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 .

I love Evangeline.

Doesn't Bear Grylls have a son called Huckleberry? I quite like it and prefer it to Sylvester.

Not sure why people think Evangeline or Clementine are 'our there'. Both quite well known I thought.

I think Huckleberry is too close in sound to Honeysuckle.

Huckleberry & Honeysuckle are the names of my cats.

By the by.

I'd rather be called Jayden than be called Honeysuckle.

All of these names are absolutely awful.

Please tell them to get a fucking grip.

Hahahah

I actually quite like Huckleberry! But it does sound a bit too similar to Honeysuckle.

Although I refuse to believe anyone actually has a daughter called Honeysuckle.

I know a 7 year old called Jonah huckleberry. He goes by the name of Hucky. It actually really suits him and I quite like it as a name. It is a 'kid' nn though I think. I can't really see an adult Hucky. As it happens he has a younger brother who is also called Willoughby!

For a girl, I'd definitely go with Clementine. It's a lovely name and can be shortened to Clemmie when small and Clem when older. Although I'm sure there are more possibilitis for nn too.
Op, tell your friend I think her kid's names are fantastic. I love originality with names without being too out there. Tell her good luck with the new baby too!

I do know somebody who has Honeysuckle as a middle name.

Peregrine Thurston
Evangeline Constance

They go well with the other kids' names. Perry and Eva are pretty normal sounding for everyday use. Congrats to your pal!

Has nobody heard of Honeysuckle Weeks??

Thank you to those of you who have actually been kind about the names. Those who haven't, how about you share your kids names so we can take the piss too?

I love Huckleberry!

And Clementine is by far the nicest name on the list.

Archibald is really awful imo.

Huckleberry is quite cool. I think Bear Grylls has one.

Huckleberry is lovely. Sylvester would be shortened to Syl probably. What about Buckley? Love Archie too.

I adore Peregrine

I like all the names and I like the names of all the DC as well. I'm surprised that people aren't aware of Honeysuckle Weeks.
Huckleberry has a great literary predecessor and I can see the appeal. I wouldn't be brave enough myself to use it, though. Maybe as a middle name? All the other boys' name suggestions are fine, too. Sylvester is often shortened to Sly - think Sylvester "Sly" Stallone - but I don't think that's great. Vester? Silver?

Huckleberry FAR too close to Honeysuckle.

Woodrow Thurston nn Woody.

It's not too outhouse there at all, gives the Nn Huck which is cute. Your friend may also like Percival Nn Percy?

Out there silly phone!!

Baby Clementine Florence was born today at 5.35pm

Ahh congratulations! Lovely name x

Congratulations to your friend, op!
I love her name. Clementine is lovely and Florence is the name we would have used had we had a dd.

Awww OP! Congratulations to your friend, lovely name x

Congratulations! Great choice, and all the names of the children are fabulous 😘
