@Nonnymum thank you, it's not a name I was familiar with. Don't think I've come across it on any lists so didn't want to assume. X

James, Rachel & Emma

Pippi reminds me of pee-pee
Sorry to lower the tone

Oops, I accidentally wrote Alexander as an option. My other son is actually called Alec, so I have no idea why I wrote that!

Congratulations OP Flowers

From the list of names that your DP and you agree on, I like:
Clementine
Penelope
Persephone
Ariadne
James
Thomas
Alex

I think Clementine, Persephone and Alexander go well together.

I'd go for

Madeline
Elouise
Thomas

Like Clementine and Ariadne, also like your eldest boy's name but feel boys names on your 'agree' list are more for want of a better word 'mainstream' and not as interesting.

LittleGreyElephant · 31/01/2020 18:57

I would go for Clementine, Penelope and Alex(although I think I’d also use Alexander!)

Marcipex · 01/02/2020 10:37

Persephone, Clementine and Thomas. Tho I prefer Clemency.

Lironlavie1 · 01/02/2020 13:56

I love
James, Elle, Josephine ❤️

OldFirstTimeMum · 02/02/2020 16:39

I agree with Chicolatecake12
Clemmie, Penny and Alex or Xander
As nicknames for Clementine, Penelope and Alexander, Use some of the others as middle names

MimiSunshine · 02/02/2020 17:28

You have both of my daughters names on your lists.

From your options I’d go:
Penelope
Eloise
Thomas

But if you want other options:
Penelope
Meredith
Xander (much nicer than Alex)

MadameJosephine · 04/02/2020 19:56

Congratulations! I’d name them Felicity, Jennifer and James.

(I’ve used 2 out of these three for my own DC and the third was one of my favourites but vetoed by DP)

hannahfaith · 05/02/2020 04:52

I know a Pippi who's birth name is Penelope

hannahfaith · 05/02/2020 04:55

What I would probably do would be

Penelope (nn Pippi)
Edith (nn Edie)
& either
Alexander (nn Alex)
Thomas (either nn Tommy or no nn at all)

Redyoyo · 06/02/2020 20:47

In Scotland Doddie is a boys name a diminutive form of George!

xdestarx · 08/02/2020 20:26

I like Penelope (Nelly), Madeline (Maddie), and James.
