Baby #3 name ideas

39 replies

MustBeMad20 · 31/08/2021 19:27

Just found out that we're expecting #3! 🥰 2 DDs already, aged 8 and 4. It's still very early but I LOVE thinking of names. Trouble is with being a teacher AND having been trying for babies/pregnant for the majority of the past 9 years is that I have now totally overthought pretty much all names 🤣

Our girls names are Fern and Norah. We prefer shorter, older names, but not too popular. I'm not a fan of nicknamey sounding names/those that end in an y/ie (although, strangely loving Annie at the moment!)

Would love to know what names come to mind for both girls and boys when you think of Fern and Norah!

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Moss (too much with Fern but I love it)

I love Annie, as a PP said. Also Astrid and Polly.

HainaultViaNewburyPark · 01/09/2021 13:32

How about Judith?

bloominglovelyorange · 01/09/2021 13:19

Absolutely love Laurel

Balonzette · 01/09/2021 13:18

Oohh Olive and Sylvie! Also perfect 😍

Okay, I'm done, for now (I think )

Balonzette · 01/09/2021 13:16

Oh and from a PP suggestions, Annie or Rose would be lovely. (I love Rosa as a name but I like that the names both have different endings, hence why I didn't include any other names that end with an 'a')

Balonzette · 01/09/2021 13:15

LOVE Fern and Norah. I think you need something else with a wholesome, vintage sort of rural vibe? Do you know what I mean by rural? I mean it in a good way. Like I can imagine a little Fern and Norah in a lovely quaint British novel playing in the countryside in white Railway Children style dresses

Fern, Norah and Tess
Fern, Norah and Iris
Fern, Norah and Hazel
Fern, Norah and Joy
Fern, Norah and Beatrice (nn Bea)

I can't think of any boy's names I like as much. I'll come back if I think of any

@Chunkymenrock

Fern is excellent. Norah is very frumpy.

Kind of rude, given that OP has already named her children this

Also, I forgot boys names! Definitely harder. ..

Rowan
Rory
Dylan
Aidan
Miles
