Sibling for William and Francesca

[Shibbydowa]

Baby number three due in February (unknown gender) sibling to William Alexander and Francesca Beatrice. Like classic names with nickname options. 🤗

William and Edward is Bill and Ted.
The girl's names are all ok, but I prefer Harriet (Hattie) to Henrietta.
Bess is fab, and you can't go wrong with Elizabeth

Elizabeth is the obvious sibling name for very classic William, as is Henry or Edward for boys - but the Harry or Ted nn's are no goes imo (William and Harry, Bill(ly) and Ted?) Use the full names or other nn's if you can - I like Hal or Ned personally.

But Harriet somehow goes a bit better with Francesca - both slightly quirkier. Daphne and Arthur aren't my cup of tea - bit trendy feeling somehow.

On balance I love Elizabeth Jane and Edward Charles best (Rose is lovely as a first name but so generic as a middle, and George fine but not my taste).

Caroline Rose
Elspeth Jane

Not long to go now and having lots of changes of mind. New year, new names..!

Daisy, Jemima and Margot have jumped to the top of our list now, which do you think best suits William and Francesca?

We are settled on Edward for boy still 😀

I love Margot the most!
Edward is a fabulous name!

Margot is the most classic. All lovely.

Edward is so great for a boy - very classic and timeless (and a perfect match to William).

While your girls choices are not really my cup of tea, of the 3 I'd definitely go for Jemima as I think it would be a bit of a shame to go for something cutesier like Daisy or super trendy now Margot when Francesca is more timeless/elegant (as an aside, I'm guessing you know that both Daisy and Margot are used as nn's for Marguerite - so that name choice would give you/her lots of options!)

I know siblings called William and Francesca, their siblings are Olivia and Ruby.

William, Francesca, and Jemima sounds like a lovely trio to my ear

I think Daisy is a little too cutesy alongside the formal William and the elegant Francesca.

I think Margot is a little too harsh and clunky alongside the softer sounds of William and Francesca.

My husband is William Alexander and I have a daughter Francesca. I am Lydia and have a Liliana too. Struggling with a girls name currently for daughter #3 :)

Florence?

Pretty but want it to sound more Italian - and husband has said no to Fiorella lol!

Ah ok. I’m assuming you’re the Italian one so I say you get dibs 😂
