If we were to have a boy...

So, right now, we are still planning on naming our twin girls, Matilda Adelaide and Eloise Charlotte to go along with Dorothy Violet.

Not to say that we are/are not going to have any more children... but if we did... what names (1 boy, 1 girl) would also go with these 3??

Dorothy Violet (Dottie)
Matilda Adelaide (Mattie)
Eloise Charlotte (Ellie)

First off, you have picked gorgeous names for your daughters! They are beautiful! Hmmm this is a tricky one...

Boy: William Oliver nn Will or Phinaes Henry nn Finn

Girl: Penelope Hazel nn Penny or Genevieve Mae nn Ginny

Tell me if I was close!

Oh... I think I could see a Henry Oliver (nn Harry)

Dorothy Violet (Dottie)
Matilda Adelaide (Mattie)
Eloise Charlotte (Ellie)
Henry Oliver (Harry)

Going on the literary theme... Harry (Potter) and Oliver (Twist)

I guess that would be the safe choice... but can we get anymore creative?

Would Alice still go with the others?

Good question. I love the names you've chosen for your daughters they fit so well togther.

Boys -

Charles nn Charlie
Desmond nn Desi
Edward nn Eddie
Frederick nn Fred or Freddie
George nn Georgie
Jasper
Malcolm
Oliver nn Ollie
Phillip
Roman
Riordan
Simon
Theodore nn Teddy
William - ditto Charliehotsox

Girls -

Evangeline nn Evie
Francesca nn Frankie or Frannie or Fritzi
Genevieve nn Vivi or Ginny ditto Charliehotsox
Gwendolyn/Gwendolyn - nn Gwennie
Gwyneth
Harriett
Josephine nn Posey
Collette
Penelope nn Poppy
Rosemarie nn Romy
Simone

Alice could work it is a bit close to Eloise though. What about Alison?

Well the first three has a lit theme going.

Dorothy (wizard of oz - family name) Violet (family name and I am pretty sure there are Violet lit characters) Matilda (Matilda) Adelaide (Heidi) Eloise (at the PLaza) Charlotte (Web)

If we were to have another child, their name would have to follow this pattern and have a nickname that would go with Dottie, Mattie, and Ellie....

Makes it a bit tricky....

OH! I see now! So you're going with a literary theme. Well! that makes a difference. How about Atticus (TKAM) Fitzwilliam (Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice). It's a bit adventurous but I could see it...
