Thoughts on our final names?

[Noodle1234]

Our daughter is Felicity Pearl. We don't know if this one is a boy or girl yet, but definitely our last baby. What do you think of our final names?

Seraphina Willow

Willem Lachlan

I love Felicity Pearl and Willem Lachlan! What gorgeous names! I do love Willow, but I don't really like Seraphina quite as much as your other choices, though it is a nice name.

I prefer Willow Seraphina and I think Willow and Felicity go better together but they're both lovely

Are you Dutch/ Scottish? If not, the boy's name seems an odd choice to me.

Seraphina Willow is very pretty (would you want to shorten Seraphina though? Because there is a danger that bothe Seraphina and Felicity could end up being shortened by friends to Fee? Even something like Flick and Phina might be a bit similar sounding?)

I don't really like Willem. Love William though. Not sure why I feel so differently about them.

I love Seraphina, it's an absolutely beautiful name.

Willow is lovely as a middle name. I wouldn't risk using it as a first name unless you were fairly certain she was going to be tall & slim, ie willowy!

I also like Willem, but I think it'd get confused with William a lot which might be annoying.

I like Willem.

Perhaps because I used to have a crush on Willem Dafoe I have a thing for unusual looking men.

Willow is a beautiful name and would have that as a first name and Seraphina as the middle name.

Seraphina Willow sounds like a romantic heroine straight out of a Barbara Cartland book

How are you going to shorten Seraphina?

No

Loving all these comments, thank you.

Felicity's nn is Fliss. For Seraphina we'd probably go with Seffy or Phina.

I am Scottish raised in England, so legitimate heritage there ;) No Dutch heritage but not bothered by that so much, just prefer Willem to William as it's a stronger sounding name (and wouldn't be pronounced wool-yum by my family lol).

All thoughts and comments very much appreciated.

To add - even love the Barbara Cartland comment - that made me laugh. Obviously can't say I agree with you ;)

Lovely names.

I think normal william is nicer and he would end up with nane being incorrectly spelt his whole life.

No keen on the the girls names 🙈

Love Willemstad Lachlan.
Like both Seraphina and Willow but the two together sounds quite fairy woodland-ish to me, I'd probably pair one of those with something else more similar to Felicity, which I think is a lovely, classic girls name. But they are both very pretty!

Willem not Willemstad - what is that anyway??!!

Seraphina is lovely! My DS knows one who's known as Phinny.

Ha, yes, my surname is Williamson and is very often pronounced "Wuw yum sun" by Scots, particularly Glaswegians. I am Scottish but a bit posh so don't say it like that.

I really like both first names. Seraphina in particular is lovely

Less keen on your choices for middle names, but in a 'wouldn't pick them myself' kinda way rather than 'oh my god poor child' IYKWIM!
