We had both Elizabeth and Charlotte on our long list for girls - they are both good as they can be shortened several different ways so they offer a bit of flexibility, and are fairly classic.
The male names are less inspiring but George, Edward, Harry are all totally normal, nice names that are still around in most school years.

deeahgwitch · 06/08/2026 18:12

Caroline
Edward or Phillip

Matilda or Aethelflaeda

My son's ex wife's middle name was Aethelfleda.
He neglected to tell me before the wedding....🙄

My children already have proper Christian names which have been used by royals.
Their names don’t embarrass them, don’t put them in an age bracket, aren’t spelt in a ridiculous way and will take them anywhere.
An I judgey about names? You better believe it! A lot of eye rolling goes on here.

What are proper Christian names? As in biblical?

I quite fancy Balthazar ( A current prince of Luxembourg!)

Twas on my baby name list

itsgettingweird · 06/08/2026 18:23

William, Harry or George.

But I already have a Thomas so go for those types of names anyway.

Always liked Charlotte, Alice and Beatrice for a girl.

MrsMoastyToasty · 06/08/2026 18:26

Mike. as in Mike Tindall.

SadiraOfTyr · 06/08/2026 18:27

Chlodoric for a boy, Suavegotha for a girl.

luckylavender · 06/08/2026 18:34

Beatrice and George

SleepingStandingUp · 06/08/2026 18:35

Girls I'd go Sienne Isabella Victoria and
Boys I'd go Octavius Leopold Augustus

I already have a Matilda.

For a boy, I'd probably go with August.

I don't like names of months or seasons for children.
It's like the fashion for Autumn or Summer.

Is Sienne a royal name?

Funchythesnowwoman · 06/08/2026 22:55

@MargoLeadbetterisQueen
Beatrice’s elder daughter is Sienna - I think Sienne is a typo

You realise the month was named after the emperor, not the other way round?
