We’re having a boy and a girl... Yay!! We’ve ‘paired up’ a few names and would love to know your favourites, as you’ve been such a big help so far... Which is your fave boy’s name and girl’s to go with it? Thanks!

B: Dominic
G: Elodie, Florence, Imogen, Margot*, Penelope or Phoebe

B: Elias
G: Beatrix, Cecily, Felicity, Florence, Imogen, Margot, Penelope or Phoebe*

B: Elijah
G: Beatrix, Cecily, Felicity, Florence, Frances, Imogen, Margot, Penelope or Phoebe*

B: Sebastian
G: Beatrix, Cecily, Edith, Elodie, Felicity, Florence, Frances, Margot*, Penelope or Phoebe

B: Zachary
G: Beatrix*, Edith, Emmeline, Florence, Frances or Margot

*Too much with an older brother, Theo? I guess they would be Margot & Theodore officially, NNs Mari, Maggie, etc & Theo so is it not that bad? I think Maggie may be a stretch as a NN though? We’ve been trying to think of what possible shortened forms can come from the names we like and not getting much with Margot.

**Too many ee sounds together?

Elijah and Cecily.

Thanks for your opinions so far! T goes by Theo 99% of the time which is what is worrying me with Margot despite loving the name so much. His name was more a compromise between DH and I (I wanted the longer name where as he wanted just Theo so we gave it it on his BC but call him Theo) where as the girls flip flop between their full name and NNs.

Elijah and Beatrix

Sebastian for a bit and Margot for a girl.

Sebastian and Penelope- love that!

Cbeebiesrehab · 29/09/2018 11:19

Elijah and Elias are my favourite nn Eli.
I think Florence, Imogen and Phoebe are too popular to go with your other names, I like Felicity but don’t like Flick/Floss. Margot is a bit too close to Theo for me. I like Penelope but only because I like the nn Nell...not a massive fan of Penny really. Cecily and Beatrix are ok but my favourite of all your girls names is Elodie.

Sebastian and Penelope. Congratulations!

Congratulations! Dominic and Imogen are my favourite.

... just seen your last post. Sebastian and Felicity fit brilliantly with Aurora and Violet too.

finallychangedmyusername · 29/09/2018 11:08

I like a lot of your names (and congratulations!) With big brother Theodore I'd go for Sebastian and Felicity. To me they 'fit' together without being matchy-matchy.

Sisters are Aurora (Rora) and Violet (Letty) Thanks!
