We have a DD and DS and did not struggle with their names...

Olive
Maximilian (Max)

Pregnant with number 3 and struggling a lot with names. I just don't feel loads of love for any of them yet. We are not finding out the sex...

(Names in order of favourite to least favourite)

Girl 🎀
Stella (favourite so far)
Alba
Nola

Boy 🎈
Jude
Zachary (Zach)
Cassius
Ned
Jackson

Any suggestions on names to go with Olive and Max much appreciated xx

Dislike Jackson but like the rest of your boys' list. Stella is nice (my first thought wasn't Streetcar!) but I don't like Alba and Nola. Nathaniel (Nate), Sebastian (Seb) or Josiah (Joss) would go.

Oh one more; Audrey?

Of your suggestions, I love Alba, Jude and Cassius.

I really don't like Stella (sorry). It goes with all the Bellas and Ellas around.

Also, if you bellow it across a park, it will remind some people of the poor wife in Streetcar and others of beer known as 'wife beater' (delightful, I know). Or maybe that tv program of the same name, which I didn't watch, but I don't think it was meant to be aspirational. All in all, just a massive no for me, especially compared to your existing children's lovely, classy names.

Suggestions:

Astrid
Juliet
Luna
Juno
Clementine
Emmeline
Penelope
Saskia

Laurence / Lawrence (Laurie)
Keir
Raphael
Wilfred
Hector
Guy

Strangley my DS was going to be either Maximillian or Zachary, we went for Zac in the end. I have since discovered there is a clothing brand called Max and Zac so they definitely go together.

Nancy

Jesse
Kit
Benedict

I like Stella, Zack and Ned though.
