So far if its a boy we have Finley or Thomas and I do like Melissa Rose or Beatrice but need some suggestions. Our surname is Glaiser if that makes any difference.

Isaac and Oscar both lovely.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 17/02/2013 19:48

Not overfond of Seren tbh.

forevergreek · 17/02/2013 19:49

Estelle? It also means star

eatyourveg · 17/02/2013 19:56

Rufus Benjamin and Tabitha Alice though Eleanor and Madeline would both work with Alice too

OP, Seren is a lovely name but I'm not convinced that it's the best sibling choice for Jennifer: Seren sounds too funky to my ears, whereas Jennifer is the Cornish equivalent of the Welsh Guinevere ... I'm just not sure that Jennifer and Seren sound right.

Thats what I wasn't sure about with Seren. I love it but not quite sure it goes. Why is this so hard? Grin

Naming is hard!

If you do love the name Seren, don't be put off for the mentioned reasons. Your children are not a set; you don't have to give them names that match. There's nothing wrong with Jennifer and Seren, nothing at all.

Best of luck!
