Baby brother of Amelie

I am due in November with baby #2 - a boy this time! We haven’t found a name that either of us love. Please help!

Our first born is named Amelie Violet and we fell in love with the name as soon as we heard it. Technically, I had the name lined up since before I was pregnant but boy names just haven’t been the same.

The middle name will be William (family tradition).

Names on our very short shortlist so far:

  • Theo
  • James
  • Arlo

Please can anyone share ideas?

James is my favourite boys name

Kindnesscostsnothingtryit · 09/07/2024 21:40

Before I read your list Theo popped in my head so that was a bit weird but I gave a James and I love it even more now than the day I chose it.

Albie ?

Ghgrynn · 09/07/2024 21:49

I think Amelie and James are lovely together!

Firsttimebabymummy · 09/07/2024 21:59

I love James. James William sounds great too and goes well with Amelie. ❤️

I just came here to suggest something vaguely french sounding. Louis? Hugo?

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 10/07/2024 21:22

Both Theo or James work well - although my preference is for James as the more classic name, Theo feels more French style to match Amelie.

Arlo feels very trendy to me and is not my cup of tea.

Names like Henry, Leo, Louis, Lucas, Noah, Hugo, Gabriel, Arthur, Adam etc might be worth considering too as they are either French heritage or popular in France currently.

I have a daughter called Amelie Violet.....and her younger brother is called William James. 😁

Wow! What a coincidence!! 😂 William James is lovely. William is my partner’s name and he doesn’t fancy having the same first name. What were the names list you had for your William? We seem to have a similar (or the same) taste for names 😂
