A challenge!

[babyxlove-x.livejournal.com]

My husband is absolutely adamant that Baby #2's first name must have five letters, just like our daughters name. My husband and his brothers all have six letter first names too. Anyway, this doesn't exactly give me a wide range of names to choose from, so please, tell me: what are your favourite five letter first names?

For a boy we are using the name Anthony as his middle name. Anthony is my fathers middle name and my husbands favourite Uncle's first name.

For a girl we are using the name Victoria as her middle name. Victoria being the feminine version of my grandfathers name Victor. My grandfather has been the only one I had know up until I was 18.

We already have a Chloe Elizabeth. Our last name ends in 'son'.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

Elise?

Unfortunately, most of my favorite five letter names end in the same sound as Victoria, so they wouldn't really flow well. Lydia, Fiona, Norah... just to name a few.

And for boys, maybe Chase? Goes with Chloe in my opinion, but does pigeonhole you into the "C" thing. I also like Grant, but again, that doesn't go too well with Anthony. Maybe Gavin? James? I realized through this that very few of my favorite names are five letters, lol.

I like Lydia and Lilly! Pretty names :) Thanks!

[babyxlove-x.livejournal.com]

I really like the name Alice. I wanted to name my daughter that, but a friend convinced me not to due to the hype of Alice in Wonderland at the time. I may have to put this name back on my list.

I also like the name Quinn. Maybe for a boy though big I have heard of many girls named Quinn before.

Thank you for the help.

These are the ones from my list that are five letters and haven't been mentioned yet along with a couple of random other names that fit the criteria.

Conor Anthony
Eamon Anthony
Linus Anthony
Simon Anthony
Louis Anthony
Tobin Anthony
Roger Anthony

I think Conor, Eamon, Simon, and Roger sound best with Anthony. I think Tobin goes best with a sibling named Chloe.

Maeve Victoria
Pearl Victoria
River Victoria
Hazel Victoria
Clare Victoria
Clara Victoria
Nadia Victoria
Tessa Victoria
Penny Victoria
Lucia Victoria
Sofie Victoria
Lyric Victoria

I think Pearl, Clara, Tessa, Penny, Lucia, and Sofie sound best with Victoria. I think Clare, Tessa, Penny, Lucia, and Sofie go best with Chloe.

[babyxlove-x.livejournal.com]

I like Hazel and Sofie for girls names. Especially Sofie. It sounds so beautiful, and it does go nicely with Chloe too.

Thank you for your suggestions.

Both my kids inadvertently have five letter names: Miles and Junia

[babyxlove-x.livejournal.com]

I love the name Miles! Beautiful names.

My husband works with a Colin. So that may be a bit weird? I do like the name though.

Helen is actually my husbands grandmothers name and Peter is my husbands fathers name. Interesting that those two names popped up :)

Can't use Mason :( It's my cousins sons name and she will definitely throw a fit if I used it!

My mum's name is Julie and my name is Victoria hehe.

Well you've got a bunch of great options here from previous posters so I will allow myself to say that your husband's desire to have both children have the same number of letters is the most bizarre thing I've heard all week. Did you know about this pre-Chloe? Thank God you didn't have a boy named Christopher; then you really would have been in a jam if you had another boy (pretty much the only other boy's name with that many letters is Maximiliano... so if you don't like Maximiliano, you'd be hooped).

[babyxlove-x.livejournal.com]

No, this is just something he thought of after we had Chloe. Thankfully there are many five letter name options, which is a bonus.

These aren't all necessarily my style, but I had fun finding names that fit your 5-letter criteria, and I guess you never know what you might end up liking once you hear it!

For boys? David, Devon, Simon, Aidan, Ethan...

For a girl... Alice, Avril, April, Clara, Carla, Celia, Aviva, Daria...
