@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.

itsgettingweird · 30/01/2020 21:04

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.
