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

Is the whole point of asking on MN not so you get honest answers?

Exactly. And my 'honest answer' is that most of the names the OP (and many posters) are suggesting are ridiculous or daft. And I would NEVER give a child a lifetime of many of these names suggested!

Don't ask on a public message forum if you're going to get salty, and butthurt if you get responses you don't find favourable, and then call people 'nasty' and 'cruel' for giving you an honest opinion.

God, not Delaney. It just makes me think of Delaney's Donkey.

Archer is the best from your boys list. I don't like any from the girls list.

For a boy:
Oakley
Jensen
Bay
Quinn
Dorian

For a girl:

Brodie
Avery
Mallory
Robyn
Quinn

Thank you for the earworm, @TwigletsAndRadishes.😱

Deacon for a boy?

I like Quinn but prefer it for girls

Tre or Trey for a boy as it he would be number 3?

That's only your opinion though, isn't it?

You actually have no idea what anyone else is thinking. For all you know - and brace yourself because this thought may not have occurred to you before - they might say 'lovely' because they mean it, and walk away thinking the parents had wonderful taste.

It's almost as if everyone could have a different taste in names than yours. Mind blowing, I know...

No babe, we're being honest. You're considering names that will make people laugh at your children, we are trying to point this out to you. Mumsnet is brutally honest, ask a question and don't get pissy because you're not just getting gushy enthusiasm. Unless you want your kids to sound like the firm in Suits, choose something less 'surname' for your third.

Sloane, Miller and for a girl Delaney is gorgeous. Henley is nice but for a girl rather than a boy.

For a boy Sloane, Miller and Roscoe.

Henley regatta.

If we’re going for English place names, twin boys could be Biggleswade & Basingstoke.

Love Roscoe @Awwlookatmybabyspider

Love Lennox from your boys list and Gia from your girls. Some suggestions:
Boys

Levi
Reid
Tate
Bowie/Bowen
Boden
Hayes
Keaton

Girls

I know it's been suggested already but love love Sutton!
Eden
Ember
Briar
Inez
Reese
Mallory

This thread is absolutely batshit. Especially those seriously chiming in with names of shitty bits of London/Kent. My favourite has to be Briar though, as in the bramble thickets that rats nest in. 😂

No hun, there's a difference between honesty and meanness. You've crossed that line, and the "brutal honesty" you're clapping yourself on the back for is just a bad case of rudeness.

Or so you fondly imagine...

If you really are privy to other people's thoughts, I hope you're making millions from that superpower.

I’m not sure where this flood of defensiveness on behalf of the OP is coming from. I’m not ‘fondly imagining’ anything. I don’t have to. Quite a few posters think the names the OP favours are ridiculous for various reasons, and given that Mn is just a bunch of people released from the obligation to be tactful, it’s an indicator that some people encountering the OP and her children in RL are likely to feel similarly. What the OP does with that information is up to her.

I love Sloane! Miller is nice too.

I think stick with your (albeit unintentional) surname theme.

I love Lincoln or Lester for a boy.

Girls are trickier- Taylor or Darcy maybe?

Congrats OP!

Jimberley ? 🤔

I take it you're American OP.

I think it’s because people are making fun of the op’s existing children’s names. You’re right that the whole point of the names forum is for people to give honest opinions on potential names for future children without having to be tactful, exactly as you say. However, making fun of the names of the op’s real-life children feels very mean and rude.

People aren't making fun of the existing names individually they sound fine but together they sound like a business.

If Op doesn't want them to sound like a business she needs to break the surname theme, be careful what she chooses from the 3rd child. Adding a 3rd surname will reinforce the business vibe.

Bodger (made chairs).

Litchfield
Greene
Benham
Reeves
Chesterton
Kinley
Folkhard
Hayward

I’m actually really warming to the London estate agent theme.

I was going to say EXACTLY the same as this!

I'm not being mean or rude, nor am I clapping myself on the back

Hun

Sutton is awful.

You did ask.
