Opinions on our final list please as baby is here!

[dreamingofwineandcheese]

Our beautiful baby girl was born yesterday, we had pretty much sorted a boys name but girls names we have found so much harder!

DH and DS both have names beginning with B and our surname starts with a B too, their names work really well with this combination.

We both really like Beatrice but we don't know if it's too matchy for the DC to have first names with the same letter, also her middle name would likely to be Anne (my mother's middle name as DM has passed away, her name was Jacqueline but don't want the initials B J!) so the children would have the exact same initials, is this too much or am I over thinking? Evelyn is also a possible middle name.

As it stands this is our final list, opinions please:

Beatrice Anne
Beatrice Evelyn
Alice Jacqueline
Matilda Jacqueline

What are your thoughts?

Love Matilda. Beatrice just reminds me of that big toothed Royal, sorry I'd probably use Matilda Anne/Jacqueline.

Congratulations by the way

Beatrice and Matilda are both lovely names.

I really love Beatrice. Mine are late teens/20's but would have been Beatrice if girls.
But sadly I have to say no to the matchy matchy initials. It can cause so many problems when older, believe me.

I love Alice Jacqueline or how about Alice Evelyn?

I really love Alice Jacqueline.
I don't like Beatrice much personally. Never 100% sure how to pronounce it, it always ends up sounding like beer-triss to me which I don't think is a nice sound!

Alice Evelyn. Congrats to you.

Beatrice Evelyn Anne would avoid the same initials thing, which could be a nightmare in practicality. Just Evelyn Anne would be lovely too.

I like Alice best congrats

Of all the names I like Evelyn best, Beatrice is great though.

Congratulations on your lovely baby girl!!

Alice is a name that I just don't like, which is totally irrational I know, and we have loads of them in our social circle .

I prefer Beatrice to Matilda.

I'm going to say Beatrice Anne as Beatrice Evelyn seems a wee bit unwieldy.

They are all beautiful
Congratulations

I actually really like Jacqueline

I like Alice Jacqueline or Matilda Jacqueline.

Not too fond of Beatrice, tbh, nor the matchy initials.

Congratulations btw.

I like Beatrice Anne and Alice Jacqueline.

Definitely Alice.

Beatrice Anne works. The rest are a mouthful

I like the sound of Alice Anne.

Thanks very much for your replies.

After a day of going back and forth we decided on Matilda Jacqueline and now we have chosen it it seems to really suit her and has gone down well with family and friends.

We didn't want to use Evelyn as a first name as we have friends with a little one called that who we see a lot of and it as it's not that popular I thought it didn't feel right. It is my lovely Grandmothers name though so I love it! Also a friend has an Alice which put me off that too in the end!

We then decided that having another B name sounded too matchy so there we are!!

Congrats lovely name

Congrats! Love the name Matilda.
