New Sibling to Theo and Lila

Name Advice
1

We are expecting and don’t know the gender yet but would like to start thinking of some names for our new little one. We have DS [name_u]Theo[/name_u] and DD [name_f]Lila[/name_f]. What other names first come to your head when you hear [name_u]Theo[/name_u] and [name_f]Lila[/name_f]?

For a boy I really like [name_u]Beau[/name_u] but wondering if the matchy endings with [name_u]Theo[/name_u] would get confusing/sound tacky. Wdyt?

For a girl I really like [name_f]Emme[/name_f], (pronounced [name_f]Em[/name_f]-mee) only thing is when u see the name do you see ([name_f]Em[/name_f]) I also love the name [name_f]Nora[/name_f] but can’t use unfortunately

I know it may look like a 4 letter theme but we are open to any names we just tend to lean towards the shorter ones, thank you for your help!

I love the names [name_u]Theo[/name_u] and [name_f]Lila[/name_f]! I’m in the short name camp too as I don’t care for nick names but would rather name my child something I love and use only that name. I think [name_u]Theo[/name_u] and [name_u]Beau[/name_u] work fine together as the other sounds are completely different and not rhymey. I think there may be some confusion with the name [name_f]Emme[/name_f] although I do know that it is pronounced [name_f]Em[/name_f]-mee, but I don’t think it should be a big issue. [name_m]Just[/name_m] nicely correct once and they will get it! Other suggestions…

[name_f]Ivy[/name_f]
[name_f]Carys[/name_f]

I love [name_u]Theo[/name_u] and [name_f]Lila[/name_f] as well. I think I like them so much that your suggestions seem dull in comparison.

I love [name_u]Theo[/name_u] and [name_f]Lila[/name_f] too! Not as keen on [name_u]Beau[/name_u] and [name_f]Emme[/name_f] (which I thought was pronounced “em”) tbh but they fit perfectly well with the other two.

Other short-name suggestions:
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m]
[name_m]Marcus[/name_m]
[name_u]Max[/name_u]
[name_m]Reuben[/name_m]
[name_m]Asher[/name_m]

[name_u]Alfie[/name_u]
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m]
[name_m]Caleb[/name_m]
[name_m]Henry[/name_m]

[name_f]Esme[/name_f] (seconded! If you like [name_f]Emme[/name_f], this has a similar sound and would be easier for people to pronounce)
[name_f]Evy[/name_f] (rhymes with " heavy")
[name_f]Hallie[/name_f] or [name_f]Callie[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosa[/name_f]
[name_f]Erin[/name_f]
[name_f]Thea[/name_f]
[name_f]Zosia[/name_f] (zo-sha)
[name_f]Emma[/name_f] or [name_f]Emily[/name_f]
[name_f]Amelie[/name_f]
[name_f]Olive[/name_f]
[name_f]Amie[/name_f]
[name_f]Siena[/name_f]

I prefer the [name_f]Emmy[/name_f] spelling, or even [name_f]Emmie[/name_f].

Swoon! [name_u]Theo[/name_u] and [name_f]Lila[/name_f] are my top names for a brother or sister for my son ([name_u]Owen[/name_u]).

[name_u]Beau[/name_u] and [name_f]Emme[/name_f] are nice. Since we have some overlap, I’ll suggest a few of my favorites:

[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
[name_f]Esme[/name_f]

[name_u]Rhys[/name_u]
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m]
[name_u]Emmett[/name_u] or [name_u]Everett[/name_u]

Good luck!

My thoughts: [name_u]Beau[/name_u] sounds too similar to [name_u]Theo[/name_u] and [name_f]Emme[/name_f] will always be pronounced [name_f]Em[/name_f]. With [name_u]Theo[/name_u] and [name_f]Lila[/name_f], I suggest:

[name_m]Pierce[/name_m]
[name_m]Ramsey[/name_m]
[name_u]Tobin[/name_u] ([name_u]Toby[/name_u])
