A sister to our son Oakley… but I can’t decide between the two they’re both so pretty to me Flowers

I much prefer Adelaide and think it sits better with your sons name. I also like Adeline and Adela which are similar. Good luck.

Adelaide

Holyridonkulus · 25/06/2021 19:36

Adaline.

Sorry I prefer it with Oakley

BunnyRuddington · 25/06/2021 19:39

I think they are both lovely. Sorry, I know that’s no help Smile

Marcipex · 25/06/2021 19:39

I like both.

WaitinginVain · 25/06/2021 19:39

Adelaide. Really don't like Margot.

WaitinginVain · 25/06/2021 19:40

Adelaide is beautiful btw.

Eleoura · 25/06/2021 19:41

Adelaide.

I always read Margot as Maggot!!!

They don't need to "go" . Choose the one you love! Both beautiful names. Go with your heart. They'll live separately as adults and it won't matter a jot.

I prefer Adelaide, but both are lovely

But you'll be yelling the names one after the other across the park for the next decade or so, so you might decide it does

Margot.

Adelaide is ghastly.

Margot.

Adelaide is ghastly.

I agree.

Strongly dislike Margot personally

Adelaide

Adelaide. Margot is ugly.

emmathedilemma · 25/06/2021 20:39

I prefer Maggie to Margot.
Adelaide is very dated to me (maybe because the only one I’ve ever known was at primary school)

Marcipex · 25/06/2021 20:51

I think Marguerite is much prettier than Margot.

millenialblush · 25/06/2021 20:53

Adelaide is very pretty.

Both nice! No help here obviously. I think if I had to choose I’d say Margot.

@ChairOnToast

Amazed everyone is saying Adelaide. You know it’s a city in Australia and not a name don’t you?
It's a name that's been used by the british royal family for hundreds of years, go back to the 1700s/1800s and there were a lot of princesses called Adelaide
Kanaloa · 25/06/2021 21:08

There are also places named Georgia, Victoria, Alexandra. They are names and places.

Margot is the snobby ndn in the Good Life and as much as I love that show it's a no
