Shortlist for DC3 - thoughts please!

[Bicnod]

DC3 due in December. Sibling to older brothers Oscar Matthew and James Douglas.

If another boy will have middle name David and if girl will have middle names Alice Eva (all family names).

Current favourites are:

Benjamin (nn Ben or Benji)
Rafferty (nn Raffy or Raff)
Jack
Henry/Harry

Sadie
Elizabeth (nn Bess)
Martha

Thoughts/other suggestions welcome!

TIA

I think Henry David would be lovely! Not too sure on the girls names as I'm a big fan of more untraditional girls names but the middle names are lovely :) if we have another girl, her middle name will be Alice :)

Rafferty and Martha.

I love the name Sadie but I don't think it goes very well with the middle names you want to use.

Rafferty is bad. Not keen on Sadie.

I love Benjamin and Martha

Love Sadie.

All your names are fine.

My offerings:

Nancy
Tessa
Stella
Elizabeth but nn Libby

Rufus
Louis
Freddie

Martha and Henry. I know a 4 year old Henry; he's soooo cute-and teeny tiny. He gets called "wee hen" and it suits him well!!!

Do you like other nicknames of Elizabeth? And will the nn Bess be her day to day name?

If Bess is all she is known as I doubt you will have a problem. But if it is 'just' a nn I think you need to be ok if she uses another - like Liz or Lizzie- later.

Benjamin and Martha.

Thanks for input so far.

Martha very popular on here then!

Rafferty is definitely a marmite name, not sure be brave enough to use it even though I love it.

With Elizabeth, Bess would be the only name we used from day one. But fully appreciate other nicknames would probably evolve and I like the majority of them.

Raffi suddenly seems very popular!

Martha/Henry
