Ongoing List of Names I Like

[TeddysGirl]

I am really struggling to bond with my unborn baby so I thought thinking of names might make it seem more real so thought I'd make a list of names I like. For a girl the middle names will be Kathleen Harriett (Kathleen is my mum and great gran and Harriett is the name of OH's cousin who died when she was young), middle names for a boy will be John Stephen (John is after my OH's granddad and is a sort of family name and Stephen is my stepdads name and because he has no blood relation to the baby I thought it would be nice for him to have that connection. I know a lot of people don't like two middle names but how often will it be used and it's a nice shout- out to family members in my opinion. The last name is Francis.

BOYS

Harrison John Stephen Francis (Harry, Harris, Haribo)
Benjamin John Stephen Francis (Ben)
Zeke John Stephen Francis
Oliver John Stephen Francis

GIRLS

Imogen Kathleen Harriett Francis
Elowyn Kathleen Harriett Francis (Ellie/Winnie)
Sylvia Kathleen Harriett Francis
Theresa Kathleen Harriett Francis (Tess/Tessa)
Arianna Kathleen Harriett Francis (Aria, Annie Ari)

Any opinions would be much appreciated !

I like Benjamin and Imogen from your list.

Personally I couldn't see the other names on your list being used for a baby. Of course that doesn't mean they can't be used but I don't see them as being 'baby' names. I think the middle names are a great tribute.

Thanks guys.

I think Zofia is too similar to Sophia which is really common where I live. And I don't like the sound of Stephania

I like Imogen and Elowyn for a girl. I actually prefer Aowyn or Éowyn (same pronunciation I think).

Boy name I like Benjamin!

Love Benjamin. Zeke isn't my style but I don't hate it. Like Imogen and love Elowyn, and the nicknames for the latter are adorable, especially Winnie. Sylvia is cute but much prefer Sylvie.

I also really like Imogen and Elowyn. Sylvia and Theresa feel dated to me but not enough to make them cool/vintage, if that makes sense.

Benjamin is cute, not a fan of Zeke as it sounds really harsh to me.

Ben is great and Imogen (this is top of my list) as for the middle names, love love LOVE!

My children all have a middle name that connects parts of the family


I just want to throw this in as an option, my DD is Mariade, pronounced like parade but with n "M".


It's fine if you don't like it, I only like to share as apart from being in Ireland there are no other Mariades around lol...
Hope I've helped
