Help, need a name for suprise baby no.5!

HonourF · April 23, 2021, 9:50pm

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] all,
[name_m]Just[/name_m] found out our 5th (slightly unplanned) child is a girl and we are thoroughly stumped for what to call her!

We already have 4 children, 2 boys, and 2 girls their names are…
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_u]Tate[/name_u]
[name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_m]John[/name_m] Taidgh
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Janet[/name_f] [name_f]Isabella[/name_f]
[name_u]George[/name_u] [name_u]Emmett[/name_u] [name_m]Henry[/name_m]
(Our surname begins with an F)

All of our children’s names follow the pattern of first name, name of a family member we want to honor then another name that we like as their other middle name.

[name_u]Baby[/name_u] 5 will be following this pattern, her first middle name will be [name_f]Mairead[/name_f] but were not sure about the other middle name or her first name…

Any suggestions would be appreciated, we love classic [name_f]English[/name_f] and regal names as you can tell from our kids names but also Irish names as my family is Irish and it may be nice to honor my family with baby 5 if we can find one we like.

Hopefully, you can help us name our perfect little surprise!
XX

I’m loving [name_f]Clara[/name_f] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] at the moment, however, DH thinks Violets too girly.
Any opinions on [name_f]Thea[/name_f], I’m not sure if I love it or hate it, is it a little hard to say?

VEL · April 24, 2021, 11:51am

I like [name_f]Thea[/name_f], and I think it goes with your other children! I don’t find it hard to say, but I have heard a few different pronunciations if that’s a concern.

[name_m]Hi[/name_m],
I think they have nice, traditionally names that are very old-fashioned but not out of date, so what about names such as:
[name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Dinah[/name_f]
[name_f]Sarah[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f]
[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Caroline[/name_f]
