So, we already have a James and we don't know if he is going to have a brother or sister. These are the 3 names we've shortlisted. 2 girls and 1 boys name. Which of these girls names do you think sounds better?

James and Eleanor or James and Matilda. Our boys name is Christopher, wish we had a second option for boys names too but could not agree on anything. If we like Christopher, what else might we like?

Thanks for the help ladies :-)

Eleanor is lovely, or Ellen.

What about Christian ?

Love Matilda Smile

Haven't heard of any other girls with that name either recently

Matthew? I like both girls names but I think Eleanor sounds nicer with James.

joshua
Joseph
Stephen.

matilda of the girls names.

How about Tristan?

I like the shortened versions less than the full name, but would probably be Tilda or Ella if we did shorten it. I really do like Thomas and David but close family members already have boys with those names sadly.

Will you shorten the girls names at all? Ellie or Tillie?
Christopher is quite a traditional name. Perhaps you would like others like Andrew, Thomas, David etc?
