First time asking Mumsnet, but we are struggling to settle on a name for our 3rd child. Sibling to Everly (nn Eve) and Oliver (nn Ollie).

Our shortlist is...

Girls names:

Nina
Erin (is another 'E' name wise though?)
Faye
Megan (nn Meg)
April

Boys names:

Felix
Benjamin (nn Ben)
Rory

Any other suggestions also welcome!
Going round in circles here.

Thank you :)

I'd do another vowel name, ideally with and L and a V. Ideally three syllables too.
Oliver, Everly and:

Avaline
Alvira

Alvin

@QueenieK thank you. I love Jude! This is what I would have called Ollie if the decision was just down to me, but my partner couldn't get on board with it.

Me too.

@portalid I appreciate that Felix is a bit of a marmite name and for some has a strong Cat association

Nina’s a lovely name. Direct simple elegant and Spanish for girl!

@user1492757084 thank you. Funnily enough I met a little Patrick not so long ago and found the name really charming. I don't like Pat though, so that would be a worry.

From your list Nina or Benjamin

other suggestions
Harriet
Sarah
Beatrix/Beatrice

Isaac
Toby
Samuel

Nina - lovely, it's sweet but not twee.

Benjamin is perfect.

QueenieK · 09/06/2023 06:25

I think Everly and Oliver are lovely names but very “R R R” heavy so personally I would avoid Rory and Erin.

I love Nina not keen on the boys names but that’s my preference.
What about Tom / Jack / Jude?

Thank you :)

Benjamin is my favourite boys name, so that gets a big yes from me!

I like April from your girls list, but I wouldn’t use another name starting with a vowel. Megan is nice.

Suggestions:

Everly, Oliver and Kate
Everly, Oliver and Zara
Everly, Oliver and Tessa

Everly, Oliver and Caleb
Everly, Oliver and George
Everly, Oliver and Lucas

portalid · 09/06/2023 05:45

Love Ben the most from your boys list. Rory is ok. I think Felix is so bad honestly. I wouldn't even usually share such a strong opinion but I cannot understand people liking that for a human 😳I would struggle to date someone called Felix even!

I love Nina!

user1492757084 · 09/06/2023 03:05

Everly, Oliver and ... best suited from your list ..
Megan - Meg
April
Benjamin
Felix
Benjamin Felix and Megan April

Do you like Edwin, Patrick or Bethany?

Mumofgirls2017 · 08/06/2023 22:20

Faye or Megan and Benjamin with your others

my favourites are Nina and Felix though

JimJamJo · 08/06/2023 21:14

I like Nina and Rory

Louoby · 08/06/2023 19:50

Love Nina, Rory and Felix. Personally I think Benjamin is so boring; especially Ben!
