Due Any day now for a sibling (gender unknown but nub theory suggested girl) for siblings

Florence Xanthe (Flossie)
Hamish Xavier
and
Rory Ivo

We quite like slightly more traditional first names and more of the moment middle names. Current options below but none feel ‘right’. Names we can’t use are Angus, Freya, Duncan and Poppy.

Otto
Christian (Kit)
Fergus
Dorothy/ea
Margot
Constance
Theodora
Elizabeth/Eliza

It's a shame Angus and Duncan are off, your boys' names feel very Scottish. Maybe Alistair, Cameron or similar
For girls I've always liked Blythe, from your list
I think Margot works well

Bettyscakes · 30/12/2023 21:54

Fergus

aveline161 · 30/12/2023 21:54

Fergus from your list. Callum, Bruce, Fraser

Fleur405 · 30/12/2023 21:56

From your list I really think Otto doesn’t match since the other boys have pretty Scottish names. Not saying you have to go Scottish I just think it doesn’t fit.

favourites from your list are Fergus (though maybe too close to Hamish?) and Eliza. Shame you can’t have Angus, I love it!

Elizabeth is great.
Cameron?
Fraser?

Fiona??

How about Gabriel?

DisplayPurposesOnly · 30/12/2023 22:41

I like Christian for a girl rather than a boy

Of your list I would probably go with Dorothea nn Dorey or Dora
I like Elizabeth nn Eliza and Margot, but there are a lot of them.
Too many Theo/Theodore/Thea/Theodoras as well
I like Constance but Flossie and Connie is a bit much - Cora instead?

Alistair
Kester
Innes
Douglas
James nn Jamie
Rafe
Nathaniel (Nate)
Patrick
Laurence
Dashiell
Jonah
Ezra
Joss
Gabriel (Gabe)
Gregor
Jerome
Magnus
Milo
Nicholas or Dominic (Nico)
Daniel
Luke
Hector
Owen

I like Christian nn Kit (or Christy)
Don’t mind Fergus but a bit much with Hamish - Ferdinand instead?! Or Francis nn Frank
Otto just makes me think of the SS (I know this is irrational)

Silas is nice though..

I thought the same re Silas.

Apologies Alasdair as a pp has written is better than Alastair . I really like that.
