My favourite by far on your girls list is Phoebe, I love it!
Not sure if 3 y-endings would be too matchy though? It might depend on the names of your DD’s.
I like Lucy and Florence, Cleo is ok, and I really dislike Libby.

For boys, I love Rowan and really like Freddie (though I’m not a fan of nicknames as full names). Flynn Quinn and Mack are not my cup of tea. Be especially careful of Mack if one of your DD’s happens to be a Molly! (My DCs are currently mad on Molly and Mack and the bloody tune is forever in my head!).

I love Cleo, and like Phoebe (please spell correctly!), Florence and Lucy.

I like all of your boy names except Freddie, which is the name of every second little boy round here. Flynn, Quinn and Rowan are my faves.

Are there any family names you could use in the middle?

No family names, it causes drama and arguments 😂

Molly and Mack is a CBeebies program Smile

I love Lucy for a girl and Quinn for a boy!

The only one I dislike is Freddie.

Saharasunset · 20/05/2019 07:24

I love Phoebe!
Although it has a 'y' sound ending it's not visible as cliche as having Molly, Poppy and Tilly for example

Freddie and Flynn are the best from your list for a boy

tiramisu1 · 20/05/2019 07:35

I like Cleo and Lucy. Dislike Libbie.

For a boy, I prefer Quinn and Rowan.

Icklepup · 20/05/2019 08:01

Lucy and Quinn or Rowan

Astronica · 20/05/2019 08:23

Girls - I like all the names on your list except Sue, so if it was Libby Sue I would cross that off straight away. Phoebe and Lucy are lovely but I would personally avoid a 3rd name with 'y/ie' ending as it seems a bit matchy to me. Both Florence and Cleo are lovely and would work well, and I would choose Cleo first as it's not over-used and so sleek and feisty.

Boys - Flynn is the standout there.

Constance1234 · 20/05/2019 09:07

Rowan for a boy, Phoebe for a girl :)

Watersnail · 20/05/2019 09:31

My favourites of the girls names are Lucy and Florence, then Phoebe. Not keen on Libby, it sounds quite hard compared to the other options. I like Rowan and Freddie from the boys list.

Lucy Florence
Freddie Rowan

Would be helpful if we knew the style of names you chose for you DDs...Love all your boys name apart from Freddie, so many Freddie’s in the UK now.

Phoebe is extremely popular where I am, and is often spelt incorrectly. Florence is classic and beautiful. I like Libby but feels rather like a nn, Liberty?

I aren't sure about Liberty, my other dd have classic names. Wouldn't be out of place on a baby or granny 😂

I like Libby, but not sure what this means ? Libby love mn Sue ?

Phoebe, Cleo and Lucy okay

Don't like Florence.

Really don't like any of your boys names except Freddie is okay, but there are a LOT of them in the U5 population.

Purplelavenders · 20/05/2019 18:14

Cleo for a girl and Quinn for a boy!

Don't like Phoebe, Mack or Libby.

Sophronia · 20/05/2019 21:59

Cleo Florence is nice.

Leleophants · 21/05/2019 11:15

Florence as it's beautiful and classy whilst cute for a child. Also love how it doesn't stick to the traditional "-y" or "-a" endings for girls

outsho · 21/05/2019 13:29

Lucy and Florence from the girls.

Only like Rowan from boys.
