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!

Congratulations!

I love Fraser, it was my brothers name and he got Fras for short. I have it to my DS as a middle name, his first name is Isaac (Ike or Zac for short).

Harriet (Hattie) was also one of our girl choices, we also considered Imogen (Immy).

I love your choices though, best of luck.

@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

Kit is short for Christopher.

Hank is perilously close to Wank, OP.

For Andie would any of these work:
Amanda
Candice
Amandine
Cassandra

For the girls I think Etta and Margot are perfect.

Out of the boys names you mentioned I think Hank fits the vibe of your other kids’ names best but I can’t think of any longer names other than Henry. I personally don’t think Shepherd or Fraser fit with Winston and Baxter. To me Winston and Baxter are hip and artsy in vibes, a little bit rock and roll, whereas I think Shepherd and Fraser are more earthy.

Other boy names I think fit the vibe of Winston and Baxter:

Ernest (Ernie)
Gilbert (Gil or Gilly)
Herbie - although for some reason not Herbert
Hector - although I don’t love it with Baxter
Percy
Hayes
Sullivan (Sully or Van)
Vincent (Vinnie or Vince)
Marvin
Jesse
Kit
Cooper
Franklin (Frank)
Eugene (Gene)
Gus
Morris/Maurice
Ned
Rex
Tate
Truman
Wilfred (Wilf)
Walter
Zephyr
Rufus

A few other girls names that fit the vibe:

Maud
Agnes (Aggie or Nessi)
Ada
Beatrix (Beattie or Trixie)
Dusty
Ethel (Ettie)
Greta
Marigold (Goldie)
Hero
Kitty
Pepper
Ripley
Sadie
Xanthe

The great thing about Ned is that there are so many option.

I think Theodore/Ted definitely fits the vibe too.

For other names that fit the vibe, how about Rex and Ottilie?
