Camilla and William would immediately make me think Royal Family but somehow your 3 boys names wouldn't despite them all being linked there too. I love Louis off your boys names and think it goes the best. I don't think any of your girls names go to be honest although I do like them. Rosie's so sweet but sounds odd with such formal names!

I also have a Francesca :)

cptartapp · 16/04/2023 06:52

I like Edward
Lots of baby Margot's being born atm.

GoodVibesHere · 16/04/2023 06:48

Camilla and William is a bit like you aspire to be like the royal family? I like Claudia maybe.

I love the name Rosemary - we were married by a vicar named Rosemary and it was on our shortlist. I think it goes really well with your existing names. Do your existing DC use nns such as Fran/Chess and Will? If they do I think my preference would be to find a long name with a diminutive option too.

Francesca, William and
Rosie and Edward .. or ..

Camilla
Georgina
Margaret
Catherine
Eleanor
Gabrielle/a

All of your boys' names are nice and go well. How about:
Joseph
Jonathan
Dominic
Robert
Alexander
Thomas

Luredbyapomegranate · 15/04/2023 14:31

Louis and Edward go well, Albert sort of does but you probably won’t like Alf/ie??

Camilla works, Margot sort of does, but Marguerite nn Margot would work better. Rosie is far too nicknamey but Rose, Rosanna or Rosamund nn Rosie would work.

I like Edward and Rosanna nn Rosie best

Grin Rosie sounds like William and Francesca’s housemaid!

Houselamp · 15/04/2023 14:04

Rosie and Louis
They go nicely with your other names without sounding old fashioned and clumpy. Camilla does not go at all

Shayisgreat · 15/04/2023 13:54

Before I opened the thread I thought Rose.

Out of the 3 boy names - Edward. John would work really well too.

Maharajah20 · 15/04/2023 13:42

Gabriella
Claudia
Charlotte
Annabelle

George
Isaac

Chocolatesandroses · 15/04/2023 13:41

Rosie for a girl and Edward for a boy

Quitelikeacatslife · 15/04/2023 13:40

We have these names in my family with a Hannah

Gruelle · 15/04/2023 13:38

Barbara would be glorious.

ZoyaTheDestroyer · 15/04/2023 13:32

Oops, posted too soon! That may or may not bother you. Rosie is lovely but I wouldn’t give a diminutive as a legal given name with formal sibling names. Rose or Rosemary?

Love Edward and like Albert. I don’t get on with Louis for a reason I can’t quite put my finger on.

ZoyaTheDestroyer · 15/04/2023 13:30

Camilla and Margot are both beautiful but they are having a bit of a moment

Selttan · 15/04/2023 13:15

Edward and what about Rosemary instead of Rosie?

Amdone123 · 15/04/2023 13:13

Out of your lists, I love Camilla and Edward.
Gorgeous names BTW.
Dominic ?
Eleanor ?

Enko · 15/04/2023 13:12

Of those I think Camilla works best of the girls names. Classic and not faddy like sibling names is. All 3 boys names work I personally prefer Albert from the 3.
