Siblings for Winston and Baxter

42 replies

Sunnyflower2 · 11/08/2022 14:44

I have two ds’s, Winston “Winnie” is 6 years old and my other ds Baxter “buzz” is 3 years old.
I am currently 24 weeks pregnant with twins but don’t know their genders yet!
Me and dp have a short list of names we are considering but need some more ideas on what to call our two new additions

boys:
Wilson (too close to Winston though)
Shepherd
Fraser
Hank (but want a longer name that isn’t Henry)

girls:
Margot
Etta
Hattie

Any other ideas will be well appreciated!

@ariesalien Im definitely adding Lockie to the list and me and dp are discussing Lachlan with the nickname lockie

@duckie3 Fraser is definitely my top pick for a boy dp isn’t so keen but still likes it enough to use it

After some discussion with dh we have narrowed it down to a few pairings we like:
Fraser & Margot
Fraser & Jude
Margot & Etta

Sunnyflower2 · 11/08/2022 19:21

Does anyone know any cute nicknames for Fraser like “buzz” for Baxter

OP posts:
Peachypips78 · 11/08/2022 19:24

Fizz? Then you'd have Fizz Buzz!!!

Luredbyapomegranate · 11/08/2022 19:30

Stanley
Sidney
Walter
Ernest
Hank could be Harold which needs reviving
Cedric
Atticus
Jerome
Diggory

Aphra
Emerald
Thora
Zelda
Celeste
Hilde
Ida
Honor
Verity
Gwendoline nn Gwen
Gertrude nn Trudy or Gatty

I just noticed your shortlist. I think Etta works, although I think it’s better as a nn. Fraser is fairly popular and Margot and Jude very popular if that matters to you.

Sunnyflower2 · 11/08/2022 20:18

@Luredbyapomegranate In our area none of these names are very popular though I do know two babies called Margot!
we most probably would use a longer name for Etta but haven't fallen in love with one yet

@Peachypips78 I love the nickname fizz for Fraser and we often call buzz buzzy so buzzy and fizz would be so cute

Fraser is quite common in Scottish Middle class circles, I know a few teen Frasers who seem to get called "Frazz" by their pals.

Wbeezer · 12/08/2022 13:26

İ think Fizz is a bit girly for a boy, I associate it with Felicity.

Sunnyflower2 · 12/08/2022 16:19

@Wbeezer I do love frazz as well I think we will most probably use Fraze as his nickname though!

DH has suddenly came across the name Kit (possibly Beckett as a longer name) to go with Fraser if we have two boys and I’m not set on the name but do like it

OP posts:
Luredbyapomegranate · 12/08/2022 16:39

If you like Kit then Kester (a Scottish form of Christopher, which is what Kit is usually short for) might be nice?

MuffinMcLayLikeABundleOfHay · 12/08/2022 16:40

I knew you would be having twins as soon as I saw the thread title.

Wbeezer · 12/08/2022 17:58

Beckett is quite close to Baxter.
I like Lester never heard of that.
