We have [name]Baby[/name] #1 due next year. We aren’t finding out the gender so we’d like to have a couple names of each picked out to choose from. Maybe we’ll be able to keep the other names for future children if we still like them.
Middle names are all family names. [name]Shirley[/name] is of particular significance to DH, so we’d really like to use it.
At this stage our picks are:
[name]Annabel[/name] [name]Shirley[/name]
[name]Imogen[/name] [name]Patricia[/name]
[name]Thomas[/name] [name]William[/name] OR [name]Thomas[/name] [name]Peter[/name] OR [name]Thomas[/name] [name]William[/name] [name]Peter[/name]
[name]Hugh[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] OR [name]Hugh[/name] [name]William[/name]
[name]Just[/name] wondering your thoughts, and whether you think these go together as future sib-sets, or whether there’s anything else you might add. We’ll probably change our minds a few more times anyway.
Thanks
I don’t see any problem with them together. They are all cute names and together they are different and distinctive from each other but still retain a classic style. Good luck!
Congrats! All very nice, though [name]Shirley[/name] does seem a bit… “stuck in time”? What about [name]Annabel[/name] [name]Shire[/name]? Accomplishes the same thing in a bit more modern way. Regardless of middles, you have some very nice options here, and meaning trumps style [name]IMO[/name]
I like your names! [name]Annabel[/name] [name]Shirley[/name] is gorgeous, I actually see [name]Patricia[/name] as more old fashioned than [name]Shirley[/name].
I think they all go together perfectly although your boy’s names are more classic than your girl’s ones, but I know that is normal.
And I like [name]Thomas[/name] [name]William[/name] and [name]Hugh[/name] [name]Alexander[/name].
Adding [name]Olivia[/name] [name]Bronwen[/name] to the mix.
Can you suggest any other boys’ names that would fit in, and go with the middle name [name]Peter[/name].
