I have a Matthew. And an Emily.

For boys I like:
Jack - 3
Joseph - 2
Samuel - 1
Luke - 4

And for girls the shortlist is (but none feel exactly right):
Eva - dislike
Iris - ok but not keen
Niamh - nobody says it properly, it's Nee-uv not Neeve
Jasmine - ok but less classy than the DS names
Emily - ok

How about Eve rather than Eva?

Topbird29 · 15/04/2022 11:13

Because I find it mildly irritating when people don't come back and update baby name threads I had to come back and update my own.

My baby boy was born at the beginning of December 2021 and we called him Joseph William.

Lovely name and congratulations.

I have a Thomas Joseph and so loved your boys name and William is one I like too.

Topbird29 · 15/04/2022 11:09

We have a Thomas and a James. Top girl choice for us was Emily.
Only afterwards, I realise they are all in Thomas the tank engine. Guess that make me the fat controller!
Still like the names though Smile

Congratulations OP! Joseph William is a lovely name.

I don't understand why sibling's names need to be coordinated.

There's three of us in our family and ours don't match - Wynken, Blynken and Nod - never been a problem except once when we tried to hire a boat.

cheapskatemum · 15/04/2022 09:12

I like all your boy names, but feel James would be a better fit than Jack.

Girls names are all lovely.

Fabulous name OP.

Congratulations

Coralblimey · 15/04/2022 08:52

Dumbledoressister · 15/04/2022 08:46

Joseph and Iris x

darlingdodo · 15/04/2022 08:17

Duh. Joseph William is perfect. Congratulations!

darlingdodo · 15/04/2022 08:16

Like all your boys names but would possibly use James nn Jack.

For girls, as your boys names are strong, traditional names I wouldn't go with anything 'frilly'.

Emma
Hannah
Esther
Eleanor
Jane
Miriam
