Sibling for Henry?

13 replies

louloutheshamed · 01/01/2013 21:52

We did like Harriet if ds had been a girl but think it is too similar. Also like Jemima and Louisa for girls and Oscar, Arthur and Rory for boys.

Any other ideas?

James is ds middle name.

Catherine would be middle name for girl.

Edward, Annie ruled out due to friends/family.

Like William but would William and Henry be too royal??

I think William and Henry complement each other well. The fact is that if you like "traditional" names (and I do) then the chances are they will have been used by the royal family at some point as they also use traditional names.

The Royals have used James, William, Henry, Victoria, Elizabeth, Charles, Catherine, etc etc which all 'go' well with henry as they are names in the same vein.

George is a good name, as is Arthur. For girls, I think Annie or Martha. Just don't end up having an Arthur and a Martha, LOL

Yes, love Arthur and George.

Still struggling with girls names. Many of the ones I like are already taken by friends and family eg Charlotte, Matilda, Florence, Phoebe, Eve,

What do you think of Jemima and Louisa? I also love Genevieve and Clementine but dh does not and says we aren't posh enough!
