Please help!

We have a Maximilian, known as Max. Baby no2 is a girl due very soon and we just can't decide on a name. Our current list, in no particular order, looks like this:

Roxanne
Iris
Beatrix
Margot
Phoebe

Which would you pick?
Any other suggestions/opinions/help will be very welcome!

It’ got to be Ruby! Google Max and Ruby. V sweet Canadian tv series about brother and sister.

I was going to say Ruby too. I love the two together.

Your choices are nice but I’d err away from Roxanne because of the ‘red light’ connotations.

WetBandits · 05/02/2023 13:24

Phoebe from your list, but ‘Penny’ sprang to mind when I looked at the title.

SouperNoodle · 05/02/2023 13:24

I asked my 4 year old and she said Daisy

dustydewdrop · 05/02/2023 13:25

Max and Rosie

My Max would've been Violet had he been a girl and then my second DS would also have been Violet had he been a girl. I like Iris best from your list although I think it's becoming the new Olivia/Amelia.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 05/02/2023 20:07

Max and
Cleo.
Nina.
Lucy.
Eva

Mumofgirls2017 · 06/02/2023 14:56

Favourite is Iris, all go well apart from Roxanne I think. I’d imagine Maximilian and

Violet
Aurora
Ivy
Theodora
Elodie
Rosalie
Imogen
Penelope
Ottilie
Henrietta
Daphne
Athena
Eloise

Minnie? NN Min??

Sorry - not helpful but had a chuckle to myself!

Giles1008 · 05/04/2023 20:25

We have a Maximilian & Clementine. They go by Max and Clemmie but I know Clemmie isn’t for everyone.

Margot was on our shortlist but a close friend used it first. Margot would be my next choice, beautiful name.

Meredith

TwinsAndTiramisu · 05/04/2023 21:41

We have a Max, and his sister's shortlist was as follows:

Gabriella. Max and Gabi
Anastasia. Max and Ana (pronounced Arna)
Evangeline. Max and Eva
Valentina. Max and Val
Saskia. (No shortening)
Camille. (No shortening)
Hester. (No shortening)
Annabel. (No shortening)
