Sixth and Final

Name Advice
1

We’re naming our last child and need some help! We have three girls and two boys. We’re not planning to learn baby’s gender till baby is born.

Our girls are [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] (Lulu), [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] (Millie), and [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] (Georgie). Boys are [name_u]James[/name_u] (Jack), and [name_m]Harrison[/name_m] (Harry).

Help us brainstorm! We like nickname potential, classic, and our girl names all have ended in -a so far.

We like:

[name_f]Clara[/name_f] — nn?
[name_f]Philippa[/name_f] — [name_f]Pippa[/name_f] (too bold for me — scared!)
[name_f]Martha[/name_f] — nn?
[name_f]Henrietta[/name_f] — Etta/Ettie
[name_f]Ada[/name_f]
[name_f]Sienna[/name_f]
[name_f]Theodora[/name_f] — [name_u]Teddie[/name_u] (we have a cousin [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] nn [name_u]Teddy[/name_u], so nervous to use, but love otherwise)

[name_u]Wesley[/name_u] — [name_m]Wes[/name_m]
[name_u]Finnegan[/name_u] — [name_u]Finn[/name_u]
[name_u]August[/name_u] — Auggie/Goose

I’m honestly not in love with anything! Convince me of something beautiful :joy:

I like [name_f]Theodora[/name_f] nn [name_f]Thea[/name_f]!
[name_f]Henrietta[/name_f] nn [name_f]Etta[/name_f] or [name_f]Hattie[/name_f] is great too. [name_u]Finnegan[/name_u] nn [name_u]Finn[/name_u] is my favorite with your kids names.

How about:
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] nn [name_u]Coco[/name_u]
[name_f]Veronica[/name_f] nn [name_f]Nika[/name_f] or [name_u]Ronnie[/name_u]
[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] nn [name_f]Ada[/name_f]
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] nn [name_u]Josie[/name_u]
[name_f]Juliana[/name_f] nn [name_u]Jules[/name_u]
[name_f]Teresa[/name_f] nn [name_f]Tessa[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleanore[/name_f] n [name_f]Ella[/name_f]
[name_f]Danica[/name_f] nn [name_u]Dani[/name_u] or [name_f]Nica[/name_f]

[name_u]Leland[/name_u] nn [name_u]Lee[/name_u]
[name_m]Roman[/name_m] nn [name_u]Rome[/name_u]
[name_u]Riley[/name_u] nn [name_m]Ry[/name_m]
[name_m]Quintin[/name_m] nn [name_u]Quinn[/name_u]

Congratulations on baby #6 :tada:

You have such a lovely selection of names I really love [name_f]Clara[/name_f], [name_f]Martha[/name_f], [name_f]Henrietta[/name_f], [name_f]Ada[/name_f] and [name_f]Theodora[/name_f].

Looking at this selection of names I really think [name_f]Martha[/name_f] and [name_f]Ada[/name_f] sound fabulous with your kiddos whilst seeming flawless for you with your criteria.

You’ve had lots of lovely suggestions from this berry @Victory55 so count any repeats as me being in agreement with them

[name_f]Louisa[/name_f], [name_f]Emilia[/name_f], [name_f]Georgia[/name_f], [name_u]James[/name_u], [name_m]Harrison[/name_m] and…

[name_f]Carolina[/name_f]
[name_f]Francesca[/name_f]
[name_f]Allegra[/name_f]
[name_f]Cornelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Alexandra[/name_f]
[name_f]Mara[/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Sophia[/name_f]
[name_f]Victoria[/name_f]
[name_f]Antonia[/name_f]
[name_f]Ramona[/name_f]
[name_f]Clarissa[/name_f]
[name_f]Marina[/name_f]
[name_f]Serena[/name_f]
[name_f]Tabitha[/name_f]
[name_f]Natasha[/name_f]
[name_f]Bella[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosanna[/name_f]

Looking at your boys names I love [name_u]Finnegan[/name_u] & [name_u]August[/name_u] however I think [name_u]August[/name_u] is the best fit. He’s handsome, feels outdoorsy and provides his own individual ending like your other boy names. [name_f]My[/name_f] favourite nickname is [name_m]Auggie[/name_m] he’s very fun.

[name_m]Finnick[/name_m]
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]
[name_u]Elijah[/name_u]
[name_m]Thomas[/name_m]
[name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m]
[name_m]Otis[/name_m]
[name_u]Dean[/name_u]
[name_m]Calvin[/name_m]
[name_m]Reuben[/name_m]
[name_u]Callum[/name_u]
[name_u]Jasper[/name_u]
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m]
[name_m]Solomon[/name_m]
[name_m]Nathanael[/name_m]
[name_m]Ambrose[/name_m]
[name_u]Montgomery[/name_u]
[name_u]Calloway[/name_u]
[name_m]Wells[/name_m]
[name_m]Samuel[/name_m]

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps

I think [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] would fit very well. Nicknames [name_f]Nora[/name_f], [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], or my favourite - [name_f]Nell[/name_f].

[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_u]August[/name_u]. How about [name_f]Isadora[/name_f] for a girl?

6

I actually think [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] fits the best with the sibset…but that’s just my opinion. Don’t be scared of it! It’s a lovely, underused name! [name_f]Pippa[/name_f] rounds off [name_f]Lulu[/name_f], [name_f]Millie[/name_f], and [name_u]Georgie[/name_u] SO well!

If it’s a girl and you’re still scared of [name_f]Philippa[/name_f], I would go with [name_f]Clara[/name_f]. Both are not overused but go well with the others and match the others’ classic yet not stuffy vibes!

If a boy, I think [name_u]Finnegan[/name_u] goes the best with the rest of the names. [name_u]Wesley[/name_u] would be my second choice!

Hopefully this helps! Please don’t be scared of [name_f]Philippa[/name_f]! It’s gorgeous and cute when shortened!

[name_f]Eleanora[/name_f] might be a good option for a girl name! Soo many nickname options, all are good, so I’d want to use all of them :sweat_smile: [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], [name_f]Ella[/name_f], [name_f]Elle[/name_f], [name_f]Nora[/name_f], [name_u]Nori[/name_u], etc. I also think [name_f]Phillipa[/name_f] nn [name_f]Pippa[/name_f] works well if you feel brave enough :blush:

[name_f]Phillipa[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleanora[/name_f]
[name_f]Lilia[/name_f]

[name_f]Clara[/name_f] (Cece? [name_f]Clary[/name_f]? Kit?)
[name_u]Wesley[/name_u]

With [name_f]Emilia[/name_f], [name_f]Louisa[/name_f], [name_f]Georgia[/name_f], [name_u]James[/name_u], and [name_m]Harrison[/name_m], I’d suggest:

What lovely names! I also love how you have a nn for all your kiddos, so sweet!

[name_f]My[/name_f] opinions:
I think [name_f]Theodora[/name_f] goes so well with you current kiddos. Have you though of nn’s [name_f]Thea[/name_f], [name_f]Dori[/name_f], [name_f]Dora[/name_f], [name_u]Theo[/name_u] if you’re a little nervous about [name_u]Teddie[/name_u]? [name_f]My[/name_f] second vote is [name_f]Henrietta[/name_f]

I am such a fan of Finnegan/Finn, but all your boys names are lovely. I think the youngest of your family being called [name_m]Goose[/name_m] is the sweetest thing.

Have fun and good luck!

Congratulations on the final addition!! Your children have such lovely names. I really like [name_f]Clara[/name_f] (Carrie? [name_f]Laura[/name_f]? Laurie?), [name_f]Ada[/name_f], and [name_f]Theodora[/name_f] (Teddie is so sweet) and [name_u]Finnegan[/name_u] from your list!!

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

Your kids’ names are wonderful!

Here are my thoughts for number six-

Girls:

Clara-I think it’s just beautiful & sweet & classic. But if you really need a nn (maybe it’d feel weird if she didn’t have one) I think that any [name_f]Clara[/name_f] nn would feel kind of forced.

Philippa/Pippa-I don’t know; it’s cute & really does fit in quite well. I find it hard to say though! Is it Phil-ip-uh or Phillip-uh? Not my favorite.

Martha-It’s honestly not my favorite name in general, but it’s pretty adorable with your crew. It’s unexpected and old fashioned. I really like the nn [name_f]Molly[/name_f] here, but maybe that’s too close to [name_f]Millie[/name_f]. Is [name_f]Maisy[/name_f] too close? I love [name_f]Maisy[/name_f]!

Henrietta/Etta/Ettie-Same here as for Martha; not usually my thing, but I love it in theory & love that it’s vintage & unique. I don’t love that it’s too close to [name_m]Harrison[/name_m] though. Also, I like the nn [name_f]Hattie[/name_f]!

Ada-Really cute & works well, but too nick-name-less.

Sienna-This one doesn’t do it for me. Feels way too modern.

Theodora/Teddie-So lovely. You could always do the nn [name_f]Thea[/name_f] instead?

A few more ideas that you may like-

[name_f]Dorothea[/name_f]! I like this even more than [name_f]Theodora[/name_f] & it wouldn’t be too close to [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]. I love [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] nn [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: :heart_eyes:

[name_f]Mirabella[/name_f] nn [name_f]Mira[/name_f] or [name_f]Miri[/name_f]

Susanna-I love this for you and it is full of great nns; [name_f]Sadie[/name_f], [name_f]Sally[/name_f], [name_f]Anna[/name_f], [name_f]Annie[/name_f] or [name_u]Scout[/name_u]!

Sylvia/Sylvie

Tessa/Tess

Virginia/Vivie/Ginny

Wilhelmina-Winnie (I love Winnie!) [name_f]Willa[/name_f], [name_u]Mina[/name_u], [name_f]Minnie[/name_f] (maybe too close to Millie.)

Boys:

Wesley/Wes-I think it’s charming & handsome & a little posh in a cute way. Goes great with your crew.

Finnegan/Finn-Love this one! I love [name_m]Finnian[/name_m] too, but either way. So so cute.

August/Auggie/Goose-August is really handsome. It has a nature vibe but it also kind of rugged. I like the nn [name_m]Auggie[/name_m] (but prefer Augie) and [name_u]Gus[/name_u], but not really [name_m]Goose[/name_m].

A few boys ideas-

Adrian/Ace

Albert/Albie/Bertie/Ace

Alfred/Alfie/Fred/Freddie/Ace

Desmond/Dex

Nolan/Nollie

Peter/Pip/Patch

Rafael/Rafe

Rafferty/Rafe

Samuel/Sam

Sullivan/Sully

Thomas/Tucker

William/Win/Witt/Liam/Billy/Wiley

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps. :slight_smile:

I would go [name_f]Martha[/name_f] nn [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] - or [name_f]Martie[/name_f] or [name_f]May[/name_f]? - or else [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] - nn [name_f]Pippa[/name_f], [name_u]Pip[/name_u] or [name_f]Pippi[/name_f]. I am leaning towards [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] with your others because [name_f]Martha[/name_f] might be too vintage. I wouldn’t be scared - I know several adult Pips/Pippis and my cousin just named her baby [name_f]Philippa[/name_f].

Otherwise: [name_f]Louisa[/name_f], [name_f]Emilia[/name_f], [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] &

[name_f]Anna[/name_f] nn [name_f]Annie[/name_f]
[name_f]Stella[/name_f] nn Stell, [name_f]Star[/name_f]
[name_f]Arabella[/name_f] nn [name_f]Bella[/name_f]
[name_f]Susannah[/name_f] nn [name_u]Sunny[/name_u], [name_f]Suki[/name_f], [name_f]Sassy[/name_f]
[name_f]Helena[/name_f] nn [name_f]Leni[/name_f]
[name_f]Sophia[/name_f] nn Phia
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] nn Lyddie
[name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] nn [name_f]Sera[/name_f], Phina, Raffie
[name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] nn [name_f]Thea[/name_f]

I like [name_u]Wesley[/name_u] the best of your boys. [name_u]Finnegan[/name_u] seems too close to [name_m]Harrison[/name_m] in rhythm and I don’t love [name_u]Finn[/name_u] (I know many do!). I like [name_u]August[/name_u] and it is a smart name, but not keen on its nicknames. It’s also a little more hip/retro than [name_u]James[/name_u] and [name_m]Harrison[/name_m]. If not [name_u]Wesley[/name_u], then [name_u]August[/name_u].

How about, [name_u]James[/name_u], [name_m]Harrison[/name_m] &

[name_m]Thomas[/name_m]
Benjamin/Benedict
[name_m]Rupert[/name_m]
[name_u]Darcy[/name_u]
[name_m]Frederick[/name_m] nn [name_u]Freddie[/name_u]
[name_m]Tobias[/name_m] nn [name_u]Toby[/name_u]
[name_m]Phillip[/name_m] nn [name_u]Pip[/name_u]
[name_m]Christopher[/name_m] nn Kit/ [name_u]Christo[/name_u]
[name_m]Alexander[/name_m] nn [name_m]Xander[/name_m] or [name_u]Sasha[/name_u]
[name_u]Spencer[/name_u]

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] that helps! :sparkles:

15

[name_f]Clara[/name_f] nn [name_u]Clare[/name_u], [name_u]Ara[/name_u], or [name_u]Ari[/name_u]. [name_u]Ari[/name_u] is a bit of a stretch but I like it!

[name_f]Martha[/name_f] could be [name_u]Mars[/name_u], [name_u]Marty[/name_u], [name_m]Art[/name_m], [name_u]Artie[/name_u], or [name_f]May[/name_f]

16

[name_f]Martha[/name_f] & Phillippa are my favorites for girls, [name_u]Wesley[/name_u] is my favorite for a boy. [name_f]Martha[/name_f] could be NN [name_f]Mari[/name_f]

17

Your kids’ names are great!

I love [name_f]Philipa[/name_f] NN [name_f]Pippa[/name_f] in your set! Don’t be scared! Go for it! I also love the suggestion of [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f] (I’d go with [name_f]Nell[/name_f] NN) and [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] (I’d go with Dot/Dottie). Those are excellent! [name_u]August[/name_u] (Gus) and [name_u]Wesley[/name_u] (Wes) are also really good!

18

Congrats on #6! I feel like if you’ve given 5 kids their own distinct first initial- #6 should too! I love [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] & [name_u]Wesley[/name_u] so much anyway- perfect for your set! Good luck
