Baby name opinion and advice

[Icantthinkofasinglenamehelp]

Hello,

Name changed as thought posting my exact baby name is pretty outing!

We have decided to go with Genevieve if baby is a girl because we adore this name! There are two family names we want to include as middle names - Iris and Roma (both names of beloved grandmothers, both equally as important to us! Want to use both now because we aren't sure if we will ever have another baby girl and would be gutted if we didn't get to use one!)

So how does Genevieve Iris Roma (surname) sound? I know it's a bit long but we don't mind the length, more interested in the sound?

Also, we are really struggling with boy names! (Fingers crossed it's a girl!!) DS is Reuben and we love this name but can't find anything else we love as much.

I like Jude and Jonah but can't use them (and don't like any similar names like Jonas or Judah). I like Seth but is it a bit blah? Quite like Wilfred but it's always getting called wet on here. I like Louis but don't LOVE it. Love Casper/Jasper but can't use (have a close family member with one of these names). Elijah is quite cool, and I love the sound of Oscar but know 10000 of them already. I suppose my naming style is vintage or biblical. Please help with suggestions!

Thank you xxx

Love Genevieve and Genevieve Iris Roma sounds great.

Alternative botpys names:

Caleb
Ethan
Zachary
Elliot
Isaac
Nathaniel
Malachi
Joel
Jesse
Emmett

If you love Wilfred, use it. Ignore what a random stranger on the internet says.

Or how about Wilbert as an alternative?

My daughter is Genevieve with 2 middle names, one which is very long too. I love it! I think Genevieve Iris Roma is beautiful - the perfect mix of unusual without being desperate for attention and with a good sentimental twist too. Go for it!

For boys I too love Wilfrid but know what you mean about it sounding a bit wet. What about Frederick - Fred/Freddie for short?

Other boys names with vintage/biblical feel
Caleb
Joel
Noah
Teddy/Theodore
Samuel
Jesse

I also have always liked the name Remus which could go well with Reuben

My DS has two middle names plus surname - never been a problem - use both of them for DD would be my advice. Genevieve Iris Roma + last name sounds great to me - I rather hope her last name will begin with an L & then her initials will be GIRL - how very lovely.

If a boy would you go for William or ( I say this often ) heaven forbid John ( I love John as a name) Matthew , Piers, Julius , Edgar ( Did I say John - I think that is a fantastic name) .

Ah I suspect I am not on the same page as you but all best to you & I hope everything goes well.

Sorry @petalfpowers didn't see you'd already posted with lots of the same suggestions!

Rufus?

Ralph? ( Rafe)

I'll stop now and wish you all the best for very healthy new baby

Jim - greatminds think alike!, especially at this early hour ( why can’t we sleep!)

The girl name is fine, can’t see any problems with it.

You say you love but can’t use Casper or Jasper. How about Caspian? Other names that might be suitable; Tobias, Gracian, Tristan, Jedidiah, Samuel, Asher, Saul, Arthur, Grant, Lance, Joel.

Both my children have two middle names. All names including surname have three syllables each, except James, my son's first middle name
Don't care it it's a bit much never really thought about it 😎
Go with what you like, Genevieve is a beautiful name

Oh I said I would stop but@EleanorOalike - I like Joel or maybe Jolyon & Arthur.

Love the girls name 😍

I find boys name really hard, I like names like:
Walter
Stan/Stanley
Arthur
Ernie/Ernest
Otis
Ted
Norman
Frank
Fred/Freddie
Ambrose
Len

Basically I like old man names.

This might be a bit out there but could you use Roma as a middle name for a boy? I think it works fine and would sound lovely with some of your suggestions.

The two middle names sound fine with Geneviève. Lovely name.

For s boy how about
Quentin
Tobias
Marcus

LOVE the girl names very, very much!
How about Oskar,
Artur
Walter
Max

Genevieve Iris Roma sounds striking and beautiful.

For boys:

Joseph
Eric
Elias
Eli
Ezra
Benedict
Milo
Bram
Cassian
Aaron
Austin
Julian
Isaiah
Francis
Solomon
Silas
Xavier

I like Seth. Wilfred is fine. Would never say it's "wet" (wet is a silly description for a name, anyway). I'm personally not keen on the nickname Wilf, as it sounds like a yappy dog, but fine with Will or Fred.

Ooooh that’s a good point re Roma for a boy...how about Roman as a name?

Love Roman!!!

Sebastian

Caleb
Issac
Winston

If it is helps I've recently met a baby Wilfred and an Elijah and both were adorable.

Looks like we have similar boys name taste. We also liked

Marcus
Zachary
Matthew
Dominic
Anthony
Rowan
Tobias
Zachary

Good luck

Nice names. I'm glad Iris has come back in fashion or, should I say, it's no longer 'old fashioned'. Such a pretty name and irises are beautiful flowers. So go for it! My preference would be to swap Iris and Roma but that's up to you. Both are lovely in whatever order.

Well done.

Dominic
Joseph

You can't have Seth and Reuben. Not if they ever meet someone who's read Cold Comfort Farm.

If you think too long, how about Evie Iris Roma? I think it flows better but I don't think you need to worry anyway as you'll rarely say her full name out loud.

Love all your boy name suggestions! I wanted an Elijah but no boys for me.

Love your girls names.

How about Gabe, Nate, Isaac or Noah.

Worth pointing out perhaps that Idris is pretty near to an anagram of Iris. ( Prefer Gabe though)!

Have always loved the name Genevieve, and think Iris Roma sound great as middle names.

Was also going to suggest Marcus for a boy.

Elliot
Alexander
Gabriel
Elias
Ellis
Caleb
