I’m expecting our third baby, early days and so don’t know the gender but I can’t help but think about names!
I already have a Rafe and a Milo. I have a couple of names from old lists that I like/am unsure on - interested to know if anyone has any other names to suggest along similar lines? I don’t really want anything super popular/traditional.

So far I have
Boys
Otis
Rudy - had this on my list last time around but really not sure
Girls
Clementine - love
Iris - think I love

Thanks Smile

I don't think you even need suggestions, these names you've chosen are solid.

Sungura · 21/10/2018 06:55

I think Iris works better with your doc's names than does Clementine, although Clementine is the prettier name. With Otis and Rudy it's a toss up. Either works very well.

I love Otis and Iris.

I’m not keen on Rudy at all, I just think of “rude”.

How about

I love Rudy. It was on the shortlist for my boy twin.

Ipanema01 · 19/10/2018 14:22

Thanks so much for the suggestions, nothing is really grabbing me Hmm
I think I’m swinging more towards Otis, I’m not sure if Rudy could potentially sound a bit chavvy?

I love Iris and also like Clementine.

Rudy is okay but it sounds like a nickname to me. I don't like Otis at all.

All 4 go well with Rafe and Milo though.

Otis is cool.

How about Zoe?

Ipanema01 · 17/10/2018 11:32

Thanks all for your suggestions 😊
I quite like Thea, also like Luna thought it’s ruled out as a close relative is having something very similar.

I like Rudy out of the boys' names, but only if short for Rudolph.
I like Clementine and Iris, but I prefer Iris.
