6 letters and 9 letters

Can this be done?

My first 2 DC both have first names which are 6 letters long and middle names which are 9 letters long.

Can I continue the trend with DC3??

I already like Finlay which is six letters but stumped for ideas for everything else and need a boy and girl variation!

If nothing works I guess I'll have to start a new trend for DC3!

Ideas appreciated Thanks!

Did you want 6 letter names too? Or are you set on Finlay for boy or girl?

FleeBee · 02/04/2011 21:31

Thanks for the suggestions.

I like Finlay for a boy, but really, really need six letter girl name.

Quite like Finlay and Sebastian for a boy.

Thanks for your help, any other suggestions??

Some interesting six letter names, perhaps it can be done.

I think I know about 10 friends called Claire. Makes my address book quite tricky, so I'll skip Claire. I do know a Claire Elizabeth too!

Never heard Zinnia before! Isabel is quite popular amongst children I know. Will have another think about it.

So have possible Girl six letters:
Saskia
Sophia
Eloise
Zinnia

Nine letters:
Francesca
Elizabeth
Katherine
Josephine

Boy six letters:
Finlay (any others?)

Boy Nine letters:
Frederick
Sebastian

Isn't it a bit.....erm....unusual to choose your dc name by the number of letters and/or to want to match them with their siblings? Do the current 6 and 9 have the same number of syllables too as this might be more significant?

FleeBee · 02/04/2011 22:23

Yes, you're right it's bonkers to to match siblings by the number of letters in their names. It all got out of hand after DC2, and now I don't want the third to feel left out.

This all makes me sound slightly barking, but perhaps it can be done given all the suggestions so far!

Althea or Monica ?

FebreezeYourJeans · 02/04/2011 22:41

FleeBee the pregnancy hormones are out of control. DC3 will not be left out, it will never, ever occur to them to wonder why they have a different number of letters in their name, I promise Grin

Breathe and choose a name you love otherwise you'll have to explain to DC3 that you 'chose' their name from a v short shortlist purely because it had to have the right number of letters.

Oh, Ye Gods, now I'm just encouraging you Grin

surelynotnormal · 02/04/2011 22:56

Just realised I have a freaky el motif going on in all of their names too.

Oh, if we'd had a DS he would have been Joseph Smile

FebreezeYourJeans · 02/04/2011 23:02

Well, mine are scarred for life, just counted them up

DD1 5 5
DS1 3 5 6
DS2 5 5

Can't decide if dc1 and dc3 will hate dc2 for having an extra name, or if dc2 will be ostracised by the others for his lack of 5 5 formation. Either way, I sure have buggered this naming thing up Grin
