Rufus and Roberta

Looking for a boys name and a girls name as baby gender is a surprise.
Doesn't need to start with R!

We have a single syllable surname so looking for a name with two or more syllables.

We really like turn of century names, if you don't, feel feel not to comment! Each to their own :)

I second Victoria as pp suggested, goes well with your other children’s names and has a nice ‘r’ sound in the middle that ties in nicely.

For a boy, how about
William
Edward
Percival
Herbert

Barleysugar86 · 21/06/2024 20:12

I think it needs to be a R name as it would feel out of place otherwise. Love Roberta as a name :)

I'd have Rosalind for a girl/ Rosa for short. I think it flows really well with her siblings.
