Feedback on names

[PurpleFlowersInMyHair]

We find out what we’re having tomorrow

Have a list of girls names, but no boys names we can agree on. So just interested to hear feedback/ suggestions

Emmeline
Evangeline
Beatrix

We did have Georgina but mumsnet feedback a while ago suggested nn will be George and not Georgie - so we’ve decided against it.

For a boy I really want Joseph or Benjamin but DH has vetoed both . The only name we can agree on is Aidan but even then neither of us love it.

I find naming babies so difficult!

Really like the names Emmeline and Evangeline, not too keen
On Beatrix. Beatrice has a nicer softer sound, but thats just my opinion. Aiden is quite a nice name for a boy.

Boys name suggestions:

Lawrence (Laurie)
Miles
Rory
Troy
Elliot
Evan
Marcus
Reece/Rhys
Jordan
Callum
Vincent (Vinnie)
Bradley (Brad)
Elijah (Eli)
Jacob
Oscar
Kieran
Connor
Callum
Alexander
Kai
Logan
Lewis
Louis
Cooper
Ezra
Zachary (Zac)
Jude
Gabriel (Gabe)
Nathan (Nate)

Thank you- great list and Beatrice is a lovely alternative which I hadn’t thought of

Beatrice, by a mile!

I always think of Emmeline Pankhurst, and Evangeline is a bit of a mouthful- and will inevitably shorten to a generic Eva/Evie.

I love the thought of people thinking of Emmeline Pankhurst!

Beatrice is beautiful- what are the typical nicknames?

Scan is at lunchtime. Very nervous about all being well but also excited to see the little one and find out the sex- we don’t have a preference but do want to know.

Emmeline of your girls names. I love Evangeline, but it's too evangelical for my liking, and I don't like Beatrix.

I don't think Georgina is any more likely to get George than Georgie, FWIW.

I also love Beatrice and prefer it to Beatrix. Beatrice I think of Shakespeare and Dante. Bea is a nice nickname.

Emmeline is nice, I like Evangeline but Evie and Ava are everywhere. Aiden is fine but I prefer your other choices. Boys' names are hard! Yours are very classic, what other names does he like, to have a better idea of his taste?

I really wouldn't write off a name because of what MN thinks the nn will be, so really don't discount Georgina.

I like your girls names - all lovely ones.

For boys I like:
Flynn
Malachi
Emrys
Eli
Silas
Monty

Good luck!

He likes Theodore and Frederick. I don’t like either of those

Thanks for the views on my girls names, I know everyone has a different opinion but don’t want to give my child a name that is universally disliked without realising!

I know a few Georgina's who don't go by George. It's not certain that she would be call that.

How about Georgiana? It is more likely to be shortened to Georgie because of the 'e' sound.

Beatrice

Alfred as an alternative to Frederick? Nn Freddie.

Edmund
Nathanial
Thomas
Gabriel
Samuel
Sebastian
Henry
Alexander
Benedict

It’s a boy! And looks to be healthy- phew!

I’m going through all your boys names now

I think nn Georgie would be much more likely than George? If in doubt, just put down Georgie in the 'is known as' box when she starts nursery!

It’s a boy so definitely not going with Georgina now
