Boys name locked in… help us with a girls name!

[BunMum26]

Boys name will definitely either be Isaac George or Reuben George.

girls however, we can’t agree.

he likes Freya and Florence. We both kind of like Charlotte, Phoebe and Violet but I’m not sure either of them are ‘the one’. I do love Violet however my friends daughter is Violet so not sure we can go there.

he’s vetoed all of my favourite names, I’m clinging on to Rosa, Eliza, and Annie.

suggestions please :)

Vita
Virginia
Violeta
Viola
Vivien

Juliette
Loretta
Scarlett
Olive

Freya and Florence both feel poetic and main character vibes so how about:

Ophelia
Astrid
Isolde
Lyra
Imogen
Aurora
Morgana
Circe
Athena
Elowen
Vesper

So, I have dd with 2 of your 3 favourite names, and the 3rd is my top choice for current pregnancy! What about Matilda or Sienna?

Scarlett
ruby
emmeline
annabel
eloise
Chloe
flora
Juliet
tabitha
thea
isobel

I love both Annie and Charlotte. Cute and timeless xx

Mabel sound great to me! :)

I particularly like Freya and Phoebe!

Felicity
Nicolette
Georgia
Alexandra
Paige
Thea
Whitney
Eden
Valerie
Wendy
Zoe
Ivy
Renee
Annelise
Josette

Charlotte is a lovely name! I also like Rosie (over Rosa) and Eliza.
Isaac and Alice sounds lovely, but a lot of girl names seem to go well with either of your boy names!

Haha thanks! Yes, I’ve suggested Anna with nn Annie but again he doesn’t like it :( don’t think we will be able to agree on a name at all 😭 I said to him again last night (after doing Chinese gender prediction which said girl!) about Rosa and Eliza and he said he just can’t get on board. I could cry at the thought of not using my favourite names if it is a girl!

Elodie?

We have a Louisa Alice. And yes - she does get looby-loo at home but it really never occurred to us about shortened names when we chose it. Turns out nobody else shortens it apart from us. (But son is still Matthew to us but Matt to everyone else. Go figure!)

Love your names. Most of them were on my list.
I also had

Juliette
Marianne
Flora
Penelope (Penny)
Lucille
Lucy
Dot
Maggie
Margeaux / Margot
Ameline
Emmeline
Mimi
Elizabeth
Kitty
Bertie (Alberta?) love Bertie for a girl NN but not so much the full name.

Congratulations btw

Violetta the French version.

I like Annie Violet or Annie Rose

None of my girls have what I would have claimed as my "favourite " names they are now in their 20 and I love their names. I've gone off one of my then favourites but my dds name I love as I love them.

Personally I prefer your dh names you yours but thats neither here nor there. You need a name you both feel happy about.

Have you tried one of those sites where you both go through a list and say yes or no and see what you both say yes too?

Edited spelling

Verity?

@BunMum26 what about Elizabeth. Then loads of options: Eliza, Lizzie, Betty, Beth and you can see what she suits as she grows.

tbh I think he’s mad. Eliza’s a great name.

Reuben is a nice name, I personally couldn’t use Isaac because in our local accent it sounds like “I suck”.

Of your girls names I love Phoebe the most but they’re all nice. Violet I’m put off slightly by how close it is to Violent, but again that could be an accent thing.

FWIW, I liked the the name Fleur until I heard one of DHs elderly relatives say it. With the local accent it sounded like she was being sick 🤦🏻‍♀️.
