I have three LOs: [name]Helena[/name] [name]Freja[/name] [name]Lucille[/name] (Hellie), [name]Frederick[/name] [name]Henry[/name] [name]Elijah[/name] ([name]Freddie[/name]), and [name]Florence[/name] [name]Ingrid[/name] [name]Eliza[/name] ([name]Indie[/name]). If baby #4 is a boy, he will be [name]Sebastian[/name] [name]Hugo[/name] [name]George[/name] or [name]Theodore[/name] [name]Jude[/name] [name]Hugo[/name] but I have no clue for a girls.
I love [name]Willa[/name], [name]Astrid[/name] and [name]Lorelai[/name]/[name]Lorelei[/name], but I always think that [name]Willa[/name] is just a bit too close to willy, [name]Astrid[/name] = assturd and anytime I mention [name]Lorelai[/name] everyone just goes on about gilmore girls. But also none of these names seem to go with the long, vaguely traditional theme I seem to have started. I used to love [name]Matilda[/name] but I’ve gone off it recently for no apparent reason.
I’ve been thinking of having [name]Frida[/name] or [name]Willa[/name] as one of the middle names, but cannot seem to think of any names I actually like as first names. The three names that I have been considering lately have been [name]Adelaide[/name], [name]Avalon[/name] and [name]Romilly[/name], but I’m not sure I think they “go” with the other kids. Does that even matter? I am not sure, but I was a kid with a very different name (and look) to my siblings and I used to have the look people gave me when they were trying to work out if we were actually related/different dads etc.
Anyway, any name suggestions would be very helpful; pregnancy brain seems to be preventing me from actually thinking of any right now!
I think [name]Adelaide[/name] would work well with your others. I noticed that all of them have nicknames that end in the “ee” sound - is this something you’d want for the next little one too? If it is, [name]Adelaide[/name] gives you the cute [name]Addie[/name], and [name]Romilly[/name] could be [name]Romy[/name] or [name]Milly[/name]/[name]Millie[/name].
[name]Fiona[/name] came to mind when I was reading your post, but maybe it’s too close to [name]Florence[/name] for you? If you love [name]Willa[/name] but want to stick to a more traditional theme, what about [name]Wilhelmina[/name] with the nickname [name]Willa[/name]?
[name]Ramona[/name]
[name]Hilda[/name]
[name]Ottoline[/name]
[name]Roberta[/name]
[name]Margaret[/name] (maybe with nn [name]Greta[/name]?)
[name]Nora/name
I think [name]Adelaide[/name] works really well in your sibset too. [name]How[/name] about:
[name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Willa[/name] [name]Katherine[/name] ([name]Frida[/name] seems really close to [name]Freddie[/name] & [name]Freja[/name])
[name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Willa[/name] [name]Imogen[/name]
Or
[name]Alice[/name] [name]Willa[/name] [name]Gwendolyn[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Willa[/name] [name]Margaret[/name]
[name]Marguerite[/name] [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Willa[/name]
Or any combination of the above names that you like best
I think [name]Adelaide[/name] works best with your other children out of your options. Not sure about [name]Willa[/name], [name]Astrid[/name] or [name]Lorelai[/name] for the reasons you mention they just aren’t anywhere near as classic as your other name choices.
I am so glad I posted on here, some really great suggestions!
Added to my considering list are:
[name]Vivienne[/name] - Such a cute name, but I don’t know about nicknames.
[name]Rosalind[/name] - I love all [name]Rose[/name] names, I prefer [name]Rosalie[/name] to [name]Rosalind[/name] soundwise but I think [name]Rosalind[/name] goes better with the other names.
[name]Georgia[/name] - I love [name]Georgiana[/name], but everyone tells me it is very pretentious
[name]Juliette[/name] - I also like [name]Julianna[/name], but same as above.
[name]Augusta[/name] - I really like this
[name]Cordelia[/name] - I was a buffy fan, I sort of love this name but I am not sure for some reason.
[name]Cecilia[/name] - I really like [name]Cecilia[/name], but I’m never sure on nicknames?
[name]Wilhelmina[/name] - I love [name]Willa[/name] so much that I am considering this, I like it myself, but I do think other people will think it’s too weird/old-fashioned…
[name]Ottoline[/name] - I love [name]Ottilie[/name] as well, but always seemed a bit nicknamey
[name]Gwendolyn[/name] - [name]Gwen[/name] is such a cute nickname
[name]Margaret[/name] - I love [name]Maggie[/name] and [name]Greta[/name], but people seem to think that [name]Margaret[/name] is too old-fashioned as well.
[name]Beatrice[/name] - [name]Bea[/name] is such a cute nickname
We call our [name]Vivienne[/name] [name]Vivi[/name] she also get’s called [name]Vi[/name] sometimes by strangers and her big sister called her Bibienne and it kinda stuck with my sister and parents. It is a lovely name and we love it!
I love [name]Adelaide[/name] with your sibset! From your new list I also love [name]Ottoline[/name] and [name]Wilhelmina[/name]… I think they are stunning, unusual choices that match really well with your sibset!
Your children have such great names! I really like [name]Adelaide[/name], [name]Vivienne[/name], [name]Julianna[/name] (which I don’t find pretentious at all), and [name]Augusta[/name] with the rests of the sibset. I like both of the boy options you are considering as well. [name]Willa[/name] is definitely a top contender for a middle name. Good luck! =]
There are some really cute nicknames for [name]Cecilia[/name]! Ceci/[name]Cece[/name], [name]Celia[/name], [name]Lia[/name]. As for the [name]Margaret[/name] thing, I think it’s a classic that can stand the test of time, especially because it has endless nickname options. My sister is a [name]Margaret[/name] who goes by [name]Maggie[/name], and people seem to always think her name is cute.
I really like the names on your revised list, particularly [name]Augusta[/name], [name]Margaret[/name] & [name]Beatrice[/name]. I don’t think [name]Georgiana[/name] or [name]Julianna[/name] are pretentious either!
Your kids names are amazing! And you have a really great list. I was actually going to suggest [name]Romilly[/name] before i saw that you’d mentioned it, i think it would perfect with your kids and it has the nicknames [name]Romy[/name] and [name]Milly[/name].
From your list, i love:
[name]Wilhelmina[/name]- a bold choice, but an awesome one. Great nickname potential ([name]Willa[/name], [name]Minnie[/name], [name]Mina[/name], [name]Billie[/name]) and would sound great with your other kids names. Would work well as a middle as well.
[name]Vivienne[/name]- so elegant
[name]Georgia[/name]-but i prefer [name]Georgiana[/name]
[name]Cordelia[/name]- gorgeous! I love the meaning as well, very romantic
[name]Ottoline[/name]- would also be perfect in the middle
[name]Beatrice[/name]- there is so much to love about [name]Beatrice[/name], i think this is my favourite from the whole list.
Can i also suggest- [name]Cecily[/name], [name]Felicity[/name], [name]Tabitha[/name], [name]Seraphine[/name], [name]Cosima[/name], [name]Lucienne[/name]
