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

Thanks Susannach we have a Theodore as a nephew otherwise I’d def consider that. I like Sidney and Stanley but unsure if I’m brave enough / would prefer to stick with slightly more classic.

Thanks for the girl suggestions too. It’s so good to get opinions!

My first thought randomly was “Arthur” nicknamed “Artie” but perhaps that’s too close with Bert/Bertie

Wizzybee really helpful advice thank you - totally get how annoying that would be

Be careful of Louis....

My son is Louis which I decided should be pronounced 'Loo-is'. If people don't know and they read his name they call him 'Loo-ee', but birthday and Xmas cards are invariably addressed to 'Lewis'. This all bugs him no end.

I’m not mad keen on your girls’ names but Margot is def my favourite. Maybe Beatrice, Clara, Claudia, Mabel or Rosamund?

I love your boys’ names! Henry is probably my fave. How about Rufus, Rupert, Theodore, Lucian, Sidney, Stanley, Magnus or Wilbur?

I’d choose Henry and Margot out of your list

I think Eleanor sounds lovely but that wasn’t on your list
