Sibling for Henry & Isla?

April2024 · 24/09/2023 14:35

Hi all! I’m due in April and it’s still quite early so I’m not sure what we’re having yet. DH and I haven’t a clue what names we’d like this time around.

We already have Henry (5), and Isla (3). Choosing their names was really very easy, so we’re hoping it’s the same for this little one. We just need suggestions! Surname starts with a B.

TIA!

I adore Hugo!!! DH isn’t fond of it unfortunately - said it reminds him of an old neighbors dog 🙈

Wow, thanks for all the lovely suggestions! There are some really good ones.

DH and I quite like Ava, James, Theo, and Daisy! We love Hazel too but DH’s cousin has just had a Hazel, and the relation is too close.

Just look on top 20 baby names as other two names are pretty standard ‘top’ names

All ten names are gorgeous- good taste!

I wouldn’t put Isla and Ava together, they’re too similar sounding.
James was my gut instinct for boys.

April2024 · 25/09/2023 11:32

Update: DH and I have agreed on James for a boy. Now we just need to find a name for a little girl.

Isla & Henry would also like to add their suggestions for review: Chase or Skye (or Marshall, Rocky, Rubble, etc) 🙈😂
