We aren't finding out the gender of our final baby, but we have shortlisted first names. However we're really struggling with middle names 🙃 Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated - and opinions on the first names we've chosen (we haven't decided on the top name for both genders!)

Our shortlisted first names are:

Girls
Beatrix (Trixie)
Nox
Reign

Boys
Bexley
Knox
Huxton

Thanks in advance 😁

@YoniAndGuy

Pixie is pretty good actually!

Like Beatrix, go with that if not.

How about Fox for a boy?

Oh I love Fox!

Beatrix Raine - love
Beatrix Elizabeth - love
Nox - not keen on
Reign - prefer Raine spelling but like the name
Pixie Raine
Pixie Wren
Raine Elizabeth

Boys
Bexley - not keen on
Knox - love, tricky to think of a middle name that goes... hunter, William, james.
Huxton - not for me

@BabyG123

I don't recall OP asking for a opinion on the names she likes.

I hate it when people do this!

Anyway OP

Beatrix is traditional so I'd go like like Rose as a middle name.

As it is shorter I'd go for a longer middle name but also a 'out there name'

Reign the same as above although I quite like Reign Elizabeth or is there a elder relative you can take the name from?

Bexley James is nice but I'd be aware if the initial BJ!

Knox And Huxton I'd go for one of these

Good luck and ignore the haters!

Oh definitely go for Fox - it's lovely. So unusual but somehow it also sounds really right as a name. It actually fits in very well with the vibe for short single-syllable boy names at the moment and has such pleasant associations. Who doesn't like the thought of a clever, wild little Fox?

Nox = Noxious

Beatrix. Huxton if forced to choose a boys name.

Xena
Alexis
Maxwell
Dexter
Maddox

Also love Xanthe for a girl.

Beatrix raine sounds lovely , your other names arnt to my taste sorry (we can't all like every thing ! 🙂)... I feel you may like Felix , Maddox , axel & Phoenix for boy names which I think are all really cool names with the X theme also I love Elijah , for girls I love Arriety (from the borrowers) , scout (to kill a mocking bird ), if you were going for literary (like beatrix) or kitty , fluer ,everly thea & piper for just cool unusual names I also really like Marnie, congratulations 💕 x

Beatrix Raine is nice, as is Raine Elizabeth.

Fox is nice too. How about Rex?

Middle names:

Atticus
Reuben
Ezra
Elijah?

I don’t think you can go wrong with Raine as a middle name — seems to flow nicely with most of your names. In fact with just different spelling it would be equally nice for a boy’s middle name.
Or mn Rio for both
Or River for a boy, Riva for a girl
My favourite boys name is Alex but it’s got a bit too popular hasn’t it.
Knox Rio/River/Reign is good but I’d avoid Nox as it looks gross. If you really want it for a girl spell it Knoxx
