Sebastian & ?

We’ve pretty much decided on Sebastian for our boy, although Elijah & Zachary aren’t 100% out of the equation yet.

Which name do you think fits best for his twin sister: Beatrix, Cecily or Penelope? We are still discussing Edith, Frances, Margot & something a little more ‘unusual’ - Hermione, too.

We aren’t wanting anything matchy which is why these are looking likely to be our top picks (Sebastian, Beatrix, Cecily & Penelope) but nothing is set in stone yet.

Older siblings are Aurora, Violet & Theo(dore - but is always Theo) Thanks!

I love Cecily, Beatrix is ok (though I prefer Beatrice):

I have an irrational hatred of Penelope though. It just really grates with me.

Beatrix gets my vote, like Edith too

I like Beatrix best. I love Elijah and Beatrix but Sebastian is nice too and goes well with your other children's names.

Penelope! Love this name. I really like Hermione too actually.

Francesca was on our list when we first started discussing names, @Frouby - it’s beautiful!

We do love Hermione but I worry with an Aurora, if it just looks like we name our children after things we’re fans of? 😂 We’re not fans of Harry Potter - in fact, I find it incredibly over rated (sorry HP fans lol) and just love the name in it’s own right just like Aurora. Having Aurora though, I know that most people’s first association is Disney and Harry Potter will probably be with Hermione.

I have a Francesca and Sebastian. Not twins tho. But I think they go lovely together.

Out of your list I like Beatrix the best.

I'd go with Penelope out of your solid choices, although Hermione is lovely if in the equation!
