Love it! (m)

I love their naming style even though the names aren't what I'd use myself, I don't think. Cosmo and Sylvie fit with the other siblings perfectly. I do like how they tie the triplet and twin names subtly with middle names starting with the same letter.
Chloe did a Youtube video a while back explaining how/why they decided on each name and how their naming taste kind of evolved from Evan. I just rewatched it and here are some of the other names they considered for the older kids.
Evan Anthony - Anthony is the only family name they used for any of their kids because it is the middle name passed down through Ro's family. If Evan was a girl, he'd have been named Indigo. She said they were split between something "simple and classic" (Seth, Liam, and Max were on their list) or something more "out there" (Zephyr and Atticus).
Otto Patrick - He also would have been Indigo if he was a girl. Other names they considered were Patrick, Miles, Elijah, and Emmett.
Felix George - when pregnant with Felix, they thought they might go with a vowel theme for first names so were seriously considering Axel before they concluded that they liked it in theory but it didn't feel right for them. They ended up falling in love with Felix and nixing the vowel theme idea. If Felix was a girl, he probably would have been Ursula, but they also liked Indigo and Indiana.
Apparently for the triplets, they considered using the names of the Aristocats cats as their middle names (Marie, Toulouse, and Berlioz) so they would have been Henry Toulouse, Rufus Berlioz, and Pearl Marie. But they were turned off by Marie because of how common it is as a middle name and they had no family reason or anything to use it. Rufus Henry was the combo for a boy they were considering before finding out it was triplets.
