Sibling for Sloane and Miller

236 replies

PennyLane335 · 21/10/2024 19:09

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

Well, I assume the OP posted on here for frank opinions, rather than ask her friends and family.

OP, not Archer if you’ve already got a Miller. All you need is Carter and Fletcher to sound like a medieval village cosplay.

Cooper, Thatcher, Gongfermer....

Gardner?! When has Gardner been a name? Would anyone really want to be called that, what next Cleaner, Plumber?

(Yes I know spelling is different but the sound is the same).

People and their parents can regret any name. Anne, Jane, Emily, Robert, George, Edward, whatever...

For "saddle your child with a name that they'll/you'll regret," I think you meant to say, "give your child a name I don't approve of".

I would probably go for something that didn't make them sound like a firm of solicitors, so that's all your boys' names and half your girls names out.

I once had an American colleague called Bramley, which I rather liked. Wholesome, like apples!
I like strong names, particularly for girls.

@Sandysandwich ahh Sutton is perfection! Blush

I’m guessing you’re in the states OP? No one in the UK (this is predominantly a UK site) would call their kid Sutton - bit of a drab, grotty suburb of London. Does give RHOBH vibes though! But Sutton Stracke is an awful person.

FWIW (worried my first para sounds mean, was just giving context!) I actually love Sloane and Miller, if I was in the states my kids would be called things like Cassidy and Blaire. My grandmother is Avery.

Surely only the very rude and badly brought up would laugh like that?

And also those pearl clutching Brits who make a habit of virtue signalling their patriotic disapproval of all things they imagine to be 'American'?

Since when has it been advisable to pander to the ignorant and the unmannerly?

Completely agree

Took the words right out of my mouth.

No need to get salty @PennyLane335 Sloane and Miller sounds exactly like a firm of solicitors.

I really don't like most of your choices of boys names, and I would say you do you. But you are choosing a name for someone else. Please think about this before you saddle a boy with an awful name like Devlin or Cash!

Show quote history

Agreed. Op you do need to be careful because they are in danger of sounding like a couple of pubs, like Slones, Miller & Carter. If they don't sound like a business partnership.

Cove was gaining ground in the US for a while - probably some confluence of the popularity of bodies-of-water names like Bay, Lake, River etc. and peace/shelter-oriented names like Dove, Eden and Haven. But I think COVID talked most parents out of it.

@mathanxiety
' For "saddle your child with a name that they'll/you'll regret," I think you meant to say, "give your child a name I don't approve of". '

A name I don't approve of? No, a set of names that will make people laugh, either openly or behind their backs. Why would anyone knowing give their child a name that could make them a target for mockery??

Surely only the very rude and badly brought up would laugh like that?

And also those pearl clutching Brits who make a habit of virtue signalling their patriotic disapproval of all things they imagine to be 'American'?
