What do you think of these names and any other suggestions please?

[goandshowdaddy]

I already have a DS whose name begins with F and ends in 'ie'! So, not sure whether to have another 'ie' ending or keep it short and simple, or long and lovely. No idea if we're having a boy or girl.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Something fairly strong but not boring.

This is my list so far, what do you think?:

Polly
Lily
Allie
Ana (Anastasia)/Annie
Daisy
Libby
Olivia (Livvy)

Sam
Jasper
George
Ralph
Rory
Joseph
Robert
Evan
Vincent (Vinnie)
Reuben
Joel
Richie
Miles
Hugh
Fraser

Lily i love but VERY popular nowadays

I love Anastasia (Annie) and i love Libby

Not too keen on the others especially Allie and Olivia is far too popular

That's if popularity scares you?

As for boys

My ginger Tom is a Jasper, (but i do like the name)
My Dalmatian in Sam (Samson) (i loved Samuel but couldn't have two Sams!)
and my daughter is Georgia (George) BUT i love George for a boy

Jospeh i adore, but hate the nn's as with Robert

I love Vinnie, uber cool, i would have Vincent on the birth cert but use Vinnie

Reuben and Joel i love too

How about:
Sebastien
Gabriel or
Jesse?

Sorry that should say Joseph not Jospeh (rolls eyes)

Thanks! I love Gabriel but DH isn't too keen - maybe I need to work on him a bit. Hadn't thought of the other two - will add to the list for our next names conversation!

Personally I think, for example, Frederick and suzannah, shortened to Freddie and Suzie would be fine. If their actual real names are Freddie and Suzie, or Frankie and Allie, I think this is a teeny bit odd sounding. But tbh I don't know that siblings names really have to 'match'. I love the sound of my 3 DCs names together, but I don't think it will be a big deal to them, especially in adulthood.

I do like your names lists, but I do prefer 'whole' names to shortened ones. So I'd go with Alice (allie), Margaret (Polly_ or Elizabeth (Libby) myself.

Of your boys I like Samuel, Jasper ok, George ok (but I think a lot around? - seems to be the 'ironic' old people's name of the moment?), not so keen on ralph Richie miles or fraser, but like joseph rueben (love) and hugh.
