A brother or sister for Nico?

[nervousnelly8]

Hi wise mumsnetters. We have just found out I am pregnant with DC2 - DS is Nico (Nicholas). It took us months to agree on his name so hoping to get a jumpstart with some early boys/girls ideas to muse with DH.

I like pretty traditional names but not too old fashioned and nothing 'faddy'. I haven't met another baby Nico yet which I like :-) any ideas?

Reuben

Emilia

Lucas/luke
Theo
Ellis
Saul
Gilbert
Samson
Barnaby

Oooh I like both of those. Only problem with Reuben is the sandwich reference (we have American family).

Annabel
Vivienne
Georgia
Dorothea
Petula

Loretta!

Rosa.
Thea
Willa.

Otto
Otis
Arlo
Jude
Hugo

Nicholas was one of my top boys names, good choice!

Maybe you'll like:
Nathaniel
Elliot
Alistair
Anthony
Gregory
Jonathan
Tobias
Sebastian
Russell
Lawrence
Zachary

I forgot the girls! To go with Nicholas (Nico):

Felicity
Adelaide
Louisa
Natalia
Victoria
Rosalind
Jennifer
Rebecca
Annaliese
Imogen
Monica
Bethany

Rex
Hector
Vincent
Elio
Emil
Silas
Enzo
Fox
Eli

Cleo/Clio
Phaedra
Juno
Luna
Rhea
Una
Frances(Frankie)
Margot
Iris
Mila

Is Nico pronounced Neeko or Nicko? Sorry to derail!

I'm loving some of these ideas. Of those mentioned, I like these the most:
Lucas (but maybe too popular)
Nathaniel
Alistair
Anthony
Jonathan
Silas

and Georgia
Thea (is this short for anything?)
Rebecca (but DH will veto)
Bethany

I have always found girls names much harder than boys!

@benscalesisagod - it's Neeko, I hadn't clocked that it might get pronounced Nicko but does make sense as a shortening. We've only had one or two people assume Nicko though IRL

I thought Neeko, just wanted to check as never heard it before.

I like all your boys names apart from Silas.
Thea is gorgeous. Could be Dorothea but I prefer the short version.

Thea (Theodora)

Marcus
Thomas
Magnus
Raphael (Rafa or Rafe)
Daniel

Margot
Penelope
Rosalind (Rose or Rosie)
Alice
Elizabeth
Harriet
Eleanor

Aaron
Julian
Joel
Evander
Francis
Jasper
Joshua
Dominic
George
Frederick
Simon

Eliza
Caroline
Tamsin
Julia
Catherine
Susannah
Jemima
Meredith

Leah

First ones that pop into my head were Amelia and Ross.

Haha so far on this thread, we have had suggestions for: my name (which is unusual), DH's name, my mum's name, both of DH's parents' names and both of our sisters' names - do you think we have a 'type'?!
