Hello again mumsnetters!!

i don’t know if you remember but I made a thread a while ago about expecting baby number 3 and now we are expecting baby number 4

We already have Nirvana (Varnie), Jude and Nicks and we are looking for names to go with the music theme
we got a lot of hate last time for the theme of our children’s names but overall it was helpful on deciding baby nicks’ name (we also don’t know the gender yet!)

names we are considering this time:
Arabella (Ari) Arctic monkey association but also love the nickname Ari
Floyd
Florence (flossy) Florence and the machines and also a family name on my side of the family
Drummer (may be the top contender for a boy)
Lyric
Smiths
Leon
Oasis

Floyd!!

Lyric is good. For a boy, especially.

PinkSyCo · 15/10/2022 21:38

What about if your kids decide they like classical music or country and western OP?

MumUndone · 15/10/2022 21:39

Lord almighty

Diverseopinions · 15/10/2022 21:41

I suppose you must have considered Lennon ( Lennie).

What was Suzy and the Banshees - was it Siouxie? That would be cool for a girl.

bippo · 15/10/2022 21:41

My friend has a boy called Bowie! It's lovely x

Flaunch · 15/10/2022 21:41

Is this tread a joke?

Poor kids 😂

Diverseopinions · 15/10/2022 21:42

Siouxsie Sioux

That's it!

Susie is due a revival - anyway.

Siouxsie Sioux was a Susan.

I hadn't seen the baby No 3 thread so thanks for explaining these are musiv related. I would have assumed they were religious and came to suggest Zen.

For nick name Ari I would think the long name is Ariel

If the theme is music that is really wide
Petunia? (Clark)
Lulu

Allegra
Adagio
Forte
Solo
Donna (primadonna)
Nocturne
Carmen

Another vote for Hendrix
Bjork
Nancy (Sid's girlfriend)
Vivienne (Westwood - link to Sex Pistols)

Johnny (Cash)
Billie (Holiday)
Lucky (Dube)
Kate (Bush)
Bowie
Ziggy
Iggy

Piper instead of Drummer (!)
Louie-Louie
Ramone

Riff
Kalimba
Ballad
Chanson

@Jericha the post I made about nicks’ name was a week before he was born. We are currently 9 weeks pregnant with baby number 4 (early to choose a name but we want to be prepared as there’s likely to be complications with this baby)
we found it hard to get pregnant after having nirvana and Jude and baby number 4 wasn’t planned but we are all very happy

Fair enough and congratulations. I like Leon/floyd or Regina (Spektor)

BloobryMuffin · 15/10/2022 21:48

Lydon (after Johnny Rotten) works for both genders and I love it!

Dreikanter · 15/10/2022 21:48

Petunia? (Clark)
