I am expecting baby number 3 early next year and we are not finding out the gender so I need suggestions of boys and girls names.

Baby number 3 will be sibling to Sloane (girl) and Miller (boy).

Names we like (but are set on) so you can get our vibe-

Boys

  • Archer
  • Henley
  • Cash
  • Lennox

Girls

  • Elara
  • Delaney
  • Lennie
  • Gia

I like Delaney, also Cassidy and Sage for a girl. Particularly Sage.

SunshineFlowersFood · 02/12/2024 00:00

Soha for a girl and Jude or Gene (Eugene) for a boy.

I take it you're American OP.

She has stated she's from the north of England.

TheMummyJade · 29/10/2024 01:49

Instead of Lennox, I would suggest Lennon or Liam. I also would sugges Tate, could be for a girl or boy :)

I’m not sure where this flood of defensiveness on behalf of the OP is coming from. I’m not ‘fondly imagining’ anything. I don’t have to. Quite a few posters think the names the OP favours are ridiculous for various reasons, and given that Mn is just a bunch of people released from the obligation to be tactful, it’s an indicator that some people encountering the OP and her children in RL are likely to feel similarly. What the OP does with that information is up to her.

Since when did MN not have a code of conduct? Anonymity on this forum isn't an open invitation to be rude or crude or mean, or to openly mock, or jeer at other people.

The rudeness and meanness here are an indicator only that there are some spectacularly rude people posting on this thread.

Insisting that there are others in real life who feel the same but are too polite to say what they really feel is an insidious form of bullying.

"No hun, there's a difference between honesty and meanness. You've crossed that line, and the "brutal honesty" you're clapping yourself on the back for is just a bad case of rudeness."

I'm not being mean or rude, nor am I clapping myself on the back Hmm

Hun

Your posts are both mean and rude, and also xenophobic and smug. Insisting - and doubling down - that people will laugh behind the OP's back at names she chooses for her babies is nasty.

miniaturepixieonacid · 28/10/2024 14:03

I like all the names on your list except for Cash. Your existing children's names and your shortlist are quite American sounding, I agree. But that style is becoming more and more popular in the UK too. I really like the surnamey style.

I currently teach or have recently taught (in the UK - home counties, 'posh' school) children called:

Aston, Asher, Ayrton, Bailey, Chase, Corran, Enzo, Harrison, Harvey, Hendrix, Hunter, Jasper, Jayden, Jensen, Jude, Lorcan, London, Payce, Quinn, Reed, Rio, Roca, Sandy, Spencer, Sultan, Tate, Tanner, Wilkie, Woody, Zen

Alexa, Atlanta, Aven, Darcey, Dakota, Everly, Riley, Savannah, Sydney

Many of those families are Irish, Scottish or American so I think that surnamey style is probably still more popular in those places but not all are. The girls still seem to be more traditionally named than boys.

Other ideas that I have (mostly) got from American books and TV:

Brandon, Brodie, Cole, Corey, Jordan, Mason, Parker, Porter, Preston

Addison, Ashley, Avery, Aubrey, Blair, Brynn, Cassidy, Fallon, Hadley, Harper, Kendall, Sutton, Payson, Peyton, Piper, Madison, Mackenzie, Morgan, Paige, Brooke, Reagan

Or some other 'softer', 'girlier' options that I think go well with Sutton and Miller:
Amberley, Aria, Aphra, Astrid, Autumn, Alannah, Bronte, Bryony, Bethany, Claire, Cassia, Celeste, Carmen, Carina, Carlotta, Delphi, Darina, Dana, Erin, Eden, Evadne, Ebony, Evelyn, Francesca, Faye, Fenella, Giselle, Giana, Georgia, Halle, Hayley, Honor, India, Iona, Jessamy, Juniper, Kiki, Kirsten, Katrina, Lorelai, Leonie, Leona, Liara, Lena, Meredith, Nicole, Nyah, Nia, Nova, Ondine, Poppy, Posy, Romy, Romilly, Rowena, Rosina, Robyn, Sadie, Sabrina, Serena, Summer, Scarlett, Sienna, Skye, Tiana, Tansy, Tamara, Tamsin, Tanya, Vivianne, Willow

And a few more British (often Celtic) sounding boys names you might like:
Aiden, Aaron, Connor, Callum, Ellis, Elliot, Ethan, Ewan, Fraser, Gabriel, Jamie, Jonty, Joshua, Jake, Kieran, Lucas, Leo, Milo, Micah, Nico, Owen, Patrick, Reuben, Rory, Raphael, Sonny, Victor, Vinnie, Zach

MaloryJones · 27/10/2024 17:09

I like Archer and Delaney from your list OP

Charlotte120221 · 27/10/2024 14:08

Sutton is awful.

You did ask.

Litchfield
Greene
Benham
Reeves
Chesterton
Kinley

I’m actually really warming to the London estate agent theme.

I was going to say EXACTLY the same as this! Grin

Cooper, Thatcher, Gongfermer....

Needanewname42 · 23/10/2024 07:30

People aren't making fun of the existing names individually they sound fine but together they sound like a business.

If Op doesn't want them to sound like a business she needs to break the surname theme, be careful what she chooses from the 3rd child. Adding a 3rd surname will reinforce the business vibe.

I’m not sure where this flood of defensiveness on behalf of the OP is coming from. I’m not ‘fondly imagining’ anything. I don’t have to.

What the OP does with that information is up to her.

I think it’s because people are making fun of the op’s existing children’s names. You’re right that the whole point of the names forum is for people to give honest opinions on potential names for future children without having to be tactful, exactly as you say. However, making fun of the names of the op’s real-life children feels very mean and rude.

hattie43 · 23/10/2024 07:22

I take it you're American OP.

FFSWherearemyglasses · 23/10/2024 07:17

Jimberley ? 🤔

ItalianChineseIndianMexican · 23/10/2024 06:34

I love Sloane! Miller is nice too.

I think stick with your (albeit unintentional) surname theme.

I love Lincoln or Lester for a boy.

Girls are trickier- Taylor or Darcy maybe?

Congrats OP!

Or so you fondly imagine...

If you really are privy to other people's thoughts, I hope you're making millions from that superpower.

Well, Mn isn’t a separate universe, so there will be people in your children’s lives having the same thoughts but not expressing them, so maybe think about that?

No babe, we're being honest. You're considering names that will make people laugh at your children, we are trying to point this out to you. Mumsnet is brutally honest, ask a question and don't get pissy because you're not just getting gushy enthusiasm. Unless you want your kids to sound like the firm in Suits, choose something less 'surname' for your third.

No hun, there's a difference between honesty and meanness. You've crossed that line, and the "brutal honesty" you're clapping yourself on the back for is just a bad case of rudeness.

This thread is absolutely batshit. Especially those seriously chiming in with names of shitty bits of London/Kent. My favourite has to be Briar though, as in the bramble thickets that rats nest in. 😂
