What would you name a brother to Maud and Persephone (who often goes by Sephy)?

LOVE Maud! Don’t listen to rude posters who are 1) trolls or 2) think we must all name our baby girls Lily or Evie.

You named your baby MAUD?

Don't be so fucking rude

I knew a beautiful French girl called Maud. Can’t believe how rude some people are being.

Or Vodafone as that goes well with the boy you already have.

Truestorypeeps · 04/06/2023 23:36

Does the third name HAVE to sound stuck-up and superior? Is it a must have or just a nice to have?

Until I know this, I'll play it safe and go for Colin.

Something equally as pretentious and ugly, awful names to saddle a child with

Horribly rude, and chippy.

EtonMessy · 04/06/2023 21:50

Maud is a fabulous name ! Don’t understand the criticism!!

DonnatellaLyman · 04/06/2023 21:48

God, people are grim. You can (kindly) give your opinion on baby name options. The only response to the name of an actual human child is ‘lovely!’

Being rude about the name of someone’s much loved child isn’t witty, or clever, or edgy, it’s just a dick move.

fwiw I know a Maud who is an utter delight and suits her name perfectly. Sephy is also great.

reelcat · 04/06/2023 21:41

Love your girls names! For a boy I like Victor, Edmund, Aloysius, Octavuis (Tavy), Eugene, Tarron, Beck, Adonis, Demetrius, Edgar.

Tintackedsea · 04/06/2023 21:39

Man alive! Vicious in here tonight!

Reckon some folk need to wind their necks in.

Maud makes me think of W B Yeats so William.

Persephone makes me think of Hades but that's not a great name for a bairn. Zeus? Achilles? Hector?

Gustavus?
