First time asking Mumsnet, but we are struggling to settle on a name for our 3rd child. Sibling to Everly (nn Eve) and Oliver (nn Ollie).

Our shortlist is...

Girls names:

Nina
Erin (is another 'E' name wise though?)
Faye
Megan (nn Meg)
April

Boys names:

Felix
Benjamin (nn Ben)
Rory

Any other suggestions also welcome!
Going round in circles here.

Thank you :)

Patricia/ Patrick nn Paddy
Augusta / Augustus nn Gus

I like Nina from your girls' list and Felix from your boys'.

Roundincircles1 · 08/06/2023 18:53

I must say, these are our favourites at the moment too! I just keep second guessing. It's nice to get an outsider's opinion sometimes :)

Nina - I think it's really sweet
Erin - It's nice and sounds different from Everly so if you really wanted it you can use but prob best to use a different initial
Faye - Doesn't really go with your other kids' names
Megan (nn Meg) - It's really nice
April - Nice enough

Boys names:

Felix - Oh not for me, makes me think of cats
Benjamin (nn Ben) - Really lovely name
Rory - Beautiful

Favourites are Nina and Rory, but I love Benjamin too.

Trainerall · 08/06/2023 19:15

Love Benjamin and Rory

shoopshoopdedoo · 08/06/2023 19:24

Nina - love this!
Benjamin or Rory

Roundincircles1 · 08/06/2023 19:24

@ourflagmeansdeath
Thank you. I agree about Faye... I love the name but it doesn't sit right with the other two.

Girl: Megan and Nina

Boy: Felix (Benjamin a distant second)

DuchessOfSausage · 08/06/2023 19:39

Nina - nice
Erin - ok but I'm not keen on it. OK with Eve
Faye - prefer Fay
Megan (nn Meg) - Meg is lovely, not keen on Megan
April - no, not even for an April-born DD. It's better than Avril though.
I don't think the names need to 'go' together, just not sound silly (e.g. not Ollie and Molly or Eve and Steve).

Felix
Benjamin (nn Ben)
Rory
All ok but Benjamin by far the nicest.
Your girl's list is weaker - names a bit too trendy

cptartapp · 08/06/2023 19:40

Erin and Benjamin
Faye is lovely too. Nice as a middle name. Erin Faye?
Really dislike Felix.
Erica?

Louoby · 08/06/2023 19:50

Love Nina, Rory and Felix. Personally I think Benjamin is so boring; especially Ben!

JimJamJo · 08/06/2023 21:14

I like Nina and Rory

Mumofgirls2017 · 08/06/2023 22:20

Faye or Megan and Benjamin with your others

my favourites are Nina and Felix though

user1492757084 · 09/06/2023 03:05

Everly, Oliver and ... best suited from your list ..
Megan - Meg
April
Benjamin
Felix
Benjamin Felix and Megan April

Do you like Edwin, Patrick or Bethany?

portalid · 09/06/2023 05:45

Love Ben the most from your boys list. Rory is ok. I think Felix is so bad honestly. I wouldn't even usually share such a strong opinion but I cannot understand people liking that for a human 😳I would struggle to date someone called Felix even!

I love Nina!

Benjamin is my favourite boys name, so that gets a big yes from me!

I like April from your girls list, but I wouldn’t use another name starting with a vowel. Megan is nice.

Suggestions:

Everly, Oliver and Kate
Everly, Oliver and Zara
Everly, Oliver and Tessa

Everly, Oliver and Caleb
Everly, Oliver and George
Everly, Oliver and Lucas

QueenieK · 09/06/2023 06:25

I think Everly and Oliver are lovely names but very “R R R” heavy so personally I would avoid Rory and Erin.

I love Nina not keen on the boys names but that’s my preference.
What about Tom / Jack / Jude?

GoodVibesHere · 09/06/2023 06:52

Nina - lovely, it's sweet but not twee.

Benjamin is perfect.

Beautifulsunflowers · 09/06/2023 06:59

From your list Nina or Benjamin

other suggestions
Harriet
Sarah
Beatrix/Beatrice

Isaac
Toby
Samuel

Roundincircles1 · 09/06/2023 07:00

@user1492757084 thank you. Funnily enough I met a little Patrick not so long ago and found the name really charming. I don't like Pat though, so that would be a worry.

Nina’s a lovely name. Direct simple elegant and Spanish for girl!

Roundincircles1 · 09/06/2023 07:02

@portalid I appreciate that Felix is a bit of a marmite name and for some has a strong Cat association
