Help me narrow down our list

[SunSparkle]

Hi

Expecting a boy and need a name that:

• compliments Beatrice (Bea) Winnie (our first child)
• Goes with a double barrelled surname (two names, two syllables each)
• isn't too popular

Shortlist is the following in the poll - let me know your favourites. Or suggest any others

Not Teddy (bear) when you have Winnie (pooh bear!)..
I have a Fynn...
Zachary is nice nn Zac..

I like Robin and Theodor. Oscar, Finn and Zac aren't my taste but perfectly acceptable, Milo I really don't like, it just feels like a name for a Labradoodle rather than a proper human name.

All but Robin are top 100 names, so you could just choose on that basis alone.

Are you Winnie the Pooh fans? You're only missing Christopher to collect the set.

@ClaudiaWankleman I think it must be in my affection somewhere from childhood but not specifically! I just like Beatrice Winnie as a name, and I separately like Robin. Need a Tigger and Kanga too

I like all except Zac. I voted Oscar. I like idea of Finneas nn Finn with Beatrice, but Oscar is my favorite name and it's short.

I can't see any names to vote for...

But about Beatrice and

Quentin
Reuben
Christopher

Theodore but Theo, not Teddy.

Zac and Finn are my favourites and love how they sound with Bea! Personally I would go for Zachary / Finlay on the bc but fine not to.

Love Oscar and Teddy / Theodore too but they don’t fit your criteria of not too popular.

Milo and Robin are good too, I just think they go a bit less well with Bea, and Robyn is being used more often for girls recently so that might put me off a bit, personally.

Do you like

Seb / Sebastian
Max / Maxim
Jasper
Isaac
Flynn
Dexter
Rory
Toby
Patrick
Leo

Not to my taste I'm afraid. Finn doesn't work to well to my ears anyway, if you were to shout over to them in a park it would sound like "Beef Tin".

I think Sebastian goes well with Beatrice though.

I can't see the list but:
Zac - fine
Finn - fine. Not keen on Finley
Oscar - goes well with Beatrice
Teddy/Theodore - both dreadful
Milo - milky drink
Robin - fine

They are all good names. I voted for Theodore.

Whatever you choose please make it short and easy to spell if you already have a long surname.

Zachary , nn Zac
Izaac, nn Zac

Finneas - spelt Phineas?
Finn - prefer Flynn

Teddy - every other baby or cockapoo-oodle seems to ge named Teddy at the moment

Robin - quite like, and seen a few baby Robins/Robyns around

Oscar - isn’t this really
