Hi😃

I’ve recently found out i’m pregnant with baby number 2!

I have one DD named Charlotte (Charlie), we have a few girl names picked out, but are struggling with boy names, would appreciate any ideas for both sexes.

Girl names we like:
Penelope (Penny)
Daphne
Florence

Boys:
Wilfred (Freddie)
James
Jasper (husband hates this but its my favourite).

Any and all ideas are welcome 😊

Thank you x

I’ve name changed just for this reply but I have a Charlotte who is our oldest and our little one is Lucy. It goes so well together and both are timeless! I also did like Gabriella and Eliza 😊

GladHazelPoster · 14/06/2026 11:47

Clodagh, Cara, Ciara.

Una or Orla maybe.

Maeve is strong.

Florence and James, out of your list.

If I can have a complete free choice, Alice and Matthew.

Bellybellas · 04/06/2026 08:58

I like Charlotte and
Alice for a girl
Quentin for a boy

ElixirOfLife · 03/06/2026 21:12

if you like Rupert you may like Rufus or Royston.

Love all these suggestions. Thank you.

We’ve added Rupert to the serious contenders for boys.

I like Casper, DH unsure. Charlotte & Casper sounds very cute imo.

We both love Anna for a girl but it doesnt flow well or fit with our last name unfortunately.

Alice is lovely too.

Lots to think about and add to our list.

Giraffehaver · 27/05/2026 22:34

Charlotte is quite proper and Charlie cheekier so of your names it would be Wilfred or Florence.
If it were my choice it would be Matilda or Peter

Calliopespa · 27/05/2026 22:30

I don't like Daphne or Jasper.

Others are fine.

Mcdhotchoc · 27/05/2026 22:17

Only go for Wilfred if you are happy for him to go by Wilf!
Otherwise...Sebastian?

luchingar · 27/05/2026 22:15

Mariella could be shorted so Charlie and Ella/ Ellie/ Mari

MumofTinkerbell · 27/05/2026 22:11

Congratulations!

I love Florence , Wilfred and James from your choices.

Have fun choosing and all the best with Charlotte's brother or sister 💐

DinoDances · 27/05/2026 22:03

All good choices.

Names that seem similar to Jasper to me depending on what you like about it; Cassian, Gabriel, Hugo

Cocktailsandcheese · 27/05/2026 20:03

James was my first thought for a boy before I saw your list!

For a girl, Florence is my favourite from your list, but I do like PP suggestion of Phoebe.
