Sibling name for Ivy

Hi everyone, looking for a little bit of help. I have a little girl Ivy and very soon she is going to be a big sister. I am happy with Ruby if baby is a girl. Really struggling with boys names! Top 3 names are Jasper, Jude or Gene. Which do you think goes best with Ivy or any other ideas? Thanks so much!

Jasper and Jude are much better than Gene imo. Jasper is more unusual so I would choose it over Jude.

I was going to say Holly for a girl - Holly & Ivy would be fab!
Quite like Jude

I love Ruby and Jude is an excellent name.

shockeditellyou · 17/11/2023 11:15

I would go with Maud for a girl. For boys I'd probably go with something like George or maybe a Wilfred.

I love Ivy with Jasper. Jude is good, too. Gene is a nickname for Eugene, i think? Not as good either way.

Other ideas: Sebastian, Felix, Max, Tobias (Toby), Nico, George, Caspar, Dominic, Christian, Thomas, Robin.

Ruby and Jasper are lovely. Not keen on Gene.

Some more boys' names to complement Ivy:
Victor
Felix
Ferdinand nn Ferdy
Milton
Donovan
Antony
Trevor

Gene is a good name. Never Jasper it sounds like a pets name, in part because I knew a dog called Jasper as child.

DesertSnow · 17/11/2023 18:12

Jude and Jasper are great. Jasper is more unusual, so if that's an appealing factor go for that.

Thinkbiglittleone · 17/11/2023 18:29

Ivy and Elody for girls

Thinkbiglittleone · 17/11/2023 18:31

Ivy and Henry for a boy

LylaLee · 17/11/2023 18:33

Not Holly. Comedy matchy matchy names are for pets not children.

Luhou · 17/11/2023 19:11

Ivy and Harry
Ivy and Wilfred
Ivy and Alexander
Ivy and Stanley.

I really love Jude, not keen on the others.
Jasper sounds like a name for a naughty cat/dog and Gene is just an old man name to me. There would also be issues with people thinking he was named the women’s Jean.

Bookkeepermum · 18/11/2023 20:34

My cat is Jasper. Also a horse named Jasper so I love that name. BUT it is getting popular for children.
I know of 4 in my daughter's nursery. Jude is also getting popular as well as Kit. I don't know Gene but I personally don't particularly like the name.

Mamabearandcubs · 18/11/2023 21:14

I like Jude. Also think teddy, Rory or Isaac are cute names with ivy.
