Hi all, expecting baby 4, not sure if the sex yet but are struggling with names. Our 3 children are
Arabella Catherine Sophia
Jasper Sebastian James
Leonora Alexandra Grace

Girls shortlist

  • Clara
  • Francesca
  • Victoria
  • Rosalia

Boys shortlist

  • Tristan
  • Caspian (too closer to Jasper?)
  • Felix
  • Louis

None of them feel quite perfect so open to ideas and suggestions or even just favourites from our shortlist.

TIA x

Clara - quite like it. Perhaps a bit plain in comparison to Arabella and Leonora
Francesca - love it. And goes perfectly with your existing children.
Victoria - really like it but not its common shortenings (Vicky and Tori. Quite like Toria)
Rosalia - this almost crosses a line into 'too fancy' for me. Rosalie, Rosaline, Rosalind, Rosanna, Rosemary seem much more useable to me. Not sure why.

Tristan - very 'posh' but quite like it.
Caspian - I have a little relative called Caspian so I love it. Surprised so many people agree with you that it's close to Jasper. I don't see the link between the two names??
Felix - love it.
Louis - not keen. Some people say it Loo-ee and some say Lew-is. I like Lewis but would spell it Lewis and think that doesn't go with your children's names. Loo-ee does go but I don't really like it.

I would choose Francesca and either Caspian or Felix. All three are perfect with Arabella, Jasper and Leonora in my opinion.

From your list, I love Clara. What about Cecily, Rosina, Sylvie or Phoebe?

For a boy, maybe Crispin, Adam, Miles or Loic?

17caterpillars1mouse · 25/08/2024 19:27

Leonora is such a beautiful, underused name. We considered it for dc3 but alas, he was a boy

Reading your childrens names I initially thought it throw in a unexpected name like Arabella, Japser, Leonora and Suzanne or Bridget. Something you wouldn't quite expect. From your list I like Clara best but I think I would avoid a third girl mane ending in an 'A'

A few other suggestions - Rosalin / Rosalind, Jocelyn, Josephine, Bethan, Elspeth, Tallulah, Evangeline

We has Tristan on our boys list and also considered Tristram, I really don't like Felix and Louis is very meh. I think Caspian is a bit close to Jasper. It's a shame you've already used Sebastian as that would of been perfect.

A few suggestions

Lemongrassandcamomile · 25/08/2024 17:56

I think Felix is perfect.

From your girls' list, I like Clara best. Or tweak Rosalia to Rosalind. Or go for the feminine form of Felix - Felicity.

MerryMarys · 25/08/2024 14:18

I like Clara & Quentin

Roderick? 😂

💯

I think you want to avoid another uh ending if possible, as it gets a bit matchy matchy. I think Caspian is too similar to Jasper.

I like Tristan (Tristram even more)

From your list, I think Francesca would work brilliantly for a girl.

I agree that the boys names aren't quite right (except perhaps Louis), and agree with pp that 2 syllables might be the best flow, so some more suggestions:

Rupert, Toby, Bertram, Marcus, Edmond

Crowsandcorvids · 24/08/2024 16:25

My favourites from your list are Francesca, Felix and Louis.
How about Frances or Francis?

GrandHighPoohbah · 24/08/2024 16:22

Reuben, Theodore or Rufus for a boy.
Francesca, Ophelia or Jemima for a girl

CastlesinSpain · 24/08/2024 16:21

How about plain "Spud" as a bit of a contrast?😁

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 24/08/2024 16:17

Hugo and Cassia came straight to mind.

LizLooney · 24/08/2024 16:07

I think I'd go shorter and not ending in "a" as a contrast. Agree with Theo above. Or perhaps Cleo? Or Daisy?

Stowickthevast · 24/08/2024 15:44

I think Caspian is too close to Jasper.

Cosmo, Hector or Edmund for a boy would fit your existing group.

What about Iris or Penelope for a girl or are you set on an a ending?

Decaffeinatedplease · 24/08/2024 15:43

I think Rosalind might be nicer than Rosalia which I'm not sure how to pronounce. They don't all have to end in 'a'.

All pretty names.

For boys, I thought of Saul. Caspian is too close to Jasper. Louis is a good all-purpose stylish boy's name, I have a couple of friends with a Louis.
