Yes sorry, I’ve just let the thread run. Lots of great suggestions but most I probably wouldn’t use. Other names I like and would consider are Astrid and Greta for a girl and Hugo and Edward (Eddie) for a boy. With two very long names already I need something shorter lol

I love Astrid and Edward

If we have another girl she will be Persephone

Amelia/Emilia..."uh MEALY uh'. An ugly sound.
Amelia means absence of limbs, so definitely not.

Juniper looks nice but it's the "nipper" sound in it that puts me off.

I am so jealous. I called my first cat Ophelia as I loved the name so much but knew at that time it might not be a wise choice as a child’s name so the cat got it to take it off the table. Similarly Desdemona.
I am still sad I didn’t have a third boy to call Gregor.

Stella for a girl

Alexander or Edward for a boy as they both have a few different shortenings like Xand/Alex Ned/Ed/woody if you CBA with lots of syllables!

HambleTheDoll · 26/09/2026 18:55

xanthe

greglet · 26/09/2026 18:48

Cecilia or Camilla

LinearALinearB · 26/09/2026 17:59

If you go for a short name for number three they might feel a bit shortchanged.

LinearALinearB · 26/09/2026 17:57

Clementine

Augustine

Snugglemonkey · 26/09/2026 17:55

Or Felicity or Fenella

I love this name as well. It’s just so long and saying the other two names is already such a mouthful. Maybe Vivi for short x

Show quote history

So long as your Genevieve doesn't get Vivi, which some do.

I love these names but have always felt Aurelia is too similar to Ophelia x

Show quote history

I think it is too similar as well.

I don't think Greta or Astrid go particularly well with Genevieve and Ophelia, though they go well together.
