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

Love Roscoe @Awwlookatmybabyspider

EmpressaurusDeiGatti · 22/10/2024 19:20

Henley regatta.

If we’re going for English place names, twin boys could be Biggleswade & Basingstoke.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 22/10/2024 19:12

Sloane, Miller and for a girl Delaney is gorgeous. Henley is nice but for a girl rather than a boy.

For a boy Sloane, Miller and Roscoe.

@Needanewname42 no not really. I didn't ask for anyone's opinion on my children's names I asked for suggestions on names.

Some people are just being damn right rude.

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.

Is the whole point of asking on MN not so you get honest answers?

People in RL won't want to offend or upset so they'll say things are "lovely" or "nice" even if they walk away thinking "OMG how ridiculous?"

Show quote history

That's only your opinion though, isn't it?

You actually have no idea what anyone else is thinking. For all you know - and brace yourself because this thought may not have occurred to you before - they might say 'lovely' because they mean it, and walk away thinking the parents had wonderful taste.

It's almost as if everyone could have a different taste in names than yours. Mind blowing, I know...

Mipil · 22/10/2024 15:00

Tre or Trey for a boy as it he would be number 3?

SatinHeart · 22/10/2024 10:53

Deacon for a boy?

I like Quinn but prefer it for girls

TwigletsAndRadishes · 22/10/2024 10:34

God, not Delaney. It just makes me think of Delaney's Donkey.

Archer is the best from your boys list. I don't like any from the girls list.

For a boy:
Oakley
Jensen
Bay
Quinn
Dorian

For a girl:

Brodie
Avery
Mallory
Robyn
Quinn

Thank you for the earworm, @TwigletsAndRadishes.😱

Exactly. And my 'honest answer' is that most of the names the OP (and many posters) are suggesting are ridiculous or daft. And I would NEVER give a child a lifetime of many of these names suggested!

Don't ask on a public message forum if you're going to get salty, and butthurt if you get responses you don't find favourable, and then call people 'nasty' and 'cruel' for giving you an honest opinion.

PumpkinScarf · 22/10/2024 10:27

Brontë or Spencer

NZDreaming · 22/10/2024 10:24

@PennyLane335
girl - morgan, Cameron, James, Riley
boy - miles, Ashton, Dax

I agree, your children’s names are lovely and , anyway, it’s incredibly rude to comment negatively on names of existing children (unless specifically asked to). It would be very boring if we all used the same names.

Yes this. Your friends and family won't want to offend so will just go along with whatever while thinking "wtf" Confused poor kid".
At least on here you'll get a reality check and an idea of the reaction it will have in real life - like in the Tate example!

AlexaSetATimer · 22/10/2024 10:15

@TheDeepLemonHelper I know exactly where you live Grin

shoopshoopdedoo · 22/10/2024 10:13

We don’t share the same taste in names at all, but I do love Lennie (prefer Leni) for a girl!

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 22/10/2024 10:10

I like cash actually.

Very upmarket. My niece is getting married there in summer, and it's gorgeous.

Sloan's is the oldest pub in Glasgow, quite an upmarket pub, but still a public house.

Op still needs to be careful with what she calls the next child. Or they will sound like a business of some description.
