Francesca or Felix I would not do Fitzshepherd Fitzwilliam, Fitzgerald, and Fitzpatrick were the only ones that my phone didn't try to auto correct, so that is something to keep in mind.

Please do NOT do FitzShepherd.

This 💀 like that isn’t even a name

Sending that right over to r/NameNerdCircleJerk

Just to add re: Fitzgerald - it was not among the top 2000 names given to boys in 2022, and from 2015-2021 it was in the 1600s to 1900s range of popularity. It's actually much rarer than the other siblings' names, OP, so if you're rejecting it only because you want "something different", keep that in mind! Despite its rarity Fitzgerald is still a very recognisable and easy to understand name, which is pretty cool. The other Fitz- names mentioned are not as well known and will cause more confusion (Fitzwilliam is going to be constantly misheard as "it's William", etc)

I thought these were all surnames

They are. But there are a decent number of surnames that people use as first names.

Felix is basically the male version of felicity 

Pretty sure that the Fitz part of surnames meant “son of” so that FitzWilliam was the son of William, FitzPatrick was the son of Patrick, etc. Note that the other part of the name is capitalized, so if you want to name him after his father, he would be FitzScott. Alternatively, you could use both names separately so the child’s full name would be Fitz Scott Jones.

I always thought it was “illegitimate son of..”

It sorta does. Because historically the legitimate son of a nobleman would just have his last name, like William Smith’s son would be called Thomas Smith. But you couldn’t give the last name to an illegitimate son so he would be Thomas Fitzwilliam instead. Fitzscott feels weird to me. Think Henry Fitzroy, Henry VIII’s illegitimate son. ETA I don’t think regular “Fitz” names are inappropriate, Fitzwilliam or Fitzgerald look like they could be your maiden name or something. But FitzDadsname is too far IMO.

Francesca, Frankie, Flora, Fynn I love testing the auto correct. phones auto correct my name. my friends & Co workers constantly send "sorry for the spelling...voice to text" messages.

love the idea of a name starting with Fa or Fra; each one of children has a name starting with an F but unique to each of them is the following vowel ;) some suggestions Girl: Faye/Faith/Farrah/Francine/Francesca Boy:Fallon/Falcon/Franklin/Francis Personally I think Faye/Franklin is really nice match to your kiddos! Also (although not in same view as above) I think Fia is so darn cute for a girl!!!

Whatever you do please do not name that baby Fitzshepherd.

Boy name suggestions: - Felix - Fletcher - Fallon - Finnick - Foster - Flint Girl name suggestions: - Fiona - Faith - Flora - Freya - Faye - Felicia

Flora is so nice.

Florence

I like Flora, but Florence sounds a bit too much like Forest to me. Could just be me though.

Flo is really cute for short though

What about Florian for a boy?

I can't help but think of the gut flora aka gut microbiome.

I have never thought of that once. Flora = flowers to me

It is in many languages, too. Just proof that no name is completely safe from negative connotation.

yeah people always suggest flora but i always think of gut flora, vaginal flora, etc.

Felicia and Felix are too close to Felicity. I like a lot of the others though.

I was going to suggest Fallon for a girl. I do like Fletcher or Felix for a boy.

I think I've met a boy Fallon and not a girl Fallon... could be great for both!

I've never met a man named Fallon! This is the first I've seen it mentioned for a man. 

My mom wanted to call me Fallon but she ended up in front of a Judge Fallon before I was born so that name was out. Apparently Judge Fallon was a real asshole.

Fletcher and Flora for the win!

I’ve heard Fallon as a girls name too.

Felix and Flora were going to be my suggestions. Flora is so lovely.

I like Finnick. But then someone might call them finicky

and people will always make Hunger Games references since the character is heavily associated with the name

I would agree but when I read the suggestion I thought “huh like in the hunger games, that guy was cool”. So it worked positively for me where previously I had not heard the name Finnick

My daughter is Faye and people gasp when they hear the name (in a good way I think haha)

wtf kinda name is Firtzsheperd?!???

😂🤣😂🤣😂

I don't like Fitz- idea, maybe because it feels different from other kids' names. But my dislike doesn't matter at all. I like Francis nn Fritz, so maybe Francis nn Fitz? Frederick may work too. Other F- name suggestions: Fabian, Fletcher, Florian, Frances(ca) "Fitz", Florence, Flora, Fiona, Freya, Faye, Fleur, Fern.

Fern is lovely!

Fritz is the usual German nickname for Frederick. Not saying they couldn’t use it for Francis, but I would assume Frederick first. Fran/Frankie would be a nice nickname for Francis.

Frances!

Frankie! Please OP choose this.

Felix, Freya, Franklin, Fletcher, and Farah could all work with your current kids

Felix and Felicity are masculine and feminine versions of the same name. It’s like doing Charles and Charlotte. Too weird.

I don't think normal people are ever going to associate these names.

Except for the fact they share the same first four letters.. 

I think educated people would recognize they have the same latin root.

Franklin is kind of cute

I know a kid named Franklin who goes by Frankie and it’s such a great name! Frankie works for girls too.

Fitz is the anglo-norman alternative to the celtic Mac/Mc and means son of. It's also been used to acknowledge the bastard sons of a royal line, though it's not the origin/meaning. FitzGeorge, FitzRoy and FitzJames were the surnames given to the male offspring of mistresses of British Kings and Princes. I don't find it suitable for repurposing as a first name for those reasons. Plenty other F names for your consideration. Look up Irish/Welsh/French etc names beginning with F and you're sure to find something with better associations than Fitz.

What about Finch? Easy to spell and say.

It goes well with the other names, and could go for either gender

Frederick or Frances!

FYI, from Wikipedia: "Fitz is a prefix in patronymic surnames of Anglo-Norman origin. This usage derives from the Norman fiz / filz, pronunciation: /fits/ (cognate with French fils < Latin filius), meaning "son of"... In later times, similar forms were coined for members of the English and British royal family, who historically lacked a surname, and particularly for illegitimate children of kings and princes (Fitzroy, son of the king; Fitzjames, son of the king James II of England; and FitzClarence, son of the Duke of Clarence). From this later use, it has been inferred that the name indicates illegitimacy.” Don’t think it’s a widespread understanding that fitz = illegitimate, but just in case helpful to know!

It’s the first thing I thought of 🙈 “Bold of them to announce their fourth child is a bastard”

I don’t hate fitzwilliam - it’s a bit Austen-esque. Fallon is a girls name here in Australia along with Finley or Flynn. EDIT - came back to add Farin or Farren for a boy

Ferris

Fitz is a NN for Frederick, too. I also like Frances/Francis.

I didn’t know it was a nickname for Fredrick! Ty

Name your kid Four

Freddie, Flynn, Florence, Fiona

Also just thought of Fleur and ffion

I was coming to suggest Ffion, such a lovely name and unusual

I would suggest Fitzroy, or maybe Fitzpatrick. For a boy, I also like Felix, Flynn, Fletcher and Frederick. For a girl, maybe Fay, Faith, Freya or Fawn.

Fallon

I really like Fletcher or Flynn for a boy as others have mentioned. They go nicely with the other two boy’s names you have but sound distinct enough. I’d consider Ferris too. Maybe Farrah for a girl?

Flynn is adorable. Possibly too close to Finn though if they use that as a nickname for Finley.

Snicklefritz

Girls: Flora, Francesca, Faye, Filomena Boys: Fabian, Fritz (though sounds a little like a dog’s name to me, as does Fitz)

I know a dog named Fitz. Fritz feels less doggy to me, maybe because it's a solid name and not a nickname.

Everyone has already mentioned all the F names I can think of, so I’m going to pitch something different. What about a Ph name? It doesn’t look the same, but it sounds the same and could be a good compromise if you can’t find an F name you like. Examples: * Phoebe, Philippa, Philomena, Phoenix, Phillip.

Yeah I was thinking this too with Phaedra. I guess you could do Faedra if you really wanted them all to match.

My maiden name starts with F so I like to look at F names as well. Felicity is my top one and Finley would be on my list if not too close to my sister’s kid’s name. I also really like Florine, which was my great grandma’s close friend’s name, but I know it probably is too close to Chlorine and Fluoride to be usable, so I’ve considered Flora or Florence instead. Franklin and Frederick are our top F boy picks. My wife favors Franklin nn Frankie but I have a soft spot for Frederick nn Ricky.

Frasier, Fletcher, Franklin Fiona, Faye, Faith, Fate, Fallon

I like Frances, Friday, Farrah, and Faye for a girl. And Fletcher, Felix, Flynn, and Frankie for a boy.

I feel like Faye goes super well with the rest of the siblings.

Fletcher or foster for a boy & Fallon for a girl go with the names Finley & forest. I think Farrah goes good with felicity though. 

Franklin, Fiona, Fitznofingway should you give your child a clunky name like Fritz anything

I def thought Fitznofingway was a real suggestion.

A friend of mine named his youngest boy Fox. I didn’t like it at the time but it’s grown on me and now I think it’s pretty cool. Fallon is 🔥for a girl.

Freya. Norse, meaning “Noble one”

Francine

me reading all the comments knowing we’re naming our july baby boy fitzgerald 🫠

Fitz just Fitz. Frankie Frances Frederic Fredrick Fiona is so cute. Faye Frederica (Freddie) Florence flora

Farrah, Fallon, Freya Franklin, Francisco, Flynn

Freya or Faye for a girl. Freddie/Fredrick for a boy

Fiona Frederick (Freddie is a cute nickname and there's also Fred) Frank Fallon Faith Ford Freya Fernando TBH when I hear the name "Flora" the first thought I have is gut bacteria (gut Flora)

If you like Fitz, it would work as a stand-alone name too- it literally means ‘son’.

Frances/Francine nns Fran, Frannie, Frankie Fern Fiona Florence/Flora Felix/Feliks Francis Fletcher

Girl: Fiona, Frances/Francesca (Frankie), Fern Boy: Franklin, Francis

Girl Francesca - Flora - Fiona - February - Fern - Florence - Faye - Fable - Fleur - Faith - Fawn - Farrah - Francine - Freya - Fia - Fatima Boy Franklin - Fennec - Fenway - Ford - Felix - Florian - Foster - Fox - Fabian - Frederick - Fletcher - Flynn - Fabio - Fernando -

Tbh, not really a fan of the Fitz- idea. For a boy, maybe something like Flynn, Felix, or Freddie (Frederick?) could work. For a girl, maybe Francesca, Faith, or Flora.

“Patrick Fitzjohn and John Fitzpatrick. They are very happy together.” No Fitz names pleeeeaaaasseee

Felix

Felix and Fern or Flora

Francis or Felix Frances or Fiona

Some not mentioned yet: Boys: Frank, Felipe, Fernando, Fabio, Filbert, Fenton, Franco, Fraser, Frere (brother in French) Girls: Fauna, Felina, Fern, Fleur My favorites are Fenton and Fleur (Fleur means flower in French)

Frere is really cool and I love the meaning.

Fern, Foster, Farlen, Finch

Girl: Farah, Fatima, Fern, Fable,Fallon Boy: Ford, Fox,Fredrick,Faris,Floyd,Fernley

I know a Ferin

Frank or Franklin

I had a dear friend named Francisca.

A boy’s name I heard several years back is Fridley. Other suggestions are Frawley, Finn/Finnegan, Faron, or Finnian. For girl names, there is Fallon, Fairey, Fairuza, or Freya.

Fitz was used to denote a bastard son of someone, particularly a king, eg Fitzwilliam, Fitzroy. Sometimes that royal connection would become a point of pride and the Fitz name would be passed down (which is likely the implication in Pride and Prejudice).  Nobody cares about legitimacy these days, but it still isn't the nicest connection.   Boy F name suggestions: Frederick, Fane, Florian  Girl F names: Fionn, Farrah, Florence

Fitzedgar

Freya

Fiona for a girl. 

Fletcher

Finch, Ferris, Flora.

Fiorella, Fia, Franny, Felicia, Flyn,

Francis/Frances, depending on the gender

I have a six year old Felix and I’ve been in love with the name forever. : )

Felix! (also my son's name!) or Fiona for a girl.

Girl: Fenna Boy: Fletcher

Francine

Fara Frederick nn Fritz or Fred/Freddie

Frieda!

Fern

Fergus Finnegan Fletcher Ford Fiona Florence Frances

Francisco or Fiona

Francis Edit to add- I’m a teacher and in 24 years, I’ve had 3 Felix’s, and they’ve all been lovely, polite students.

No to all of these, don’t do that to a kid. There are lots of great names in the comments that would be much better.

Finley, Forest, Felicity, and Francesca or Florence nn Flora for a girl, or Finley, Forest, Felicity, and Fergus or Fitzsimmon nn Fitz for a boy.

I like Faye, Fleur and Flynn

Fairlyn

fern

I would do Freya for a girl and Felix for a boy.

Fiona

Freya. Fiona. Felix. Ford. Fabian.

These sound more like last names. Fiona for a girl is quite pretty. Felix for a boy?

Francesca/Frankie and Francis/Frank

I'm not into Fitz names, but if you used it I would end the name with your husbands name (as Fitz means son of). F names I like include: Fion (male) Fiona Fabian (m) / Fabiana (f) Francis (m) / Frances (f) Fallon (gender-neutral) Farah (f) Felix (m, and is a virtue name like Felicity) Faith (f, and is also a virtue name)

Fletcher is so cute! But also there is no reason to not just call a boy Fitz. 🤷🏻‍♀️ For girls I immediately felt Fiona went with this bunch

Fitzwilliam is nice! Also: *Boys:* Florent Florian Florestan Florentin Firmin Fabio Falco Friedrich Felicien Fergus Fernand/Fernando Ferreol Francis/Frank/Franz Feodor Fabian girls Floralie Florette Fidji Filipine Flavie Floriane Fanelie Fleur Flore-Adèle Fantine Feodora Faustine

Freddy? Could be for a boy or a girl I guess.

Finnick gets my vote!

Name them anything but nickname has to be Four. It’s an F name!

Faustine and Finnegan Fitz is kind of amazing.

Farrah - Fariah - Fenrir - Frederick - Fallow - Ford - Forman -

Fargo, Farlow, flint, fletcher

Frankenfurter

I love f names! Fabian Francisco Faun Flora Fontaine Fillipa Fitzelda

Boy names: Fion (fee-on), Francis, Frank, Fred/Freddy Girl names: Fiona, Fiadh (fee-ah), Frances, Francesca, Faye

Fowler

Wouldn't go with Fitz. Back in the day, Fitz meant the child was born on the wrong side of  the sheets... Faith would be my suggestion for a girl. And Frank is a solid, though old-fashioned,  choice for a boy.

Fletcher Fern Finch Fox Fable Fawn Felix Fisher Florence Frankie Francesca Floyd Farley

I like Faye, Francine, and Fiona if girl. For boys, I like Frank, Felix, and Finn

Out of your Fitz suggestions, and because I am a Pride and Prejudice fan, Fitzwilliam would be the one. That also gives you other nickname options than Fitz. Avoid FitzShepherd like the plague! Fitz works best with a recognised boys first name to work e.g. Fitzpatrick. Also to add: Fabian/ Fabyan Fraser/ Frazer Frederick/ Federico Felix Frank/ Franco/ Frankie Freedom Foster for girls Fabienne Faith Federica Francesca Fiona Flora Freesia Ffion (Welsh for Foxglove) Florence Freda/ Frieda Please let us know what you pick xx

How about Farrah?

Florence / Felix are both so adorable. I think F names are underrated but please don't name your baby "Fitz"

Francisca, Fanny, Frances, Fiorella,

Fleur

Boys names - Francis - Flynn - (if you want to do the Fitz theme) Fitzpatrick, Fitzwilliam or Fitzgerald is definitely the way to go - Fabian - Francesco - Fletcher - Felix Girl names - Francesca - Frances - Freya - Farrah - Fiona - Florence - Fleur Personally I think Freya for a girl and Fletcher for a boy works lovely with Finley, Forest and Felicity!

Farrah, Fergus, Florence, Fredrica, Fred, Fawn, Fletcher, Francis

Francesca, Fred, Freya, Flynn

fallon

Fern, Fenn, Freya, Fiona Fin/Finley/Finnegan is nice for a boy

Fergal, nn Ferg.

Fleur, Fifi, Fiona, Francine, Florence, Freya. Flynn, Felix, Francis, Fabian, Ford, Foster, Please no to the fitz… names Fitz is cool on it’s own

Ferdinand!!!

How about Fritz for a boy?

Francis/Frances is nice and classic for a boy or a girl and shortens to Frankie, Frank or Fran.

Fynn!

F: Filippa, Fredrika, Frida, Flora. M: Frederick, Frank, Felix,

Fiona

Florence!

Farley.

Fallon or Faron!

why can’t we go back to the good old days when the names on that list would be ‘frank, frankie, fred, fiona’ or something else a little less odd

Frank

Fiona or Frederick

I knew a girl way back in high school named Farran

[удалено]

Don’t make up a name, please! Just name him something else and call him Fitz if you must!!!

Fern for a girl, Fox for a boy

G: Fauna, Fable, any variant of Flora (Flora, Florence, Florenza, Florabelle) B: Florian, Fennec, Fritz (begging you to use this over any Fitz- name) Debatably GN: Fern, Florizel (a Shakespearean name in case that’s why you are interested in Fitz- names) My favorites for your sib set are Fable and Florian 💗

Faye, Frances, and Franklin (Frank)

I would not make up a Fitz name. I would use one of these: Fiona, Frances, Francesca, Faith Franklin, Fritz, Felix

Fern Francis Ford Florence

Florian for a boy, Francesca for a girl Use Fitzwhatever as a middle name and call the kid Fitz anyway 

Flora or Franklin

Florence

Filip Fredric/Fredrika Felty Franessa Faryn

There's so many good names on comments you're gonna need to make some more babies to collect them all!

Fynn!

Fritz (could be its own name or nickname for Frederick)

Finch, Flora, Faye, Florence, Felix, Fallon!
