Sister for Genevieve and Wilfred

I am expecting number 3 in the next couple of months and DH and I cannot agree on a girls name. We do not know the sex of the baby but have a boys name we agree on.

We already have Genevieve (nn Ginny) and Wilfred. Keen for a name that have nickname options as well as a longer, formal name. Not keen on very popular names (for example I LOVE Elspeth but find Elsie too popular now). Would love to hear your suggestions!

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I love Beatrice (Bea).

Constance (Connie) or Cora would go nicely with your two.

I've met Persephone and Seraphina both known as Seffy

Ginny and Wilf were my great granny’s siblings. Based on that I’d say Beatrice (after great granny AKA Bea) and they could be a tribute act.

How about Lettie short for Letitia or Violet

Arlanymor · 12/03/2026 15:57

Gwendolyn or Evangeline. (Gwen and Evvy).

What lovely names you have chosen for your other children, really nice.
