My feel on boys is definitely towards [name]Oliver[/name]. [name]Oscar[/name] is a little too “cool for school” for me and [name]Oliver[/name] to me is a little more in line with [name]Alice[/name] and [name]Harry[/name].
I guess I’m still not sold on these 3 completely. As I’m not keen on another “ie” ending name due to having a [name]Harry[/name]. I like stand alone names.
Anyway, last night, my husband threw another name into the mix and I think I’m quite keen on it. It’s [name]Imogen[/name]. I am actually not sure why it appeals but I think its a lovely name and the meaning of it is “beloved child”. As this would definitely be our last child I think the meaning it even more apt. Plus there is no “ie” sound!
So tell me…[name]Imogen[/name]. And remember the way us Aussies pronounce may be different to those in the States. If you are uncertain with the sound do a quick look on the site. It doesn’t end with a GEEEENE it ends with more of a [name]GIN[/name] but with a soft “g” sound.
[name]Alice[/name], [name]Henry[/name], and [name]Imogen[/name] is smashing! I like it much better than your other options. I think it goes brilliantly with your other children.
Oh thanks, dindlee! My husband was always sold on [name]Emmie[/name] for [name]Emma[/name] (but not for me) so I think he likes the nn Immie (or [name]Immy[/name]) for [name]Imogen[/name]. I was actually shocked he came up with something so lovely! Having said that, I don’t think we would use a nn much as all our kidlets have nn not associated with their actual names at all.
Definitely encouraged to have such a positive response from you
Oh thanks for your input darlingdoe! I don’t know why it sprung into my husband’s thoughts…he never contributes to these discussions willingly and then he throws out a random, fabulous name. Maybe he’s a secret [name]Berry[/name] ;). Its terrible cause now i’m hoping for a girl so i can use the name!
Thanks tristan! Would hope someone would say honestly if they thought it was hideous but I think we may be on a winner…I only talk names on here but think the family would like it.
[name]Alice[/name], [name]Harry[/name] and [name]Imogen[/name] is cute. I love [name]Alice[/name] and [name]Henry[/name] for my future children, but I’m a bit OCD, so would probably have to pair with another five-letter name. But that’s just me!
shieldsc i still do have a soft spot for our short list of names. Husband’s pick has always been [name]Lucy[/name]. Still a soft spot for it…so definitely not getting rid of it just yet
[name]Alice[/name], [name]Harry[/name], and [name]Imogen[/name] are perfect together! It’s a very typical sib-set here in [name]England[/name], I think, as all three names rank quite highly. I love them together!
[name]Both[/name] your boys options are lovely, too. You can’t go wrong with either!
I think [name]Alice[/name], [name]Harry[/name], and [name]Imogen[/name] sound good together:). I also like [name]Alice[/name], [name]Harry[/name], and [name]Lucy[/name].
[name]Imogen[/name] was never my cup of tea, but it goes really really well with [name]Alice[/name] and [name]Harry[/name]! [name]Lucy[/name] is my favorite!
Husband definitely still has a soft spot for [name]Lucy[/name], and if I said a definite yes to [name]Lucy[/name] then we would be done. But since I am still ummming and ahhhing over the name…[name]Imogen[/name] definitely sounds like a good option.
@sapphires its funny you say they are a classic English sibset. I have been awfully worried that the media was saying that the royal-bub-to-be, if a girl, [name]Alice[/name] was up the top. I would be horrified since we already have a “royalish” name with [name]Harry[/name]. I have been told before that my taste in names is old fashioned English (though I would prefer timeless )
[name]Alice[/name], harry and imogen are perfect
Personally I wouldn’t pick [name]Alice[/name],harry and [name]Lucy[/name] because I think [name]Lucy[/name] and harry sound kind of similar but who am I to talk when my favorite twin sibset is [name]Isabella[/name] and [name]Annabelle[/name]
Either way you can’t go wrong with your choice!
I also love [name]Oliver[/name] with your kids
