Sibling for Beatrice

Name Advice
1

This is a purely theoretical baby for now, but I like to think about it and plan ahead. :smiley:

We have an almost 3 y/o named [name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Lily[/name]. She gets called [name]Bee[/name] or [name]Lily[/name] [name]Bee[/name] most of the timeā€“Iā€™m big on nicknames! I tend to like names that are classic or old-fashioned and maybe a bit fusty. Iā€™m thinking it might be cute to do another nature-y middle name, but Iā€™m not attached to the idea.

These are some of my favourite names at the moment, but nothingā€™s really sticking out to me as the ā€œthe oneā€ like [name]Beatrice[/name]'s name did. Iā€™m also at a loss as to first/middle combinations. Iā€™d love to hear what you Berries come up with!

[name]Julian[/name]
[name]Oscar[/name]
[name]Theodore[/name]
[name]Henry[/name]
[name]Percy[/name]

[name]Alice[/name]
[name]Caroline[/name]
[name]Agatha[/name]
[name]Harriet[/name]
[name]Cordelia[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name]
[name]Georgia[/name]

violetgray - I love [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Ivy[/name]! [name]Henrietta[/name] [name]Poppy[/name] caught my eye too, but Iā€™m afraid SO would never agree to [name]Henrietta[/name]ā€“too frilly. [name]Georgia[/name] [name]Fern[/name] is gorgeous as well.

I love your suggestions of [name]Henry[/name] [name]Oak[/name], [name]Arthur[/name] [name]Basil[/name], and [name]Oliver[/name] [name]Finch[/name] for boys. [name]Henry[/name] [name]Oak[/name] is just handsome and [name]Arthur[/name] [name]Basil[/name] sounds like a little old man, which I find completely charming and adorable!

lori johnson - ā€œIntellectual powerā€ is right up my alley, I really like most of those names. Unfortunately we already know several [name]Max[/name]'s and a [name]Louise[/name], but [name]Rupert[/name] is one I might consider.

For boys, I really like [name]Henry[/name], [name]Theodore[/name] and [name]Simon[/name]. I think that they all fit really well with [name]Beatrice[/name]. I think that [name]Henry[/name] [name]Simon[/name] and [name]Simon[/name] [name]Theodore[/name] make really good first/middle combos.

As far as girls go, my favourite name is definitely [name]Georgia[/name]. I think [name]Beatrice[/name] and [name]Georgia[/name] would be a lovely sibset. I like the combos [name]Georgia[/name] [name]Rose[/name], [name]Georgia[/name] [name]Caroline[/name], and [name]Georgia[/name] [name]Eleanor[/name].

Thanks for the input, erinlw! [name]Georgia[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] would be great because it would honour both of the babyā€™s grandmothers. Iā€™m worried the association with the US states is too strong, though. I suppose itā€™s not really that big of a deal, but it does bother me a little.
