So we have decided on our girls names: either [name]Pippa[/name] [name]Louise[/name] or [name]Thea[/name] [name]Louise[/name] - we like to have 2 finalists in case one doesn’t suit! Boys names are harder: middle name will be [name]Henry[/name], surname Drinkwater, siblings [name]Daisy[/name] [name]Hannah[/name] and [name]Joel[/name] [name]Matthew[/name]. So to the list!
I like [name]Theo[/name] best. I might recommend against [name]Jason[/name] as it shares the first letter with [name]Joel[/name] and [name]Nigel[/name] as it shares the ending. While I quite like [name]Theo[/name] and think it fits with [name]Daisy[/name] and [name]Joel[/name], I think [name]Alan[/name] and [name]Lewis[/name] are nice and possibly fit even better. Good luck!
With [name]Daisy[/name] and [name]Joel[/name], I like [name]Adam[/name] the best. Have you considered [name]Aaron[/name]? [name]Lewis[/name] is second ([name]Louis[/name] is my preferred spelling) followed by [name]Alan[/name].
Why I didn’t pick the others?
[name]Jason[/name] has the same initial as [name]Joel[/name].
[name]Nigel[/name] and [name]Joel[/name] end the same way.
[name]Theo[/name] (my fave) and [name]Joel[/name] are a bit matchy in sound.
I like [name]Daisy[/name], [name]Joel[/name] and [name]Theo[/name] or [name]Daisy[/name], [name]Joel[/name] and [name]Lewis[/name]. [name]Theo[/name] [name]Henry[/name] or [name]Lewis[/name] [name]Henry[/name] sound great. Diddo on [name]Jason[/name] and [name]Nigel[/name], I’m not crazy about how they sound with [name]Joel[/name].
Very interesting! I don’t think [name]Nigel[/name] and [name]Joel[/name] sound remotely similar! ny-jel vs jole (one syllable) - interesting that you’ve all commented on it though… mischa: [name]Louis[/name] is pn loo-ee here! So, aiming for an easy life for him. Not a fan of [name]Aaron[/name] but thanks! You do all have a point about 2 J initials!
Oh man you’ve just GOT to go with [name]Lewis[/name] [name]Henry[/name] Drinkwater! I love [name]Louis[/name], but I hear what you’re saying about pronunciation confusion. You have a great last name, and with [name]Henry[/name], I think of [name]John[/name] [name]Henry[/name] (in the excellent song) asking for a cool drink of water before he dies. [name]Lewis[/name] is so American, like [name]Lewis[/name] and [name]Clark[/name]. It’s relaxed but it’s got integrity, and works beautifully with the rest of the name. [name]Lewis[/name] [name]Henry[/name] Drinkwater is timeless, reminiscent of old blues music, and has SERIOUS character. The other names don’t feel as substantial to me.
I think [name]Pippa[/name] [name]Louise[/name] is just adorable! I’d quite like [name]Theadora[/name] but not just [name]Thea[/name]. I could so imagine [name]Pippa[/name] & [name]Theadora[/name] being sisters. [name]Daisy[/name], [name]Joel[/name] & [name]Pippa[/name] is just a fabulous sibset! [name]Pippa[/name] Drinkwater sounds much better than [name]Thea[/name] Drinkwater.
As for the boys I love the idea of [name]Daisy[/name], [name]Joel[/name] & [name]Theo[/name] / [name]Adam[/name] - both of those work well.
I love [name]Lewis[/name] [name]Henry[/name]! When I looked at your list of names, that was the first I thought of. Then I read your other kids names, and I think [name]Theo[/name] would be really great with [name]Daisy[/name] and [name]Joel[/name]. I also love [name]Thea[/name]!
I love that you’re not doing nicknames! We’re going to call [name]Baby[/name] what we name him or her as well!
Seems like [name]Lewis[/name] has his own cheering section! ottilie: I think that just put [name]Theo[/name] out of the running for a boy… I love [name]Thea[/name] more and couldn’t use both… Can’t believe I hadn’t noticed that before!
We are left with:
[name]Adam[/name] [name]Henry[/name] Drinkwater
[name]Nigel[/name] [name]Henry[/name] Drinkwater
[name]Alan[/name] [name]Henry[/name] Drinkwater
[name]Lewis[/name] [name]Henry[/name] Drinkwater
1: [name]Lewis[/name]. I think it is one of the loveliest boys names. And the s-ending freshens the name up.
2: [name]Adam[/name]. It sounds nice with middle and last names.
[name]Both[/name] of these sounds adoreable with [name]Daisy[/name] and [name]Joel[/name].
I like [name]Adam[/name] and [name]Theo[/name]. I don’t like [name]Jason[/name] and [name]Alan[/name]. [name]Nigel[/name] is ok, very uncommon. There is something appealing about [name]Lewis[/name].
I love [name]Pippa[/name] and [name]Thea[/name]! My favourite for a boy is [name]Theo[/name]- it’s cool but will work on all ages, and no need for a nickname.
