Thinking of names for dc2. Dd1 is Alice.

Margot
Dorothy (am I nuts or is this pretty and due a comeback?)
Charlotte
Lilly/Lillian
Juliet

William
Felix
Raphael

Also any other suggestions? Dh sadly vetoed Evelyn.

I'd use William for a boy, it's a classic

ThatIsMyPotato · 07/05/2021 07:59

I love Dorothy and Freya is pretty

I like Margot and Raphael from your list.

Dorothy is already back - there are two in dd’s class. I like it.

Thanks everyone. Just realised I forgot to add Freya and Rose to the list.
I love Felicity @Tittybittybangbang but unfortunately can't use it.
Lydia is nice @Checkingout811

Don’t like your boys names really but would choose William of the 3.
Have you considered Lydia? I know an Alice & Lydia sibset and they go nicely.

Tittybittybangbang · 07/05/2021 06:55

I like Margot (know four) and I know two Dorothy, Dot for short. I’m must admit I’m sick of Lily.

Love Felix and Raphael.
You could add Felicity and Raphaella.

I like all your girls names, though really dislike 'Lil' as shortening for Lily, so would avoid for that reason. I do like Dorothy, but I think baby Dorothy would fall into 2 camps in my mind: a teeny Judy Garland, or a gravel voiced Golden Girl. I am middle aged though, so won't affect you!
I like William. Raphael is nice but if you live in a 3 bed semi and drive an Astra, it doesn't quite fit for me. Don't like Felix, all the ones I've taught have been very trying.
Greatly dislike Evelyn, don't lose sleep over that.

None of your girl names are to my taste. Alice is so pretty, I think you need another pretty classic and your list sounds a bit frumpy/boring to me.

Love Felix and Raphael.
