The Chatwins just welcomed a baby boy! This is their second son and fifth child overall. He name is...Asher Cohen ChatwinHere's the complete sibset:Gemma Marie, 4
Reese Sienna, Royal Hunter, & Wren Estelle (triplets), 2
Asher Cohen, newbornI like all the first names except Royal, and the only combos that flow well (and that I like) are Wren Estelle and Asher Cohen. Royal Hunter is especially bad, even if Hunter is also Darik's (the dad) middle name. It just sounds like a hunter hired by a royal.~~~~~Rate my PNLs! (all lists are ratable)

Asher Cohen sounds good, but unless Cohen is a family name it's a little cringey. Like randomly calling your baby Priest or Pope. Gemma Marie is nice, it's definitely more princessy than I'd like but it's not overdone.
Reese Sienna is bad. Reese is okay on a boy. On a girl it would need a really loud unisex middle name like Jordan (or even a terrible tryndy one like Jordyn). Sienna makes no sense there, especially since it's pronounced "Ree Sienna" or "Reece Ienna".
Royal Hunter = should have used these as middle names for non-wordy first names.
Wren Estelle... well, I like Wren and Estelle goes with Gemma and Marie, but this combo is clashy.
and nobody asked but here's how I'd "fix" the sibset...Matching Gemma et al:
Gemma Marie
Renata Seraphine
Holland Royal
Winter Estelle
Alduin CassioMatching Sienna et al:
Gwyneth Maia
Sienna Rachel
Ronan Hunter
Wren Eira
Asher Cohen

Royal Hunter, reminds me of the Royal Ranger (book character) - who is female; is this triplet f or m? I don't mind the name Royal, and I kinda like the name Hunter. It's just that, together they sound funny. I guess it does not matter because nobody ever says middle names, though.I like Gemma but wouldn't have paired it with any Ma- middle name! Gemma Chatwin sounds best of all the fn/sn combos. Royal works okay, but the others are all "off" - Reese has the s-ch running together, Asher has the sh/rch that sounds super clunky. And then we have Wrench Atwin. sadfaceAnd I think Cohen is a strange thing to name a kid if it's not a surname in your family. It's fun to nitpick these names, but they're really not too bad.

"It just sounds like a hunter hired by a royal." I think you are being charitable there! To me, it sounds like a hired assassin.Asher Cohen is the only combo I like at all. Gemma Marie has a built-in stammer, as does Reese Sienna, the e in Wren is precisely the second e in Estelle ... and Royal Hunter is unwise in every way.

I like Gemma and Asher. Royal is terrible and I don't like Reese for a girl. Wren Estelle is okay.

Gemma and Marie are both good names, but they don't go together - especially not in this order. "Mama" is stuck in the middle. Reese Sienna has a similar problem with the Ss running into each other. I'm also not fond of Reese as a feminine name (but Sienna is great).Royal Hunter is... bad.Wren Estelle, on the other hand, is gorgeous. So much more than the siblings' names, in fact, that looking at them all as a group I almost get a "golden child" impression. :-(There's nothing inherently wrong with Asher, I'm just not fond of "ash" in names (makes me think of ash trays). Cohen, on the other hand... as a personal name it might not be as "overt" as, say, Messiah; but it feels equally sacrilegious.

Royal Hunter????And Cohen is problematic.

Cohen Chatwin sounds forced. Gemma Marie Chatwin doesn't flow wellI only like the triplets names. Royal Hunter is not what I would've chosen too OTT but admittedly ambitious (he's got royal qualities AND he's a good hunter?? That's what I want in a man lol). Wren Estelle and Reese Sienna are definitely the best of the bunch, both in looks and sound. And they are the only ones that work with the last name imo. Anyway, congrats to them!

Royal Hunter does not sound like a name, definitely more like an antiquated job.And I hate the almost matchiness of the triplets' names. I would hate this set much much less if the W wasn't silent. One simply starting with a different letter would be unideal to me but fine. This is just infuriating, though.

At least they didn't spell all the triplets' first names wr.
Royal Hunter is dumb, like maybe he shot all Queen Victoria's venison for her.
Reese Sienna doesn't sound good at all together. Sienna Reese would have worked, but of course they're a YouTube family and their triplets' names have to match match match.

Sienna Reese wouldn't have been half bad. The sad thing is Royal, Reese and Wren don't match. But Ren wouldn't have fit their vibe either!
