Hi all!

We've just found out we've another boy on the way and I'd love your thoughts on names to go with our other kids:

Florence Cecelia
Sebastian James

Some names we quite like:
Alexander, Nathaniel, Frederick, Joshua... Possibly Hugo, Gabriel, Samuel

Previously liked Arthur but worried it's a bit too popular at the moment?

We like George but it's my FiL's name - may go with for middle name.

Henry is cute but is a family dog name!

Benjamin was sadly a late term loss for one of my SiLs which rules it out and probably also rules out Benedict which we kind of liked.

Little man is a triple rainbow for us after three losses last year so I quite like the idea of a name with a bit of deeper meaning but struggling a little..

Thoughts? ☺️

I clicked because Alexander popped in to head as matching your SC. Alexander George is lovely.

How about Duncan? It means dark warrior. After your losses, it seems like you could be doing with a wee warrior.

Ah thanks everyone!

Lots of lovely names added to the mix for us to think about!

@Moreteaandchocolate we obviously have very similar taste!

@Namechangenamechanged ooh I do like the sound of Hugo Alexander 👍🏼

@cyclamenqueen ooh yes, Thomas and Edmund are others we had mentioned. Hmm

@Newsenmum yes, the meaning of Benedict is partly why I loved it. Good idea to contemplate it for the middle name 👍🏼

@TokyoSushi @Scrambledchickens My sister's little boy is actually Félix so that one is taken, but agree, it's a lovely meaning!

@SophiaRose35 I do love Samuel... It is one of my cousin's names but I don't think that would matter too much.

Lots of food for thought - thanks everyone!

Florence is one of my fav names for a girl and me and DH have a close family friend of ours is called Sebastian "Seb" great name and his younger brother is Alexander "Alex" so I would probs pick that first. I also like Samuel that has always been on my list for both my DS

Alexander Jonas

Scrambledchickens · 01/04/2024 22:52

Felix, it also means happy/ fortunate so very appropriate given your circumstances :)

Copperoliverbear · 01/04/2024 22:42

Frederick, Hugo from you list.

I also like Theodore and Alexander.

Barnaby George

Newsenmum · 01/04/2024 22:18

Or Nathaniel Alexander

Newsenmum · 01/04/2024 22:17

Nathaniel Benedict George

Two middle names cute. Benedict means miracle.

cyclamenqueen · 01/04/2024 22:15

Marcus ?
Thomas means brother so our ds3 has it as a second name
Lucas
Julian
Edmund

TokyoSushi · 01/04/2024 22:13

Adding Felix to your list, lovely names!

Chewbecca · 01/04/2024 22:10

Hugo was my first thought, lovely name and goes with with Florence and Sebastian. Alexander as a middle name - Hugo Alexander. Congratulations on your pregnancy
