Nope, not pregnant, but we’re TTC again soon because we are CRAZY. We have a [name_f]Violet[/name_f] and a [name_m]Hugo[/name_m]…so what would you name their (hypothetical) little brother…?
Notes: Husband’s name is [name_u]James[/name_u]. Second middle would likely be [name_u]James[/name_u]. First middle would most likely be [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] or [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]. Husband’s favourites are [name_u]James[/name_u], [name_m]Louis[/name_m] and [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]. My favourites are [name_u]Bertie[/name_u], [name_u]Freddie[/name_u] and [name_m]George[/name_m] (although I like all the names on our list). [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u]? [name_m]George[/name_m] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]? [name_m]Louis[/name_m] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]?
UPDATED LIST:
Albert “Bertie”
Frederick “Freddie”
George
James
Louis (pronounced “LOU-ee”)
Theodore “Theo”
I adore [name_u]August[/name_u] and [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] and also love [name_m]Louis[/name_m], [name_m]Henry[/name_m], [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m].
I would personally go with [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] although [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] is beautiful too.
Otherwise I think any of the others I mentioned would go beautifully with [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] as the middles.
Although I’m not a huge fan of [name_m]Albert[/name_m], there’s something about the nickname “[name_u]Bertie[/name_u]” that I find really endearing. I love it with [name_f]Violet[/name_f] and [name_m]Hugo[/name_m]! I’m also a fan of [name_m]Louis[/name_m] (def with that pronunciation).
[name_m]Albert[/name_m] ‘[name_u]Bertie[/name_u]’ is adorable! I also love [name_u]August[/name_u], [name_m]Louis[/name_m] and [name_m]Henry[/name_m] with your children’s names. I think [name_m]Frederick[/name_m], [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] or [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] would make a great first middle too.
I love all the names and think they all really work well with [name_f]Violet[/name_f] and [name_m]Hugo[/name_m]! My favourite however is [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m], followed by [name_u]August[/name_u] and [name_m]Louis[/name_m].
My favorites from your list are [name_u]August[/name_u], [name_m]Frederick[/name_m], [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m], and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]. I think [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] is my favorite with your existing sibset. I love the idea of brothers named [name_u]Theo[/name_u] and [name_m]Hugo[/name_m]! Some combo ideas for [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]:
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] ([name_u]LOVE[/name_u] this for you!)
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m]
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] [name_m]George[/name_m]
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Ferdinand[/name_m] [name_m]Albert[/name_m]
[name_m]Frederick[/name_m] is so sweet and dashing, unusual but familiar, unique, but wearable. I don’t care for the nn [name_u]Freddie[/name_u], but I’m glad you love it. I adore your [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] combo - dashing, swoonworthy, and utterly charming, the perfect sibling to [name_f]Violet[/name_f] and [name_m]Hugo[/name_m]!
Some more combos:
[name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_m]Albert[/name_m] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]
[name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m]
[name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]George[/name_m]
I love [name_u]August[/name_u] as a first name when paired with [name_f]Violet[/name_f] and [name_m]Hugo[/name_m]. It bridges between the floral [name_f]Violet[/name_f] and the classical uniqueness of [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] with a cozy autumnal warmth. Some combos:
[name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m]
[name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m]
[name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Albert[/name_m]
[name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Ferdinand[/name_m] [name_m]George[/name_m]
I like [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] in the middle here, but I think it could also work as a first, giving the steady [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] a bit of dashing mischievousness and the delicate [name_f]Violet[/name_f] some exuberance and strength. Combo ideas:
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_m]Albert[/name_m]
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] [name_m]George[/name_m]
Thanks everyone for your advice and suggestions! It’s very much appreciated.
@tdfm – Thank you! My husband loves [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] so it’s definitely a contender. @musicwaves – [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] is such a sweet combo! @babies123456 – Thanks for your advice! @andermac – Isn’t [name_u]Bertie[/name_u] just the cutest nickname ever? I do like [name_m]Albert[/name_m], but it’s definitely the nickname of [name_u]Bertie[/name_u] that’s winning me over! @greyblue – Thanks for your suggestion! @gia.berry – [name_u]Bertie[/name_u] has me swooning all over the place at the moment! Thanks. @a282 – Thanks for your advice! @adelina_sophia – Thanks! [name_m]Albert[/name_m] has had a few votes and the nickname of [name_u]Bertie[/name_u] is a real sweetener for a lot of people (me included)! @lavenderwitch – Oh, [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] and [name_u]Theo[/name_u] would be so cute! I do like [name_u]Theo[/name_u] better as a nickname than Ted or [name_u]Teddy[/name_u]. [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] is being added to my list as we speak! I like the idea of possibly using [name_m]Henry[/name_m] as the second middle too. Thanks for all your suggestions! @annajames – Thanks for your suggestion! @ramboemily – [name_u]Bertie[/name_u] is so very sweet. You’re right, [name_u]August[/name_u] has become quite popular, but I still love it! Thanks.
