Some English digraphs are:
“th” “ph” “ch” “sh” “wh”…
I’m looking for names (both genders) that have these in them. Myself, my husband and our first son, Theodore, all have these in our names… Now I want to try to continue the tradition. It can be anywhere within the name. Or a part of a hyphenated name. I tried looking online for a list, but I didn’t find anything out there.
Our little guy is Theodore DeAndre.
We also love the names Thomas (but for family reasons, I don’t think we will be using it), Jonathan (but too many John’s in the family lol) and Annie, Sophia, and Madeline (We love Madeline, Mattie for short) but there’s too many versions on this name out there right now I don’t think we will use it. It also doesn’t have the digraphs. But these are just names we both agreed on, which it’s hard for us to agree. He tends to be more traditional. I tend to be more older generation traditional with new twists kind of names.

This is a fun tradition! I’m not sure if all of these names would count as digraphs, but you can decide what qualifies and what doesn’t. I’ll just do girls names for now, but if you’d like, I can come back and do boys tomorrow. 
I’ll put potential nicknames in brackets.
