Help me choose! A sibling for Finley, Rupert and Clara...

[BunnyWilliams]

A sibling for Finley (Oliver), Rupert (Theodore) and Clara (Elowen).

Middle name this time will be Maria if a girl in honour of my mum, or Charles if a boy (mum's name is Carole Maria and Charles and Carole have the same name roots, plus it's DH's AND my dad's middle name).

These are our top choices:
Girl:
Sadie
Dulcie
Tessa

Boy:
Wilbur
Casper (this would have been Clara's name had she been a boy)
Barnaby

Opinions please! Surname starts with P with two syllables and is quite unusual (English).

I just found where the Sadie Cleaning Lady thing comes from.

Try you tube.😱

Yes I’m surprised at this one - it stands out as the odd one out, a bit like Tracy (sorry all the Tracys!) as it was really common in the 70s and 80s then there was Sadie Frost.
I love the existing three names and would go for Tessa or Barnaby as the fourth.

I like Tessa, it’s the only girls name in your list that has the same feel as your current DCs names. I like Casper but it doesn’t go with Charles.

Tessa and Barnaby. But I like Sadie too. "Sadie says,Sadie says...what does Sadie say?!"

I think the names Finley, Rupert and Clara all have very different vibes so I'm interested when people don't think so.

I like Dulcie the best, and then Sadie
im not keen on your options for boys names but it sounds like you’ve been set on Casper for a long time, so go with that

I thought Finley was a bit different, but Clara and Rupert are fairly similar I think, and another in that vein would sort of tie them together?

I think Dulcie, Casper and Sadie would muddle it all though.

Sadie Maria
Casper Charles

If you want alternative suggestions, I think Lucy, Eliza, Isobel, Miles, Sebastian, Nathaniel all go really nicely with your sibling set.

Lovely suggestions! Many are on the list already but there's a few new ones I've added. I love Sylvie but it's a friend's top choice (and she also has an Iris) so I can't use those unfortunately!

Dulcie I love.
I would choose Wilbur from your list.

I completely get where you're coming from, and I don't disagree. I just think it sounds really pretty and unusual. The Tracy connection does put me off though!

I love these the most too. Dulcie seems to be a fairly marmite name with more hate than love! I think it's beautiful.

The vibe thing is so interesting because I don't see the differences with my sibset at all, but perhaps the connection for me is that they are all names I love. Rupert and Clara are definitely more old fashioned which is my preference these days. Finley was our first and I dislike how popular the name has become in the last decade. It suits him completely though.

I like Tessa for a Girl and Casper for a boy
Also like Dulcie and Wilbur
Sadie don’t like at all and Barnaby is ok

Hetty
Hester
Hera
Willa

Felix
Wilf
Hugo

I think if you love certain names you shouldn't worry too much. They are your children after all.

But I think people were just mentioning it because you listed them all, so were commenting on "fit". I agree Clara and Rupert are more old fashioned, and also more European - specifically with those two quite Germanic, whereas Finley is more Irish/Scottish and so quite a different etymological background and, I agree, more contemporary sounding. But it is still quite a classic name.

I personally wouldn't use Clara and Sadie together for sisters. I think Clara is quite elegant and for me Sadie has a totally different feel. The Sadie video was truly awful!

I love the name Caspar- but I think the suggestion of Jasper Charles is good because of all the C's. I much prefer Wilfred (Wilf) or Wulfric (Wulfie) to Wilbur. Not keen on Barnaby.

Of the girls names, I really like Tessa but agree Tessa Maria is a bit Teresa May - but you don't normally say middle names so probably not an issue. Could you do Tessa Charlotte (same logic as Charles). I prefer Darcie to Dulcie. Sylvie is gorgeous. I do like Sadie because I loved the Joan Lingard books.

Also Tessa Caroline? Caroline comes from Charles as well...

Tessa and Casper from your list.
