Help me with sibling ideas for Francesca

Name Advice

Hello

[name]Baby[/name] two is due in 6 weeks and we are struggling for ideas. I posted a while ago about boys name ideas, as I do have a few girl ideas that we like but I’m finding boys difficult to come up with!

So I thought I’d ask for some Nameberry inspiration!

We are in the UK and our surname is Hornby. I’m half Italian and OH is English. DD is [name]Francesca[/name] [name]Rose[/name] - [name]Francesca[/name] because it’s a nod to my Italian family but not too unusual for the UK and [name]Rose[/name] ([name]Rosa[/name]) was my Italian [name]Nonna[/name]'s name, and is my middle name too. I’d quite like something Italian-ish again to continue the theme, but we can’t find an Italian boy’s name that we like, that goes with our surname so we don’t mind abandoning that theme…but it still needs to work with [name]Francesca[/name]!

Here are my ideas so far but I’m not sure if they go together as a set…

Girls
[name]Gabriella[/name]
[name]Claudia[/name]
[name]Sofia[/name]
[name]Alexandra[/name]
[name]Cara[/name]

Boys
[name]Joseph[/name]
[name]Sebastian[/name]
[name]Marcus[/name]/[name]Marco[/name]
[name]Elliott[/name]
[name]Evan[/name]

For middle names, we would quite like something family-related again. For a girl, my first name is [name]Helena[/name] and this was also OH’s grandmother’s name (known as [name]Lena[/name]). My maternal grandparents are [name]Margaret[/name] and [name]David[/name]. Their surname is [name]Lewis[/name], which we quite like for a boy’s middle name but is rather common here for a first name. OH is called [name]Edward[/name], which is a family name too.

So…please help?! What do you think of the ideas so far and what else could you suggest? I’m a bit more adventurous than my husband and I’m betting that I could have the final say due to push power!! :wink:

Many thanks

[name]Helena[/name]
