He could come any day now!! I’m so stuck on names 😭.
We have 2 daughters already, Clover and Charlotte.
Some of my name taste is maybe a bit unusual but I do also like classics too.
Our list :
Ellis
Wren
Emory
Spencer
Percy (Is it too old man?)
Robin
Seth
Rowan
Warren

Rowan is a girls name IMHO. I'm not keen on any of your names. Some are frankly awful eg Percy Wren. Seth is acceptable

Rowan isn't a girls name.

Love Ellis and Seth and Percy
Rowan is overused last couple of years, in my opinion, and very similar to the fastest rising popular boy name Roman with M. Know loads of baby Romans including 3 at my nursery @Abichoco

Wren is a girls name

This.

PreggersWithBaby2 · 25/08/2024 10:27

There's a lot on your list that are feminine sounding names in my opinion.... Wren, Emory, Robin and Ellis. I know Wren and Robin are traditionally male names but any person I've met with those names have been female.

I really like Spencer, Seth, Rowan or Warren from your list. Seth sounds best to me with Clover and Charlotte.

Clover, Charlotte and Rowan

theduchessofspork · 25/08/2024 01:39

How about Corin

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 25/08/2024 01:32

Not Percy, I can’t imagine many older boys/men liking that, despite Percy Jackson. Warren is also quite dated. Emory sounds very US/ too much like Emily and Wren has almost completely gone to the girls.

Your other choices are fine, but I think Rowan and Robin fit with Clover and Charlotte best - they have the nature vibes of Clover but the traditional style of Charlotte. I think I slightly prefer Rowan for a boy (unless in Scotland) as Robyn seems to be very popular for girls at the moment but both names are nice.

TheHappiestChristmasTree · 24/08/2024 22:15

Seth

StormingNorman · 24/08/2024 22:04

Clover, Charlotte and Robin.

It’s a beautiful mix of nature (like Clover) and classic (like Charlotte).

Pemba · 24/08/2024 22:01

Seth is my favourite, and Ellis, Emory and Robin are OK.

Don't like any of the others, and Wren is definitely very popular right now for girls.

Newbornhaze · 24/08/2024 21:52

I love Ellis the most from your list

KirstenBlest · 24/08/2024 17:39

Ellis - ok
Wren - awful
Emory- too Emma-y. It was what I thought Anne-Marie was called until I saw her name written down
Spencer - ok, will be Spence
Percy - ok but 'pointing percy at the porcelain' and Percy Pigs spring to mind
Robin - ok
Seth - It's OK but not my taste
Rowan - ok but Roman and Reuben are too popular
Warren - Ok but not trendy

Beth216 · 24/08/2024 13:15

Percy is a name for a pig IMO. Wren is for a girl.

I like Rowan and Ellis best.

BeaLola · 24/08/2024 13:12

Percy
Seth
Otis
Tobias
Peter
Nathaniel

MrsSlocombesCat · 24/08/2024 12:33

Clover, Charlotte and Otis.

RedOnyx · 24/08/2024 12:16

As others have said Wren is usually a girl's name.

Robin or Spencer feel like the best fits from your list. I think Oliver, Owen or Jonathan would also sound good.

VenusClapTrap · 24/08/2024 11:28

I like Percy.

How about
Tristan
Kay
Kim
Aubrey

wizzler · 24/08/2024 07:16

From your list I only like Rowan

I would go with something classic like David or Matthew

I think Roman might be a better option as Rowan is often used for girls

Firsttimebabymummy · 24/08/2024 07:10

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 23/08/2024 20:49

Clover, Charlotte and Rowan.

Agree! Definitely the best combo

Sorrelia · 23/08/2024 22:28

Clover, Charlotte and Rowan without a doubt. Flows beautifully, all linked by an "o" but very distinct personalities. Love it!

BigBoysDontCry · 23/08/2024 21:40

I like Spencer.

Other suggestions:
Austin
Emerson
Carter
Miles
