Overdue, and still not decided on names for either gender!

We’ve gone down the family names route for our first two. Their first names start with J and E.

Other names in the family which we like include:
Florence, Margaret, Lucy, Philippa, Eveline

Alexander, James, Matthew, Philip, Timothy

We’d like to draw from these, but also open to other similar style names. Any thoughts for both first and middle combos?

Philippa Margaret nn Pippa, or the other way, both great and rising names without being overused. V elegant. The others are overused I think.
Honor, Serena, Mary, Marianne, Louisa, Helena, Susannah, Frances are others

For a boy Philip Alexander nn Pip, or if you don’t like Pip then Matthew nn Matt, or Alexander nn Sandy (as there are a lot of Alexes around),

It otherwise Robert, Francis, Michael, Nathaniel, Gabriel, Rufus, Rafe,

Emily, Ada, Vivienne, Lucy, Rose, Grace

Margaret is having a bit of a renaissance, could be margot or Maggie for short. I love it. I like Matthew or Alexander from your boys names.

ladygindiva · 03/06/2021 23:49

With middle names I'd go for Margaret Lucy or Matthew Alexander.

What about Alexandra for a girl? It gives a bit of a twist to the family name. Lucy for a mn.

Alexander James for a boy.
