Brother or Sister for Beatrix Eleanor...help!

jennyesq · October 21, 2013, 2:25pm

I’ve always wondered who these people were who needed help coming up with names for their children…we knew almost immediately with our first child, a daughter named [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]. But, here I am, 20 weeks pregnant and no names for either a boy or a girl (we aren’t finding out the sex this time).

Our last name starts with “W.” [name_f]Stella[/name_f] was a top contender, but won’t be used for family reasons. Other names that we like are: [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] & [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] for a girl and [name_m]Henry[/name_m] and [name_m]Felix[/name_m] for a boy. The problem is that we just haven’t found anything that grabbed us the way [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] did.

Thanks in advance!

[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] is lovely and the other names you like-- [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], [name_f]Felicity[/name_f], [name_m]Henry[/name_m], and [name_m]Felix[/name_m] all work well-- although you may not want to do [name_m]Felix[/name_m] since the ending is the same as [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f].

I adore both [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] and [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]: they’re both right at the top of my list. I would probably steer clear of [name_m]Felix[/name_m], though, because you might find yourself locked into a distinctive ‘ends-in-x’ pattern.
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] W and her little sister:
[name_f]Helena[/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
[name_f]Verity[/name_f]

[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] W and her little brother:
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m]
[name_u]Jude[/name_u]
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m]
[name_m]Evander[/name_m]
[name_m]Gabriel[/name_m]
[name_u]August[/name_u]
[name_m]Finnian[/name_m]
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m]

[name_f]LOVE[/name_f] the name [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], and great choices so far for your second! [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] is a particular favorite of mine, and I like that [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] shares a similar meaning to [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]. I’m also loving so many of the names already suggested! This will be repeating a few of the above, but here are my suggestions:

For a little sister to [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]:
[name_f]Agnes[/name_f]
[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f]
[name_f]Clementine[/name_f]
[name_f]Cressida[/name_f]
[name_f]Flora[/name_f]
[name_f]Florence[/name_f]
[name_f]Gemma[/name_f]
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f]
[name_f]Isadora[/name_f]
[name_f]Margot[/name_f]
[name_f]Theodora[/name_f]

For a little brother to [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]:
[name_u]August[/name_u]
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m]
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m]
[name_u]Jude[/name_u]
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m]
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m]

I also have a [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]. When I was naming her, I was also considering (and sorry in advance for the duplicates):

[name_f]Louisa[/name_f]
[name_f]Greta[/name_f]
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f]
[name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f]
[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f]
[name_f]Verity[/name_f]
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f]
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucinda[/name_f]
[name_f]Thalia[/name_f]
[name_f]Saskia[/name_f]

And if my [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] had been a boy, I had been considering:

[name_u]Theo[/name_u]
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m]
[name_u]Jude[/name_u]
[name_m]Evander[/name_m]
[name_u]Roscoe[/name_u]
[name_m]Milo[/name_m]
