2 weeks left to pick a 3rd sibling's name!

My daughters are [name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Noelle[/name] and [name]Matilda[/name] [name]Marie[/name]. [name]Baby[/name] #3 will be here in the next 2 weeks, and I need inspiration! It’s a surprise, so we need boy & girl choices.

We’re not nickname people, and prefer classic over ‘kreative’ names.

So far I’m leaning toward [name]Oscar[/name] or [name]Arthur[/name], and I love [name]June[/name] (for a girl), but DH isn’t convinced.

I really appreciate any suggestions!

I really like [name]Arthur[/name] for a boy! I also like the name [name]June[/name], but it seems a bit short compared to your girls’ names.

[name]Julianne[/name]/[name]Julianna[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name]
[name]Florence[/name]
[name]Adelaide[/name]
[name]Elizabeth[/name]
[name]Susannah[/name]
[name]Imogen[/name]

[name]Edmund[/name]
[name]Alexander[/name]
[name]Henry[/name]
[name]Benjamin[/name]
[name]Felix[/name]
[name]William[/name]
[name]Nathaniel[/name]
[name]Daniel[/name]

I love your taste in names, they would all go well with [name]Charlotte[/name] and [name]Matilda[/name].

I really like your name choices, especially [name]Oscar[/name] and [name]June[/name]!
Other names I could suggest are

[name]Alice[/name]
[name]Amelia[/name]
[name]Clementine[/name]
[name]Eloise[/name]
[name]Elsa[/name]
[name]Florence[/name]
[name]Harriet[/name]
[name]Iris[/name]
[name]Isla[/name]
[name]Lucy[/name]
[name]Violet[/name]

[name]George[/name]
[name]Henry[/name]
[name]Jasper[/name]
[name]Leo[/name]
[name]Max[/name]
[name]Oliver[/name]
[name]Toby[/name]

[name]Charlotte[/name], [name]Matilda[/name] and [name]June[/name] sounds like an interesting sibset and is not completely discordant. However, the thing that strikes me is that [name]June[/name] does seem a bit insubstantial next to [name]Charlotte[/name] and [name]Matilda[/name]. [name]Charlotte[/name] and Matilda are visually and verbally longer, and are, quite literally, regal names. If I were you, I’d go with a classic name that has just as much weight behind it. [name]Elizabeth[/name], [name]Helena[/name], [name]Katherine[/name], [name]Victoria[/name], [name]Sophia[/name], [name]Isabel[/name], and [name]Eleanor[/name] are all obvious choices, but is seems that although you like classic names, you might want something just a bit off the current trend. [name]How[/name] about [name]Alice[/name], [name]Josephine[/name], [name]Guinevere[/name], [name]Julia[/name], [name]Portia[/name], [name]Juliet[/name], [name]Veronica[/name], [name]Adela[/name], [name]Phillipa[/name], [name]Cordelia[/name], [name]Antonia[/name], [name]Louisa[/name], [name]Beatrice[/name], [name]Rowena[/name], [name]Claudia[/name], [name]Clara[/name], [name]Penelope[/name], or [name]Emmeline[/name]?

[name]Arthur[/name] seems like a very good choice for a brother, and I love it. [name]Oscar[/name] is indeed a classic name, but personally I can never think past [name]Oscar[/name] the Grouch and [name]Oscar[/name] [name]Madison[/name]. Other boy suggestions: [name]Edmund[/name], [name]Edward[/name], [name]Geoffrey[/name], [name]Philip[/name], [name]Stephen[/name], [name]Peter[/name], [name]Paul[/name], [name]Gregory[/name], [name]Linus[/name], [name]Frederick[/name], [name]Oliver[/name], [name]Leo[/name], [name]Julian[/name], or [name]Sebastian[/name]?

Good luck. You have great taste in names, so you are sure to make a wonderful choice!

I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Arthur[/name] and [name]June[/name], and [name]Oscar[/name] is fantastic too. The boys’ names you have picked go really well with your daughters’ names… but I agree with the other posters on [name]June[/name] looking a bit scanty next to the fuller-bodied [name]Charlotte[/name] and [name]Matilda[/name]. Maybe [name]Juniper[/name] could be a good alternative, with the nickname [name]June[/name]?
Some other suggestions are: [name]Harriet[/name], [name]Genevieve[/name], [name]Clementine[/name], [name]Reverie[/name], [name]Amelie[/name], [name]Olive[/name], [name]Frances[/name], [name]Florence[/name], [name]Violet[/name], [name]Everly[/name], [name]Phoebe[/name], [name]Eloise[/name], [name]Stella[/name], [name]Pepita[/name], [name]Lucinda[/name], [name]Tallulah[/name], [name]Arabella[/name], [name]Abigail[/name], [name]Yolande[/name] and [name]Indigo[/name],
and for boys [name]Sebastian[/name], [name]Ignatius[/name], [name]Declan[/name], [name]Oliver[/name], [name]Tobias[/name], [name]Fletcher[/name], [name]Theodore[/name], [name]Atticus[/name], [name]Emerson[/name], [name]Rafferty[/name], [name]Archer[/name], [name]Leonard[/name], [name]Samuel[/name], [name]Leopold[/name], [name]Griffin[/name], [name]Guthrie[/name], [name]Otis[/name], [name]Thaddeus[/name], [name]Lennox[/name], [name]Caspian[/name], [name]Edward[/name]… Good luck!

I like both of your boy choices, especially [name]Arthur[/name]. [name]June[/name] is sweet, but a bit short compared with the other names. MissMolly had some excellent suggestions.

What about [name]Charlotte[/name] [name]June[/name]?
[name]Noelle[/name] as a middle doesn’t make any sense.

[name]June[/name] would be cute in the middle. I am assuming that [name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Noelle[/name] was born around [name]Christmas[/name] and this baby is going to be born in [name]June[/name]. :slight_smile:
[name]Charlotte[/name], [name]Matilda[/name] and…

Sorry for any repeats

I prefer [name]Oscar[/name] to [name]Arthur[/name]. As for your girls name, I think I would select something equally classic but at least two syllables to go with [name]Charlotte[/name] and [name]Matilda[/name]. I like [name]Edith[/name] [name]June[/name], [name]Hazel[/name] [name]June[/name], [name]Louisa[/name] [name]June[/name], and [name]Beatrice[/name] [name]June[/name] with your other daughters names.

I like [name]Arthur[/name] and [name]June[/name].

Wow, these are some great suggestions!

I share the concern that [name]June[/name] is very short compared to the older siblings.

I’ve gotten stuck on [name]Magnolia[/name] & [name]Georgia[/name] recently also. I don’t know that I have the nerve though… we live in the northeast US. Is it weird to use a name with such obviously southern charm? Of course, I already used [name]Charlotte[/name] - but I wasn’t really thinking of South [name]Carolina[/name] when we chose it.

[name]Magnolia[/name] sounds a bit over-the-top Southern to me, but [name]Georgia[/name] doesn’t. [name]Charlotte[/name] and [name]Georgia[/name] just sound like classic feminizations to me…

Thank you all for the suggestions, no baby yet - I’ll update when it arrives & we finally make a decision!

I love your girls names. I think [name]June[/name] is a little short though.
Can I also say I love that you’re “not nickname people”? I’m not exactly a nickname person myself. I’m tempted to suggest [name]Margaret[/name], but it’s too close to other names.
Other formal names:
[name]Alice[/name]
[name]Adelaide[/name]
[name]Daria[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name]
[name]Gwyneth[/name]
[name]Felicity[/name]
[name]Francesca[/name]

[name]Rachel[/name]
[name]Rosalind[/name]
[name]Rosemary[/name]
[name]Sybil[/name]
[name]Vanessa[/name]
[name]Vivian[/name]

I like [name]Arthur[/name]!

Good [name]Luck[/name]!

I love your girl’s names [name]Charlotte[/name] and [name]Matilda[/name], they are both strong names and yet they are very feminine too.

I think [name]Adelaide[/name] would be brilliant if you have another daughter

I think I would choose [name]Henry[/name] [name]James[/name] or [name]Harry[/name] [name]James[/name] for a son, it is a perfect match with the girl’s names.

I am not a fan of [name]Arthur[/name] as it reminds me of arthritis and I love [name]Oscar[/name] Wilde I think it is a possibility for you but the name is just not as lovable as the girl’s names.

Have you considered [name]Alistair[/name]/[name]Alister[/name]? I think this is a terrific name, very usable and handsome and a great match.

If you wanted to step outside the box a little I think the middle name of [name]Wilder[/name] for a son with a classic first name would work brilliantly, eg. [name]Tristan[/name] [name]Wilder[/name].

rollo

We joyfully welcomed our first son into the world on [name]June[/name] 17th. He joins big sisters [name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Noelle[/name] & [name]Matilda[/name] [name]Marie[/name].

The name we finally chose is: [name]Oscar[/name] [name]Fjord[/name]! (My husband is a geologist).

Thanks to all for inspiration & suggestions!

I live in the NE and I know a couple of [name]Georgia[/name]'s and it doesn’t seem out of place at all. I don’t think of it as Southern, I see it as a classic feminization of [name]George[/name].
