#4 is due in 8 weeks! Name help?

General Name Discussion

Hello, all! I am brand new on here, and I am expecting our fourth and final child! Yes, four kids! You must think we’re nuts, haha. We love our children, and, while his pregnancy did sneak up on us, we can’t wait for this last edition to our family. IT’S ANOTHER BOY! [name_f]Kate[/name_f] is upset because she already has two younger brothers and wanted a baby sister, but we know she will love the new baby no matter what.

I am hoping you all can help us sort out and decide on names!

We have three children:
[name_f]Katherine[/name_f] [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] (7)
[name_m]Jeffrey[/name_m] [name_m]Mark[/name_m] (5)
[name_u]Dean[/name_u] [name_u]Everett[/name_u] (2)

And we are considering these for our newest son:
[name_u]Evan[/name_u]
[name_m]Nathan[/name_m] ([name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] maybe?)
[name_m]Joel[/name_m]
[name_m]Connor[/name_m]
[name_u]Michael[/name_u] (too popular?)
[name_m]Thomas[/name_m]
[name_m]Zachary[/name_m]
[name_u]Jude[/name_u]
[name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] ([name_m]Shepard[/name_m] spelling is also in consideration)
[name_m]Benjamin[/name_m]
[name_m]Kevin[/name_m] (too “old” sounding?)
[name_m]Joshua[/name_m]

We were originally trying not to use the repeating first initials, but we threw that out the window. It may be strange if we only had three total kids with initials K, K, and D, but we already have three kids with K, J, and D, so another K or J wouldn’t look as strange.

Which are your favorite names from above? What names can you please recommend for us?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you all!

My personal favourite from your list is [name_u]Jude[/name_u], and I also really like [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m].

In terms of fitting well with [name_f]Katherine[/name_f], [name_m]Jeffery[/name_m] & [name_u]Dean[/name_u] any name from you list would actually work well with his big brothers’ and sister’s names so you can’t really go wrong! I’d like to see [name_u]Jude[/name_u] or [name_m]Shepard[/name_m] as middle name - [name_m]Zachary[/name_m] [name_u]Jude[/name_u] & [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] [name_m]Shepard[/name_m] would be my picks.

All your names sound good with the older childrens names. My favorites for you would be [name_m]Connor[/name_m], [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m], [name_m]Zachary[/name_m], [name_u]Jude[/name_u] and [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m]. I love [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] but I think its a little too out there compared to your other childrens names. It would be a good middle though.

Combo suggestions:
[name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m]
[name_u]Jude[/name_u] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m]
[name_u]Jude[/name_u] [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m]
[name_m]Connor[/name_m] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]
