Sabrina and Gabriel (Bree and Gabe)
Jonas Ellsworth and Jane Evangeline (middle names are family names - nicknames Joe and Evie)
Joel and Elise
Oliver and Naomi
Will and Nina (not William, just Will)

Charlie, of course, has Charles as a formal name and is named for his father and grandfather.

To be honest, I like Oliver and Nina paired with Charlie. Both are such beautiful names! I love your other choices too. Would you consider Evangeline Jane instead of Jane Evangeline? I love the name Evangeline and Evie is so cute on a little girl.

Hi.

I really enjoyed your list and I'm loving many components of it. I'm just not sure I'm loving them exactly like you have them paired:

Sabrina and Gabriel (Bree and Gabe)--- I would much prefer Brina as a nn with the catchy brother names Gabe and Charlie. I really, really like Brina, Gabe, and Charlie together. I also like Sabrina and Gabriel together. I do not like Charles with Sabrina and Gabriel. I do like seeing Sabrina on the list, though. It's a pretty name that slides in at almost any time period without being trendy or overused!

Jonas Ellsworth and Jane Evangeline (middle names are family names - nicknames Joe and Evie) ---

Fantastic combinations. Lovely names. Joe is a great nn that actually seems so fresh next to the more popular Sam, Jack, or Max! I wouldn't even consider toying with the gorgeous Jane Evangeline by going with such a predictable, ever-growing nn like Evie. Jane is fabulous. If you must nn, go with Janie! Just me, I wouldn't go this matchy-matchy. I would pick either Jonas Ellsworth or Jane Evangeline as ONE sibling to Charlie (either would be great). Then I'd find an equally great name for sibling #3. Jane and Charles is grand! I would be all for keeping the family E- middle names for both children, though.
You might also consider keeping both names but calling Jonas Ellsworth by the adorable nn Worth. I love to see a little surpise in the mix--- Charlie, Jane & Worth! Side note- IMO Jonah flows better into Ellsworth.

Joel and Elise --- While I find nothing inherently wrong with either name, they lack the whimsical, wholesome appeal of Charlie.

Oliver and Naomi- This would be the predictable sibling match for a Charles called Charlie.

Will and Nina (not William, just Will) --- Nice, very nice. If you want to keep your pairs just like you have them, then this is the best overall combo on your list. I'm taken with the J.E. combos above...

Enjoyed,
Ginger
