Siblings are Caroline Stellina and Renee Charlotte. Some names DH and I have (finally) agreed on for the shortlist are:

Victoria
Tiana
Grace
Juliet
Helena

Joel
George
Scott
Ellis
Nicholas

Which are your favourites? Trying to narrow down the list to 2 for each gender as we don't have long left before little one will arrive.

Middle name will most likely be one of the following family names:
Josef, Wilhelm, Alexander. Maria, Mirabella, Elise, Grace.

TIA

Victoria - yes
Tiana - no. Is it Tie-anna or Tee-Ahn-uh
Grace - yes but popular
Juliet - No. Don't like Jools
Helena - Yes

Joel - Yes but is it Jo-El or Jole?
George -yes
Scott - dated
Ellis - yes
Nicholas -yes

Josef - yes
Wilhelm - no
Alexander - yes
Maria - yes
Mirabella - No but Mirabelle is nice. Doesn't go with the first names
Elise - no
Grace - very common as a middle name

Victoria- like it but wouldn’t use as I don’t like Vicky
Tiana- awful, sorry
Grace- like it, classic but I think better as a middle name
Juliet- love this, my favourite by far
Helena- also very nice

Joel- meh, makes me think American man in his 20s/30s
George- love it but very popular
Scott- ok, maybe a bit dated
Ellis- don’t like it, heard it on several girls recently (I’m in the US) and it’s the mother in grey’s anatomy
Nicholas- love this too, probably my favourite as you hear it a bit less than George

As for middle names other then Mirabella which is quite frilly all your choices are lovely and there’s no bad choice.

Sophronia · 08/06/2018 14:18

Victoria Elise, Juliet Maria or Helena Grace

Joel Alexander or Nicholas Wilhelm

daisypond · 08/06/2018 17:43

(probably either Grace or Helena as first choice)
Victoria - OK
Tiana - hmm
Grace - Yes. Much prefer it as a first name and not as a middle name.
Juliet - Yes
Helena - Yes. But people will pronounce it differently.

(Probably Nicholas as first choice)
Joel - OK.
George - OK, but royal family connection puts me off.
Scott - possibly dated but it's growing on me the more I think about it.
Ellis - yes
Nicholas - yes

George Alexander and Victoria Grace would be my picks.

Thanks all. Awesome to see all the love for Helena, as it is definitely one of my favourites. After some deliberation, I think that DH and I have narrowed down our girls names to Helena Grace or Tatiana/Tiana (Tee-ah-na) Elise, which DH would quite like to honour his late grandmother Tatiana. We have also narrowed down to Nicholas Wilhelm/Josef or Joel Alexander for a boy. Joel pronounced Jole by the way, which is the only way I have ever heard it.

Only a week until the due date, so I guess it's just a waiting game to see what suits our LO. Throughout the whole pregnancy, Caroline has actually been referring to the baby as 'Ben or Holly', so I guess we have a good set of backups if nothing suits Grin Wink
