43 replies

Moonshine160 · 20/08/2020 20:15

Please help me pick a name for DC2, we aren't finding out the sex. DC1 is Reuben William.

Here are the names that either me or DH like but don’t love, or can’t agree on. For girls names I like feminine names but not too frilly.

Boys:

  • Jasper
  • Maxwell
  • Ezra
  • Alexander
  • Tobias
  • Leo
  • Sebastian

Girls:

  • Nina
  • Eleanor
  • Eliza
  • Alice
  • Lily
  • Delilah
  • Rose

Please can I have suggestions of any other names we might like?

I know a Reuben and Elliott. I like Ezra (I have one) and Alice

Sunshines123 · 20/08/2020 20:22

Boys name I think Jasper goes perfect with Reuben

I like Reuben and the boy's names on your list. My favourites are Max (although not really a fan of Maxwell, prefer Maxim), Toby and Leo. Another two suggestions for you - Ivo or James.

I find girl's names harder for some reason! I like Alice and Elizabeth (but wouldn't choose Eliza I don't think), quite like Nina and prefer Rosa to Rose. How about Lyra? I love it but can't use it!

I know a Ruben and a Toby. :)

I like Reuben when I already had a Gabriel and a Fynn.

I know two people with a Reuben and their brothers are Monty and Toby.

Fayre? Was that a typo for Faye?
No, it’s a name. Pronounced Fay-uh. I don’t like Faye but like Fayre. Go figure!

AdaColeman · 20/08/2020 22:03

I like Jasper best of your boy’s names, but I’m not keen on Ezra or Maxwell.

I like Eleanor and Alice, but not keen on the other names, Eliza and Delilah are my least favourite.

Fayre? You've got to be kidding?!

That sounds awful, like one of those terribly twee / naff cafes trying to sound ye olde worlde serving up "delicious fayre" Grin

OP from your lists either Alexander or Rose. Other suggestions, Joseph, Peter, Ashley or Jane, Zara, Saskia or Sarah.

I have to say, Fayre is... unusual!

lottiegarbanzo · 20/08/2020 22:17

Oh, Ludo(vic) and Ivan (Ivo) are nice too.

I do think Rueben 'goes' with Tobias and Gabriel really well.

Ds is friends with 2 Reubens. One has siblings called Olive and Hannah the other a brother called Seth.

Kennysdilemma · 20/08/2020 22:28

I know a Reuben and Seth. Very Cold Comfort Farm, but I do like the names together.
