What goes with Charlie and Holly...

[Zebraa]

I have my first scan tomorrow and I am so so nervous so I am taking my mind of it by choosing names.

We're not finding out with this baby as we have one of each so thought this would be a nice suprise.

Any suggestions?

I met a little Betty the other day, very sweet I thought.

do you really want 3 names all ending in the same sound?
I'd avoid "-ie" or "-y" for the third I think.

all our 3 girls end in IE and Y. Boys are English kings

Isabel? Isabella?

claire didn't you turn off your laptop ten minutes ago?

I was going to then I got distracted

I think Charlie and Holly are such lovely names, I feel a bit nervous trying to think of one that will really fit!

Albie
Jake
Toby
Gabriel
Ned
Rowan

Annie
Jenna
Lauren
Rosa
Wren
Harriet / Hattie

? ? ?

I really like Lauren and Rose and James and Luke.

Ted

I can't believe how much I love Ted!! I have never even considered it until piecenharmoknee suggested it!!!

Is it very popular?

I know a couple of little Teds, but certainly where I live there aren't any more than the 2 I know. It's a lovely name!

liaghen did you plan that or was it just coincidence your 3 favourite names end with the same sound?

for a boy how about George?

for a girl:

Megan
Louise
Grace

nappy. TBH, once we'd got the 1st 2 with an Y ending, dh suggested we choose something that ended in same sound. Bless him. We ttc now so god knows what we'll call new baby, gets harder the more children you have.

Charlie, Holly and Lauren?

Charlie holly and emma
charlie holly and Ben

Lauren and Ted

Can't believe we have chosen already and we don't even know what we're having!!!

How organised! I suppose 3 pregnancies later you've previously given names a lot of though!!

I am just about to go for my second scan next week and have also been thinking names - I like the idea of using names from people who I have loved and past on - i.e. my gran etc however they all become quite old fashioned names - my gran was called Edna and my Grandad Eric, but then my dads middle name is William - soooo confusing!!! Do you think Edna would be ok as a middle name???

This is my first little bundle and I am 19 weeks today so any advice on anything is extremely welcome!!! :D

Lauren & Ted !

Very good choices, Zebraa

Pinkcaz - in my family it's the middle names that have been linked to family, so we continued with that - we chose a first name based on what we really liked, and a middle name linked to family. I think that works especially well if the family name you pick is one you're not 100% sure of as a first name - does that make any sense at all??

Phoebe, Daisy or Zoe for a girl. For a boy Richie or Teddy or Zachary for a boy.

It ties in with the ie but isn't quite so ee ee ee

There is a programme called Ben and Holly's kingdom. I'd avoid Ben.
