Girls:

Lorelei June (pronounced “Lora-lie”); familiarized by Gilmore Girls. I’ve actually always loved this name, but I realize it isn’t traditional or classic, which probably invites disdain since it’s not established like Charlotte; nns include Lora and Lola.

Genevieve Grace (or Genevieve Noelle); nns include Vivi, Gigi, Ginny, and Evie

Violet Isabel: Love this name, but Violet might have already been claimed by a family member

Boys:

Christopher Blake — I love Christopher Robin! And my grandma’s brother George Blake, who went by his middle name Blake, died in WW2, so I was thinking of honoring him through also calling my son by his middle name Blake. Plus, I dislike Chris as a nn. And I love William Blake!

Henry James: Literary & handsome imo, but would Peter be better?

Thanks in advance!

How about Kit instead of Chris as a nn? We had that on our list for DS.

But, agree with pp that if you love the name Blake best of all, you could just go with that. I know a little Blake and a teen Blake too.

I love Henry James. Yes, it's a very literary name. I also love Peter. I prefer these to Blake, personally, but not my baby etc.

Genevieve and Lorelei are lovely! I'm not that keen on Violet, but it is nice enough.

I thought Christopher Blake sounded better, but you’re right, Blake Christopher really doesn’t sound bad at all.

Thanks for your feedback!

If you want to call him by the name Blake, why not just call him Blake Christopher?

I love Violet and Henry 😊
