Advice on baby girl name

[kyoto5]

We are due to have our second child - a baby girl, soon and our other child’s name is Felix. We are tossing up between Fleur and Zoey for the baby’s name. Does it sound weird having Felix and Fleur. Our names also start with the same letter - think Belinda and Blake (not our real names).

What are people’s opinions or other suggestions?

I also really liked Blair and Brooke but having 3 B names and our son starting with F felt weird.

My other favourite names were Violet and Sylvie but my partner vetoed them!

I prefer Fleur.
Don't like the Zoey spelling.

Zoe/Zoey - I quite like it with the Y although you’ll/she’ll always have to specify “with a y”.

Brooke also lovely. Not a big fan of Fleur.
really dislike Blair - sounds very masculine to me (though I know it can be used as a girls name).

Zoey

Zoë

Who doesn’t know how to pronounce Zoe? No one uses the dieresis

Zoë. Agree that Fleur is very bleurgh!

I much prefer Zoey to Fleur. As someone else said Fleur is just like a noise that trails off.
Aganst the grain I actually love the Y on the end of Zoe and think it makes it so much more special and pretty! So if you like that too then don’t be put off..

in terms of matching initials, I think it’s ok, maybe a bit twee but not awful…
I do think maybe a step too far in your case though as you two already have matching initials..

so say you guys are Laura and Luke and then you have Felix and Fluer. Sounds lile 2 double acts…

I know a family who all have the same initial! Mum dad and 2 kids.

It’s not the first thing you think of however we did have the ck version one day about how it came about.

They both liked the name of their son and then when they had their DD they thought they better not give her a name stating son something different!

A bit like you BBBF!

I like Fleur and also Sylvie.

other suggestions

Felix and Pearl
Felix and Evie
Felix and Eden
Felix and Sadie

Felix and Zoe is lovely.

Agree Fleur is a bit bleugh in some accents. If you wanted an F name - Ferne, Faye, Fia? (But I don't think you should get hung up on initials, it really doesn't matter, just choose a name you like).

Fwiw I like Sylvie. Other suggestions -
Felix and Margot
Felix and Poppy
Felix and Lydia
Felix and Heidi
Felix and Rose
Felix and Rowan

I think we have uncannily similar baby names!

I like Felix and Fleur, but prefer Zoe or Sylvie. Have you considered Flora?

Also, don’t be put off by Felix and Fleur sounding a bit twee together. They are separate people who will grow up and could end up living miles apart. You are naming a whole person, not just Felix’s sister.

Funny you say that as Felix and Zoe are the two main kids in the CBeebies show Messy Goes to Okido.

But Zoe is nicer (without the y).

Seemingly the people who stick the ‘y’ on the end 😅

If we can get partner to un-veto Sylvie that would get my vote!
