NC for this as have friends on here and we are going for FET for number 2 imminently.

(Not getting hopes up, but nice to think of names) we already have DD who is 2 which luckily worked first time.

For reference John James are family names but not too fussed and I know James can be a bit of a filler name.

Boys names:
Morgan James
Perry Alexander
Archie James
Finlay George
Rudi James
Frankie John James

Girls:
Harriet Rae (nn Hattie)
Lottie Rae (not Charlotte, just Lottie)
Martha Rae
Bonnie Rae

Also, thoughts on James as a middle name for a girl? I think it could possible be quite cool but it'll probably sound like a double barrelled surname.

Suggestions welcome!

Surname is Carter so lucky that it will go with most things.

Rudi James Carter also has a nice ring to it

Beatrix Rae Carter

Girls:
I have absolutely fallen in love with Lottie Rae if I ever have another daughter I know that’s what she will be called! Going with the Rae idea I thought of some other options. Isabella Rae, Suri Rae, Livi Rae ❤️. I also think Mabel Carter, Emily Carter, Alisha Carter are quite nice!
boys: I love Perry James Carter!! It works as well as Lottie Rae Carter!! I thought of Finlay Christopher Carter, Oliver James Carter, Morgan Robbie Carter!

I work in early years and we have LOTS of Archies and a fair few Frankies . Mostly the Archies have been quite sweet and the Frankies quite naughty so bear in mind they are popular names.
I like Finlay (but I think it will be shortened to Fin) and Rudy. I love Alexander it's timeless.

I like Lottie and Martha, but really not keen on Rae.

marthasmum · 07/02/2024 22:29

I think Martha Rae Carter is a great name, but as you can see I’m biased. I also think Mabel is a lovely suggestion.

Marnie Rae / Marnie Rose
