So we have a very short, short list for baby #2, gender unknown, but we are so undecided! Please let me know what you think : )
Girl: [name]Coco[/name] [name]Jemima[/name] or [name]Coco[/name] [name]Florence[/name]
Other girl names we like are [name]Alice[/name], [name]Ruby[/name] and [name]Lucy[/name]
Boy: [name]Henry[/name] [name]Rupert[/name]
Other boy names we like are [name]Chester[/name], [name]Hugo[/name] and [name]Miles[/name]
We live in Australia and do not get Aunt [name]Jemima[/name]'s syrup here, so that is not a problem!
Our little girl is named [name]Matilda[/name] [name]Heather[/name].
Would love to hear what you think - we are open to suggestions!
[i][name]Coco[/name] is too nicknamey to be a full name in my opinion. Although I met a little girl in preps last week named [name]Coco[/name].
Have you considered a full name for the nickname [name]Coco[/name]?
I adore [name]Jemima[/name] and it fits in perfectly with [name]Matilda[/name] but I can’t push away the thought that they seem to be the most stereotypical Australian names…
I however would love to meet a little [name]Jemima[/name] with big sister [name]Matilda[/name].
I love [name]Florence[/name] as a first name and I really adore [name]Florence[/name] [name]Ruby[/name]. [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Florence[/name] is sweet too.
What about [name]Jemima[/name] [name]Lucy[/name], [name]Alice[/name] [name]Jemima[/name], [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Alice[/name], [name]Clara[/name] [name]Florence[/name]/[name]Florence[/name] [name]Clara[/name], [name]Florence[/name] [name]Lydia[/name]/[name]Lydia[/name] [name]Florence[/name] or [name]Jemima[/name] [name]Hazel[/name]/[name]Hazel[/name] [name]Jemima[/name]? [name]Do[/name] you like any of those?
I must say, I simply adore [name]Clara[/name] [name]Florence[/name]/[name]Florence[/name] [name]Clara[/name]! And I don’t normally like [name]Claire[/name]/[name]Clare[/name] or [name]Clara[/name].
[name]Henry[/name] [name]Rupert[/name] is so so handsome! As are [name]Chester[/name] and [name]Hugo[/name]! [name]Miles[/name] seems to be an odd one out for me…
What about [name]Chester[/name] [name]Hugo[/name]/[name]Hugo[/name] [name]Chester[/name], [name]Hugo[/name] [name]Rupert[/name], [name]Rupert[/name] [name]Edwin[/name]/[name]Edwin[/name] [name]Rupert[/name], [name]Edwin[/name] [name]Chester[/name], [name]Hugo[/name] [name]Edwin[/name] or [name]Chester[/name] [name]Frederick[/name]?
I always have more luck with girls names…[/i]
I agree: [name]Coco[/name] seems very cutesy and nicknamey to me for a full name, esp. compared with spunky, longer [name]Matilda[/name]. I think [name]Lucy[/name] [name]Florence[/name], [name]Alice[/name] [name]Jemima[/name], [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Jemima[/name], [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Alice[/name], or even [name]Jemima[/name] [name]Coco[/name] work better. You could still use [name]Coco[/name] as a nickname.
[name]Henry[/name] [name]Rupert[/name] is an absolute ringer! I like [name]Miles[/name] and [name]Hugo[/name] a great deal as well ([name]Chester[/name] I could take or leave). [name]Miles[/name] [name]Rupert[/name] is very sweet, too, and I like the alliteration of [name]Miles[/name] and [name]Matilda[/name].
I honestly think [name]Coco[/name] is really unfortunate. I would not be thanking for my parents for naming me that… [name]Jemima[/name], [name]Florence[/name], [name]Alice[/name] & [name]Lucy[/name] are lovely, though. The PPs suggestion of [name]Coco[/name] as a middle name makes it a lot less dislikeable if it’s a middle-name-turned-nick-name.
[name]Henry[/name] [name]Rupert[/name] is great, and I love [name]Miles[/name] & [name]Hugo[/name], too.
[name]Coco[/name] should be a nn [name]IMO[/name]. What about [name]Courtney[/name], [name]Colette[/name], [name]Coralie[/name], [name]Cordelia[/name], [name]Corinne[/name], or even [name]Nicole[/name] as a given name and [name]Coco[/name] as a nn?
I [name]LOVE[/name] your other names 1000% more! [name]Alice[/name], [name]Ruby[/name] and [name]Lucy[/name] are all wonderful names.
[name]Henry[/name] [name]Rupert[/name] is nice. Is [name]Rupert[/name] a family name? I’m not a big fan but it’s fine in the mn spot. I also love [name]Miles[/name]. [name]Chester[/name] and [name]Hugo[/name] are NMS.
I like [name]Lucy[/name] and [name]Ruby[/name]. And for a boy [name]Henry[/name]. Not a fan of [name]Chester[/name] or [name]Hugo[/name], and [name]Miles[/name] is ok.
Girl: [name]Coco[/name] [name]Jemima[/name] or [name]Coco[/name] [name]Florence[/name]- Not crazy about [name]Coco[/name], it’s a little bit of a wishy-washy name I think and like others I see it as a nn. I love [name]Florence[/name] and i think [name]Jemima[/name] is very cute!
Other girl names we like are [name]Alice[/name], [name]Ruby[/name] and [name]Lucy[/name]- I love [name]Ruby[/name], [name]Matilda[/name] and [name]Ruby[/name] sound awesome together! [name]Alice[/name] and [name]Lucy[/name] are both nice too
Boy: [name]Henry[/name] [name]Rupert[/name]- [name]Henry[/name] is lovely, and [name]Henry[/name] [name]Rupert[/name] is a good solid name for a boy. [name]Henry[/name] is also a name that will grow with him well.
Other boy names we like are [name]Chester[/name], [name]Hugo[/name] and [name]Miles[/name]- I adore [name]Hugo[/name], it was on my list until my hubby bumped it off. I’m not a fan of [name]Chester[/name], reminds me of a rabbit. And [name]Miles[/name] is OK, just not my style.
So after all that my favorites for your bub are:
[name]Ruby[/name] [name]Florence[/name], such a sweet name or [name]Florence[/name] [name]Coco[/name] could even work and [name]Hugo[/name] [name]Rupert[/name], cute, simple and classic, would go great with [name]Matilda[/name] or just your boy name of [name]Henry[/name] [name]Rupert[/name], sounds lovely to me and again would go great with [name]Matilda[/name].
It seems like you like classic names, I don’t think [name]Coco[/name] fits with your style compared to all the other names at all, but that’s just me
Really though any of the names you’ve chosen are quite nice.
Good [name]Luck[/name], can’t wait to hear his or her name
Gracen xx
I’m sorry but I could never take an adult woman named [name]Coco[/name] seriously. I do think you could get away with it being a nn but I wouldn’t use it as a given name. [name]Matilda[/name] is beautiful. What about using [name]Jemima[/name] as the fn?
With [name]Matilda[/name], I love [name]Ruby[/name] as a sister and [name]Henry[/name] as a brother. [name]Matilda[/name] [name]Heather[/name] and [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Florence[/name] or [name]Henry[/name] [name]Rupert[/name]. <3
[name]How[/name] about [name]Colette[/name], nn [name]Coco[/name]? Or [name]Cosette[/name]? [name]Colette[/name] [name]Florence[/name] would be very pretty.
For boys, I like [name]Henry[/name] [name]Rupert[/name].
[name]Coco[/name] just makes me think of Ice loves [name]Coco[/name]. [name]Alice[/name] and [name]Lucy[/name] are both beautiful names. [name]Love[/name] [name]Henry[/name] as well.
Thanks for the feeback everyone! I totally agree with [name]Coco[/name] being more of a nickname and I really want it as a middle name, with [name]Florence[/name] or [name]Jemima[/name] being the first name, but my husband is very keen on having it as a first name. I am sure I will be able to win him over though : ) And I think we have definately decided on [name]Henry[/name] [name]Rupert[/name].
[name]Coco[/name] [name]Florence[/name] is lovely! If you really like it, who cares if some people think its too nick namey, others like myself love [name]Coco[/name] as a first name… its spunky and characteristic enough to carry as one.
[name]Henry[/name] is a name you cant go wrong with i think, very safe.
[name]Jemima[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] would be adorable with [name]Matilda[/name] [name]Heather[/name]! I wish it wasn’t so associated with the pancake syrup over here because it really is a gorgeous name.
