Hello! Husband and I are expecting in [name_f]April[/name_f]. We love alliteration names and want to do this with all of our future children. Here is our list:
Now, I’m second guessing [name_f]Barbara[/name_f] as a first name and would rather use [name_f]Barbara[/name_f] or [name_f]Barb[/name_f] as a middle, but struggling to find a first that we like. I love Beatrice/Beatrix but hubby does not. We both like [name_u]Briar[/name_u] but not sure it’s “enough”. Whatever name we use, [name_f]Birdie[/name_f] would be what we would call her.
Any suggestions for B names with [name_f]Barbara[/name_f] or [name_f]Barb[/name_f], or any additional alliteration names ideas based on our style are welcome!
[name_f]Freya[/name_f] [name_f]Fern[/name_f] is gorgeous! [name_u]Florence[/name_u] [name_f]Fern[/name_f] & [name_f]Millicent[/name_f] [name_f]Meadow[/name_f] are lovely too - three really solid choices.
[name_f]Barbara[/name_f] does feel dated as a first, but would work wonderfully as a middle. would you consider using [name_f]Birdie[/name_f] as a first on its own? [name_f]Birdie[/name_f] [name_f]Barbara[/name_f] would be great, and it’s kind of the best of both worlds, considering [name_f]Birdie[/name_f] will already be used.
Thank you everyone for your suggestions! We are considering [name_f]Birdie[/name_f] as a given first name instead of nn, but neither of us are sold 100%. [name_f]Birdie[/name_f] [name_f]Barbara[/name_f] is a top contender, and I like the sing-songy option of calling her “Birdie-Barb” another option that I like is [name_f]Bronwen[/name_f] [name_f]Barbara[/name_f].
I love [name_f]Freya[/name_f] [name_f]Fern[/name_f]! It’s such a shame your husband doesn’t like [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], it’s a gorgeous option and sounds great with [name_f]Barbara[/name_f]. You’ve got lots of great suggestions but I’m not sure anyone yet has proposed [name_u]Billie[/name_u]? Although I can’t say I’m a fan of [name_f]Barbara[/name_f], and I do wonder whether it’s a bit much, [name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_f]Barbara[/name_f] does work.
