Siblings for Josephine

Name Advice
1

Hey Berries! I feel incredibly lucky as I look down at my 4 week old baby girl during our 2am night feed! So much so it gets me thinking about future sibling names :heart:

I’d love your suggestions for brother/ sister names for [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] (nn Josie)

Names we already know we like for some inspiration:

Longer names that can be shortened like [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] or [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] / [name_u]Benjamin[/name_u] or [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]

Short n sweet names like [name_f]Maeva[/name_f] or [name_u]Rory[/name_u]

Thanks, look forward to reading your suggestions :blush: x

[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] immediately popped into my head, before I even got to the line in your post where you give [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] as and example of the kind of name that you like!

Soooo… I’ll just stop there, with [name_f]Penelope[/name_f].

[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] & [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] ! :heart: :heart:

[name_f]Believe[/name_f] me this is my absolute fave but hubby isn’t convinced! :see_no_evil:

@procketx88x he has time to come around! :stuck_out_tongue:

[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] was on my list, and my husband without kissing a beat said, “oh, [name_u]Penny[/name_u]! I like it!” … And then I ran a line through the name, LOL. He did this with all of the longer names I had, and I don’t personally like names where the NN is the default [I have this whole “your name should be the name you use” thing, and I would absoulately give the legal name of [name_m]Jack[/name_m], [name_u]Max[/name_u], [name_f]Meg[/name_f], [name_f]Liz[/name_f], etc]…

That said, [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] offers several really good shortened versions / NNs that you both might like!
