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

Alice and beatice both lovely; and I’d go for Felix! Good luck x

Sophronia · 09/03/2019 17:57

Alice. Congrats!

TatianaLarina · 09/03/2019 20:17

Iris is the only one I like, the others are meh.

Ratburglermcgee · 09/03/2019 21:06

Francesca by a mile

Katie is boring
Alice is nice
Iris is nice but you can't have rose as a middle name, two flowers?

Congrats!

Ratburglermcgee · 09/03/2019 21:08

Also don't worry about how popular Alice is. Top 20 not that big of a deal. Edward is in the top 30 and there aren't that many about. If you like it and it has family meaning, go for it. It goes well with Edward.

Still prefer Francesca (frankie) though!

borntobequiet · 09/03/2019 21:09

Alice/Hugo

borntobequiet · 09/03/2019 21:10

Oops
Alice

whattimeisitnow · 09/03/2019 21:32

I like Alice, Francesca or Iris.

I would probably Choose Alice with big brother Edward but all lovely.

barkinatthemoon · 09/03/2019 21:40

Congratulations!! I like Alice best, I also think Tabitha, Joanna, Bonnie, and Freya go nicely with your sons name.

mumofbeagles · 10/03/2019 00:49

Thank you for all your suggestions. We can't decide what she looks like and have tried calling her Francesca; Alice and Katie for a day and we just can't decide. All of them kind of work in there own way and as she is so small she doesn't look like any of them as such

mumofbeagles · 10/03/2019 01:13

Here she is... what name do you think she looks like?

OP posts:
AnyaMoondial · 10/03/2019 01:43

Awwww she is gorgeous op, congratulations! She looks like an Iris to me, a beautiful and elegant name.

Zogsyoungersister · 10/03/2019 06:35

I have a sneaking suspicion that you want to call her Katie OP. What's holding you back?

It's not my fave name on the list on paper but I think she actually looks like a Katie!

Just go with your gut. We agonised for weeks then called our son the name we'd liked for years and years (we were worried it was too popular).

mumofbeagles · 10/03/2019 23:27

I am swinging more towards Alice today I think, but yesterday was Kate
People keep asking what her name is Blush and family are getting impatient as my MIL said earlier 'you did this last time, you would think you would be more organised this time'
My favourite is Beatrice Elizabeth Anne with the nickname Bea (initials also spell this) but Dh doesn't like the Anne and I don't like it with any of the other middle names.

Overoptimistix · 11/03/2019 00:09
