So, to our mutual obsession: names!!

Here’s the huge lists of every name we’ve considered recently: some we like more than others but as we’ve got a fair amount of time to pick we thought we should keep our minds open! It is very open to all opinions, suggestions, honest criticism etc. Surname Drinkwater, siblings [name]Daisy[/name] [name]Hannah[/name] and [name]Joel[/name] [name]Matthew[/name].

Thankyou very much

I love your children’s names - [name]Daisy[/name] and [name]Joel[/name] are so cute together! However, I find quite a few of the names fairly dated; [name]Rachel[/name], [name]Lucy[/name], [name]Colin[/name], [name]Hugh[/name], [name]Kevin[/name], [name]Nigel[/name], [name]Jason[/name] and [name]Alan[/name], I don’t think they’re useable.

[name]Daisy[/name], [name]Joel[/name] & [name]Molly[/name] [name]Abigail[/name]
[name]Daisy[/name], [name]Joel[/name] & [name]Orla[/name] [name]Abigail[/name]

The two potential sibsets above are my favourites; [name]Molly[/name] and [name]Orla[/name] are perfect with [name]Daisy[/name] and [name]Joel[/name].

[name]Pippa[/name] Drinkwater doesn’t sound right, but [name]Pippa[/name] is adorable. Expect it to shoot up in popularity soon though!

[name]Daisy[/name], [name]Joel[/name] & [name]Theo[/name]
[name]Daisy[/name], [name]Joel[/name] & [name]Lucas[/name]

The 2 sibsets above are my favourites for a a little, again [name]Theo[/name] and [name]Lucas[/name] fit perfectly.

I really think [name]Piper[/name] would be perfect for your sibset for a girl! I also initially thought [name]Evan[/name] & [name]Joel[/name] would go nice together for brothers.

Out of your list though, I like [name]Molly[/name], [name]Lucy[/name], & [name]Georgia[/name] for girls & I love [name]Lucas[/name] [name]Henry[/name] for a boy!

Best of luck!

Thankyou both! I do like [name]Piper[/name] but I’m not sure about the double er ending with our surname - am I overthinking? We discounted [name]Peter[/name] for a boy for the same reason… I do like [name]Evan[/name] too thanks! sheflieswithherownwings: I have been questioning whether names ending in a are a good idea… I think it’s the er ending surname again. What do you think?

Thanks, [name]Val[/name] x

Yeah I think that might be the case, I would probably look to names with a’s on the end so in this case I stick think [name]Molly[/name] is perfect. I think the ‘a’ sounds so rhymey and it makes the name sound a little off.

[name]Lovely[/name] list of names you have! I love the idea of a little [name]Kevin[/name], [name]Nigel[/name], [name]Alan[/name] running around, even though some conside the names to be dated.
Also, from the girls list I love tessa, phoebe [name]Georgia[/name] and orla.
My picks for the sib set would be either:
[name]Tessa[/name] [name]Louise[/name]
And
[name]Nigel[/name] [name]Henry[/name]

[name]Hattie[/name] [name]Louise[/name]
or
[name]Colin[/name] [name]Henry[/name]

I love most of your girls names. My favorites are [name]Dahlia[/name], [name]Phoebe[/name], and [name]Lucy[/name]. I don’t care for most of your boys names. I like [name]Charlie[/name] and [name]Hugh[/name].

Thanks everyone! I guess I like so called “dated” boys names then!! I’m particularly loving [name]Adam[/name] at the moment - but this does change on an almost daily basis. I think [name]Thea[/name] is still leading the pack with the girls. Any other opinions? Thankyou, [name]Val[/name] x

My favorites from your girl choices: [name]Molly[/name], [name]Thea[/name], [name]Phoebe[/name], [name]Hattie[/name], [name]Lucy[/name], [name]Tessa[/name]. Any of those are lovely and would fit well with [name]Daisy[/name] and [name]Joel[/name]!

For boys, my favorites from your list are: [name]Hugh[/name], [name]Marcus[/name] (one of my faves!), [name]Kevin[/name] (perhaps it’s dated, but I am biased because one of my book’s characters has this name and I like the sound of it too), [name]Nigel[/name] (fun and quirky!), [name]Jake[/name], [name]Jason[/name], [name]Alan[/name], and [name]Albus[/name]. [name]Albus[/name] is cool! [name]Albus[/name] Drinkwater would probably be a bit much, I agree…but…it’s a cool name. :smiley:
