Pick your favourites please!

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] fellow berries,

As I near the end of my second pregnancy (37 weeks), I’ve managed to whittle our name choices down to 3 per gender (we don’t know yet if bub is a boy or a girl). We already have a son named [name_u]Jude[/name_u] & I’d love another name with a similar feel. The contenders are…

GIRL:
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f]

BOY:
[name_m]Otis[/name_m]
[name_u]Owen[/name_u]
[name_m]Ewan[/name_m]

Would love to know your thoughts & perhaps help me to whittle the choice further to 2 names per gender! Thanks guys! Xx

My choice would be:
[name_u]Jude[/name_u] and [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
Or
[name_u]Jude[/name_u] and [name_u]Owen[/name_u]

I actually love [name_u]Owen[/name_u], [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] and [name_u]Jude[/name_u]! [name_f]Iris[/name_f] and [name_m]Ewan[/name_m] are nice as well.
([name_m]Otis[/name_m] was a name of an imaginary friend when I was young and I don’t like the of [name_f]Ivy[/name_f], IV)

You really can’t go wrong with any of your choices, though :slight_smile:

[name_f]Iris[/name_f] goes best with [name_u]Jude[/name_u].
[name_u]Owen[/name_u] I like best, although [name_m]Otis[/name_m] does go well with [name_u]Jude[/name_u].

I like the sound of [name_u]Jude[/name_u] & [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] and [name_u]Jude[/name_u] & [name_m]Otis[/name_m]!

[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] or [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]

[name_u]Owen[/name_u] or [name_m]Otis[/name_m]

I really like your naming style.

For a girl, my favorite of your names is [name_f]Iris[/name_f] and my second choice would be [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]. [name_u]Jude[/name_u] and [name_f]Iris[/name_f] sound fantastic together. [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] seems more common to me.

For a boy, my favorite is [name_m]Otis[/name_m] and my second choice would be [name_m]Ewan[/name_m]. As with. [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], [name_u]Owen[/name_u] seems mor common,

My favorites are [name_u]Jude[/name_u] and [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] or [name_u]Jude[/name_u] and [name_u]Owen[/name_u].

[name_u]Jude[/name_u] and [name_f]Iris[/name_f] or [name_u]Jude[/name_u] and [name_u]Owen[/name_u].

I find [name_u]Jude[/name_u] and [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] a little too Beatles, but maybe that’s just me.

[name_m]How[/name_m] funny! We have a [name_u]Jude[/name_u] and are currently ttc #2. [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] is our favorite girl choice. I also really like [name_f]Iris[/name_f]. [name_m]Otis[/name_m] is fabulous! Good luck!

[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] and [name_u]Owen[/name_u], for sure!

Thanks everyone! Loving all the positive comments ”. The mention of the Beatles link is funny as [name_u]Jude[/name_u] was actually named after the song “Hey [name_u]Jude[/name_u]” (& now sings it to himself) & I thought the Beatles connection for [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] would be a nice link between the 2 sibs. I think I’m swinging towards either [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] or [name_f]Iris[/name_f] for a girl, still not sure about a boy though… Thanks again berries!

I love [name_u]Jude[/name_u] and [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] and [name_u]Jude[/name_u] and [name_u]Owen[/name_u]!

I absolutely agree with sheflieswithherownwings; [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]/[name_m]Otis[/name_m] has my vote!

All good picks, but I like both [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] and [name_u]Owen[/name_u] as a sibset for [name_u]Jude[/name_u].

If you don’t mind the “Ju/[name_f]Lu[/name_f]” beginning, choose…[name_f]Lucy[/name_f].
If you do find it too similar…choose [name_f]Iris[/name_f].

1 [name_f]Iris[/name_f]
2 [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
3 [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]

There is only one boys name I like with [name_u]Jude[/name_u] and that is [name_m]Otis[/name_m]. I love [name_m]Ewan[/name_m] but it has the same problem as [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] (u sound) and [name_u]Owen[/name_u] just seems bland with [name_u]Jude[/name_u].

I love [name_u]Jude[/name_u]! I would choose [name_u]Jude[/name_u] & [name_f]Iris[/name_f] or [name_u]Jude[/name_u] & [name_u]Owen[/name_u]. I love those names so much, such nice sibsets. I like [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], but am not big on the other ones. Good luck and congrats!

[name_u]Jude[/name_u] & [name_f]Iris[/name_f] and [name_u]Jude[/name_u] & [name_u]Owen[/name_u] are my favourites. :slight_smile:

Oh, wow! You have great names picked out! I really like [name_u]Jude[/name_u] and [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]. They sound the best together in my opinion. [name_f]Iris[/name_f] is nice, too, but it doesn’t have the same sing-songy feel that [name_u]Jude[/name_u] and [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] have. I feel like [name_u]Jude[/name_u] and [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] could be siblings in a picture book. :slight_smile: I love them together.

[name_u]Jude[/name_u] and [name_u]Owen[/name_u] sound really nice together, too.

My vote goes to [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] for a girl and [name_u]Owen[/name_u] for a boy

[name_u]Owen[/name_u] for boys and [name_f]Iris[/name_f] or [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] for girls.
