Baby Names
(Half)brother/-sister for Mick and Jim
FloortjeGuest ·
Hi ladies and gentlemen,
I'm pregnant with our first child together, my partner's third. He has two boys: Mick and Jim.
We don't know if we're having a girl or a boy yet. I'm really torn about the name. Should we pick a name in the same style as Mick and Jim? Or can it be completely different?
We both like short names (like Mick and Jim), but personally, I was leaning towards other names.
The boys' mother is unfortunately not really around; she moved abroad two years ago. My partner thinks it's nice to be one family, so he wants to choose a name that fits with Mick and Jim. But I'm still unsure. I don't want the boys' mother to feel passed over in that way.
The names that came up as fitting for Mick and Jim:
Girl - Liv, Pip, Liz, Kris
Boy: Bink, Chris
Do you have any ideas that would satisfy all our wishes? Something that fits with Mick and Jim for my partner, but without that "jut/jul" vibe. Two syllables might be a good idea. But otherwise, I'm out of ideas.
Best, Floortje

I'd probably go for two syllables or a different vowel in the middle. Otherwise, you end up with three names that all have the 'i' sound.
Lot, Lotte, Fiene, Janou for example.
Siem, Jens, Just, Levi, Xavi.
You should really choose something you think looks nice. In the end, a lot more works with it than you'd think. Good luck! -

I’d also go for a name with 3 or 4 letters, because I think it looks nicer
I looked up a few names.
3 letters:
Amy
Eva
Mae/Maj
Eef
Lyn/Lin
Zoe/Zoë
Zus
4 letters:
Aimy
Eefke
Anne/Anna
Beau/or possibly 2 letters Bo
Bliss
Fien
Lily
Good luck with the names, we've finally decided on the names for our two girls and boy
it's quite difficult.. -

Wow, you've got 3 babies! Quite a hustle but really special... make sure you don't know the names yet :-) -

Indeed, it's quite a hustle and bustle, but for us, it's very special. We've had a long journey behind us and we've finally become pregnant 
. Whether it's one baby or multiples doesn't matter to us at that moment at all. As long as our kids are healthy . And that they grow up with love and luck . -

Thanks for your ideas and congratulations on your pregnancy! And a triplet! That's awesome!
We're leaning towards a two-syllable name now, but with an 'i' in it.
Liva is one of the favorites. We also like Evi, Zoë and Emi. Doubt, doubt, doubt.
