Ivo + ?

DS is called Ivo, which we see as being an unusual, but known, energetic sounding name. We wouldn't want a sibling to feel short-changed, so would be keen for something that fits this kind of bill. Ideally we want a name that works in French. Names we like but don't necessarily feel 100% right include:

Girls

  • Beatrix (don't like Trixie as a nn)
  • Flora
  • Hermione
  • Anaïs (worried about pronunciation in the UK)

Boys

  • Jasper
  • Caspar
  • Thibault
  • Ludovic
  • Basil (but dislike the nn Baz)

If you know an Ivo, what are his siblings called? Do you have any suggestions for us?

Thanks!

I love Ivo!
My DS is called Saul.
I also like Max although it's more common than Ivo, of course.
Personally I think Thibault is too French (we're a bilingual family but live in England).

For girls, I am actually expecting one atm, and I love Anais but I've ruled it out because English speakers would struggle with pronunciation. I am considering Inès which I think is a bit easier but still hesitating. Also like Mia but it is very popular.

PerditaProvokesEnmity · 24/04/2020 09:20

Surely you wouldn't choose a second boy's name ending in 'o'?

IckleBear · 24/04/2020 09:18

Astrid
Cassia

Soren
Cosmo

PerditaProvokesEnmity · 24/04/2020 09:18

No ideas for boys but I think

Juliet

Barbara

Henrietta

would all work well with Ivo (and would provide nice diminutives too).
