Would love suggestions please, we don’t know the sex yet.

I’d prefer to avoid names ending in the “s” sound.

Any thoughts on:

Astrid
Ingrid
Esther
Bryony
Beatrix
Fern

Joseph
Rufus (I know!)
Henry
Edward
Eliot

Billy/Billie or Jimmy (for short) round off well with the other two

Bryony or Elliot.

Whatsyourflava · 06/01/2020 23:55

How about Barnaby for a boy

DramaAlpaca · 06/01/2020 23:57

I really like all your choices, except Esther.

My favourites are Bryony, Ingrid, Astrid, Fern, Henry and Joseph.

They were all on my list but I can’t use them for various reasons (don’t work with our surname, have family members with the same name, etc.)

Sylvie?
Vera?
Saskia?
Remi?

Luca?
Eli?
Evan?

blondie87 · 07/01/2020 06:23

Absolutely love Esther! Boys names wise, Edward and Henry were the first I thought of when I saw your thread title and think both sound lovely with Tess and Miles which are gorgeous!

Astronica · 07/01/2020 06:59

I love many of your names and love Miles and Tess!

With the siblings this is my order of preference:

  1. Ingrid
  2. Bryony
  3. Beatrix
  4. Astrid
  5. Fern
  6. Esther (lovely but low down because very like Tess in sounds and I've seen Tess as nn for Esther)
  1. Rufus
  2. Edward
  3. Henry
  4. Joseph (find this a bit bland/over-used but solid classic)
  5. Eliot (only one not real keen on but works well, as they all do, with siblings).
ArtisanPopcorn · 07/01/2020 07:12

My daughter's first and middle names are two of your choices 😊 I'm going to add Sadie and Casper.

AfterSomeAdvice1234 · 07/01/2020 08:04

Astrid and Elliot. Or, what about Wilfred and Iona?

Soawesome · 07/01/2020 08:26

Miles and Tess are awesome.
I like most of your names though I'm not convinced many of them do justice to Miles and Tess.
Beatrix and Rufus are the only ones that I think do.
My list for that sibset would be:
Anya
Juno
Sadie
Margot
Hetty (I would use as a NN for Hester)
Hattie (Harriet)

Xander
Hugo
Jude
Jonas
Ezra
