Sibling suggestions for Rosalind and Benedict

[Swissmeringue]

We're expecting our third (we don't know the sex yet, might wait until the baby arrives to find out).

Our children are Rosalind Mary Ellen (nn Rosie) and Benedict William Charles (nn Ben). We like quite traditional, formal names, that aren't overly popular, but with options for nicknames that are less formal while they are little.

We use family names for middle names, likely choices for middle names for a girl would be Jayne, Olive or Josephine. For a boy John, Patrick or Joseph. I quite like Madeline for a girl, I also like Emmeline but DH won't go for it. I'm at a bit of a loss for boy names though, we could go super traditional, so George, Henry etc. But nothing is inspiring me.

Suggestions are appreciated!!

Love your children's names; some suggestions:
Sebastian
Wilbur
Edmund
Alexander
Georgette
Phoebe
Eleanor
Juliette

I have a Benedict the meaning is - the blessed one
Rosalind meaning is - gentle, soft tender

So in a similar vein

Frederick - peaceful leader
Alexandra - defender of mankind

So Fred, Freddie
and Alex, Lexi

Sylvia

Joanna would go beautifully.

Stay Shakespearean:

Ophelia
Celia
Miranda
Beatrice
Adriana
Portia
Juliet

Romeo
Banquo
Hamlet
Conrad
Ferdinand
Demetrius
Oberon

Exactly this - but I would also add Cressida or Cordelia for a girl

Agree or Johanna

I love Cressida! Can't see DH going for it but I'm adding it to the list.

Some lovely suggestions thank you all. I think part of the reason it's hard by the time you get to a third child is so many names are "taken". Half the names I've liked that people have suggested are names of my children's friends, or my friends children. It doesn't mean we can't use them, I do realise that, but it feels a bit weird to do so.

Clementine- Clemmie

Rupert
Hugo

OP
We have three
All boys

We never gave it a second thought if we knew people with the names we chose for the boys

Benvolio. Volumnia. Dogberry. Bottom.

Start a new theme - you'll need two more kids, but Tristan and Iseult fit with your current two.

Saul/Solomon (Sol)
Isabella (Isa/Izzy/Bella)

I love the name Rosalind. It's a lovely classic. Benedict is great too.

Celia is beautiful too but perhaps too much of a Shakespearean pairing! Maybe Cecilia instead?
I don't think you need to stick a Shakespearean theme at all.
I expect most of these have already been suggested but I think they would fit well:

Dominic
Gregory
Lawrence
Sebastian
Alexander
Edmund
Edward
Thomas
Julian or Julius
Isaac
Leopold
Hugo
Linus
Nathaniel

Eleanor or Helena
Alice
Julia or Juliet
Claudia
Marianne
Adelaide
Genevieve
Marigold
Beatrix
Flora
Your suggestion of Emmeline is also lovely. It's a shame your DH doesn't like it.

Ophelia, of course.
Caliban, naturally

Rosalind Mary Ellen. Benedict William Charles and ...

Johanna Jayne Olive
Claire Olive Josephine
Susanna Jayne Josephine
Cosima Jayne Josephine

Joseph John Patrick
Colin John Patrick
Alistair John Joseph
Henry John Patrick

Marianne- this was my girl name - I had a boy.
Such a classic, beautiful name. Leonard Cohen's song made me love it. Gorgeous, I can't believe I left it off my list of suggestions!
