Struggling with baby number 3

Stella is nice. What about: -
Estelle
Colette
Fern

Casper
Ross
Adam

I had a friend called Stella, definitely not a barmaid type.

Wasn't there a Stella Rigby, landlady of the White Swan? (showing my age there)

Funny: there's been threads before on Stella and this is the first time I remember comments like this. It makes me think of steel, in a good way, and of a nurse who looked after me well.

Not Nola - it's much too like Olive, and also Enola, which had a very long thread last year.

Of your boys' list Zach is great. Maybe Ted?

Olive, Max and Stella or Olive, Max and Jude are both so sweet.

Also good - Olive, Max and Astrid.
Olive, Max and Tansy
Olive, Max and Barney.

Stella... or maybe the Madam of a Wild West house of ill repute.

Amazed that so many like Stella... my association is that of a brash wartime barmaid with a fag hanging out her mouth.

We have a Jackson we all Jax as a nn 🥰
I love Jude and Alba and Stella

Not Ned it's the Scottish word for chav.

Chester
Helena
Beau
Jonah
Seren
Freddie
Fern
Sacha
Rory
Laurie
Laurel
Cole
Pearl
Iris
Curtis
Dinah
Esther
Gaia
Cate
Juno
Orla

I love Zachary
Daphne Jean
Alba Jean

I know of an Olive and her little sister is called Pearl.

How about Ezekiel (Zek) for a boy?

Stella or Jude/Zachary from your lists.

Daphne as someone suggested is fab, goes so well with Olive. Agnes would as well, might be a step too far for you but I adore it.

Stella and Zachary are my favourites ☺️ (Although I’m biased, just named our little boy Zachary!)

Stella reminds me of the drink I'm afraid. Love Jude. Juno ?

I like Stella, love Jude and think they both go with your other children's. The only name on your list I don't really like is Jackson, just because I don't really understand the last name as a first name trend.

I really like Stella and Cassius (and also Ned - but only as a nickname for Benedict or Edward/Edmund/Edgar etc as on it's own Ned's a bit of a slur in Scotland). Alba and Zachary are also quite nice. Cassius and Benedict work wonderfully with Maximilian imo (as a Roman link, which Olive has too in the Olivia form).

Other suggestions:
Estella (sounds great with Olive and Max to me and less popular than Stella)
Cassia (if a girl instead of Cassian)
Claudia
Gaia
Freda

(Ale)Xander
August
Felix
Rufus
Lucian

I like Stella best. I like Jude but don’t think it goes. Edward shortened to Ned is nice.

Daphne.
Helen.
Guy.
Peter.

Girl 🎀
Stella (favourite so far) - my favourite by far
Alba - scotland
Nola - enola gay

Boy 🎈
Jude - yuk
Zachary (Zach) - too popular
Cassius - fine
Ned - awful
Jackson - Jacksy as a nn?

Roman?

Sadie for a girl? Jameson? Tabitha?

Of your boys names I like Jude, Ned (as long as Edward/Edwin etc on birth cert), Zach and Cassius (though prefer Cassian). I think Jude does best with Max and Olive. Jackson is a bit meh.

Of the girls names I like Stella. Alba at a push. Nola just makes me think of Angela’s Ashes type tragedy... or the Nolan sisters.

Other thoughts

Edith, Lois, Ines, Agnes, Bridget, Pearl, Olwen, Rosen, Roslyn, Iris, Laurel, Lauren, Oona, Thora, Sorrel,

Jerome, Seth, Silas, Albaric (Al/Albie) Rory, Miles, Kester, Robin, Rowan, Struan, Stellan, Angus

I like Alba for a girl from your list. Also think Nancy would be lovely with siblings names and with your middle name of choice. I have to say I think Stella is very marmitey, the cheap beer with "wife beater" connotations is a big deal breaker for a lot of people, although I do like the space connection.

I like Zachary or Jude for boys. As someone else said Ned is used to mean chav in Scotland, it stands for non-educated deliquescent, so that would be a no for me but depends if you have connections to Scotland. Jackson sounds more modern and less classic than the other siblings names, doesn't sound as nice a fit to me but it's not the most important thing in the world for them to "go" together.

Like your lists but less keen on Nola, Ned and Jackson.

Nola I just don't think sounds all that nice. Ned is the name for a 'chav' here in Scotland! And Jackson, I like the style of it, but it is very popular and Jack even more so.

I know a lovely Stella so it has positive connotations for me.

my first thought wasn't Streetcar

Oh of course not everyone. I did say SOME people. For some people who are keen on theatre and literature, that might be their first thought, especially if it is being shouted across a playground or something, because Stanley is always bellowing "STELLAAAAAA" in the play, you know?

An acquaintance of mine named her dd Stella. She was dropping hints through her pregnancy that it was a name from literature, so we were thinking of all the great, literary heroines...then Stella . What a character to name your dd after! It's up there with Lolita imo (and yes, I know people do).

But I don't have to like it. Not my baby! But just pointing out how some people might perceive it.
