4th baby name to go with....

Siblings are Freddie, Nina and Eva.

Any inspiration for a 4th? I’ve just found out I’m pregnant at 42 when other kids are teens/nearly teens. I’m terrified so trying to distract myself with fun things like names.

I really like Eliza but don’t want to repeat an initial of any of the other kids. Clara is going on the list.

For boys I like Wilf but my older kids hate it - I know this because we discussed it when Boris Johnson named his son. Thomas is lovely but is it too plain?

Ok so F , N and E names are a no-no then? I think it's totally fine to repeat an initial for what it's worth Eliza Wilf and Thomas are great names and not at all plain

I love Max, Felix and Rafferty but DH thinks they are Posh or pretentious or something like that! I adore Laurie but can’t use that. I’m sort of drawn to Sid but not sure I’m brave enough.

On girls I do like Violet but it’s a bit close to Violent I think.

Freddie Nina and Eva

Nothing with another “ah” sound at the end or poor Freddie will be the odd one out.

I think a single or triple syllable name to offset the doubles of all the siblings would be good.

Anne
Shaun
Verity
Isabella
Jonathan/Jonathon
Flynn or Finn
Jude
May

Oh and congratulations- how did the kids take the news?!?

42pregnant · 09/05/2020 09:47

@isadora2007 the kids don’t know. I won’t tell them until the end of the first trimester. I’m so old I fear something is likely to go wrong and I don’t want to put them through that. I think they will actually be happy as they have talked before about loving the idea of a baby. It’s me that’s finding this hard to process I think!

I love Jude. Also like Annie. From further up thread I like Theo and Jemima.

What do people think of Arthur and Matilda with Freddie, Eva and Nina?

I like Arthur I didn't see your post before I posted as was thinking 😊.
Matilda goes okay, Nina and Eva are both so compact and strong depends if you want a similar feel.

Arthur and Matilda ! Absolutely love.

blondie87 · 09/05/2020 15:58

Love Arthur- fits very nicely with your other children’s names.
For girls, I thought the following sounds nice and are in keeping:
Zara
Annie
Heidi
Grace

passthemustard · 09/05/2020 20:12

Hi @42pregnant

I am also 42 and pregnant (mines number 5!) my eldest is 19 this year. Congratulations on still being fertile.

I am also here distracting myself with names lol

42pregnant · 10/05/2020 07:23

Thank you everyone. We are starting a little list. For boys we have Arthur, Thomas, Oscar, Bertie. For girls we have Matilda, Juno, Annie.

@passthemustard congratulations! Nice to hear of someone in the same boat. Are you finding this pregnancy harder? I’m frankly terrified as I feel quite physically old already. This wasn’t exactly part of the plan but I’m taking it that it was just meant to be.
