Thanks for all of your great suggestions. I agree that an "ee" sounding ending/nickname might be a bit too repetitive. I love Monty and Clemmie but can't use them for that reason. Current favorites are:

Girls:

Violet
Olive
Clara

Boys:

Max (Maximilian)
George
Hamish
Angus
Rupert
Rufus

although my husband isn't keen on the latter two.

I love the suggestion of Wildfred, but we often call our son Alf, so Wilf and Alf might be a bit too similar.

Our Alfie is named after Alfie and Annie Rose, but we already have an Annie Rose in the family. We also have a few of the other suggestions, so can't use those - despite being lovely.

I love Clara and Max - they would actually be my top choices if I had a baby tomorrow 😁

George was my first thought for a boy

Clara is lovely for a girl and goes well with the other two names
Violet is nice too but Lettie as a nickname wouldn’t work so you’d have to go Vi if you wanted a nickname which isn’t as nice

Yes, another "ie" ending would be a bit sillie.
I'd give the next child a strong short name.

Show quote history

Definitely agree - maybe
Eva

Wilfred goes perfectly.

Francesca or Georgina fit well too.

We have two children called Henrietta and Alfred who have been known as Hettie and Alfie since birth. We’re expecting a third (gender unknown) and I’m really struggling with names. Any suggestions?

Lovely names- congratulations! I think a single syllable nn or triple to offset the two doubles would be nice. So

I like Edward- Ted/Ed
Sebastian- Seb or full name
Joseph- Joe
wilfred- Wilf

Rosemary- Rose
Arabella- Belle/Bella/Ari
Josephine- Jo
Tabitha- Tabby
Florence- Flo
