[name_m]Hi[/name_m]! [name_f]My[/name_f] partner and I are a long way from having children and are still young, but we thought it would be fun to talk about what we might name our hypothetical children one day :)) I went through my current list with him, and the standouts to him were [name_f]Francesca[/name_f] & [name_m]Edmund[/name_m]! They would be called [name_u]Frankie[/name_u] and [name_u]Eddie[/name_u], which I think is adorable. I was pleasantly surprised with his choices
I was wondering what names you would pair with these two, if we were to have more than two children. What would you name a brother and sister for [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] “Eddie” & [name_f]Francesca[/name_f] “Frankie”?
Other names my partner liked from my list:
[name_f]Magdalena[/name_f] “Maggie / Magda”
[name_f]Allegra[/name_f]
[name_u]Georgie[/name_u] (but none of the longer forms)
[name_f]Gigi[/name_f] as a nickname (but can’t think of a full name he likes)
[name_m]Dante[/name_m]
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m] “Ozzy”
[name_m]Alonso[/name_m]
[name_u]Charlie[/name_u] (but not Charles)
[name_m]Edmund[/name_m] & [name_f]Francesca[/name_f] are so classic
From your list I think [name_f]Allegra[/name_f] & [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f] could work as they have that unexpected classic vibe similarly too [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] & [name_f]Francesca[/name_f].
From your boys list I think [name_m]Dante[/name_m] & [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] would work due to the whole established unexpected classic feel similar to your girls list. I particularly like [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] as he also has a fun nickname like [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] & [name_f]Francesca[/name_f].
You’ve had a few suggestions from @Greyblue so please count any repeats as me being in agreement with her
[name_f]Aila[/name_f] “Ailie”
[name_f]Ann[/name_f] “Annie”
[name_f]Barbara[/name_f] “Bobbie”
[name_f]Caroline[/name_f] “Callie”
“Dessie” (maybe Despina?)
[name_f]Georgiana[/name_f] “Georgie” (I’m guessing this is one of the long forms ruled out, but I went for it anyway)
[name_f]Jane[/name_f] “Janie”
[name_f]Josephina[/name_f] “Josie”
[name_f]Lucinda[/name_f] “Lucie”
[name_f]Mariella[/name_f] “Mollie”
[name_f]Rosanna[/name_f] “Rosie”
[name_f]Sophia[/name_f] “Sophie”
[name_f]Susan[/name_f] “Susie”
“Zibbie” (maybe Lizbeth?)
