Name suggestions!

[FancyGoose]

Hello,

Expecting our first baby in a few weeks and would love suggestions for names. Short list so far is:

Boys -

Wilfred (Wilf) - My top one but partner isn't as keen
Edward
William
James

Girls -

Harriet - my partner not too sure again
Georgina (Georgie or GiGi)
Alice
Sophie
Audrey
Violet (love this name but partner has vetoed it but just so you have a sense of names that I like)

We like quite traditional names, not fussed about popularity. Baby's surname will begin with an L and is two syllables and we are not keen on alliterarion (which is a shame as Laurence nn Laurie is a name I have always loved). Middle name for a boy will be Timothy. For a girl, undecided but maybe Eve, Dorothy or Diane depending on which first name we go for (all meaningful to us).

Thank you!!

I like heritage style names too - my ones if you want any are:
Rosie
Bonnie
Elsie

Lucas
Alexander
Arthur

I like Edward and James best of your boys’ choices, and Georgina or Alice from your girls’ names, but they’re all lovely!

James and Alice - both are wonderful names

Love Edward. ❤️

I really like all those names with the exception of Georgina.

other boys names:
Peter
Tristan
Francis

girls:
Arabella
Ivy
Edith
Catherine

Alice is a lovely classic name, what about Alice Evelyn Lxxx?

In order: James, Edward, William, Wilfred (Wilf) . All the names will be shortened. Do you like the diminutives?
Suggestions: George, Henry, Harry, Richard, Charles, Nicholas

Harriet - like it and Hattie
Georgina - like it but GiGi is awful
Alice - love it
Sophie - like it but Sophia/Sofia is too popular
Audrey - don't like it. Has a miserable look and sound.
Violet - not keen

I like Timothy as a second name. It would also be an attractive first name. Tim is strong.
Your three boy names sound great:

Edward Timothy 10
James Timothy 10
William Timothy 9
Timothy Edward 10

Harriet, Georgina, Alice, Sophie and Audrey are all gorgeous.
Others .. Rosemary, Alison, Eliza, Claire, Susanna

Georgina Eve
Alice Dorothy
Harriet Eve
Sophie Dianne
Audrey Georgina
Rosemary Eve
Eliza Dorothy
Claire Dorothy
Susanna Dorothy

William and Sophie are my favourites.

Thomas
Sebastian
Francis (Frankie)
Joseph
Edmund

Lucy
Nancy
Beatrice (Bea)
Florence
Josephine (Josie)

Frederick
George
vincent
eric
leonard
jasper
felix
sebastian

henrietta
sophia
clara
eloise
juliet
matilda
helena
beatrice

I'd just stick to your shortlist op: it's an excellent list.

The only one I'm not fond of is Audrey, and Georgina is not as nice as Georgiana or Georgia imo, particularly as I really don't like Gina.

But other than that, I think they are all lovely. Sophie is quite heavily used atm; the others might be fresher.

Georgina with Gigi as a nn I love.

Wilfred isn’t great, yet Wilf is super cute!

But they’re all nice names!

Love the name/nickname Gigi for a girl :)

other ideas:
Holden Timothy
Caleb Timothy
Nicholas Timothy
Christopher Timothy

Abigail Eve
Caroline Eve
Molly Eve
Wendy Eve

Davina Diane
Jessica Diane

Josephine
Eleanor
Harry
Joseph

Love the name Audrey, if I had a girl it would be named Audrey or Gwen.

Love Timothy and Dorothy the most - as first names.

Georgia and Helena are similar to your girls list!

Wilfred (Wilf) - not overly keen on.Wilfred but Wilf / Wilfie is a gorgrous nn. I also like Walt which is a similar feel

Edward - lovely but not keen on Ed / Eddie which i kmagine it would get shortened too

William - nice but a bit dull. I like the shortening Liam though

James - lovely classic that you dont hear as much these days. The youngest James i know is 9

Harriet - love Harriet nn Hattie. It reminds me of Harriet the spy

Georgina (Georgie or GiGi) prefer Georgia. I like Georgie but not Gigi

Alice - lovely classic

Sophie - nice just a bit dull

Audrey - ok. Nice enough

Violet - not a fan, i prefer Viola

Congratulations!
from your list my favourites are Edward Timothy nn Ned and Harriet Dorothy nn Hattie.

Favourites are Edward and Georgina but it's a really good strong list

I love all the names on your lists, and feel you can't go wrong with any of them! My favourites, though very hard to choose, are possibly Wilfred /Wilf and Georgina.

other ideas:
Wilkin
Edmund
George
Jasper
Hugo
Rafe
Nicholas

Eleanor
Imogen
Bridget
Matilda
Jemima
Juliet
Claudia
Flora

Nice list, I like Edward nn Ned and you can’t go wrong with William.

How about Alexander/Alexandra or Elizabeth?

I once knew a little girl called Aubrey which I thought was sweet. A bit softer than Audrey.

For a girl, I think Diane would be the best middle name.

Georgina Diane would be stunning.
I also like Audrey Diane.

For a boy, I think William L . . . brings too many Ls too close together.

James Timothy L . . . . would be very nice.
Edward Timothy is a little clunky.

Suggestions -
Elspeth Eve
Charlotte Eve
Josephine Dorothy

Hugo Timothy
Charles Timothy
George Timothy

Nice names. My favourites are William and Sophie.

James is lovely and underused.
Dorothy also fab. I like Marigold too!
