Boy options - no middle name ideas!

Albert (Bert/Bertie)

think I’d go with a less old-fashioned but otherwise classic choice to pair well with Primrose but avoid a twee sounding sibset. I think these make a classy and romantic sounding sibset:

Primrose and Cordelia
Primrose and Juliet
Primrose and Marina
Primrose and Louisa
Primrose and Eloise
Primrose and Viola
Primrose and Serena
Primrose and Claudia
Primrose and Genevieve (Vivi or Gigi)

For a brother I would steer away from the old man vibes. I like Primrose and Christopher (Kit) a lot. I would add:

Primrose and Benedict
Primrose and Caspian
Primrose and Reuben
Primrose and Vincent
Primrose and Edmund
Primrose and Lucian
Primrose and Evander
Primrose and Raphael
Primrose and Valentine (if you’re feeling brave!)

Mabel is lovely.

Laurence (Laurie) for a boy. I like Christopher (Kit) too.

ZinniaB · 19/11/2023 20:27

Oh yes, Laurence is a brilliant suggestion

I agree with @ZinniaB .

MrsWhites · 19/11/2023 22:03

Elodie and Jasper would be my suggestions!

I think Martha or Dorothy Joy sound lovely. Christopher is lovely too, but I agree that Laurie is adorable.

I know a little girl called Bluebelle. It really suits her.
I'd have Maybelle rather than Mabel.
Christopher and Laurence are nice boys names.

Lovely names
