Anyone have name themes for their children or likes them?

I knew girls named Autumn, Summer, Winter, and girls named Asia, China, India. Do you use a theme or like them? I like a weather theme :) lol

 I don't have a "theme", but I gravitate toward "old" names that were popular in the 20s-30s.

I don't like themes in the way you have mentioned them but I do like subsets that go together. Like I wouldn't use a very modern or trendy name with a classic one: Harper and Edward or Jaden and Catherine, because I just don't think they go together.

I am not sure if this is actually a "theme", but we do always use a bibilical name for the first name and a family name for a middle name.  But, I think our first names are generally pretty mainstream and popular, too, so I don't think it *sounds* themey?  Don't know if that makes sense?  Like, they aren't named Hezekiah, Ezekiel and Obadiah or anything like that.

I knew two sisters once names Princess and Jewel *gag*. 

Generally themed sibsets aren't for me, but I do like sibsets that start all with the same letter.

I don't like super obvious ones like London & Paris but if we had another kid I would want something that goes with DD's name. If it were a girl I would want another color MN, DD's MN is Clementine and I like Olive & Hazel as other MN options.

Our names are def traditional.  Our first two's by chance both start with E, so now I feel like our third needs to be an E also!

My daughters have British names that start w/A & E respectively; their MNs are not literal month names but close to it.  We already had Isla picked out for this one within a week of our BFP.  But it's a boy, so we don't feel so locked into a vowel name.  We're trying to pick something that jives with our other children, but it's hard IMO.

Not really. But I do tend to like names that end with the "en" sound, I realized. Our son is Griffin, and on the short list for DS#2 is Rowen and Deacon. I wish I could find another type of name that I like!
we love our wild child!
