Hey! We are currently 32+6 with our second. We are really struggling for names. We don't know gender.
Our son is called Edward. Our son came early and was baby no name for 3 weeks, and it was a nightmare with people continually asking what baby is called, and we only agreed on that because it was the only name both of us were ok with.I would like to be a little bit more organised this time and have a name we both like without settling.
Please give me your opinions on our shortlist and any suggestions you may have
GIRLS - middle names Sylvia Rose or Elizabeth Anne
Alice
Beatrice
Francesca
Katie
Emily

BOYS - middle names Stephen George or Stephen Charles
Robin
Tobias/Toby
Rory
Felix
Hugo

TIA hopefully this baby can have a name in a couple of days :) sprout is loosing its appeal Wink

Screw MIL, Francis would fit really well with Edward. I'd choose that one if it were me.

Anne is nice

I love Beatrice Elizabeth Anne her initials would spell Bea and it would be a nice nick name he won't agree to that and says Sylvia rose for middle names if we picked Beatrice
We love Alexandra/Alexander but both in immediate family as is Christopher and Charlotte

Our list included all the ones on your girls list plus;
Alexandra
Rebecca
Frances
Charlotte

Boys names I like include;
Christopher
Daniel
Thomas
Samuel

We ended up using Elizabeth as a first name as it was the only one we could agree on, I’m still bitter that he wouldn’t let me use Beatrice!

I love Anne and Katie both would go nicely with Edward.
Also like Rory and Hugo. Would also suggest Francis and Joseph.
