Foster, Emma, Max and... Robert?

Max and Emma are way overused.

Why is everyone criticizing the kids who are already alive and names? Are you suggesting they all change names?

Pip and Emma? Seriously? Don’t drop that on an unsuspecting American

Overthinking. It is fine.

Congrats, OP!

What about honoring the kid by not giving him such a crappy name?

My nephew is a Robert and we call him Bobby. I love that as a nickname for a boy.

This is what I think!

None of these names are terrible, but I agree that it sounds like two different sets.

It's fine. Robert is pretty classic. My cousin goes by Rob, and I think that works well with Max.

FWIW, I don't think kids names have to "match." I might side eye a family with a Jaylen and an Archibald, but I think your kids names go together just fine.


Bertie? Have you been watching “The Crown”? Like, what? And that’s a nickname for Albert, not Robert.


+1 Robert would have been called Robin (as in Robin Hood). My neighbor is an old British guy named Robert and he is called Robin.

I'd go with Andrew for the acronym.

I don’t love the name Robert but I used it to honor a deceased family member.

It literally sounds like the child is there temporarily.

Sibling names don’t have to match. Robert is a strong, classic name.

Once example of sibling names that don’t match but are all individually nice are JD Vance’s kids: Ewan, Vivek and Mirabel.
