DD is Connie - what should her brother or sister be called

25 replies

DD is 2 and due a brother or sister in August. We're stuck for names. Her full name is Constance but she never called this, always Connie. We're based in Scotland if that makes any difference, but not actually Scottish so would feel silly using Scottish names.

Boys- Cameron, William (Will), Alfred, Samuel, James or Jim, Euan or Ewan, Ivan, Ivor, Toby, Joseph (Connie and Joe sounds cute)

Girls (if you want to do the longer name with nickname thing to match Constance/Connie) - Elizabeth (Lizzie/Elsie/Ellie), Leonora (Lenny), Eleanor (Ellie), Rosalie/Rosalind/Rosalyn/Rosalee/Rosamund (Rose or Rosie), Catherine or Caitlin (Caty), Josephine (Josie), Genevieve (Ginny), Annabelle/Annalynn/Annabeth (Annie), Emmeline (Emmy)

Or Nancy, Maggie (maybe political connotations no good!), Cara, Alice, Elspeth, Mabel, also Lorna and Iona which I love both of but are Scottish so you might not be keen?

Personally I think Connie & Will, Connie & Joe and Connie & Alfred are lovely for boy/girl

And girl/girl I like Connie & Rose, Connie & Elspeth, Connie & Lorna and Connie & Eleanor

Raines100 · 28/05/2015 17:28

Ooo Connie and Will sound meant to be- unless OP hates it of course.

Matilda for a sister? Connie & Tilly?
Millicent/Millie?
Martha, Tabitha or Tess- all have similar feel to me.

My dd (4) is Jessie and I'm expecting again, if it's a girl she will be Connie (Constance) too. My grandmother was called Jessie and her sister Connie.

Our old dog was called Connie so on that basis your DD should be called Sadie as that is the name of out new dog. I am stumped if it is boy.
