Sister for Rupert and Grace

Name changed so I can't be outed!

I can't find a girls name I like. I find boys names much easier. Currently pregnant but not due until February so a bit of time.

Will be sibling to Rupert and Grace. Has cousins Alice, Phoebe and George which are names I like but can't obviously can't use.

If it is a boy we will go for Oscar James. Other names we liked were Finn, Ben, Theo and Felix.

That should give you a good idea of our taste. We don't like anything too unusual. I prefer short, classical names. I don't like shortening names to nicknames, I'd rather go with the shorter version. We aren't posh but live in a nice rural village in Surrey.

Please don't out me if you recognise me!

Please don't be offended, the following are names we've discarded and why:

Emily, Lucy, Sophie, Kate, Chloe - bit boring

Charlotte, Henrietta, Tabitha, Beatrice too long.

Poppy, Lily, Daisy - not keen on flower names.

Thea - really like but feels incomplete.

We're not going to find a name we like are we?

I quite like Jane!

Maybe reconsider Elsa if you like it? It was still only 104th most popular name last year so not gone crazy popular. Frozen will be long forgotten in a couple years time.

Good luck! I was tearing my hair out deciding on names for my third Smile

Glad someone suggested Hebe. Why does nobody use this name? Can't be shortened and I think it goes well with Grace.
Rosie instead of Rose?
Fleur...pretty and one syllable ?

Sorry haven't read the thread, I just love Rupert, it's the best name and not at all popular, shame that grace is so overused, although it's a nice name.
I think it needs something just as rarely used to go with it, and similar "poshness" !

I'd pick: florence or Frances
Sorry if you've had them suggested, I'd love to hear your decision! I've never met a Rupert ! It's lovely :)

Another vote for Fiona ... I think it's lovely but I am biased!
