oh Gregory too. And some good suggestions by pp.

CharlotteFlax · 22/11/2025 23:31

Two great names already! My brain said Max straight away but he might feel cheated letters-wise!

Like the previous suggestions, too. Maybe with Max as a middle name cos it fits the vibe?

Girls-

Hannah
Zoe (but again, cheated for letters!)
Sophia
Sadie

Looks like everyone is assuming you’re having a boy!

If baby is a girl:
Beatrice
Charlotte
Emma
Florence
Elizabeth
Amelia
Sophie
Emily

Boy or girl?

William

minipie · 22/11/2025 23:35

Ah my brain automatically went boy!

so many girl options

Vivienne
Eloise
Cicely
Ariadne
Marianne
Madeleine
Sylvia
Diana

I really like Zoe and your boys will likely end up as Ben and Alex / Zander anyway! So wouldn’t overthink the letters

Jasper for a boy

Oliver or Annabelle

QBTheRoundestOfBees · 22/11/2025 23:43
