Boy/girl twins. What goes with....

Max.

We thought we had two girls. So had kind of matchy style names (Camille and Claudia) in the pipeline.

Neither of those is the girls' name I love, but I kind of didn't mind because there were two, so it wouldn't be like one had my favourite name over the other. I like both the names, but no more than like.

Now it's turned out they're definitely boy/girl. So the boy will be Max. And I can't think of anything I like other than the name I can't have, now it's only one girls name I need. (It's been what my daughter has always been called in my head for the last 20yrs, and literally a year ago, this bitch who's connected directly to our family stole it, and yes I am fucking bitter) Spam me with names that go with Max please. Help me find something I love...

Max and Philipa pippa is a great nickname!!!

I like Honor and Philippa NN Pippa/Pip.
I still prefer Max and Anya though.

MsJuniper · 21/09/2019 17:34

I was about to suggest Vita (or Victoria with nn Vita) and a pp has had the same idea. Also like Clio (Cl-eye-o like the muse). My tastes are quite classical.

I also like Max and Honor.

Not keen on Phillipa but that's personal taste.

Of the 4 from your last update, I like Philippa the best. Max and Pip is sweet. May sound like 2 boys though?

I was unable to use the name I loved. We got a cat 2 years after my dd was born and I still missed the name. So we named the cat my favourite name. I get to use it everyday and now couldn't imagine my daughter being called a cats name!

I saw you like Anais. I have a niece with this name and nobody can say it properly. She is called 'Annay' all the time which drives her and my sister bonkers. So obviously it's what I call her Grin

Sparklypurpleunicornsaremyfav · 21/09/2019 10:39

Meant to put Philipa to the list

Seriously @courtney555 just pick the name you love. No-one owns a name and you have every right to use the name. If you’re determined to give up on your favourite name, i’d Suggest:

Olivia
Eleanor
Claire
Katie (short for Katherine)
Megan
Amy
Lucy
Ruby
Mila

There's a tennis player called Eugenie Bouchard. She was named after Princess Eugenie, though. I don't know of any others.

bridgetreilly · 21/09/2019 09:40

As a name, it's Honor, not Honour.

Fivebeanchilli · 21/09/2019 09:04

Sorry not sure what happened there.
The end of my list should have read:
Rowena
Tabitha
Verity
