We are expecting baby #3 and will find out the gender in a couple of weeks. We have several names we agree on for boys but none for a girl. I am absolutely in love with [name_f]Minnie[/name_f] but my partner isn’t fond of it at all. He likes more popular names like [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Ava[/name_f], and [name_f]Imogen[/name_f]. We also have a middle name dilemma. If it’s a boy, he will have his father and grandfather’s middle name- [name_m]Knight[/name_m]. If it’s a girl, I have always said her middle name would be [name_u]Jude[/name_u], as a nod to my late grandmother. However, as we plan on this baby being our last, my partner wants to give a girl both [name_m]Knight[/name_m] and [name_u]Jude[/name_u] as middle names- which I am really not keen on and am struggling to work out a compromise. They are both quite masculine and it feels all a bit of a mouthful.
Our older boys are [name_m]Edison[/name_m] Brave and [name_u]Spencer[/name_u] [name_m]Ace[/name_m].
Any help would be really appreciated!
Aw I really like [name_f]Minnie[/name_f] and it would sound lovely with either mn [name_f]Minnie[/name_f] [name_m]Knight[/name_m], [name_f]Minnie[/name_f] [name_u]Jude[/name_u]. Is him picking the mn and u the fn an option? I love [name_f]Minnie[/name_f] [name_m]Knight[/name_m].
Some suggestions for other first names…
[name_f]Dottie[/name_f]
[name_f]Lula[/name_f]
[name_f]Millie[/name_f]
[name_f]Maisie[/name_f]
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Annie[/name_f]
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f]
[name_f]Lola[/name_f]
If [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] is popular, you can’t be in the U.S. - it’s never ever been in the top 1000 here! I think it’s beautiful and Shakespearian. [name_m]Just[/name_m] free-associating from the names you both like:
What about [name_f]Amelia[/name_f]? I know it’s really popular but you can use [name_f]Minnie[/name_f] as a nickname. I believe [name_f]Minnie[/name_f] [name_m]Driver[/name_m]'s birth name is [name_f]Amelia[/name_f].
I think all of these options all actually sound really nice and work well with your boys’ names.
Any chance he would like [name_f]Minnie[/name_f] as a nn for another name?
[name_f]Amina[/name_f]
[name_f]Hermione[/name_f]

I like [name_f]Minnie[/name_f] [name_m]Knight[/name_m] the best.
Double middle names aren’t too big a deal as it is just another initial at the end of the day. Easy to please everyone.
[name_f]Minnie[/name_f] KJ [name_m]Smith[/name_m]
[name_f]Minnie[/name_f] K [name_m]Smith[/name_m]
I agree that [name_m]Knight[/name_m] and [name_u]Jude[/name_u] don’t flow that well as double middles. It seems like he already had two chances to use [name_m]Knight[/name_m] on your two sons, so it can’t really be that important to him? Though I’ll admit [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_m]Knight[/name_m] is cute. Would you consider [name_f]Judith[/name_f] [name_m]Knight[/name_m] nn [name_u]Jude[/name_u]?
I love the name [name_f]Antonia[/name_f]. Name your baby that if it’s a girl. [name_f]Antonia[/name_f] means ‘priceless’. It’s so graceful. It reminds me of peace, happiness and of a girl with a big heart. It’s so beautiful and stronger than other feminised boys names. It’s my favourite name and i wish it was my name. Everyone i know loves this name.I can honestly say i have never come across anyone who does not like it.
