Right now we have 2 lovely little ladies [name]Lilla[/name] [name]Clare[/name] and [name]Vivienne[/name] [name]Grace[/name]. We have been talking baby names a lot lately since we are ttc baby #3(we have been for awhile) We think the girls are pretty well figured out but boys are harder, we like a lot of similar names.
For Girls we were thinking
[name]Elinor[/name] [name]June[/name] Cook
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Kate[/name] Cook
we also like:
[name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Caroline[/name]
[name]Iris[/name]
[name]Scarlett[/name]
[name]Tess[/name]
Not so keen on using because of [name]Lilla[/name]
[name]Clara[/name]
[name]Eliza[/name]
[name]Cecilia[/name]
Not so keen on using because of [name]Vivienne[/name]
[name]Adelaide[/name]
[name]Adeline[/name]
[name]Eloise[/name]
[name]Emmeline[/name]
We also like short middle names
[name]June[/name]
[name]Kate[/name]
[name]Mae[/name]
[name]Faye[/name]
[name]Wren[/name]
For the boys
[name]Henry[/name]
[name]Graham[/name]
[name]Theodore[/name]/[name]Theo[/name]/[name]Teddy[/name]
[name]August[/name] or [name]Atticus[/name] or [name]Fergus[/name] or [name]Rufus[/name]
DH really likes [name]Atticus[/name] I really like [name]August[/name], we both like [name]Rufus[/name] and we talked about using [name]Fergus[/name] and [name]Rupert[/name] together for a bit
[name]Rupert[/name] or [name]Rufus[/name]
[name]Jasper[/name] or [name]Oliver[/name] or [name]Oscar[/name]
middle names
[name]Beau[/name]
[name]Finn[/name]
[name]Flynn[/name]
[name]Jules[/name]
[name]Rhys[/name]
So I’m looking for some suggestions on sibsets about what names fit well together to help narrow down our list. Middle name suggestions are welcomed. We hope to have a large family so 3 girls names and 3 boys names would be wonderful.
What a great list you have! With [name]Lilla[/name] [name]Clare[/name] and [name]Vivienne[/name] [name]Grace[/name], I like:
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Kate[/name] Cook (or even [name]Penelope June[/name]) - I like [name]June[/name] with your last name.
[name]Elinor June [/name]
[name]Henry Atticus[/name] or [name]Henry Flynn[/name]
[name]Theodore August[/name] or [name]Theodore Rhys[/name]
I hope this helps!
I like those combos they have a classic feel. I also had not considered pairing [name]June[/name] with [name]Penelope[/name]. We originally had [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]June[/name] picked out which looks lovely but we decided to go with the [name]Elinor[/name] spelling instead and it doesn’t look quite as pretty but [name]Elinor[/name] [name]Kate[/name] is quite nice as is [name]Penelope[/name] [name]June[/name]. Something to think about!
Thanks so much for the input. DH and I talked and the names are:
[name]Lilla[/name] [name]Clare[/name], [name]Vivienne[/name] [name]Grace[/name], [name]Elinor[/name] [name]June[/name], [name]Penelope[/name] [name]Kate[/name], [name]Rufus[/name] [name]Graham[/name], [name]Jasper[/name] [name]Rhys[/name] and [name]Simon[/name] [name]Jules[/name]
We love [name]Elinor[/name] [name]June[/name] while [name]Jane[/name] [name]Austin[/name] used both spellings we like how this one reflects the way we pronounce it
We really want to like [name]Felicity[/name], it fits with our girls names so well but it is just to hissy
We keep coming back to [name]Penelope[/name], I just swoon everytime I see it. Also over the years we have always paired a name ending in the ee sound with [name]Kate[/name], we just like the combo.
We understand that [name]Rufus[/name] is not for everyone but we both love it. My husband [name]Ross[/name] comes from a long line of [name]Ralph[/name]'s and we wanted to use a name that started with R to honor that.
[name]Rupert[/name] was just a tad to serious next to [name]Rufus[/name] and decidedly more british.
[name]Jasper[/name] plays off of [name]Rufus[/name] nicely. I feely like it is a very catish name while [name]Rufus[/name] is very doggie
[name]Oliver[/name] was just too popular
[name]Simon[/name] just seemed to fit and we are very happy.
Thanks again your question and thoughts help us really see what we liked about each name or what we didn’t
