Sibling for Edward

Hey! We are currently 32+6 with our second. We are really struggling for names. We don't know gender.
Our son is called Edward. Our son came early and was baby no name for 3 weeks, and it was a nightmare with people continually asking what baby is called, and we only agreed on that because it was the only name both of us were ok with.I would like to be a little bit more organised this time and have a name we both like without settling.
Please give me your opinions on our shortlist and any suggestions you may have
GIRLS - middle names Sylvia Rose or Elizabeth Anne
Alice
Beatrice
Francesca
Katie
Emily

BOYS - middle names Stephen George or Stephen Charles
Robin
Tobias/Toby
Rory
Felix
Hugo

TIA hopefully this baby can have a name in a couple of days :) sprout is loosing its appeal Wink

I love Anne and Katie both would go nicely with Edward.
Also like Rory and Hugo. Would also suggest Francis and Joseph.

Francis was on our list but DH let slip to MIL and she despises it Hmm I might put it back on as we loved it so much

Our list included all the ones on your girls list plus;
Alexandra
Rebecca
Frances
Charlotte

Boys names I like include;
Christopher
Daniel
Thomas
Samuel

We ended up using Elizabeth as a first name as it was the only one we could agree on, I’m still bitter that he wouldn’t let me use Beatrice!

AngryCasper · 04/02/2019 20:33

Beatrice Sylvia Rose

Rory Stephen Charles

mumofbeagles · 04/02/2019 20:37

I love Beatrice Elizabeth Anne her initials would spell Bea and it would be a nice nick name he won't agree to that and says Sylvia rose for middle names if we picked Beatrice
We love Alexandra/Alexander but both in immediate family as is Christopher and Charlotte

I've got a James, George and Edward. My three Kings 😀

MamaDane · 04/02/2019 20:58

Screw MIL, Francis would fit really well with Edward. I'd choose that one if it were me.

Anne is nice

Bluestitch · 04/02/2019 21:00

I have an Edward and if DC2 had been a boy I would have called them Francis, love that name.

stellarfox · 04/02/2019 21:54

Francis can be nicknamed Frankie which is lovely!

tammytoby · 04/02/2019 22:26

Beatrice and Francis are lovely!

Otherwise how about
Clara
Lucinda

Quentin
Christopher

Keewee27 · 05/02/2019 21:03

Ds1 is Edward and his younger brother is Samuel. Nn Ted and Sam.
I like all your girl's names, but Emily is quite popular at the moment. I work in a school and can think of 4 straight away. Three in the same year group.

I love Katie, but would probably have a longer name on bc - Katherine or Caitlin so she had other choices. That's why I like my boys' names, because they have so many choices about what they could call themselves.

Keewee27 · 05/02/2019 21:04

Congratulations by the way and good luck choosing a name!

mumofbeagles · 06/02/2019 00:15

Rory was kind of bottom of my list but it's starting to grow on me. I love Lawrence and Gregory but DH dislikes them with a passion and won't even consider it.
Our Son was very nearly Emily and I kind of still see that as his name... my DH doesn't really like siblings names starting with the same initials Hmm he is insane

OP posts:
mumofbeagles · 06/02/2019 00:15

That should read had our son been a girl he would have been Emily.

OP posts:
mumofbeagles · 06/02/2019 00:16

DH newest edition to the list... WINSTON! He is beyond ridiculous...he doesn't like Lawrence but loves Winston... I think he is going mad
