Baby #4, need suggestions!

[kjp]

My hubby and I are expecting our baby (number 4!) in [name]September[/name]. My children’s names are [name]Henry[/name] [name]Jacob[/name], [name]Luke[/name] [name]Everett[/name], and [name]Rosalie[/name] [name]Jane[/name] ([name]Rosie[/name]). We don’t know the sex of the baby, although I’m 80% sure it’s a girl. Here are the name possibilities:

• [name]Penelope[/name] (We will most probably call her [name]Penny[/name]; [name]Penny[/name] and [name]Rosie[/name]? Too nick-namey sounding??)

• [name]Willow[/name] (I like it; my husband doesn’t)

• [name]Charlotte[/name] ([name]Love[/name] this one, but it’s my best friends daughter’s name, who will be very close in age with my baby, so there may be confusion with two [name]Charlotte[/name]'s around!)

• [name]Sophie[/name] (too boring? & same initial as hubby)

• [name]Indiana[/name] ([name]Love[/name] it! [name]Indie[/name] for short! Hubby hates it!)

• [name]Frances[/name] ([name]Frankie[/name] for short. I love it, I’m just worried about [name]Frankie[/name] being too masculine of a nickname for her)

(NEED more girl names! Something feminine, a little retro, but spunky too!)

Boys names:

• [name]Tristan[/name] (not sure about it; hubby is crazy about it)

• [name]River[/name] (I’ve loved this name since I first heard it, but am a little scared of the teasing. Any suggestions?)

• [name]Finn[/name] (I don’t like [name]Finley[/name] though, or [name]Finnegan[/name], or [name]Phineas[/name], of [name]Finian[/name], and I feel just [name]Finn[/name] sounds incomplete)

• [name]Owen[/name] (way too popular?)

• [name]Samuel[/name] ([name]Sam[/name] for short. I’ve always loved it, and it is my grandfathers name. Is it too boring?)

• [name]Theo[/name] (not crazy about [name]Theodore[/name] though)

• [name]Felix[/name] (does it remind you of [name]Felix[/name] The [name]Cat[/name], the cartoon?)

• [name]Oscar[/name] (I love it; husband doesnt!)

Tell me what you think! And don’t be shy to suggest alternatives! Thank you

First of all, I love the names of your “already there” children
Siblings: [name]Henry[/name], [name]Luke[/name], [name]Rosalie[/name]

[name]Penelope[/name] - [name]Love[/name] the nicknames, but [name]Penelope[/name] sounds so spanish, while the others are so thoroughly english. [name]Rosalie[/name] and [name]Penelope[/name] end on the same i-sound though, so they go pretty well together.

[name]Willow[/name] - Matches a sister named [name]Rosie[/name] pretty well, although there’s no cute nickname, you’ll have to call her by her full name.
I was always slightly miffed when my sisters got called by a nickname and I by my full name.

[name]Charlotte[/name] - goes well with the others, timeless classic, great nicknames

[name]Sophie[/name] - lovely, do have a look around if there’s many [name]Sophie[/name]'s in your area, if there aren’t: jump at the chance

[name]Indiana[/name] - because of [name]Indiana[/name] [name]Jones[/name] it seems way too masculine for me

[name]Frances[/name] - I always think of it as more of a boys name, because of [name]Frances[/name] from [name]Malcolm[/name] in the middle

[name]How[/name] do you like [name]Ivy[/name], [name]Juniper[/name], [name]Kate[/name], [name]Helen[/name] or [name]Caroline[/name] ?

[name]Tristan[/name] - It’s a nice name. If you fancy something more daring, you might go for Tristrum, not exactly the same, but heard of

[name]River[/name] - a bit too eco-let’s-hug-a-tree for me(no offence). I’m not a big fan of naming a child after things

[name]Finn[/name] - there’s so many Finns in all variations, the world doesn’t really need another

[name]Owen[/name] - that name wasn’t on my radar at all, I had no idea it was popular o.o shame really, it is a very nice name

[name]Samuel[/name] - I love this name, it being a family name makes it even greater

[name]Theo[/name] - I don’t like [name]Theodore[/name] either(Chipmunks anyone?) and [name]Theo[/name] on it’s own is very incomplete-looking

[name]Felix[/name] - Like it, first association is with “luck” not a cartoon cat

[name]Oscar[/name] - nice, but there might be some teasing around the time the oscars are handed out

[name]How[/name] do you like [name]Gabriel[/name], [name]Rupert[/name], [name]Christian[/name], [name]Nicholas[/name] or [name]Stephen[/name]?

[name]Don[/name]'t take anything I said personally, I don’t mean to be evil, it just happens

• [name]Penelope[/name]- Really cute. [name]Penny[/name] and [name]Rosie[/name] are really cute together.

• [name]Willow[/name]- Very “hippy” imo. [name]How[/name] about [name]Willa[/name]?

• [name]Charlotte[/name]- Nice but gaining in popularity.

• [name]Sophie[/name]- It is not boring at all! But with [name]Sophia[/name]/[name]Sofia[/name] being so popular I wouldnt use it.

• [name]Indiana[/name]- [name]Kinda[/name] masculine imo. What about [name]Indigo[/name]?

• [name]Frances[/name]- I dont like this one. [name]Frankie[/name] is very masculine and it would clash with a sister named [name]Rosalie[/name].

Others:[name]Adele[/name], [name]Alice[/name], [name]Beatrice[/name], [name]Magnolia[/name], [name]Juliet[/name], [name]Cecily[/name], Gwedolyn, [name]Sadie[/name], [name]Elodie[/name], [name]Elinor[/name], [name]Leah[/name], [name]Freya[/name], [name]Calla[/name], [name]Cora[/name], [name]Iris[/name], [name]Clara[/name], [name]Lucille[/name], [name]Mirabelle[/name], [name]Matilda[/name].

Boys names:

• [name]Tristan[/name]- This name sounds very feminine imo. Eventhough it is an old name it still sounds trendy to me. I’m not a fan.

• [name]River[/name]- Not the best match with [name]Luke[/name] and [name]Henry[/name]. Maybe as a mn?

• [name]Finn[/name] - I dont think [name]Finn[/name] it incomplete. What about [name]Fintan[/name] or [name]Griffin[/name]?

• [name]Owen[/name]- To trendy with the other names imo.

• [name]Samuel[/name]- [name]Love[/name] this one. Goes well with the others.

• [name]Theo[/name]- I know what you mean about [name]Theodore[/name], I prefer just [name]Theo[/name] too. I think it can stand on its own.

• [name]Felix[/name]- I love [name]Felix[/name], I dont think of the cat at all and most kids now a days wouldnt even know who [name]Felix[/name] the cat is.

• [name]Oscar[/name]- Makes me think of hot dogs and fish. I actually think [name]Oscar[/name] is more teasable than [name]River[/name] would be.

Others: [name]Oliver[/name], [name]Nathaniel[/name], [name]Julian[/name], [name]Emmett[/name], [name]Jasper[/name], [name]William[/name], [name]Nolan[/name], [name]Harrison[/name], [name]Dominic[/name], [name]Joseph[/name], [name]Jonas[/name], [name]Edison[/name], [name]George[/name], [name]Isaac[/name], [name]Marcus[/name], [name]Silas[/name], [name]Griffin[/name], [name]Calvin[/name], [name]Jude[/name], [name]Alec[/name].
