Twin name help

First time poster here!

I am expecting twins in February but it will be more like January as twins are usually delivered at around 36 weeks.

We already have one son Frederick James Michael but are expecting a girl and a boy. We are stuck on the name Ottilie or Cecilia but are completely baffled on a boys name. I loved Theodore but it has already been taken by a close family member. We want to use the names Elizabeth and Spencer as middle names for definite.

Many thanks xx

I love Cecilia, find Ottilie a but fussy

Rather than Theodore.. Tobias, Gabriel, Raphael, Cassian, Alistair, Casper, Laurence, Rufus, Ernest, Matthias … also the classics like Robert (perhaps nn Robin), Thomas, John would work

Barnaby
Elliot

Timothy as opposed to Theodore? Such a handsome name.

Timothy Jacob Spencer
Timothy Joel Spencer
Timothy Luke Spencer
Timothy Owen Spencer
Timothy Eli Spencer

Or Tobias?

Tobias Daniel Spencer
Tobias Dylan Spencer
Tobias Elliott Spencer
Tobias Aaron Spencer
Tobias Ethan Spencer

Alternatives to Timothy/Tobias/Theodore:

Maximilian
Lucian
Magnus
Lawrence
Xavier

Cecilia is very elegant, I like Cecily too. Not keen on the English pronunciation of Ottilie.

BiscuitLover3678 · 29/12/2021 11:55

Cecilia
Tristan?

LozMarieFielder · 29/12/2021 18:57

We have very similar name taste! Theodore and Frederick are in my top 3 boys names, along with Cassius. I also like both Cecilia and Ottilie, but would go for Cecelia personally.

Suggestions:
Asher
Cassander
Cassius
Cyrus
Gilbert
Hugo
Leon
Leopold
Lorenzo
Olivier
Orlando
Oskar/Oscar
Raphael
Rémy
Sebastian
Ulysses
Xander

Edward Spencer for the boy?

Cecilia Elizabeth is really nice. I prefer Cecilia to Ottilie.

Biscuitsneeded · 29/12/2021 19:06

Edward or Henry - or possibly Tobias.

LethargicActress · 29/12/2021 19:14

Cecilia Beth and Henry Spencer sounds nice.

LethargicActress · 29/12/2021 19:15

Or CeCe and Henry

For your daughter Ottilie Elizabeth Cecilia or Cecilia Ottilie Elizabeth? Two middles to match your eldest. I would give two middles to both twins, so neither feel shortchanged compared to their older brother. Smile
