With all your help I have whittled it down to 3 options for a boy and girl. The middle names are set in stone as family names. Please don’t suggest any names off the list as we have struggled to get down to just these as it is !!!
Our other children are [name]Joshua[/name] and [name]Reuben[/name].
That’s a tough one! I love all of your choices, and they all sound great with the sibset. My top picks would have to be [name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Victoria[/name] and [name]Leo[/name] Bartle.
Best of luck, you can’t go wrong!
The only name I like on your girls’ list is [name]Charlotte[/name], the others are too frilly for my liking. With [name]Reuben[/name] I wouldn’t go with [name]Benedict[/name] as they could both end up going by [name]Ben[/name] when they’re older, and I think [name]Leo[/name] is the best fit with [name]Joshua[/name] and [name]Reuben[/name].
[name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Victoria[/name] & [name]Otis[/name] Bartle. I love [name]Beatrice[/name] too, but I think [name]Lottie[/name] is about the cutest nickname in the world.
I like all your girls names. I will say that when I saw that you have both [name]Beatrice[/name] and [name]Benedict[/name] (though it is spelled differently) I immediately thought of the [name]Shakespeare[/name] play Much ado about nothing. They eventually fall in love, hopefully that doesn’t turn you off though. It shouldn’t be a deciding factor since not a lot of people know about the more uncommon [name]Shakespeare[/name] plays.
Anyway my favorite are [name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Victoria[/name] and [name]Leo[/name] or [name]Otis[/name].
I love [name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Victoria[/name] and [name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Victoria[/name] (possibly [name]Emmeline[/name] a little more, though it’s hard to pick - I understand your trouble!) but not so much [name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Victoria[/name]. I love all your boy names! Probably [name]Benedict[/name] or [name]Leo[/name] more… but then I think of [name]Otis[/name] and I love that too! Sorry, I’m not much help!
[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Victoria[/name] & [name]Otis[/name] Bartle! [name]Love[/name] the nn [name]Emmie[/name] and [name]Otis[/name] is just an handsome name.
I love all of those girls names but I think a [name]Josh[/name], Reubs, [name]Emmie[/name] and [name]Leo[/name] are perfect. I have a soft spot for [name]Leo[/name] as it’s a family name for me. That’s a good point someone above raised about [name]Reuben[/name] and [name]Benedict[/name] both potentially being nicknamed [name]Ben[/name], and I don’t really “get it” with [name]Otis[/name] - although it is very popular on this site.
As for girls names, what a tough choice! I love them all! But I particularly love [name]Emmie[/name]
