Short boy and girl names for #3

My brain is hurting.
It's a way off but as baby names seem to be the only things about pregnancy I ever enjoy thought I'd start now.

We are expecting baby number three end of October / beginning of Nov

We have a son called Kit and a daughter called Wren. As we are not finding out, we need to cater for both eventualities.
Criteria are short and something a little unusual / quirky but also sweet.
Please bombard me. I'm driving myself and OH nuts with this already. He's told me to bother someone else...sorry

Inez Joy is FAB!

Love Rory for a boy. And Frey is great. Asa? Pronounced Ace.

Joelle is a girl's name I came across recently which I think is pretty cool.

Ps not so keen on Lenny or Bruce. Neither seem to be riding a 'come back' wave and probably for good reason.
I'm fond of a childhood family friend called Bruce, so I do have nice associations with the name. But we did rather maturely all call him 'Bru the poo'.. Grin

Me again, sorry 🙈

Have kind of narrowed it down to the following names for a girl

Inez
Ava
Alice
Nina

But boys we are still really struggling.

My current favourite is Lawrie which would be his full name and not Lawrence.
OH still obsessed with Bruce but I have said no. Both like Will.
So we are back to square one

So
Lawrie
Will
Fran

That's it. Please throw some more names at me

I really want a unique name for a girl. Does anyone have any good ideas?

Nina is gorgeous: easy to pronounce, multi cultural, timeless yet strong and punchy and sassy. So that's my choice for a girl.

I would spell Laurie as Laurie and I like it. But your boys' names don't seem as inspired as your girls' names.

BertsBlanket · 22/05/2017 12:52

Ivo for a boy

Nora for a girl

Inez Joy is lovely and, from your list, I think Fran goes best with your other DC names.
