help my friend name her baby

[dowotmakesuhappy]

My friend is 4 days over due with a surprise baby.

She already has Montgomery Franklin 'Monty', Willoughby Stirling 'Will', Honeysuckle Temperance and Bramwell Marshall 'Bram'

Husband wants Huckleberry Thurston, friend is worried it's too out there and would prefer Sylvester Thurston but isn't sure what short name he woud go by. Other ideas are Peregrine 'Perry' and Archibald 'Archie'

For a girl Evangeline Constance , Clementine Annabelle and Florentine Constance are the contenders.

Friend is sitting with me as I write this .

It's like an Agatha Christie novel

Is this a piss take ?

A piss take? No why? Genuine post I promise!

Jayden Kai for a boy

Lulabelle Tia for a girl

I like Huck. Although not sure I would because of rhyming potential.

I like Archie as well.

Percival? Percy.

Poor kid.

Yes the names are a little different but they are names that have been around for decades, not made up names. If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all. My friend is asking for advice and not to be insulted.

I’m not sure why your friend thinks Huckleberry is too out there when her daughter is called Honeysuckle!

I met a boy called Huckleberry the other week and it just seemed awful-Sylvester would end up as Sly. Archibald is ok.

The girls names are ok apart from Florentine.

Huckle berry is too out there ..but sylvestor and honeysuckle are tame?

Jayden Kai

I hate girls names that are cutesy and the nn is cutesy too. What if she wants to be a lawyer or a lorry driver? At least the boys names can be shortened to something vaguely normal.

nobody would call their daughter 'Honeysuckle' unless they were broken.
that poor child.

What are the actual choices?

I like the girls names, minus the one tht sounds like a toothpaste brand

Genevive

Honor

Alexandria

Desiree

not desiree

Please no more Jayden's!!!

Huckleberry 'Huck' Thurston is much better than Sylvester Thurston. What about Humphrey Thurston? The first two girls names are the best I think. I associate Florentines with Christmas chocolates.

I actually quite like the name Thurston.
Plus autocorrect doesn't change it to anything weird

I agree about the rhyming potential with Huck although I'm sure some could pull it off

For a boy, how about:
Hector
Heath
Henry
Hugh
Samuel
Silas
Seth
Percival / Percy
Perry (as a standalone name)
Arthur
Ernest

For the girls, Evangeline is OK. As is Constance. I quite like Annabel, without the additional unnecessary -le added to the end.

Lucia
Lina
Caroline
Clarissa
Cordelia
Flora
Eleanor
Evanthe
Leonor
Marina

I don't like Archie. I think Perry is really nice.

I like Clementine most out of your girls names.

For everyone wondering if this is a 'real' post, the OP has asked for advice on these names, not comments devoid of any comment on the names suggested

Peregrine is the only nice boys name. What about florentina instead of florentine?

I think the ''out there ship" has well and truly left the dock, so I think Huckleberry will be fine

I'd advise your friend to go back to the drawing board. It's not fair to call a kid any of those names.
