I'm losing my mind trying to narrow the lists down further. Surname is Green if that helps.

Alice
Thea
Sadie
Rosie
Anna

Jude
Louis
Henry
William
Rowan

Thank you all for your input, very helpful. We've narrowed it down to Alice, Anna or Sadie. William and Henry. We may leave it as is and see what she or he suits once born X

Alice or William

Sandysandwich · 07/05/2024 19:35

I love William, Rowan, Alice, Anna and Rosie.

I know it's Anne of Green Gables but when you say it, the words can run together, and 'Anne of' sounds like Anna in certain accents (like my husband's Grin)

I love the name Sadie. I also like Anna, but coupled with Green as the surname, I immediately thought Anna Green Gables

It's Anne of Green Gables.

RogueFemale · 07/05/2024 19:05

@Jollytots34 Yes to Alice, Anna, Henry & William. Dislike the rest, particularly Rosie Green (which conjures up a pinkish green - I know someone who called their daughter Rosie Blue [surname] Brown, which sounds like a horrible bruise).

I like all of these names! But Jude Green sounds a bit abrupt and Sadie Green is a main character in a recent bestselling book - not a bad thing but an FYI as it might be mentioned!

WaltzingWaters · 07/05/2024 13:13

Alice, Thea or Sadie.
I’m really not a fan of Anna.

All you boys names are nice. Jude is my favourite but I’m not sure it goes with Green too well. Louis or Henry I think would be my picks.

NetMum2 · 07/05/2024 13:06

Alice and Rosie are two of my favourite girls names but I agree with a previous poster that Rosie Green sounds like it could be on a paint chart!

I’d say William goes best with your surname. Not keen on Rowan and I think Jude is too short.

Moveoverdarlin · 06/05/2024 15:54

Alice and William are my favourites. Classic, elegant, timeless.

Don’t like Thea or Sadie.

Happytimes123456 · 06/05/2024 15:52

Love Anna and Jude

FloofyBear · 06/05/2024 15:51

Sadie and Jude for me

Nicebloomers · 06/05/2024 15:50

Alice or Sadie

Jude or William

Henry Green is a bit ‘Thomas the tank engine’

fiddleleaffig · 06/05/2024 10:46

Alice or Henry

desperatedaysareover · 06/05/2024 10:39

Thea, Anna and Rowan, but for a little girl. I prefer Zadie to Sadie. Of the boys names, Henry by far.

When he or she is born you might get a very strong sense of who they are. We had a shortlist of three for our DD and let the midwives decide what they thought suited her best. They were right!

Enko · 06/05/2024 10:31

Does it need to be narrowed down further? Wait until baby is here and then see what S/he looks like.

Personally I love Sadie as a name. For boys I'd go with William or Louis out of your list.

OverTheCountryClub · 06/05/2024 08:14

I would choose Thea and William. But all lovely names!

Viviennemary · 06/05/2024 08:08

Alice - I like
Thea - don't like
Sadie - not keen
Rosie - nice
Anna - nice

William - ok
Louis - quite nice
Henry - not keen
Rowan - awful for a boy
Jude - ok

Oranitle · 06/05/2024 08:02

Louis or Henry Green are the best.
William Green is ok but Will Green quite dull. I like Jude but know several toddler Jude’s, so I think very trendy now. Rowan is a nice name but Rowan green is too much like a description.

I’m not too keen on any of the girls names, but Sadie is the best, Thea is very trendy and Rose variations are everywhere. Alice and Anna a bit dull although nice names that work with Green.

user1492757084 · 06/05/2024 05:02

William Green 10/10
Louis Green 9/10
Henry Green 9/10
Rowan Green 7/10
Jude Green 4/10

Alice Green 10/10
Anna Green 10/10
Sadie Green 8/10
Rosie Green 6/10
Thea Green 4/10

Do you like Sally Green 10/10?

poolcrew · 06/05/2024 04:37

I love the name Sadie. I also like Anna, but coupled with Green as the surname, I immediately thought Anna Green Gables

Santasbigredbobblehat · 06/05/2024 04:29

Anna

William

novocaine4thesoul · 06/05/2024 03:36

All nice names, I would agree with OP on Rosie and Rowan though. x

Theoldwoman · 06/05/2024 02:32

Alice and Louis

mathanxiety · 06/05/2024 01:47

I think Sadie, William, and Henry go best with the surname Green.
