I think Gilbert Blythe sounds great together, it's so handsome, and I love nn Gil. BUT, I think using the two names together is way too strong of an Anne of Green Gables connection. I don't know where you live, but here both names are very uncommon and to hear them together is an automatic association with AoGG. I love the book, and it's a decent namesake if you have one, but I would never do it. I do like Gilbert by itself and Blythe also. I would encourage another mn, but that's only my thoughts.
The sibset sounds good (Norman is not a fave for me, but it sounds good with the others) but having a Gilbert Blythe in a sibset with an Anne, even if it is Anne Marie, would just make the connection that much more blatant. I think it would be great if the mn was not Blythe, however.
