A Fourth BOY

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] all!

[name_u]Baby[/name_u] boy #4 is coming around [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] time! I’d love to hear people’s thoughts on my list!

My big boys are:
[name_m]Archer[/name_m] [name_m]Daniel[/name_m]
[name_u]Everett[/name_u] [name_m]Brendon[/name_m]
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Andrew[/name_m]

We also named our little girl who was born sleeping: [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f]

Here are some names that I’ve been gravitating to.

[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]
[name_m]Alexander[/name_m]
[name_u]August[/name_u]/[name_m]Augustus[/name_m]
[name_m]Fredrick[/name_m]
[name_m]Dashiell[/name_m]
[name_m]Ignatius[/name_m]
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m] (love it, but it’s off limits)

Overall I seem to like long names (3 syllables if possible). I also think surnames are handsome. I’m open to traditional, old fashioned or “modern but not weird”.

Any thoughts are much appreciated!

I really love [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] with your sibset!

I love your kids names! From your list I think [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] or [name_u]August[/name_u] fit best. My suggestion for you would be my latest fave boy name which is [name_m]Deveraux[/name_m] :slight_smile:

[name_m]Archer[/name_m], [name_u]Everett[/name_u], [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] & [name_m]Deveraux[/name_m]

Some handsomely named kiddos!

You have this really cool pattern going for your boys which I assume was not intentional ( I’m not even sure how I noticed it but) where each boy’s name starts with the second to last letter of the previous boy’s name.

archEr —> evereTt —> theodore

Because of that, I really like [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m] for you as a way to tie [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] into it as well. Or maybe an R name that would tie in [name_m]Theodore[/name_m].

I like a lot of pp’s suggestions for you and think [name_m]Dashiell[/name_m] and [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] work nicely as well. Outside those, I’d suggest [name_m]Callahan[/name_m], [name_u]Campbell[/name_u], and [name_m]Xavier[/name_m].

[name_u]Love[/name_u] your kiddos’ names! I think [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] and [name_u]August[/name_u] would fit in beautifully. I also like the suggestion of [name_m]Julian[/name_m].

More ideas:

[name_m]Caspian[/name_m]
[name_m]Desmond[/name_m]
[name_m]Dominic[/name_m]
[name_u]Emerson[/name_u]
[name_m]Gabriel[/name_m]
[name_m]Gideon[/name_m]
[name_m]Holden[/name_m]
[name_u]Jameson[/name_u]
[name_m]Matthias[/name_m]
[name_m]Maxwell[/name_m]
[name_m]Shepherd[/name_m]
[name_u]Sullivan[/name_u]

I just want to say that I think you might just be a genius to notice that kind of pattern out of the blue like that! Mind blown! :smiley:

I want to second people’s opinion omg [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] and [name_u]August[/name_u] with your sunset; those sound great with your kids’ fantastic names!

I second [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] and [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m].

[name_m]Frederick[/name_m] or [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] would work well for baby brother. Congratulations!

I really like [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m]! And [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] :slight_smile:

My favorites from your list are [name_m]Alexander[/name_m], [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m], [name_m]Dashiell[/name_m] and [name_m]Oliver[/name_m]. You can’t go wrong with any of these.

[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] fits well with your other boys’ fabulous names!

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] Everyone!

Thanks so much for the thoughtful feedback!! It helps so much!

I just read the blog post from Appellation Mountain today about [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] names and [name_u]Hollis[/name_u] definitely stood out.

Does [name_u]Hollis[/name_u] fit with my other kids’ names? Or does [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] still fit better? Maybe a combo?

[name_m]Archer[/name_m] [name_m]Daniel[/name_m]
[name_u]Everett[/name_u] [name_m]Brendon[/name_m]
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Andrew[/name_m]
And…
[name_u]Hollis[/name_u] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_u]Hollis[/name_u]

Also the short ‘o’ sound in [name_u]Hollis[/name_u] marches the short ‘o’ in our last name. Is this good or bad?

Thoughts? Thank you!

I love [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] with your kids!

I still like [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] better after reading your second post. It sounds better with your last name and with your other children [name_f]IMO[/name_f]. I also think [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_u]Hollis[/name_u] is gorgeous, and [name_u]Hollis[/name_u] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] ends and starts with an S and doesn’t have the best flow to me.

[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_u]Hollis[/name_u] seems like a perfect brother with your other sons names. It also flows better than [name_u]Hollis[/name_u] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] without the double ‘s’ together.

[name_m]Archer[/name_m], [name_u]Everett[/name_u], [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] and

[name_m]Baxter[/name_m]
[name_m]Declan[/name_m]
[name_m]Vaughn[/name_m]
[name_m]Thatcher[/name_m]
[name_m]Fletcher[/name_m]
[name_m]Simon[/name_m]
[name_m]Sampson[/name_m]
[name_m]Magnus[/name_m]

Oooh I love [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_u]Hollis[/name_u] with your sibset!!

I like August* & Dashiell a lot with siblings Archer, Everett, Theodore & Elodie. Sebastian would come in third choice from your list for me. Sebastian Hollis does make for a great name.

My suggestions based on your list: Jasper, Finnian, Harrison, Lachlan, Bellamy, Magnus, Callum, Gideon, Ephraim, Nathaniel, Declan, Ambrose & Julian.
