Had our gender scan...

[pixieloux]

We’re having a boy and a girl... Yay!! We’ve ‘paired up’ a few names and would love to know your favourites, as you’ve been such a big help so far... Which is your fave boy’s name and girl’s to go with it? Thanks!

B: Dominic
G: Elodie, Florence, Imogen, Margot*, Penelope or Phoebe

B: Elias
G: Beatrix, Cecily, Felicity, Florence, Imogen, Margot, Penelope or Phoebe*

B: Elijah
G: Beatrix, Cecily, Felicity, Florence, Frances, Imogen, Margot, Penelope or Phoebe*

B: Sebastian
G: Beatrix, Cecily, Edith, Elodie, Felicity, Florence, Frances, Margot*, Penelope or Phoebe

B: Zachary
G: Beatrix*, Edith, Emmeline, Florence, Frances or Margot

*Too much with an older brother, Theo? I guess they would be Margot & Theodore officially, NNs Mari, Maggie, etc & Theo so is it not that bad? I think Maggie may be a stretch as a NN though? We’ve been trying to think of what possible shortened forms can come from the names we like and not getting much with Margot.

**Too many ee sounds together?

Sisters are Aurora (Rora) and Violet (Letty) Thanks!

I like a lot of your names (and congratulations!) With big brother Theodore I'd go for Sebastian and Felicity. To me they 'fit' together without being matchy-matchy.

... just seen your last post. Sebastian and Felicity fit brilliantly with Aurora and Violet too.

Congratulations! Dominic and Imogen are my favourite.

Sebastian and Penelope. Congratulations!

Elijah and Elias are my favourite nn Eli.
I think Florence, Imogen and Phoebe are too popular to go with your other names, I like Felicity but don’t like Flick/Floss. Margot is a bit too close to Theo for me. I like Penelope but only because I like the nn Nell...not a massive fan of Penny really. Cecily and Beatrix are ok but my favourite of all your girls names is Elodie.

Sebastian and Penelope- love that!

Sebastian for a bit and Margot for a girl.

Elijah and Beatrix

Thanks for your opinions so far! T goes by Theo 99% of the time which is what is worrying me with Margot despite loving the name so much. His name was more a compromise between DH and I (I wanted the longer name where as he wanted just Theo so we gave it it on his BC but call him Theo) where as the girls flip flop between their full name and NNs.

Elijah and Cecily.

Elias or Elijah and Beatrix or Florence

I think Theo and Margot are too much. The Margots I know by Margot and Go. Maggie, Greta, Mari are more obviously shortenings for Margaret.

I like all your choices except Cecily which I find extremely frilly, and Elodie which is too close to Letty. They're all pretty long so will inevitably get shortened - I'd avoid Imogen, Felicity and Phoebe for that reason. Dominic/Nic and Sebastian/Basti are nice but Dom and Seb are less so.

I'd choose Dominic with either Imogen or Penelope.

My choices, in order:

Theo, Elijah and Felicity

Theo, Sebastian and Florence

Theo, Dominic and Phoebe

Theo, Zachary and Edith

Theo, Elias and Beatrix

Congratulations!

Sorry, missed your post about the other girls!

Zachary and Emmeline - gorgeous

As oher suggested, Elijah or Elias nn. Eli
Florence for. Girl.

Elias and Imogen/Penelope
Elijah and Penelope

We could have Dominic & Beatrix, Cecily, Edith, Emmeline, Felicity & Frances too. I was just thinking, after having it pointed out to us, that maybe we shouldn’t have one child without the internal O in their name seeing as our three already do? I’ve gone all this time not noticing it though so I guess it’s nothing to worry about? I’m just an over thinker lol.

Dominic is my favourite of the boys names by far. And then I'd go with Phoebe as the pair. With an older brother Theo, that would be a cool set of traditional but not overused names!

I know a meg whose formal name is Margot...

I feel bad that I didn’t include my daughters’ names in my OP lol... I only included Theo’s because of the concerns of it with Margot. It will be Aurora, Violet, Theo, ??? & ??? Their NNs are Rora & Letty.

In terms of popularity, this is how they all rank where we live: Dominic #131, Elias #281, Elijah #162, Sebastian #80, Zachary #197, Beatrix #873, Cecily doesn’t chart, Edith #249, Elodie #365, Emmeline doesn’t chart, Felicity #734, Frances #579, Imogen #289, Margot #396, Penelope #133 & Phoebe #137. Our children are #241, #156 & #365, to compare

Sebastian and Penelope definitely, gorgeous!

Congratulations! I love your names for your DC. We have similar taste I think.
I like Elijah and Felicity best but also like the sound of Sebastian and Cecily together x
