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

[Dareisayiseethesunshine]

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

[SausageRoll2020]

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.

[ClaudiaWankleman]

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.

[SunSparkle]

@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

[oldnorsesaga]

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.

[pinkmags]

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

But about Beatrice and

Quentin
Reuben
Christopher

[FlyingPizzaMonkey]

Theodore but Theo, not Teddy.

[Moreteaandchocolate]

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

[TerriPie]

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.

[DuchessOfSausage]

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

[SkaneTos]

They are all good names. I voted for Theodore.

[Anotherillnes]

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

[Riverlee]

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
