Sibling for Henrietta and Matilda

62 replies

We have a Henrietta (Hettie) and Matilda (Tilly), they are mostly known by their nicknames, apart from at nursery. Any ideas for a name for their sibling (gender unknown). Thanks so much.

With two twee names I’d go for something a bit more trad/ serious

Tilly, Hettie and Flossie for instance sounds ridiculous

ElizaSkye · 24/10/2022 20:09

Absolutely doesn’t sound ridiculous. Flossie is a fab match. Their full names couldn’t be more traditional!

Mum2B36 · 24/10/2022 20:11

Thank you. I do like Florence a lot and this has always been on my girls list. I also quite like Jemima (mimi) and Morgot I will mention these to my husband.

Our previous boys names were Arthur and Albert (Bertie/Albie) but we have gone off both of them.

@Inasec24 Vincent has always been down as a middle name for a boy - it's a family name. I hadn't considered it as a first name but I do like it.

Thanks for the ideas everyone.

For a girl I saw the name Constance in another thread and loved it. And that would shorten to Connie which would fit nicely with your other girls.

Henrietta, Matilda and Sebastian (Hettie, Tilly and Sebbie)

You could also have names that have an e sounding ending that aren't shortened....

Phoebe, Evie, Ruby, Lily, Poppy or Jamie for girls

Toby, Coby, Cody, Albie, Alfie or Jamie for boys.

Thanks so much again.

We have added Rupert to our boys list. I really like Rupert.

I do like Evelyn (Evie and variations of) and Olivia - they are on our list - but I am put off by how popular they are and this will probably mean it's unlikely we would go for them.
