Baby names

A sibling for Robyn!

Hi!

Our baby is due any day now and struggling to think of a name! We have a girl called Robyn and if this baby is a boy we love the name Reuben, but worried they sound too similar?

Really struggling with girls names but currently Astrid is winning…. Would love to hear what you think of the suggested names and if you have any ideas/suggestions!

Thanks!!!

I think Robyn and Reuben are too similar yes.. sorry.

Astrid is nice, I also like Ingrid if you’re keen on a scandi name.

I don't think you can have Robyn and Reuben, sorry.

Astrid is lovely though! It was on our list if we had a girl.

For boys, how about-

Jamie (James?)
Elijah
Harrison

Willow for a girl ? I like Astrid but seems a bit clunky compared to Robyn...
Boys think Ruben is too close other classical names
Gabriel,
Solomon,
Felix although the x maybe a bit harsh
Otis...

Potentially a name that is definitely male after a unisex name...or if u want another unisex
Harper ,Jamie, Ashley, Aspen

Too Similar sorry. Astrid is okay for a girl but I'm not feeling it with Robyn.

Other suggestions.

Boys

Asher
Finley
Jenson (Again may be too similar to Robyn, though)
Dexter
Otis
Niall.

Girls.

Amber.
Ferne
Hazel
Brooke.
Willow
Summer
Isla.

I think they sound lovely together! However I think of you stick to same first initial and have more you feel more obliged to stick to that letter iykwim. It's something I almost did with my second then didn't. And now being preg with dc6 I'm pleased I didn't. Although I was adamant u was done then 😂but i know also most people won't be so ocd about that .either way I love both names. Very beautiful names and fab sibset !

Love Reuben, but definitely not with Robyn.

Not a fan of Astrid.

I would team Robyn up with:

Marie
Yvette
Teresa
Hilary
Josephine

Mark
Stuart
Allen
Michael
Peter

Thanks everyone! It’s so hard to decide - especially when you don’t know the sex so need two names! Some great suggestions so will have a think…! X
