Already have a Lily, now need help from the good people of mumsnet choosing a name for her brother/sister!

I don't want another flower name, or anything that rhymes with Lily i.e Tilly or Billy. But apart from that am open minded!

Names I like:

Girl:
Frances
Olivia
Lyra
Annie
Charlotte

Boy:
Henry
Harry
George
Oliver
Isaac

Thanks guys Smile

Lili and dyl always get muddled.

Oscar and Annie.

Lily and Freddie has a nice ring to it....

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 07/05/2016 10:42

Oscar is nice.

Lily and Oliver are fine. But Lily and Ollie are quite similar and a bit of a tongue twister.

You obviously like the letter L OP.

Dylan? A bit lil n dyl though.

Finn. Freddie. Alfie

Good point about Lottie/Livy/Lyra, I hadn't thought of that.

Thank you all, have some chocolate: Chocolate

There's something about how the stress falls that makes Oliver sound better than Olivia with Lily.

BlueChampagne · 07/05/2016 08:53

Frances or Oliver

septembersunshine · 07/05/2016 08:32

Charlotte might turn into Lottie so you might have a Lily and Lottie - would that be ok with you? I think it's quite sweet.

I would pick Annie but have Annabel/Annabella as a longer version, something for her to grow into and she may want to be called Anna or Belle more then Annie when she knows her own mind. I love Harry and Oliver from your boys list. Both would go very nicely I think. All great names I think :)

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 07/05/2016 07:13

I wouldn't chose Olivia. - Lily and Livy

William
Benedict
Zachary
James

Francesca
Annabel
Amelia
Arabella

Flowerpower14 · 07/05/2016 07:09

I think Oliva and Henry. X

AGnu · 07/05/2016 01:47

Milo or Miles?

Quasilulu · 07/05/2016 01:43

Annie and Isaac would be my pick.

CharlieJamie · 07/05/2016 00:23

Olivia or Oliver/Isaac

MsMarvel · 06/05/2016 23:53

Delilah would be nice for a girl, Oscar for a boy.

Like all your ideas as well, not sure about lyra with lilly though, saying them both quickly together sounds a bit like a tongue twister.
