Hi baby namers. We are thinking of TTC no. 3 soon.
We currently have a [name_f]Millicent[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] ([name_f]Millie[/name_f]) and [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_m]Gordon[/name_m] ([name_m]Tom[/name_m]).
For a future boy we like [name_u]George[/name_u] [name_m]William[/name_m] or [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_m]John[/name_m]. However, so stuck on girls names. Any ideas??
Last name is [name_u]Barrett[/name_u] and we are in Australia if that makes any difference.
For middle names we use family names, so some options (in order of preference) are [name_f]Susanne[/name_f]/Susanna, [name_f]Alice[/name_f], [name_f]Ann[/name_f], [name_f]Margaret[/name_f].
We also like names with cute nicknames but also open to all suggestions. We have a few on our list but nothing that seems to be ‘the one’ so I will wait and see what you clever people come up with before sharing our list!
Amabel
[name_f]Amelie[/name_f]
[name_f]Annabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Anabella[/name_f]
[name_u]Meredith[/name_u], nn [name_f]Merry[/name_f]? may be too similar to your [name_f]Millicent[/name_f].
[name_f]Abigail[/name_f]
[name_f]Alexa[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
[name_f]Cecily[/name_f]
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
[name_f]Audrey[/name_f]
[name_f]Mirabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f]
[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]
[name_f]Theodora[/name_f]
[name_f]Astrid[/name_f]
[name_f]Aster[/name_f]
[name_f]Dorothea[/name_f]
[name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f]
[name_u]Antonia[/name_u]
[name_f]Lavinia[/name_f]
[name_f]Davina[/name_f] nn [name_m]Davey[/name_m], [name_u]Vinnie[/name_u].
[name_f]Verena[/name_f]
[name_f]Jessica[/name_f]
[name_f]Alara[/name_f]
How do you feel about another name beginning with M, would you consider it if it was otherwise
dissimilar to [name_f]Millicent[/name_f]?
Thank you! I actually really like [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] but I am turned off by the fact that there are two possible pronunciations. [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] I also love but too close to the surname which will be [name_u]Barrett[/name_u]. And [name_f]Florence[/name_f] is also great but I think maybe too ‘rhymey’ with our son [name_m]Thomas[/name_m].
Of your suggestions I think [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] is my favourite!
Thank you for your help! Great list
I like quite a few. I really like [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] but hubby vetoed cos [name_f]Annie[/name_f] rhymes with his name and he thinks it will be confusing!
I really like [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], nn [name_u]Joey[/name_u]. And I like [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] a lot but not sure if I like ‘[name_u]Penny[/name_u]’ as a nickname…
I LOVE [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] and this was on our list for [name_f]Millicent[/name_f], but I think we would use [name_f]Evie[/name_f] as a nickname and that is a very common name where we live so we decided against it.
Thank you! I think [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Lottie[/name_f]) is going to the top of my list at the moment. I love it. But my only concern is that [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] is really popular where we live so that ruins it slightly. However [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] is also quite common and we still went with that cos he loved it, so it’s not a deal breaker!
I also like [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], but not the nickname [name_f]Lizzie[/name_f]. Maybe nickname [name_f]Betty[/name_f] would be cute.
Thank you for suggestions. I LOVE [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], but we’d use [name_f]Evie[/name_f] as a nickname and it’s quite common where we live so that turns me off a bit. Still it’s on the list!
Harriet nn [name_f]Hattie[/name_f]
[name_f]Georgina[/name_f] nn [name_f]Gia[/name_f] or [name_f]Gina[/name_f]
[name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] nn [name_f]Dottie[/name_f] or [name_f]Thea[/name_f]
[name_f]Louisa[/name_f] nn [name_f]Lula[/name_f] or [name_u]Lou[/name_u]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] nn [name_f]Bea[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] nn [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] or [name_f]Lindy[/name_f]
[name_f]Florence[/name_f] nn [name_f]Flo[/name_f] or [name_f]Flossie[/name_f]
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] nn [name_f]Vivi[/name_f]
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f] nn [name_f]Cate[/name_f] or [name_u]Kit[/name_u]
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] nn [name_f]Genny[/name_f], [name_f]Evie[/name_f], [name_f]Neve[/name_f]
[name_f]Henrietta[/name_f] nn [name_f]Hattie[/name_f] or [name_f]Etta[/name_f]
Millicent & [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] are lovely. [name_u]George[/name_u] or [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] would both be super cute w/your crew. I like [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] a little bit more, personally. It’s just a little more interesting.
For boys I love [name_u]George[/name_u] [name_m]William[/name_m]! I have [name_m]William[/name_m] [name_u]George[/name_u] on my own list!! [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_m]John[/name_m] is also really great.
Some ideas as a first name for girls:
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] “[name_f]Bea[/name_f]” “[name_u]Tris[/name_u]”
[name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f] “[name_u]Billie[/name_u]” “[name_f]Mina[/name_f]”
[name_f]Cecily[/name_f] “[name_f]Cece[/name_f]” "[name_f]Lily[/name_f]
[name_f]Mary[/name_f] “[name_f]Ree[/name_f]” “[name_f]Mimi[/name_f]”
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] “[name_f]Viv[/name_f]” “[name_f]Lettie[/name_f]”
