Expecting a third!

Hi
We don't know the gender but already have a Sebastian and Sophie. Sort of regret the double S think as now feel that I need to tie this in.

I like Atticus and Xavier for a boy so far.

For a girl: I love Elodie, Madeleine (but not keen on nick name Maddie) Savannah (Sav nick name just makes me think of Jimmy Saville) and Summer but we have a surname ending in "er" so don't feel latter is an option.

Open to other ideas!

I wouldn't choose another name starting with s but maybe a name with the S sound in so it still goes with the others. Examples:

Sebastian Sophie and Elissa
Sebastian Sophie and Isobel
Sebastian Sophie and Thomas

Having said that I like all your girl name suggestions too but understand why you can't use Summer. You might like Sienna?

The names of our first and third start with the same letter just because we liked those names. And one name is much more modern than the other two. But they don’t go through life as a matching set so I wouldn’t worry about how well they fit together. I love Atticus but my husband wasn’t a fan.

Sebastian, Sophie & Christopher
Sebastian, Sophie & Alexander
Sebastian, Sophie & Zachary

I think Summer is lovely despite what some MNers might say! I understand that you can’t use it so how about:

Sebastian, Sophie & Sienna
Sebastian, Sophie & Alicia ( a-lis-ia not aleesha which is awful)
Sebastian, Sophie & Saffron

Immediate thought was Sebastian, Sophie & Thomas. Maybe Isobel for a girl. Think the S sound is link enough.

If you don't like Maddie I would discount Madeleine as you don't have much control over NNs.

I think if you have that association with Savanna, I'd avoid that too.

Love your boy choices.

Elodie sounds lovely. How about Cecily?

Stella is nice.

I also wouldn't use another name starting with S. My sister has 3 kids, two share the same first initial, it's never seemed odd or anything.

Estelle
Elowen
Polly
Rihanna
Lucy
Rosa

I would definitely do another S name but I'm probably in the minority. I like Summer.

(I prefer Estella to Stella though)

What do you all think of the name Stella?

I don’t like it at all, straight away takes me to the lager unfortunately!

Estelle, however, sounds classy and elegant! Also like @ChildrenOfTheQuorn suggestion of Estella x
