Current list

Delilah
Astrid

Miles

I like Otto, Dexter & Benedict too but DH not keen.

Any suggestions?

I like Zara from your girls list.
It’s a shame you cant get your DH on board with Dexter or Otto. I feel Otto in particular would go great with Eliza and Hugo.

From your list, I think Astrid and Sebastian make the best sibset. However my favourites would be Delilah and Sebastian but I feel like Eliza and Delilah sound quite similar. I think Dexter and Benedict would go nicely too.

I would try and find names that have a different end sound to them but in the same vein. I think that's why I like Astrid and Sebastian the most as I feel like they fit this criteria. Suggestions are;

Lily
Florence
Nancy
Daisy
Imogen
Harriet
Abigail
Violet
Darcey
Felicity
Constance (Connie)

Rufus
Henry
Arthur
Stanley
Louis
Frederick
Tobias
Eric
Benjamin

Zara! Love it!
I like Sebastian the most out of your boys names.
Heidi or Phoebe ?
Maxwell or Vincent?

micc · 09/10/2020 17:27

Otis?

Jeremy?

Eliza and a Hugo - both fine, and gives an inclination of the sort of names you really like

Zara - nice but the shop
Delilah - truly awful
Astrid - nice but avoid if surname or middle name starts with E

Miles - Jack Davenport in This Life. Swoon.
Marcus - fine
Sebastian - Little Britain. Just No.

tigerbread20 · 09/10/2020 20:12

Thanks for suggestions so far, will throw some at DH and see if there's any we both like.

According to DH I like pretentious names?! Interestingly both DS & DDs middle names have been mentioned here Grin

Zara goes best. Astrid and Delilah are a big mismatch. Would be odd alongside your DC’s names.

All the boys’ names go well. I like Miles and Marcus a lot. Not keen on Sebastian.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 10/10/2020 08:53

I think Eliza and Zara are a bit of a clash. The z’S and the A’s.
Clara?

Miles is great.

daisypond · 10/10/2020 08:55

Ah, yes, Eliza and Zara do clash.

I love your taste in names. Eliza especially.

Saying that, I'm not a fan of Miles.

What about:

Francesca
Cara

Alexander
Patrick

itsjakeandamy · 10/10/2020 09:04

Sorry for any repeats but I think these would work well:

Constance
Cordelia
Beatrice

Benedict
Rufus
Rupert
Xander

MyCatReallyIsAGit · 10/10/2020 09:32

I’d avoid Delilah as it’s pretty but sounds too similar to Eliza.

Of the ones you’ve suggested, I think Sebastian, Miles and Astrid all go really well with your existing names.

How about:

Rory
Rufus
Toby/Tobias
Felix

Rosa
Phoebe
Greta
Nina

user1493494961 · 10/10/2020 09:40

I also think Eliza and Zara clash a bit but don't think Astrid or Delilah match. Your boys names all go well, really like Sebastian (dislike Dexter, tell DH there's nothing 'pretentious' about it).

tigerbread20 · 10/10/2020 20:07

So many lovely names suggested! Turns out DH is even fussier than I thought.

I think we are pretty set on Miles or Marcus for a boy. We've always kept 2 options for our previous DC in case they didn't suit their name, is that weird?!

Girls are so hard! Thinking about
It more and zara does clash with Eliza and my name has a z & a too so maybe best avoid! I like that style of name, quite bold and chic not frilly or overly girly.

Would you like Beatrix or Alix? Traditional names but using the old spelling with the X instead of the -ce.
