Help with middle name for 3rd baby? (Surprise gender!)

21 replies

Hotchoccie13 · 25/05/2026 20:14

Hello!

I'm 31 weeks pregnant with my third (surprise gender!)

Siblings are - Ellie Marie and Thomas Henry - Surname begins with L.

We've decided on George for our boys name, but unsure on our middle name - our options are - George William L or George Arthur L

For a girl, we think we have decided on Alice for a first name.
Middle name options - Alice Caitlin L, Alice Rose L, Alice Ivy L or Alice Evelyn L

However we also like Caitlin as a first name - Caitlin Alice L or Caitlin Rose L

We don't want any other suggestions (as we've been through names A LOT now) but would love some input on favourites for boy and girl from the above lists?

Thank you so much 😊🤍✨

George William (prefer Arthur but not GAL).
Alice Caitlin because I don't like Ivy or Evelyn and Rose doesn't flow with Alice.

I know you said you didn't want suggestions but Alice Georgia sounds good and George Alistair flows.

George William

Agree with this. I also prefer Arthur but no boy wants to be called GAL.

Except George Alistair also gives you GAL!

Alistair George is great though. I think you’re onto something there!

ScruffMuffin · 25/05/2026 21:13

Agreed - you can't give him the initials GAL!

George William or Alice Evelyn

George William
Alice Caitlin
Lovely!

George William and George Arthur are both handsome.

I prefer George William.

Alice Rose sounds over Sssy. Alice with Ivy or Evelyn are not to my personal taste, sorry.

So Alice Caitlin or Caitlin Alice or Caitlin Rose are my faves.
Ellie and Allie could be confusing for sisters!

With Ellie Marie and Thomas Henry I choose ..
George William and Caitlin Rose.

It does but it George Lester doesn't flow so well, unless it goes as a full name. Smile

If the surname is Lee, I'd use George Henry.

I do like all of your names but my personal choices would be George William or Alice Caitlin.

I think most of those combinations sound fine op EXCEPT I really don't think Ellie and Alice work as sisters. It is far too similar and sounds a bit silly. I'd go for Caitlyn Alice.

Thewalrusandthecarpenter · 26/05/2026 18:33

George William and Alice Caitlin.

Caitlin is lovely and I like it with Rose. Be aware there is a singer called Caitlin Rose in case that bothers you. Not super famous but well known.
