Expecting my fourth baby, second boy! I currently have a [name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_f]Hazel[/name_f], and [name_m]Calvin[/name_m]. [name_f]My[/name_f] husband and I are really struggling with picking a first name for this boy. I’d love any suggestions! We really like old names. A few names I like but my husband isn’t a fan of: [name_m]Wallace[/name_m] (nn Wally), [name_m]Simon[/name_m], and [name_m]Nathan[/name_m] (nn Nate). We both liked [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] (nn Mal) for a brief time but now we’re not so sure. [name_f]My[/name_f] husband likes [name_m]Jack[/name_m] but because we have a [name_f]Jane[/name_f] it seems weird to me. What do you all think about [name_m]Jack[/name_m]?
Other names we’re considering: [name_m]Peter[/name_m], [name_m]Charles[/name_m] (nn Charlie), [name_m]Raymond[/name_m] (nn Ray), and [name_m]Martin[/name_m] (not a fan of nn Marty). Nicknames are very important to me, also the middle name might be [name_m]Angelo[/name_m] (family name).
I love ur names. I feel like [name_m]Jack[/name_m] and the same first initial feel off and also it doesn’t feel as fresh as ur other names. But truly what u love most is the best option.
I like the idea of a one syllable that balances out the boys and girls. ideas are [name_m]Dean[/name_m] , [name_m]Vance[/name_m].
I think [name_m]Jack[/name_m] can work with [name_f]Jane[/name_f], although I do like your other boy names better with your children’s names! [name_m]Charles[/name_m] nn [name_m]Charlie[/name_m] is my favourite.
Maybe…

[name_m]Warren[/name_m] (Ren)
I think Jack and Jane would be cute for twins, but doesn’t work as well with Hazel and Calvin.
For Martin, I don’t think you necessarily need a nickname, but Mark or Mars could be alternatives to Marty.
I think Raymond Angelo is an awesome name and would be my pick from the ones you’re considering.
Other ideas:
Jane, Hazel, Calvin, and …
Franklin Angelo (Frank or Frankie)
William Angelo (Will, Billy, Liam)
Samuel Angelo (Sam)
Felix Angelo (Lex or Lexy)
Lewis Angelo (Lou, Louie)
Oliver Jack (Ollie)
Ashby Peter (Ash)
Frederick Charles (Fred)
Andre Raymond (Andy or Dre)
Russell Martin (Russ or Rusty)
Ryan Malcolm (Ry)
[name_f]Love[/name_f] [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m]. How about [name_m]Walter[/name_m]?
[name_m]George[/name_m]
[name_m]Henry[/name_m]
[name_m]Walter[/name_m]
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_m]Clyde[/name_m]
[name_m]August[/name_m] / [name_m]Gus[/name_m]
[name_m]Robert[/name_m]
[name_m]Walter[/name_m] nn [name_m]Walt[/name_m] [name_m]Walter[/name_m] [name_m]Angelo[/name_m]
[name_m]Lionel[/name_m] nn [name_m]Lion[/name_m], [name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Lionel[/name_m] [name_m]Angelo[/name_m]
Other J names:
[name_m]Julian[/name_m] [name_m]Angelo[/name_m]
[name_m]Jameson[/name_m] [name_m]Angelo[/name_m]
[name_m]Jerome[/name_m] [name_m]Angelo[/name_m]
Hopefully these help!
I agree with a pp that a one syllable boys name would balance out the whole group!
[name_f]Janie[/name_f] & [name_m]Jack[/name_m] is a kids store and is a little too close for my taste.
Others:
[name_m]Grant[/name_m]
[name_m]Lyle[/name_m]
[name_m]Frank[/name_m]
[name_m]Mark[/name_m]
[name_m]Charles[/name_m]
I really like [name_m]Peter[/name_m] nn [name_m]Pete[/name_m]
2nd fave is [name_m]Raymond[/name_m] nn [name_m]Ray[/name_m]
I think [name_m]Jack[/name_m] is nice but no nickname options and the similarity to [name_f]Jane[/name_f] leads me to think there’s a better name out there for you.
[name_m]Jack[/name_m] is nice - I think [name_m]Jack[/name_m] is popular and versatile enough that it doesn’t feel weird with [name_f]Jane[/name_f], especially not with [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] and [name_m]Calvin[/name_m] in between.
I like [name_m]Raymond[/name_m] and [name_m]Peter[/name_m] of your options!

Huge congratulations 
You have a lovely selection of names!
Firstly I agree I find [name_m]Jack[/name_m] & [name_f]Jane[/name_f] a little too close. However I love [name_m]Peter[/name_m] for your sibling set. [name_m]Peter[/name_m] is such a sweet, handsome name that feels soft and whimsy. I think [name_m]Peter[/name_m] is gorgeous! Also absolutely love [name_m]Angelo[/name_m] in the middle name spot.
You’ve had lots of lovely suggestions so count any repeats as me being in agreement with the berries

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps
Your sibling set is darling! I have both [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] and [name_m]Calvin[/name_m] on my list and my name is [name_f]Jayne[/name_f] so I feel like we have a similar style!
Out of your ideas I love [name_m]Peter[/name_m]! I feel like it had the same understated classic vibe that your other children’s names have.
I also think [name_m]Jack[/name_m] lovely and it doesn’t feel weird at all with [name_f]Jane[/name_f] since you also have a [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] and [name_m]Calvin[/name_m].
Some ideas for a second baby boy:
[name_m]Everett[/name_m]
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] (Max would be adorable!)
[name_m]George[/name_m]
[name_m]Edward[/name_m] (Teddy is so cute!)
[name_m]Philip[/name_m]
[name_m]Timothy[/name_m]
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m]
[name_m]Robert[/name_m]
[name_m]Tobias[/name_m]
[name_m]Bennett[/name_m]
Really like your kids names they! I think it is interesting that the number of letters in each of your kids names increases by 1. Keeping with that pattern
[name_m]Timothy[/name_m] (nn Tim/ Timmy)
[name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] (nn Max/ Wells)
[name_m]Eustace[/name_m] (nn Ace)
[name_m]Matthew[/name_m] (nn Matt)
[name_m]Phineas[/name_m] (nn Finn)
I also like the idea of keeping the pattern of going backwards in the the alphabet so using a name that starts with an A or a B
[name_m]Amos[/name_m] (nn Ames)
[name_m]Abe[/name_m] (nn Abe)l
[name_m]Abner[/name_m] (nn Abe)
[name_m]Asher[/name_m] (nn Ash)
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m] (nn Art/ Artie/ Bear)
[name_m]Albert[/name_m] (nn Al/ Albie/ Bert)
[name_m]Alfred[/name_m] (nn Al/ Alf/ Alfie)
[name_m]Benton[/name_m] (nn Ben/ Benny)
[name_m]Burton[/name_m] (nn Burt/ Bert)
[name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] (nn Ben/ Benny/ Benji)
[name_m]Baxter[/name_m] (nn Bex)
[name_m]Boyd[/name_m]
I also think you could go the route of a presidential name like
[name_m]George[/name_m]
[name_m]James[/name_m] (nn Jim/ Jem)
[name_m]Jackson[/name_m] (nn Jack/ Jacks/ Sonny)
[name_m]Jefferson[/name_m] (nn Jeff/ Sonny)
[name_m]Lincoln[/name_m] (nn Linc/ Link)
[name_m]Quincy[/name_m]
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] (nn Theo/ Teddy/ Ted)
[name_m]Thomas[/name_m] (nn Tom/ Thom)
[name_m]Abraham[/name_m] (nn Abe/ Bram)
[name_m]Grant[/name_m]
[name_m]Franklin[/name_m]
[name_m]Harrison[/name_m] (nn Harry/ Hank/ Sonny)
[name_m]Carter[/name_m] (nn Cart)
[name_m]Ronald[/name_m] (nn Ron/ Ronny)
I like [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] and [name_m]Raymond[/name_m].
Maybe:
[name_m]Paul[/name_m]
[name_m]Sampson[/name_m]
[name_m]Sullivan[/name_m]
[name_m]Marcus[/name_m]
[name_m]Desmond[/name_m]
[name_m]Solomon[/name_m]
[name_m]Nicolas[/name_m]
[name_m]Scott[/name_m]
[name_m]Milo[/name_m]
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m]
[name_m]Raymond[/name_m] seems like a great fit. I also like [name_m]Peter[/name_m]. [name_f]Jane[/name_f] and [name_m]Jack[/name_m] are both derived from [name_m]John[/name_m], so… it’s like reusing the same name. I wouldn’t do it.
[name_m]Albert[/name_m]
[name_m]Andrew[/name_m]
[name_m]Barrett[/name_m]
[name_m]David[/name_m]
[name_m]Donald[/name_m]

[name_m]Robert[/name_m]
[name_m]Stewart[/name_m]
[name_m]Thomas[/name_m]
[name_m]Walter[/name_m]
[name_m]Wesley[/name_m]
[name_m]William[/name_m]
[name_m]Wesley[/name_m], [name_m]Tobias[/name_m], [name_m]Walter[/name_m], [name_m]August[/name_m], or [name_m]Tristan[/name_m]
[name_m]Hugh[/name_m], [name_m]Heath[/name_m]
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] and [name_m]Silas[/name_m] were my first thoughts to go with your set. You’ve got some great options, though!
[name_m]Walter[/name_m] (Walt)? [name_m]Martin[/name_m] is a very underused timeless classic, goes well with [name_m]Calvin[/name_m] and people would use in full unless you introduce otherwise. Perhaps you’d consider [name_m]Wesley[/name_m]? [name_m]Angelo[/name_m] great for the middle name, particularly if from your family.
[name_m]Jack[/name_m] is a solid choice! Timeless and charming.
From you other options, I love [name_m]Peter[/name_m]! [name_m]Raymond[/name_m] is amazing as well.
