I am currently pregnant with our fourth child, brother or sister to [name_m]Arthur[/name_m], [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] and [name_m]Hugo[/name_m]. We love the -u- sound in our boys names and we’d love to continue with that in the name of our fourth child. We have a few names for each gender that we love, but we’re not sure if they fit well. We’d love your opinion on these names.
Boy:
[name_m]Edmund[/name_m]
[name_m]Samuel[/name_m] (we’re afraid everyone will call him [name_u]Sam[/name_u] and therefore lose the -u- sound)
[name_m]Julian[/name_m]
[name_u]Hunter[/name_u] (we love this name, but isn’t it way too different from the other names?)
[name_u]Hudson[/name_u] (same as [name_u]Hunter[/name_u])
[name_m]Atticus[/name_m]
[name_u]Curtis[/name_u]
Girl:
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f] (we love this name, but isn’t it too close to [name_m]Lucas[/name_m]?)
[name_f]Julia[/name_f]/[name_f]Juliet[/name_f]/[name_u]Julie[/name_u]/…
[name_f]Luna[/name_f] (same as [name_u]Hunter[/name_u])
[name_u]June[/name_u] (same as [name_u]Hunter[/name_u])
I like [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] and [name_u]Curtis[/name_u] from your list however, [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] may be shortened to [name_m]Ed[/name_m] or [name_m]Eddie[/name_m] and loses the -u- theme you’re going for whereas [name_u]Curtis[/name_u] can be shortened to [name_m]Curt[/name_m] and it keeps the -u-. I actually like the spelling of [name_u]Curtis[/name_u] with a K.
I agree that [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] is too similar to [name_m]Lucas[/name_m], but I do like [name_f]Luna[/name_f]. It doesn’t feel similar to [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] and I think it sounds perfect with the other names. [name_f]Julia[/name_f] is also a good choice.
[name_u]Hunter[/name_u]- I can see a [name_u]Hunter[/name_u] and a [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] being brothers
[name_m]Samuel[/name_m]-Sounds nice with your other children you just have to decide if [name_u]Sam[/name_u] bugs you so much you should write it off your list
[name_u]Hudson[/name_u]- I love the name,But I wonder if its too close to [name_m]Hugo[/name_m]
[name_f]Julia[/name_f]- I Like this name the best out off your girl list
Other Suggestions
[name_u]Quinn[/name_u]- Unisex,But I think it’s a cute as a girl’s name
[name_f]Judith[/name_f]
[name_u]Aubrey[/name_u]
[name_f]Fleur[/name_f]
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f]
[name_f]Juno[/name_f]
[name_u]Juniper[/name_u]
[name_f]Gwen[/name_f]-I thought it was spelled with a “u” but i guess not…still cute though
I really like [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] or [name_m]Julian[/name_m] for a boy. Or [name_f]Julia[/name_f] for a girl. I also second the suggestion of [name_u]Ruby[/name_u]…all the best
I love both [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] and [name_m]Julian[/name_m] for the boys. For the girls I think [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] fits best, but I do like [name_u]June[/name_u] as well.
Thank you all so much for your reactions! And my apologies for my late reaction.
From your suggestions we really like [name_m]Quentin[/name_m]/[name_m]Quinten[/name_m] but we really want to try have more children after this one, wouldn’t it be weird if the 4th one is called [name_m]Quentin[/name_m] and the 5th one will have another name?
We also like the nickname [name_u]Gus[/name_u], but we do not really like [name_m]Augustus[/name_m]. We also like the names [name_m]Duncan[/name_m] and [name_u]Sullivan[/name_u] but we do not feel right with our other boy’s names…
For girls we really have a problem. We do not really like any girl name containing a -u-, so we are looking for other names as well. We could keep the u-theme into the boys in that case.
We love:
[name_f]Emily[/name_f]/[name_f]Emma[/name_f]
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f]
[name_f]Sophia[/name_f]/[name_f]Sophie[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]
[name_f]Philippa[/name_f] nn. [name_f]Pippa[/name_f]
What do you think about the boy names? And what girl names do you like with our boy’s names?
Sorry for all the questions, we are quite lost in our quest for a name.
I like [name_u]Hunter[/name_u], [name_u]Hudson[/name_u], and especially [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] with the other boys.
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f] is too close to [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] but I like [name_f]Luna[/name_f] or Lumia.
[name_m]Tucker[/name_m]
[name_m]Julian[/name_m]
[name_u]August[/name_u] (maybe too close to [name_m]Arthur[/name_m])
[name_m]Huck[/name_m]
[name_m]Raoul[/name_m]
[name_u]Jules[/name_u] (nn for [name_m]Julian[/name_m] or [name_f]Julia[/name_f])
[name_f]Julia[/name_f]
[name_f]Judy[/name_f]
[name_u]June[/name_u]
OP I am a little confused about what you mean by the 4th one being [name_m]Quinten[/name_m]/[name_m]Quintin[/name_m] and #5 being weird with another name?
like a pun? I am quit ’ in having kids haha? I didn’t see it till it was pointed out so I don’t think that is a problem!
I really like [name_m]Quinten[/name_m]/[name_m]Quintin[/name_m]. Both spellings are nice when i pronounce it I seem to say “tin” rather than “ten” if that helps with picking a spelling.
[name_f]Pippa[/name_f] and [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] is my favorite of your girl choices.
Names to go with [name_m]Arthur[/name_m], [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] and [name_m]Lucas[/name_m]
Boys (with U):
[name_m]Austin[/name_m]
[name_m]Maximus[/name_m] ([name_u]Max[/name_u])
[name_m]Callum[/name_m]
[name_m]Angus[/name_m]
Boys (without U):
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m]
[name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Matthew[/name_m]
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m]
[name_m]George[/name_m]
[name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] ([name_m]Ben[/name_m])
Loving [name_f]Julia[/name_f]/[name_f]Juliet[/name_f]/[name_u]Julie[/name_u] from your list as well as [name_u]Hunter[/name_u].
If you feel obliged to use a name with U I wouldn’t worry - its not an obvious connection but if its something you want to do and you find a name you love then go for it!
i think since you’re repeating the uh sound, to avoid repeating initials as well. hunter and hudson are too similar to hugo, and yes, they’re a different style from the other names. lucy and luna are too similar to lucas.
I really like julian with your other names, or ruben (ruben is biblical like lucas, while arthur and hugo have another vibe).
I also think that since arthur has his uh sound in the end of his name, it could be nice to have another name like that. edmund is a bit heavy, but could work very well with arthur.
julian, ruben and edmund would be my pick for a boy.
juliet, ruby and june would be my pick for a girl.
My first thoughts for boys names were [name_m]Euan[/name_m] and [name_m]Linus[/name_m] (although [name_m]Linus[/name_m] is a bit too similar to [name_m]Lucas[/name_m]).
I have to suggest one of my favorite girls name: [name_f]Eulalie[/name_f]. But, I completely understand wanting to go in another direction for girls too. All of the choices on your list are beautiful classics, and all would go well with your boys names. That said, [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] and [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] seem to be particularly well suited for your sibling set in my mind
Thanks for all the great suggestions, it has been a great help for us! We are making progress, we have settled on our girl name (that we won’t place here yet ) and for a boy we are down to a short list. For the middle name we have settled on a family name.
Our latest ideas on a boy name:
[name_m]Samuel[/name_m]
[name_m]Angus[/name_m] nn. [name_u]Gus[/name_u]
[name_m]Edmund[/name_m]
I know most of you already gave their favorite name, but which one of these three would you choose as a brother of [name_m]Arthur[/name_m], [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] and [name_m]Hugo[/name_m]?
