I Recently posted about some of our favourite first name choices, and the help we got here was amazing!

However, my husband and I still can’t agree on a first name for our third baby! I thought it might be helpful for us to list the current front runners with our preferred middle name (although those are more flexible!)

We really want to avoid a very popular/overused name but like well-established names, with British flair. If there are others you think would fit our style, please do suggest them! Names we love but can’t use:

[name_f]Florence[/name_f]/Flora
[name_f]Ella[/name_f]
[name_f]Sophia[/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f]

We don’t mind a longer first name, as long as there is a two syllable abbreviations. We are big nicknamers! Siblings are [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] and [name_m]Charles[/name_m].

Best combo
  • [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] ([name_f]Bella[/name_f])
  • [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] ([name_f]Cece[/name_f])*
  • [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
  • [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
  • [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] ([name_f]Annie[/name_f])
  • [name_f]Cecelia[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] ([name_f]Cece[/name_f])

I love those—especially [name_f]Lavinia[/name_f] with [name_f]Livie[/name_f] or [name_f]Livia[/name_f] as a nickname!

My husband will be very happy to hear that—he’s very team [name_f]Annabel[/name_f]! I do love it too.

Thanks for all these votes! It has helped us to rule out [name_f]Arabella[/name_f], which is a start, and [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] seems a favourite! The others are all so close!

I realized after I posted that I should have added in [name_f]Florence[/name_f]/Flora, as it’s one of my favourites but my husband isn’t a fan…might have helped one of us win the argument :grimacing:

I think [name_u]Coco[/name_u] or Cozy would be cool nicknames for [name_f]Cosima[/name_f].
