Sibling for Lyla and Oscar?

37 weeks pregnant and no name!
I like Astrid or Rufus but DH does not.
Other possibilities include:
Jane (dh not keen)
Zoe
Finn
The bottom two are quite popular which would annoy me a bit.
Any ideas?

Kit is like lovely and on the list but not sure about Christopher as the birth cert name.
I like Ivy too.
Thanks for the ideas.

Justin is nice. I'm going to push for Astrid if it's a girl and maybe Torin if it's a boy. I'll probably change my mind again 😬

@Sleepyhead21 my little boy's name on his b c is Kit Edward "surname"
I am not keen on Christopher as a full name either, but I don't think these days you need to worry 😊

The other two end in an A/er sound. It's slightly odd, though fine, if your third doesn't, might feel like an also ran. Think about it for a middle name at least.

So Christopher and Stella work. So does Francesca, masses of girls' names, Catriona..Antonia, Rosanna, Elfrida etc.

Caspar
Arthur
Baldur
Timor
Ivor

I was going to suggest Arthur too! I think it'd go really well

Rufus
Ted
Caspar

Astrid
Estelle
Clementine

We have an Oscar, and the names I've suggested are either sibling names or names I would use the next time!

Sleepyhead21 · 09/06/2017 00:52

I love Jude but know a few. Rufus is my first choice boys name but I don't think I'll get anywhere with that as DH is vehemently opposed. I will discuss Kit with him.
Hopefully I can convince him of Astrid's appeal if it's a girl. I love Clementine too.
I don't mind if the names sound the same but would like them to have a similar feeling to them.

Erm, Rufus or Astrid and bang on perfect with your other children's names. Your DC just have to come round! :) Sorry not very helpful, but I can't top those.

Sleepyhead21 · 09/06/2017 12:48

McLaren you're right. I will show him this thread as proof Grin
