Not sure whether we're having a boy or a girl yet, but we've narrowed the choices down to two for a boy and three for a girl.

Boys (middle name will be Peter or Charles)

Alfred (Alf)
Joseph (Joe)

Girls (middle name will be Rose)

Ariadne (Addie)
Betty
Edith (Edie)

Which of these do you like best? (If any Wink). Also happy to hear any similar suggestions.

Thank you

Joseph (Joe) and Edie Rose. Not so keen on Edith but Edie is lovely. I think Rose is a gorgeous name!

DuggeeHugs · 14/10/2017 23:23

Joseph Charles and Edith Rose

AnyaMoondial · 14/10/2017 20:02

Joseph and Edith are terrific.

MikeUniformMike · 14/10/2017 19:21

Don't like Alfred.

KoalaD · 14/10/2017 16:59

Joseph Charles

Ariadne Rose

mum2be2boys · 14/10/2017 16:57

I like all of your choices! My favourites are Joseph Charles and Edith Rose :-)

Joseph
Edie Rose

Liadain · 14/10/2017 13:58

Joseph Peter and Ariadne Rose. I really dislike Betty and Edith. Agreed though that Ariane is much better than Ariadne!

jay95 · 14/10/2017 13:58

Joseph
Edie Rose

daisypond · 14/10/2017 13:56

Is Ariane any good? Very similar to Ariadne but without the tragic Greek vibe.

Threeandabit · 14/10/2017 13:43

Joseph

I like Betty and Edith. I also like the name Carrie

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 14/10/2017 13:39

Love Joe.

Not keen on the girls.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 14/10/2017 13:39

Adeline Rose is also lovely.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 14/10/2017 13:38

Joseph Peter
Ariadne Rose, love Addie !

ZuzuMyLittleGingersnap · 14/10/2017 12:47

Joseph Charles
Edith Rose

MadameJosephine · 14/10/2017 12:37

Joseph Charles
Ariadne rose

welshweasel · 14/10/2017 12:36

Absolutely love Ariadne. Don't like rose as a middle name.

BroomstickOfLove · 14/10/2017 12:36

Edith for a girl. I think Ariadne Rose has too many Rs.

bridgetreilly · 14/10/2017 12:34

Definitely Joseph (Joe).

In order, I like:
Edith (Edie)
Betty
Ariadne (really don't like this at all).

NameChange30 · 14/10/2017 12:33

Joseph and Elizabeth

Prefer Fred to Alf as a nickname for Alfred

Like unusual names but not a fan of Ariadne

Edith/Edie is a bit meh and too popular

Betty Rose sounds like a vintage clothing brand
