Hi we have two boys called James and Theo (Theodore on BC) and contemplating names for a third, would like something not starting with J or T and that fits the style while not being quite as popular.

We quite like the following but looking for suggestions as well:

Eliza
Clara
Beatrix
Iris

Gabriel
Samuel
Benjamin
Felix

What would you name a sibling to James and Theo?

I like Gabriel from your list, for a boy. Also, have you considered Zachary, nn Zach?

Love Iris for a girl.

SirVixofVixHall · 29/01/2023 13:27

I think Felix works best from your list. Benjamin is good too.
Alexander, Frederick and Nicholas have a similar feel maybe ?

CallipyJean · 29/01/2023 13:31

I immediately thought of Clara, which I see is on your list; Sam would be nice for a boy

Pinkdafodils · 29/01/2023 13:37

Clara for a girl and Felix or Quentin for a boy

Beatrix is one of my favourite girls names.

To throw into the mix for a boy, Xavier, Louis, Oscar, Finn, Gilbert, Darcy, Sebastian.

I think Gabriel flows nicely
Clara or Eliza for a girl

I love all your names and all the pp's too!

I'll add the name David. There's been a couple of Davids at our preschool so maybe it's returning?

I would avoid Gabriel. A friend's son was Gabriel but ended up changing to using his middle name due to teasing Gay-brief.
Not sure I'd want to be named after an angel.

Rtmhwales · 30/01/2023 22:50

I have a James and am pregnant with twins - don't know the sex yet but if they're boys they'll be Theo and Samuel so you and I clearly have a similar taste in names! So my vote is Samuel for a boy and Clara for girl.

SummerWinds · 30/01/2023 22:54

Love Iris for a girl, and all your boys names, l also like the name Rory.
