Ideas please for baby number 5

[TIPosy]

Hello,

We are expecting baby no.5 this summer. We just heard today it’s a little girl, our fourth one so running a bit out of ideas.

Our children’s names are Josephine, Iris, Theodore, Charlotte.

My first thoughts are:

Phoebe
Eleanor
Arabella
Grace
Anastasia
Hermione
Penelope
Rosalie
Georgia

But in reality I’m really out of ideas at this stage. Your suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you

I think Eleanor and Grace go well with your other children. Other suggestions… Elizabeth or Catherine/Katherine.

I like Eleanor and Penelope. I like Vivian just because I love the nn Viv! (Just sounds vivacious to me). I don't really like Arabella or Rosalie (bit fussy unlike your other girls names). Emmeline might be nice with Josephine, first and last (?).

By contrast, I think Rosalie goes well!

My favourites for you would be Eleanor, Phoebe, Arabella and Penelope

Other suggestions

Elizabeth
Hazel
Violet
Vivienne
Annabelle
Eva
Esther
Florence
Henrietta
Philippa
Dorothea
Clementine
Cassandra
Tabitha

Eliza
Beatrix
Cecily
Martha
Frances
Ottilie
Marianne

Do you shorten your DC's names OP? Just helps when trying to suggest names. Your children have lovely names!

Hermione.

No we don’t, we use their full names.

Eleanor all the way

Rosalie sounds lovely with your other dcs.

I agree Rosalie is the nicest and goes best with the others. I like Eleanor but she will end up Ellie at school, I really don't like Ellie.

I'm the youngest of 6, with 4 girls. We are Helen, Susan, Dorothy and Elizabeth if that helps! We were always called by our full names although shortenings developed naturally as we grew up.

Hermione is lovely, I also like Tabitha if you've ever considered that? It goes lovely with the names of your other children.

What lovely names your children have!

I really like Eleanor, like Grace and Georgia, quite like Phoebe.

Other thoughts - Marianne, Serena, Susannah, Frances, Genevieve, Christabel, Mary, Elizabeth, Lois, Anna, Verity, Edith, Flora, Eve.

Arabella and Hermione are a bit fussy compared to the elegance of your other names, and Anastasia and Rosalie very fussy - although I think Rose, Rosanna, Rosalind and Rosamund are all nice. Penelope will inevitably become Penny at school, unless you enforce Nell from the start,

Penelope is my favourite from your list.

Alice?

Penelope and Rosalie are my favourites from your list.

Miranda?
Fiona?
Francesca?

Grace is nice and short for after all those names! I have 11 and it becomes a mouthful when reciting them all! I have a few longer names and a few short ones too!!

I'm Eleanor there's the occasional person who calls me Ell or Ellie in my long life. But not many! It's not a given. Possibly a 4 syllable may be more likely shortened but if people aren't shortening Josephine then I doubt they'll shorten Eleanor.

Phoebe and Grace are my faves from your list.

Immediately Phoebe stood out from your list as perfect with the others. Second choice would be Penelope.

Tabitha
Isabelle
Victoria

Georgia is my favourite from your list.

I like Georgia but I don't think it 'goes' with the others. Georgina would and it's a great name!

Verity?

Congratulations!! Love your names - virtually the same as my choices too! Here is my list:

Imogen
Frances
Eleanor
Penelope Kate
Emilia
Polly
Elizabeth (Betty)
Sienna
Clementine (clemmie)
Hermione
Bridget
