4th child fun!

So, having used up our favourite names on our first two children, #3 took a while to be chosen. Now in considering #4 we’re totally stumped! [name_m]Zebedee[/name_m], [name_f]Elsbeth[/name_f], [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f] and…go!

If it helps they are

[name_m]Zebedee[/name_m] [name_m]Tom[/name_m]
[name_f]Elsbeth[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]
[name_f]Tabitha[/name_f] [name_f]Hope[/name_f]

I like [name_m]Boaz[/name_m] (we started with a Z, I like the idea of ending with a Z). I also like [name_u]Joby[/name_u] [name_m]Obadiah[/name_m], [name_f]Posey[/name_f], my hubby likes [name_f]Hepzibah[/name_f] (too mean?) Any ideas of combos or help for fresh thinking? I like uncommon but not totally out there names. We now know 5 [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f]'s so would like something a bit less popular. We also seem to have chosen names with ‘b’ in them. Not compulsary this time but certainly in my thinking.

Generally trying to keep with the b theme somewhere in the name and not too common;
[name_m]Caleb[/name_m]
[name_m]Balthazar[/name_m] (B and Z link back to your first)
[name_u]Blaize[/name_u] (B and Z link back to your first)
[name_m]Ebeneezer[/name_m]
[name_m]Abner[/name_m]
[name_m]Able[/name_m]
Denby (Inverted the last to main sounds from zeBeDee - DenBy)
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] - or just [name_m]Bastian[/name_m]???
[name_m]Bazil[/name_m]

girls names with a b…drawing quite a blank
[name_f]Zenobia[/name_f] - feels more your style - b and z link back to your first
[name_u]Zion[/name_u] (no b link but again feels more your style and link back to firstborn)
[name_f]Abbeline[/name_f]

[name_f]Hepzibah[/name_f] is nms but if its yours go for it - although I would be wary that the other girls have much more ‘user friendly’ / known but unusual names and this could cause friction later on. Also [name_u]Joby[/name_u] - would that be pronounced [name_m]Jobe[/name_m] or Jobby? I would expect some pronciation issues, also I personally wouldn’t match it with your current sibset but again if you love it then go for it!

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] that gives a few ideas :slight_smile:

I love love [name_f]Elsbeth[/name_f] (see my signature). [name_m]How[/name_m] exciting to add a 4th child. Other names you may like are.

I feel like the names you and your S.O choose are names that are considered unusual, but most people have heard before.

[name_f]Keziah[/name_f] would be my choice for a girl, I think it would go wonderfully with your other children’s names. And [name_f]Keziah[/name_f] [name_f]Posey[/name_f] would be so sweet!

For boys, I think [name_m]Boaz[/name_m] is a great choice. I also suggest:
[name_m]Balthazar[/name_m]
[name_u]Azariah[/name_u]
[name_m]Ephraim[/name_m]
[name_m]Lazarus[/name_m]
[name_u]Jericho[/name_u]

Good [name_m]Luck[/name_m]!

[name_m]Jubal[/name_m] (has same feel as [name_m]Zebedee[/name_m] and has b in it!)
[name_m]Welby[/name_m]
[name_u]Urban[/name_u]
[name_u]Zion[/name_u]
[name_m]Fritz[/name_m] (incorporates the z at the end)

[name_f]Mabel[/name_f]

I absolutely love the idea of [name_u]Joby[/name_u] [name_m]Obadiah[/name_m]! It’s my favorite of the ones you’re considering.
