Sibling for Sloane and Miller

[PennyLane335]

I am expecting baby number 3 early next year and we are not finding out the gender so I need suggestions of boys and girls names.

Baby number 3 will be sibling to Sloane (girl) and Miller (boy).

Names we like (but are set on) so you can get our vibe-

Boys

• Archer
• Henley
• Cash
• Lennox

Girls

• Elara
• Delaney
• Lennie
• Gia

I like Henley, Elara and Lennie.
Also Oakley and Tate

We have the same taste in names

D'Sean
Elijah
Abbie
Odell
Nathan
Ashton
Gene
Felipe
Denzel

Shayna
Sheila
Barbara
Maud
Sharon
Frances
Jo - Anna / anne / Elle
Norma
Darcy
Brittany
Felicity
Morag
Moira

Agreed. Op you do need to be careful because they are in danger of sounding like a couple of pubs, like Slones, Miller & Carter. If they don't sound like a business partnership.

Completely agree

I’m guessing you’re in the states OP? No one in the UK (this is predominantly a UK site) would call their kid Sutton - bit of a drab, grotty suburb of London. Does give RHOBH vibes though! But Sutton Stracke is an awful person.

FWIW (worried my first para sounds mean, was just giving context!) I actually love Sloane and Miller, if I was in the states my kids would be called things like Cassidy and Blaire. My grandmother is Avery.

I once had an American colleague called Bramley, which I rather liked. Wholesome, like apples!
I like strong names, particularly for girls.

This

Well, I assume the OP posted on here for frank opinions, rather than ask her friends and family.

OP, not Archer if you’ve already got a Miller. All you need is Carter and Fletcher to sound like a medieval village cosplay.

Gardner?! When has Gardner been a name? Would anyone really want to be called that, what next Cleaner, Plumber?

(Yes I know spelling is different but the sound is the same).

Cooper, Thatcher, Gongfermer....

Butcher, Baker, Candlestickmaker.

Gray/Grey has been suggested a few times, not keen - it's not a great colour after all. You wouldn't call a kid Beige or Magnolia.

These names are hilarious! I'm assuming this is a joke thread OP?

But you can do that with any set of names, lady at work sounds like she's writing a dickens novel when she rhymes off her 5 kids names. Same with mum at school it's just really obvious bible names. But they are all nice names individually and it doesn't really matter if someone thinks they sound a certain way

Miller & Carter is actually a franchise of affordable steak houses, or at least it is in south of england: https://www.millerandcarter.co.uk/#/
Solicitors would be an upmarket take, one I don’t think is warranted in this instance, verging on a compliment.

I would go for an obviously 'first name' type name to ground the corporate nature of the other two (you said yourself you'd like to break up the unintentional theme).

That doesn't have to mean a 'boring', traditional name, you can still go bold and beautiful, but I would definitely use a name that is obviously not a surname.

Yep, why on earth would an American double check baby names on a UK forum? For what purpose? My tenner is still on the Midlands…
Hopefully OP will surface to confirm.

Blaise
Blythe

Lance
Lloyd

Sutton is a town in Surrey so that wouldn’t be for me. How about Blair for a boy and Drew for a girl?

Calling your child George or Jack is pretty much calling them Beige or Magnolia, in fairness.

I don’t think the OP is American, either. I think she just has a very specific taste in names, and doesn’t think much about their UK cultural connotations, like Sloane Ranger.

I really like Sailor for a girl. Has Blake been mentioned? Also like Milan and Roman.

I very much doubt she's in the US. Although I think this style of name originated in the US (I first remember noticing it in 00s US TV shows although I'm sure it's much older), it's very popular in the UK nowadays.

OP- the world would be a dull place if we all had the same taste in things. Mumsnet isn't an accurate reflection of the real world. It skews older and more conservative (socially rather than politically). Preferred names tend to be of the James/Alexander/Charlotte/Alice ilk. (Second para not aimed at you at all Massive Salad, I realise you've qualified your comments.)

My DH suggested Croydon but I think that's a bit down market. (I grew up there!) He said Kent, which is OK. Why not Westminster - go up in the world!?

I was thinking about this last night. Bailey is just a random word. It sounds alright but its meanings aren't relevant (part of a castle), or if they are, in a negative way - Old Bailey, Labrador up the road. As for Parker - Thunderbirds chauffeur or nosey? I genuinely don't understand why you'd go for that. Avery is a set of not very pretty industrial scales. I know I don't have to understand and my thoughts are totally irrelevant, but the meanings of names, along with the sounds, have always been important.

@ODFOx I mentioned above, Sloane we just liked as it was unusual- heard it from Ferris Beuller and Miller is my mother's maiden name.

In the UK yes :)

@FlutteryButterfly I really like Reid.
