WDYT Nell or Jude as a sibling to...

[JanuaryJuniper]

Eli and Aphra??

We will be finding out the sex of this little one next week and have (after lots of back and forth and changing of minds) settle on Nell for a dd and Jude for a ds.

We know we love the names so not really looking for opinions on what you think of the names themselves but rather how you think they work together with our other dc names.

I love your names and think they go well together.

They're lovely and go well with your existing names!

Lovely names and go well with the other two

I really love all your names! Lovely choices.

The only thing I might suggest I see maybe Penelope or maybe Helena on the bc for Nell? Though I love Nell on its own too. Also love Nia which is sort of similar.

roackaby by dh would love you for your suggestion of Penelope which I wouldn't be totally adverse to but I have some reservations. One being I feel it's to long next to Eli and Aphra. Also I think it may have become very popular due to the Kardashians. Also I'm kinda a put whatever you are going to call them everyday on the birth cert sorta gal

But I wouldn't strike off the idea completely yet!

Too long
Not
To long

Oh I really wouldn't worry about it being longer than the others. My brother has a one syllable name and my sister and I both have three syllable names. I hadn't noticed that till now as it really hasn't been an issue. I think Eli, Aphra and Penelope sounds very nice.

Obviously if you don't like Penelope, that's a different matter.

Love them both. Fab choices OP and nice to see someone else who doesn't feel the need for a birth certificate name

notso

I don't feel the "need" for a bc name. I just think it can be nice to have options sometimes . It totally depends on the names of course and I'd never choose a longer name I didn't like just because I thought there "needed" to be a long name on the bc.

Love the names and think they both go really well with your DCs' names.

I love Nell. Gorgeous and not overused.

Thanks for the positive feedback so far

We are getting very excited as this time next week we will already know what it is (if baby cooperates that is)

Love them both. Simple yet striking.

Both good names and go well with Eli and Aphra.

They both work well with your older DC's names.

Eli, Aphra & Nell doesn't flow as well when I say it compared to Eli, Aphra & Jude. It's just a minor issue for me & Nell is such a pretty name. I wouldn't worry about the mumsnet obsession with picking a longer name for the birth certificate either. If you like a name then use it.

I don't think you need to worry too much about how the names flow, unless you see them performing in a folk trio when they're older

PMSL @ folk trio

Those names actually would be FABULOUS for a folk trio.

They're great, OP. I love all three. Just a side note in case you're averse to popular names, I do know a few little Judes.

I'm so jealous! I wanted Nell and Aphra on our list but DH vetoed both!

ArseyTussle yeah I would prefer not too popular however we are not in the UK, I know Jude is popular enough in the U.K. It's not even in the top100 where we live.
