Help me name baby number 3

[Libmama]

We don’t know the gender yet but I’m really struggling.
This is baby number 3. DP is useless and just suggests names like Jeff and Maureen then vetos all my suggestions saying they are ‘chavvy!’

The boys names I like are
Asa
Otis
Jude
Rex
Indy

and the ONLY girls name I like is
Indi/Indie

I quite like Lois too but not sure it’s goes with DS1&2’s names.

They are Isaac and Leo.

Please help me 🙏

i think

Isaac, Leo, Rex
Isaac, Leo, Asa

sounds nice.

I am not a fan of Indy/ ie

Love Asa and Lois! Not keen on the others. How about Asher, Casper, Coco, Hebe, Tamsin?

Isaac Leo and Otis

I think Asa sounds too similar to Isaac. But I love Jude. And Lois, not keen on indi/e

I like Jude from your boys list.
Lois is lovely, underused in my opinion and sounds nice with your boys.
Maybe Nina, Cora, Juno, Cleo?
Luca/Lucas for a boy?

LOVE Cleo…. But can’t have that with Leo 🤣

Jude is nice and goes with your boys’ names. I really dislike Indi/Indie. Naomi?

India
Effie
Maeve
Beth
Julia

Lois is great, and goes nicely with Issac and Leo.

Asa, Jude and Otis are also all nice - Jude probably works best in combination

Indy/Indie - no. Your husband is right, same for Rex

Ines, Jocelyn, Sylvie, Stella, Robin, Hope, Rose, Caitlin, Zara, Xanthe, Zoe, Elsa, might be other options for girls

Isaac Leo and Jude - good combo 👍

Indie - hmmm no sorry!

Patrick
Conrad
Ellis
Ella
Joni
Annie

I've mentioned it before on Cleo threads the name Clea or Cleia. Which might go better with Leo. Robyn?

Ok I get no one is keen on Indie.

Problem is I work in a school so I associate names with children so it needs to be something that’s not in the top 100 as I’ve probably had one in my class at some point!

Jude seems to be the favourite boys name and seeing as I only seem to make boys that’s probably going to be the go to option.

Any more girls names I might like? I’m not a fan of frilly girly names like Isabelle and Daisy. It will more than likely be a tomboy so needs to be something that works well with that and I do quite like nicknamey names.

Max
tristan
eric
silas

I love Rex and Otis. Other suggestions Isaac, Leo and

oscar
otto
max
jasper
ellis
rudy
ralph
rufus
wilf
jesse
felix

rosa
ruby
daisy
molly
cora
thea
piper
pippa
phoebe
freya

How about Lucinda / Cindy, or Melinda / Mindy?

If you like Jude, would Judy would for a girl?

Otis is lovely. Do brothers equal tomboy? My best friend has 4 and loves all things stereotypically girly.

Also I like Indie OP. Do you like India?

I like Jeff!

If you like Clio, what about Chloe?

Joel / Joely?

If you love Indie or Indy why not use that? It's a nice sound and far nicer than Lois (in my opinion). Mumsnet tends to have a particular sort of taste in names. Unfortunately along the lines of the (several) names my parents gave me! i hated them all as a kid. Pleasing mumsnet is not going to necessarily please your child or your teen or a future adult.

We all have different associations with things. I realise a lot of my fondness for certain names comes from having read a character that was that name as a child and things like that.

Indy/Indi/Indie has associations with the word independent - like Indy cinema. Which I think is a nice idea for a DD, rather than jewels and flowers or the super frilly names that are popular at the moment. Trust your gut OP and don't listen to Mumsnet too much as there was another thread where someone was saying they were egged on to chose a name they no longer like at all.

How is Lois pronouced? Like Lois Lane? I like it.

Really not a fan of Rex. The rest seem ok.

Tom-boy names, Danielle - Danny, I went to school with one always called Danny but I have not had dealings with her in a professional capacity and she signs her emails off as Danielle.

Not necessarily but I am also not a girly girl at all so the odds of it being a pink princess aren’t really in its favour 😄

Thank you, this is where we were going with Indie/y/i as in ‘independent’ as opposed to India/Indiana/Indigo.

I still think it’s my favourite name for a girl but there’s time to find a new favourite yet.

Yes like Lois Lane!

To be honest, in my experience, children often turn out to be the opposite to their parents.

I have a Leo. My other DS is Caspar. My DD ( baby number 3) was named by my husband so not my choice, but I would have called her Felicity.
