I’m now a week overdue and we just can’t decide on a name for number 3… My Whale-ness is confusing my brain! So, expert help very much needed. We don’t know the sex and he/she shall be joining [name]Jack[/name] ([name]James[/name] [name]Alan[/name]) and [name]Bridie[/name] ([name]Bridget[/name] [name]Isobel[/name]). So, here are the names we’ve been contemplating: Honest thoughts? Rearranging and suggestions very welcome.
If I had to pick one from each gender it would be [name]Simon[/name] [name]Henry[/name] (oh so handsome) and [name]Miranda[/name] [name]Lily[/name] (options of [name]Miri[/name] or [name]Mira[/name] as nicknames which I love). But overall all your names you are contemplating are very nice.
Boys: [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Simon[/name] [name]Henry[/name] and [name]Samuel[/name] [name]Francis[/name]. [name]Nicholas[/name] [name]Henry[/name] is a close third.
Girls: [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Phoebe[/name] [name]Miranda[/name]. [name]Claire[/name] [name]Abigail[/name] is a very, very close second (that’s my husband’s favorite combo for a girl. Personally, I like [name]Abigail[/name] [name]Claire[/name] better.) [name]Phoebe[/name] [name]Lillian[/name] - instead of [name]Lily[/name] - is lovely, as is [name]Mary[/name] [name]Lillian[/name].
[name]Love[/name] all your choices! [name]Samuel[/name] [name]Francis[/name] and [name]Phoebe[/name] [name]Miranda[/name] are definitely my favorites, though–I think [name]Jack[/name], [name]Bridie[/name], and [name]Sam[/name] or [name]Jack[/name], [name]Bridie[/name], and [name]Phoebe[/name] are fabulous together. I also really like [name]Simon[/name] [name]Henry[/name]/[name]Henry[/name] [name]Simon[/name].
I have to say, for a boy I’m not loving [name]Samuel[/name] [name]Francis[/name] or [name]Edward[/name] [name]Francis[/name]. [name]Francis[/name] just seems too feminine to be a boy’s name. I never really liked [name]Sam[/name], and [name]Edward[/name] is too stiff. My favourite is [name]Simon[/name] [name]Henry[/name]- it’s perfect!
As for girls… I really, really do not like [name]Mary[/name] or [name]Claire[/name]. [name]Abigail[/name]'s okay, not my fave though. You obviously like [name]Miranda[/name], so I think you should definitely integrate that. I like the way [name]Miranda[/name] [name]Lily[/name] sound together. [name]Phoebe[/name] is a name I like, but it doesn’t seem to go with [name]Miranda[/name].
[name]Jack[/name]/[name]Bridie[/name]/[name]Simon[/name] or [name]Jack[/name]/[name]Bridie[/name]/[name]Miranda[/name]
So I would say [name]Simon[/name] [name]Henry[/name] for a boy and [name]Miranda[/name] [name]Lily[/name] for a girl. [name]Hope[/name] this helps!
Thanks everyone, Can’t tell you how uncomfortable this is! Fingers crossed he/she will arrive soon… I do really love the name [name]Miranda[/name] (livie lou [name]Mira[/name] makes me love it even more!) maybe that should be our girls name, although really loving [name]Mary[/name] still. Think am torn between [name]Simon[/name] and [name]Samuel[/name] now…
So, do you prefer:
[name]Mary[/name] [name]Miranda[/name] ([name]James[/name], [name]Bridget[/name] and [name]Mary[/name] / [name]Jack[/name], [name]Bridie[/name] and ?)
or [name]Miranda[/name] [name]Lily[/name]? ([name]James[/name], [name]Bridget[/name] and [name]Miranda[/name] / [name]Jack[/name], [name]Bridie[/name] and [name]Mira[/name])
[name]Samuel[/name] [name]Francis[/name] ([name]James[/name], [name]Bridget[/name] and [name]Samuel[/name] / [name]Jack[/name], [name]Bridie[/name] and [name]Sam[/name])
or [name]Simon[/name] [name]Henry[/name]? ([name]James[/name], [name]Bridget[/name] and [name]Simon[/name] / [name]Jack[/name], [name]Bridie[/name] and ?)
I adore [name]Edward[/name] [name]Francis[/name]. So perfect!
What about [name]Mary[/name] [name]Claire[/name]? I also love love [name]Abigail[/name]. [name]Miranda[/name] is ok but to me an invented Shakespearian name doesn’t match [name]Mary[/name] well. [name]Phoebe[/name] is to my taste so overdone. Blech. Your other children have lovely names which seem to have an Irish feel. What about [name]Nora[/name] for a girl as another option? This is an Irish name from Latin [name]Honora[/name]. I also like the suggestion of [name]Susannah[/name]/[name]Susie[/name].
I really like [name]Miranda[/name] [name]Lily[/name] for a girl, and if I could rearrange to make [name]Simon[/name] [name]Francis[/name] in to the boy combo, that’d be my pick. I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Simon[/name] [name]Francis[/name]!
I’m glad you loved my suggestion of [name]Mira[/name], I still adore [name]Simon[/name] [name]Henry[/name] and [name]Miranda[/name] [name]Lily[/name], but if you love [name]Mary[/name] why not use that?
[name]Miranda[/name] [name]Mary[/name] could work as well as [name]Mary[/name] [name]Miranda[/name], they’re both very nice. Good luck!
