Hi,

Am being induced on Monday and we are team yellow, leaving the sex of the baby as a surprise!

Please pick one!

Boys:
Theodore
Rupert
Sebastian

Girls
Nigella (family name)
Henrietta
Amelie
Emily
Anne

Half sister is Camilla.

Which works well?

Thanks

Rupert and Nigella

Theodore and Emily

Love, love, love Theo as a name. Also love Sebastian as well, but I could only chose one. :(

BasilOfBakerStreet · 10/01/2020 16:20

Rupert or Theodore
Henrietta. Love it.

17caterpillars1mouse · 09/01/2020 19:26

Sebastian and Nigella (love it)

I also like Henrietta, Emily and Anne

Boys:
Theodore - Like very much (fave!)
Rupert - Not keen, makes me think of the bear
Sebastian - love!

Girls
Nigella (family name) - sorry no but if it’s meaningful then maybe
Henrietta - not my taste
Amelie -like
Emily - like
Anne - i think it’s a little bland, Anna is nicer

Good luck ♥️

Chatteringclasses · 09/01/2020 15:40

Sabastian and Anne ( it would sound so fresh on a little girl as it is hardly ever used these days but it is a beautiful name ).

Sebastian and Emily

Meganc559 · 09/01/2020 14:16

Theodore and Emily :)

bb2605 · 09/01/2020 14:14

Boy - Rupert
Girl - Either Amelie or Emily or at a push Henrietta - Amelie/Emily is lovely but Henrietta goes better with Camilla I think :-)

Prefer Sebastian and Amelie/Emily. Dislike Nigella but do like Theodora, which would work with Camilla.

fannyanney · 09/01/2020 10:14

But I prefer Anna to Anne.. it's very similar but imo has a nicer sound to it

Hi thanks for all the responses.

Half sister won’t be living with us, but lives with her mother, so they won’t be together all the time.

So Emily/amelie won’t be an issue.

I like Theo but not Theodore and I like Emily

Theodore and Henrietta

Theodore and Amelie

Twooter · 09/01/2020 07:07

Like pp, think Amelie and Emily may be too similar to Camilla. Would go for Anna rather than Anne - Anne always seems very plain and dull.

Boys- love Theo, so would go for that ( although not so keen on Theodore, but would use as formal name)

userabcname · 09/01/2020 07:05

Sebastian and Henrietta

GryffinDora · 09/01/2020 07:03

Sebastian and Ann/Annie

emmathedilemma · 09/01/2020 07:01

Theodore (Theo) or Emily
or Annie rather than Anne?

Clettercletterthatsbetter · 09/01/2020 06:42

Rupert and Nigella

ShanghaiDiva · 09/01/2020 05:36

I love Nigella and Henrietta.
Theodore is my favourite for a boy.

HeronLanyon · 09/01/2020 05:05

Only thought - Emily/Amelie nn May be very similar to nn for camilla so I would avoid those.
Good luck and congrats !
