Rafael (3.5)
3. Hugo / Mathias (4)
4. Evander (5.5)
Top Consensus Picks: (Rating difference in brackets.)
1. Caspian / Peregrine “Pippin” / Evander [1]
2. Hugo [2]
3. Mathias [4]
4. Rafael [5]
By discarding the least overall preferred (Evander) and the name with the least consensus (Rafael) I got the following list, in order of likely overall preference.
Caspian
Peregrine “Pippin”
Hugo
Mathias
Caspian’s definitely my favorite and, based on your original list, it’s your favorite of the names we’re working with. If we decide to go with more than 1 boy, I personally don’t think Caspian and Peregrine “Pippin” work well as brothers because they share similar sounds and have the same ending. I think Caspian would work well as a brother with both Hugo and Mathias, though I lean slightly more towards Hugo because they would share literary references.
Some combos:
Caspian Thomas
Caspian Evander
Caspian Jonas
Caspian Diarmad
Caspian Nicholas
Hugo August
Hugo Mathias
Hugo Rafael
Hugo Patrick
Hugo Rory
Mathias Edmund
Mathias Anthony
Mathias Evander
Mathias Eoin
Mathias Tristan

Top 5 Overall Preferred:
1. Sinéad
2. Catriona
3. Maeve / Thea
4. Kathleen / Guinevere “Gwen”
5. Viola
1 Sinéad 1 Thea
2 Catriona 2 Viola
3 Kathleen 3 Maeve
4 Maeve 4 Guinevere “Gwen”
5 Guinevere “Gwen” 5 Catriona
6 Thea 6 Sinéad
7 Viola 7 Kathleen
Sinéad 5 [1 / 6] 7
Catriona 3 [2 / 5] 7
Kathleen 4 [3 / 7] 10
Maeve 1 [4 / 3] 7
Guinevere “Gwen” 1 [5 / 4] 9
Thea 5 [6 / 1] 7
Viola 5 [7 / 2] 9
Top Overall Preferred: (Average rating in parentheses.)
1. Sinéad / Catriona / Maeve / Thea (3.5)
2. Guinevere “Gwen” / Viola (4.5)
3. Kathleen (5)
Top Consensus Picks: (Rating difference in brackets.)
1. Guinevere “Gwen” / Maeve [1]
2. Catriona [3]
3. Kathleen [4]
4. Sinéad / Thea / Viola [5]
The weird thing about this list is that most of the top overall preferred names are the ones we disagree about most, so when is discard last place on each list I really get the middle ground names. Personally I’m happy with them, but we could always go about narrowing down the names another way if you don’t like these.
Catriona
Maeve
Guinevere “Gwen”
Catriona and Maeve would be tied for most preferred based on the data. I like both very much so I don’t have a strong preference any way. Sibling wise, if we decide on Caspian and have more than 2 children, I think Maeve would work together best. (Having 2 siblings with the same initial letter and another sibling that doesn’t irks me, personally.) If we only have 2, then Caspian and Catriona are either an adorable pair or way too similar. I can’t decide. Of course, if we decide on another boys name then that’s a different story.
Some combos:
Catriona Lynn
Maeve Lynn
Guinevere Lynn “Gwen”
Catriona Ruth
Guinevere Ruth “Gwen”
So the ideas I have right now are:
1. 2 boys and 1 girl: Caspian, Hugo, and Maeve
2. 2 boys and 1 girl: Caspian, Mathias, and Guinevere “Gwen”
3. 1 boy and 1 girl: Caspian and Catriona (too close?)
4. 1 boy and 1 girl: Caspian and Maeve
5. 1 boy and 1 girl: Mathias and Maeve
6. 1 boy and 2 girls: Caspian, Maeve, and Guinevere “Gwen”
7. 1 boy and 2 girls: Hugo, Maeve, and Guinevere “Gwen”
Do you like any of those more than others or do you have any other ideas?
