A reader asks for help with names for a brother or sister to a boy named Crew. They aren’t finding out the gender and they’re open to any names. The baby’s last name will be Thompson.
Without any restrictions, we’re giving you a big ole’ list of names that remind us, style-wise, of Crew. We don’t know why Crew was chosen, so we are going to base our recommendations on all the things we think are great about the name Crew. Crew is one of those stylish “word names” that’s perfectly logical on a baby. It has a surname feel that lends it a preppy vibe and makes it a very of-the-moment baby-name choice.
For Crew’s sibling, we’d go for something that ties into one of Crew’s great traits, so that the sibling set feels deliberate. But, we’d probably avoid a word name that doesn’t have a history of use as a personal name. Two baby names of this type could end up feeling too “themey” as a sibset and could be a restricting pattern to maintain if future children come into the picture.
So, here are our suggestions for a sibling for Crew:
