Albert, Florence and ...??

[JenSFP]

Hello! I’m hoping for some help with baby name #3, gender unknown, please.

We have Albert George Alexander (Bert/Bertie) and Florence Betsy Alexandra (Florrie), and are thinking:

Margot (Maggie); Ruby; or Nancy for girl

Henry; Wilfred (Fred); or Louis for boy.

It’s boys in particular we are struggling with as none of those float my boat as much as Albert did so I’m finding it impossible to decide.

Thoughts / opinions / alternative suggestions really welcome!

Thanks so much

I’d choose Henry and Margot out of your list

I think Eleanor sounds lovely but that wasn’t on your list

I’m not mad keen on your girls’ names but Margot is def my favourite. Maybe Beatrice, Clara, Claudia, Mabel or Rosamund?

I love your boys’ names! Henry is probably my fave. How about Rufus, Rupert, Theodore, Lucian, Sidney, Stanley, Magnus or Wilbur?

Be careful of Louis....

My son is Louis which I decided should be pronounced 'Loo-is'. If people don't know and they read his name they call him 'Loo-ee', but birthday and Xmas cards are invariably addressed to 'Lewis'. This all bugs him no end.

Wizzybee really helpful advice thank you - totally get how annoying that would be

My first thought randomly was “Arthur” nicknamed “Artie” but perhaps that’s too close with Bert/Bertie

Thanks Susannach we have a Theodore as a nephew otherwise I’d def consider that. I like Sidney and Stanley but unsure if I’m brave enough / would prefer to stick with slightly more classic.

Thanks for the girl suggestions too. It’s so good to get opinions!

Adelaide for a girl

Yes I love Arthur but think we need to move away from “A” and probably too similar too!

Genevieve?

I'd say Ruby and Wilfred to fit in best with the 'feel' of your other DC's names.

Ernest, Edgar or Hector?

Thank you - not sure I could risk Bert & Ernie... (Sesame Street)! A good friend has Edgar and I’m not keen on Hector but good suggestions

Violet.
Daisy.
Emmeline.
Clementine.

Franklin.
Edward.
Leonard.
Peter.

Frederick
Edward
David

Ivy
Grace
Mary

Wilfred and Ruby sound good with your other names.
Definitely not Margot. It's 80s middle-aged want to be posh woman with her hostess trolley and vol-au-vents. Horrible.

Hugo
Barnaby
Dominic
Edmund
Arthur
Elliot
Felix
Rafe

Annabelle
Matilda
Harriet
Pandora
Alice
Juliet
Cressida
Cassandra

I also like Henry as it’s a family name of mine but we nickname “Hank” - sadly I’ll never use it due to drama with my brother and an exGF

Love Margot (Maggie). As your other two have long names with short forms, I'd stick with that and not use Ruby or Nancy. How about Harriet (Hattie or Hetty)?

The Machine? sorry

Maggie is nice but I much prefer Margaret or Margherita.

How about Vincent or Quentin?

Nancy was my first thought

Zebedee. Got to be.
Ermintrude.
Rusty. That could be male or female.

Henry and Ruby are my favourites from your list

Valentina, Alexandra, Magdalena for a girl

Victor, Ernest, Theodore, Gabriel for a boy

Margot and any out of the boys
