Dreaming of a sibling for Beatrix

cactusgram · December 18, 2018, 5:52pm

Our little [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] is just 3 months old and I love her so much that I can’t help but dream of future babies. I’m not sure if we will have any more but it’s still fun to think about names.

My favorites for girls:
[name_f]Winifred[/name_f] nn [name_f]Winnie[/name_f]
[name_f]Daisy[/name_f]
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] nn [name_f]Hattie[/name_f]
[name_f]Louise[/name_f]/[name_f]Louisa[/name_f] nn [name_u]Lou[/name_u]
[name_f]Philippa[/name_f] nn [name_f]Pippa[/name_f]

Middles:
[name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Frances[/name_f]
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
[name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Isobel[/name_f]

My favorites for boys:
[name_m]Casper[/name_m]
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] nn [name_u]Teddy[/name_u]
[name_m]Harry[/name_m]
[name_m]Archie[/name_m]
[name_m]Miles[/name_m]
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m]
[name_m]Rupert[/name_m]

Middles:
[name_u]August[/name_u]
[name_m]Linus[/name_m]
[name_u]James[/name_u]

You definitely don’t have to stick to this list but I was curious about your ideas!

[name_f]Philippa[/name_f] “[name_f]Pippa[/name_f]” [name_f]Violet[/name_f] or [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] for a little sister and [name_m]Casper[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] for a brother, though I prefer [name_m]Casper[/name_m] [name_m]Hawthorne[/name_m] from your sig.

[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] or [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_f]Olive[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] for a girl and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] or [name_m]Philip[/name_m] [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u]. I also like [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] for a girl btw.

detective_chuckles · December 23, 2018, 8:57am

[name_m]Archie[/name_m]! Maybe it’s because its my favourite name but either way it’s lovely with [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]. Though I prefer [name_m]Archibald[/name_m], [name_m]Archie[/name_m] is just as good. I actually think [name_m]Archibald[/name_m] [name_u]August[/name_u] is stunning.

[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] is lovely too!

Your daughter has such a wonderful, vintage name. I love it!
Combos from your list:
[name_f]Winifred[/name_f] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f]: This leapt out at me immediately. [name_f]Winifred[/name_f] is my favorite name from your list because it is so unusual, yet remarkably wearable and perfect with [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], as both have charm and quirk. [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] is a beautiful, gentle name to temper some of the formality of [name_f]Winifred[/name_f], and it shares a nature connection with [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]. [name_f]Louise[/name_f], a serene classic, seems the wrap the name up with grace and sweetness.
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]: Or maybe this is my favorite. [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] and [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] are so spunky, underused, unexpected, and strong together. [name_f]Frances[/name_f] is just exquisite and fits well with [name_f]Harriet[/name_f], and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] is an upbeat, vivid name with a nature connection.
[name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Isobel[/name_f]: Another truly lovely, classic name. [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] is bright and evocative, [name_f]Alice[/name_f] is spunky, classic, and stylish, and [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] rounds out the name with an unexpected, gentle twist. Each name subtly picks up the sound of the next, which I love.
[name_f]Louisa[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]: [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] is a darling name with tons of history, [name_f]Frances[/name_f] is strong and different, and [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] is positively regal. Together, they are balanced and beautiful.

Other ideas:
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f]: This is one of my favorite sister names for [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]. Like [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], it is strong and vintage, but also quirky due to an unexpected sound. It is quite rare, but wearable throughout life, not to mention gorgeous. [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] or even just [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] are stunners.
[name_f]Georgiana[/name_f]: [name_f]Georgiana[/name_f] is to [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] what [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] is to [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]: A striking, just-as-classic-and-stylish alternative with distinction and quirk. It is a feminization, like the [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] and [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] on your list. [name_f]Georgiana[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] and [name_f]Georgiana[/name_f] [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] are gorgeous.
[name_f]Rosalind[/name_f]: [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] has the flow and many of the sounds of [name_f]Winifred[/name_f], but is a nature name like [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]. It is literary and lovely. [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] is a name with mystique and flair.
[name_f]Ruth[/name_f]: A short, impactful option that I like for you as a first but love for you as a middle. [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_f]Ruth[/name_f], [name_f]Winifred[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Ruth[/name_f], [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_f]Ruth[/name_f]…
[name_f]Theodora[/name_f]: I saw [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] in your signature, and wondered if you’d consider [name_f]Theodora[/name_f]. It is a feminization with quirk and substance.
[name_f]Lucille[/name_f]: Longer than [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], and far less popular, this name has many of the great sounds and vintage vibes of [name_f]Louisa[/name_f], but also a bit of [name_f]Philippa[/name_f]'s flair. [name_f]Lucille[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], [name_f]Lucille[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], [name_f]Lucille[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Isobel[/name_f]…
Ludivine: This name is extremely rare and distinctive, but oh my goodness is it gorgeous. Strong, spunky, interesting, and beautiful, it has the ending of [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], the flow of [name_f]Winifred[/name_f], and the sounds of [name_f]Louise[/name_f] and [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]. Ludivine [name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] is a wonderful, lively, striking name.

[name_f]Louisa[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f]/[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u]
are my faves

I only just realised but that would mean that they all would have a month in common in their name which would be so nice.

Thank you, @allroundthesun and @danakatherine for the feedback!

I like that too. We met in [name_u]August[/name_u] and got married in [name_u]August[/name_u] so I really like that middle name for a boy.

brittanyanitarose · February 12, 2019, 3:54pm

[name_f]Philippa[/name_f] and [name_f]Winifred[/name_f] were both on my list when I was considering [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]! They both seem like natural sibling choices. [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f] is another name that comes to mind.

[name_f]Winifred[/name_f] [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f] is so beautiful! And I love [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f] but couldn’t get my SO on board! :\

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u] is lovely!

Here are my thoughts on your lists:

[name_f]Winifred[/name_f] nn [name_f]Winnie[/name_f]-I love [name_f]Winnie[/name_f], but always thought that [name_f]Winifred[/name_f] sounded sort of heavy. I like [name_f]Anwen[/name_f] or [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] nn [name_f]Winnie[/name_f] best.

[name_f]Daisy[/name_f]-Cute! Great with [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]. Classic and spunky.

[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] nn [name_f]Hattie[/name_f]-Same as above. I don’t even mind [name_f]Hattie[/name_f] as a full name.

[name_f]Louise[/name_f]/[name_f]Louisa[/name_f] nn [name_u]Lou[/name_u]-I don’t care much for [name_u]Lou[/name_u], but the full names are nice. Feminine, but not overly frilly.

[name_f]Philippa[/name_f] nn [name_f]Pippa[/name_f]-This is fun. Not my favorite, but pretty good.

Suggestions:

[name_f]Adeline[/name_f]

[name_f]Coraline[/name_f]

[name_f]Clementine[/name_f]

[name_u]Eloise[/name_u]

[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]

[name_f]Violet[/name_f]

[name_m]Casper[/name_m]-This is nice. Kind of cool and different, but heard of.

[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] nn [name_u]Teddy[/name_u]-Adorable. Perfect with [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] too.

[name_m]Harry[/name_m]-I like this, but mostly as a nn for [name_m]Henry[/name_m].

[name_m]Archie[/name_m]-Super cute, but I like it as a nn for [name_m]Archer[/name_m].

[name_m]Miles[/name_m]-I can’t get into this one. I love [name_m]Milo[/name_m] though. Go figure.

[name_m]Oscar[/name_m]-[name_u]Love[/name_u] it!

[name_m]Rupert[/name_m]-I want to like it.

Suggestions:

[name_m]Arthur[/name_m]

[name_m]Hugh[/name_m]

[name_m]Linus[/name_m]

[name_m]Oliver[/name_m]

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps.
