A brother for Elodie?

59 replies

Chocolateporridge · 28/07/2014 10:57

We chose Elodie because we thought it was really pretty and uncommon where we live, and because we loved it as soon as we heard it, not because it was French, and now we've found out our next dc is a boy we're a bit stumped! There's no name that totally jumps out at us as "the one" like Elodie's did and our long term favourite boys name was taken by a very close friend!

We quite like the idea of a Biblical name or another French name, but we have a double barrelled surname so don't want anything too pretentious.

Any suggestions?!

Elodie and Simon

Chocolateporridge · 09/10/2014 22:40

Aaargh, 8 weeks to go and I'm still no further forward! Reuben is sort of my favourite but still doesn't grab me like my dd's name did!

Any more suggestions?

My neighbour had an Elodie and the little brother was Alex.

temporaryusername · 28/07/2014 23:33

Sorry no fab ideas for names to go with it, but Elodie is lovely!

What about Eden.

Eden and Elodie?

There is a dc with this name at DS school.

James is one of my favourites but it's also my brother's name, I don't think he needs his ego boosting further Wink. It's so weird, but Elijah and Elisha are also two that I like but dh is determined not to have another name beginning with "E" as we already have a few in our family.

It's reassuring to know that other mumsnetters automatically came up with the same combinations as I did! Any other suggestions?

Elijah/Eliah sounds great with Elodie to my mind;-)

I like Patrick and think Pat for a little boy is very sweet.

Conrad - unusual but not unheard of.
