Just for fun and because I am *bored* today, let's have a sibset challenge. 
Rules:
(1) Look at the SSA Baby Names list for 2012, names #901-1000. (I picked the bottom of the list because I know Bees prefer the unique...)
Link: http://www.ssa.gov/cgi-bin/popularnames.cgi
(2) Pick your favorite sibset of 5 using these names, including
2 boys
2 girls
1 of your choice
(3) bonus points for middle names!

Oooh, I'll play! Firsts and middles from that list:
Augustine Blaise (this combo actually was on my shortlist for DD!)
Thaddeus Hugh
Graeme Eliot
Laurel Marianna
Azalea Tess

@rattles: Coming... Of course, as soon as I posted I got called into a meeting.

@septca: This was tough. A lot of these were not my style at all!
I choose to have two boys and three girls. (I also did middle names that weren't from 901-1000)
So brothers Hugh Michael and Graeme Alexander join sisters Sloan Elizabeth, Ingrid Alice and Everly Claire.

I picked all K's b/c IRL, our two girl picks are K's and we have trouble picking K boy name! Argh I'm so bad w/ middle names so I opt out lol.
Boy 1 - Kylen
Boy 2 - Kaysen
Girl 1 - Kendyl
Girl 2 - Kylah
My choice (girl) - Devyn

I had a hard time because I limited myself to the same list for MNs:
Graeme Emory
Graysen Ross
Tess Emmalynn
Libby Ann
Ingrid Everly
Interestingly enough, I love Graeme, and both Tess and Esme were on our short list for DD!

Girl 2- Rayna
Boy 1- Thaddeus
Boy 2- Graeme

It was hard for me to pick two boy names! None were really my style.

@cmomma17: I like all your names! Ingrid is one of my guilty pleasure names - sounds so cute with Alice!

@septca: Ingrid is a cool name! I love your combo with Everly!
Alice is my mom's name so I'm always trying to match it to other names!

Girl 1: Tess
Girl 2: Libby
Girl 3: Sofie
Boy 1: Brice
Boy 2: Mack
Looking through that list was tough....I am not a fan of changing a more popular name's spelling to make it "unique."

@lawbee11: That's the hardest part for me, too. For example, Emmaline and Greyson are both names that DH and I considered... but I would never go for Emmalynn or Greysen in real life.

@septca: @lawbee11: haha I agree, I choose the names I liked, trying to ignore the spellings!

Esme Sloan

Looking farther up the list (should we play again tomorrow with 801-900???), I am really confused by some of the names...
When I see Issac and Micheal I wonder if people were just trying to be unique or if there is a whole group of people out there who don't know how to spell/made typos on their SSA paperwork.

@septca: if you look at Name Nerds they have the SSA list but with combined spellings.

oh, fun. I'm going to answer before I read any replies so I don't get swayed in anyway.
Girls: Tess, Kora, Leona
Boys: Eliot, Maison
I will say, I really like the names that I picked, but I would definitely go with the more common spellings in real life (Cora, Elliot, Mason), so not so unusual, I guess.... Now to go back and read the others!
