Love Saffron. Do it!

For a bit, all your options are nice.

I also like Reuben

Thank you @SophiaLarsen

Tristan might sound clunky with your surname anyway in the same way saffron does.

Edmund is good, though I'd shorten it for every day.

What would you shorten it too? I could just use it as a middle name

Love Tristan and Edmund (nick name Eddie?)

@WillyLows Yeah. My friend might name her baby Tristan though and she is further in.

Dear @Thewarrioress

Helen is pretty and I agree that Rosaline is nice. Juliet is nice too. I am considering Michael and James is a nice name just I have bad connotations. Thank you!

Thank you @mathanxiety Louisa is very pretty but I have the middle name Eloisa. I wouldn't use Sophia (WAY too many)

@WillyLows Thanks, yes I do like option 2

mathanxiety · 13/07/2023 00:26

I love both of your boy options.

For girls' names, I'd swop Lizzie for Louisa and use Sophia instead of Saffy.

Thewarrioress · 12/07/2023 20:20

Also Juliet

Hey all,

I'm thinking these but of course I still have plenty of time.
Girl option 1: Saffy Evelyn Jade
Girl option 2: Lizzie Sadie Iris
Boy option 1: Charlie Oliver Jasper
Boy option 2: Oscar Miles Jude

Option 2 for girls is better IMO.

Honestly, your boy names are all ok but they are very overused whereas your girl names are a bit more inspired. They're nice enough but nothing special.

I love Thea!

Saffron (LOVE it, my no.1, I found it on a different post) - it's ok. I really like that none of the girls' names would be too matchy but it's not my style. Seraphine is nicer.
Aurora (Too princessy, right?) - definitely too princessy and also rhymes with Isadora
Jade (Loveee) - sorry I hate this. It's so 90s. Pearl is nicer.
Hazel (Like it) - is nice
Heather (Wondered about it before) - is nice but I feel it's a bit matchy with Thea
Fern (Nature-y) - ok
Rosaline/Rosa but not Rose and defo not Rosie - it's ok but there are better options on here
Elizabeth/Lizzie - I really like this
Taylor/Tallie - sorry I hate this. It's so dull compared with her sisters. Talia is pretty though.

Boys names:
Oscar - nice. Very popular but very nice.
Oliver/Ollie - as above. Even more popular but no one could dislike it.
Charlie - ok. A bit bland.

How about:
Martha
Miranda
Beatrice
Constance/Connie
Lucia/Lucinda
Susannah
Antonia

Sebastian
Jasper
Caspar
Frederick
William
Benedict
Dominic
Stefan
Reuben

Bea is lovely but my cousin has that name. Fab suggestions, thanks @Fivebeanchilli
