Albert, Florence and ...??

Hello! I’m hoping for some help with baby name #3, gender unknown, please.

We have Albert George Alexander (Bert/Bertie) and Florence Betsy Alexandra (Florrie), and are thinking:

Margot (Maggie); Ruby; or Nancy for girl

Henry; Wilfred (Fred); or Louis for boy.

It’s boys in particular we are struggling with as none of those float my boat as much as Albert did so I’m finding it impossible to decide.

Thoughts / opinions / alternative suggestions really welcome!

Thanks so much

Ivy. The names of my ex’s grandfather and two great aunts.

How about Rex for a boy and Beatrice (nn Bea) for a girl?

NewModelArmyMayhem18 · 09/03/2019 17:54

Is Margot really in keeping with Florence and Albert though?

Sophronia · 09/03/2019 17:04

Margot and Wilfred

RoseMartha · 09/03/2019 16:45

Wilfred or Ruby

Or

Eleanor or Beatrice or Katherine
Edward or Lawrence or Lysander

Clankboing · 09/03/2019 16:41

What about Edward nn Ted? I feel like it would go with your older siblings names.

800msprint · 09/03/2019 16:32

Margot and any out of the boys

WitchesGlove · 09/03/2019 16:23

Valentina, Alexandra, Magdalena for a girl

Victor, Ernest, Theodore, Gabriel for a boy

SweetButaPsycho · 09/03/2019 16:16

Henry and Ruby are my favourites from your list

PlasticPatty · 09/03/2019 16:05

Zebedee. Got to be.
Ermintrude.
Rusty. That could be male or female.

ncqtime · 09/03/2019 16:04

Nancy was my first thought

123Flopsy · 09/03/2019 16:02

Maggie is nice but I much prefer Margaret or Margherita.

How about Vincent or Quentin?

TheMuminator2 · 09/03/2019 15:25

The Machine? sorry

Arpafeelie · 09/03/2019 14:40

Love Margot (Maggie). As your other two have long names with short forms, I'd stick with that and not use Ruby or Nancy. How about Harriet (Hattie or Hetty)?

SamStephens · 09/03/2019 12:45

I also like Henry as it’s a family name of mine but we nickname “Hank” - sadly I’ll never use it due to drama with my brother and an exGF

Wilfred and Ruby sound good with your other names.
Definitely not Margot. It's 80s middle-aged want to be posh woman with her hostess trolley and vol-au-vents. Horrible.

NewModelArmyMayhem18 · 09/03/2019 11:16

Frederick
Edward
David

Ivy

Mary

Thank you - not sure I could risk Bert & Ernie... (Sesame Street)! A good friend has Edgar and I’m not keen on Hector but good suggestions Smile

Ernest, Edgar or Hector?

NewModelArmyMayhem18 · 09/03/2019 10:11

I'd say Ruby and Wilfred to fit in best with the 'feel' of your other DC's names.

MrsJamieFraser2 · 09/03/2019 10:10

Genevieve?

Yes I love Arthur but think we need to move away from “A” and probably too similar too!

Adelaide for a girl
