I get a marvelous bluesy feel from your names.

I love your name choices! The names I like best with [name]Hugo[/name] [name]Thomas[/name] and [name]Olive[/name] [name]Grace[/name] are [name]Amos[/name], [name]Felix[/name], [name]Jasper[/name], [name]Jude[/name], [name]George[/name], [name]Henry[/name], or [name]Otis[/name]. I do like most of the names that end in -o, but I think it would be nice to have a contrast in the ending sounds of each child’s first name.

[name]Otto[/name] - Good name, but it doesn’t sound right with your other little ones.
[name]Amos[/name] - [name]Love[/name] this one.
[name]Felix[/name] - [name]Love[/name] this one.
[name]Jasper[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name]. This one sounds great with your kids.
[name]Jude[/name] - It’s okay.
[name]George[/name] - I like this one with your kids.
[name]Milo[/name] - [name]Love[/name] it. Sounds great with your kids.
[name]Arlo[/name] - [name]Love[/name] it.
[name]Julius[/name] - Eh.
[name]Quinn[/name] - I like this name, but I don’t think it has the same tone as [name]Hugo[/name] and [name]Olive[/name].
[name]Maximo[/name] - NMS
[name]Bardo[/name] - NMS
[name]Henry[/name] - It’s okay. I’m hearing it so much now. Plus, you would have repeated first letters (if that bothers you).
[name]Otis[/name] - I like it, but I don’t love it.
[name]Aubrey[/name] - Eh.
[name]Griffin[/name] - Different style than the other two.
[name]Nico[/name] - Not bad.
[name]Ivo[/name] - NMS
[name]Remy[/name] - Not bad.
[name]Christian[/name] ([name]Kit[/name]) - [name]Love[/name] [name]Christian[/name], but dislike the nn [name]Kit[/name]. Still, it sounds good with the other kids.
[name]Toby[/name] - Eh.

Also, what about [name]Cyrus[/name] or [name]Silas[/name]?

[name]Love[/name] your style. These are the names I think will work really well with your other 2 children and I’ll tell you which of you 2 middle names (both very great) go with them:

[name]Felix[/name] [name]William[/name]
[name]Jasper[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] or [name]Jasper[/name] [name]William[/name], both are great
[name]Jude[/name] [name]Alexander[/name]
[name]Milo[/name] [name]William[/name]
[name]Quinn[/name] [name]Alexander[/name]
[name]Henry[/name] [name]William[/name]
[name]Griffin[/name] [name]Alexander[/name]
[name]Nico[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] or [name]Nico[/name] [name]William[/name]
[name]Remy[/name] [name]Alexander[/name]

I love [name]Felix[/name], [name]Jasper[/name], [name]George[/name], and [name]Remy[/name]. Here are my suggestions:

[name]Finn[/name]
[name]Frederick[/name]
[name]Linus[/name]
[name]Silas[/name]

So many to think about! You guys are good.

[name]Ferdinand[/name] - I loike it thanks [name]Lori[/name] [name]Johnson[/name]. [name]Ferdie[/name] it has a good ring to it. In fact I like all your suggestions but can’t use [name]Gus[/name] (our surname has that sound in it or it would be the clear winner). [name]Felix[/name] I love but my DH says absolutely NO :(. [name]Jasper[/name] and [name]Archie[/name] have been used by close-ish friends. And I like [name]Willie[/name] but it means p.enis where I live but I would consider [name]Wills[/name].

baileyanne I love [name]Remy[/name] too I think it’s my favourite. I also like the suggestion of [name]Silas[/name] and have added that to the list.

Thanks Dantea. [name]Jude[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] was to be [name]Olive[/name]'s name if she was a boy! So that’s a definite contender but I like [name]Remy[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] best, I think. Flows well and goes with our surname.

Frustratedauthor I like [name]Amos[/name] too. I think it’s my second favourite or possibly equal favourite.

Amyb2 I agree with you I think those names match too.

Agirlinred [name]Amos[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] is a definite contender thanks :smiley: and a bluesy feel, you say? That’s really interesting - we were going for underused classics but I like bluesy too!

Thanks everyone, I narrowed my list down to two contenders so far. Well ok probably about 5 - after all this is a serious process.

Oh I love some of the names on your list!

[name]Jasper[/name] is the one that stood out to me as fitting really well with [name]Hugo[/name] and [name]Oliver[/name] and the combo [name]Jasper[/name] [name]William[/name] would be gorgeous.

Otherwise I love; [name]Amos[/name], [name]Jude[/name], [name]Milo[/name], [name]Arlo[/name], [name]Quinn[/name], [name]Henry[/name], [name]Aubrey[/name], [name]Remy[/name] and [name]Toby[/name].

I love seeing [name]Aubrey[/name] on a boys list and [name]Aubrey[/name] [name]William[/name] is great.

[name]Hugo[/name], [name]Olive[/name] & [name]Jude[/name]
[name]Hugo[/name], [name]Olive[/name] & [name]Milo[/name]
[name]Hugo[/name], [name]Olive[/name] & [name]Quinn[/name]
[name]Hugo[/name], [name]Olive[/name] & [name]Remy[/name]
[name]Hugo[/name], [name]Olive[/name] & [name]Toby[/name]
[name]Hugo[/name], [name]Olive[/name] & [name]Jasper[/name]

The above are my favourite sibsets - they go really well together.

[name]Milo[/name] [name]Alexander[/name], [name]Jude[/name] [name]William[/name], [name]Toby[/name] [name]Alexander[/name], [name]Remy[/name] [name]William[/name], [name]Jasper[/name] [name]William[/name] and [name]Quinn[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] are all gorgeous combo’s.

I love [name]Hugo[/name] and [name]Olive[/name]!

My favorites from your list are [name]Amos[/name], [name]Remy[/name], [name]Felix[/name], and [name]George[/name]. [name]Henry[/name] can also give you some great nicknames, like [name]Huck[/name] or [name]Hal[/name]. I love names like [name]Milo[/name] and [name]Arlo[/name], but since they both end in “o”, I’d worry that they are too similar to [name]Hugo[/name]. But seriously-
[name]Remy[/name] [name]Alexander[/name]
[name]Amos[/name] [name]William[/name]
[name]Love[/name] those.

So we’ve come down to:

[name]George[/name] [name]William[/name]
[name]Jude[/name] [name]Alexander[/name]
[name]Remy[/name] [name]Alexander[/name]

Thank you all so much for your help!

[name]Jude[/name] [name]Alexander[/name]!!! [name]Hugo[/name], [name]Olive[/name] and [name]Jude[/name] would be awesome.

[name]Hugo[/name], [name]Olive[/name], and [name]George[/name] makes me smile :slight_smile: I love [name]George[/name] [name]William[/name]!!!

[name]Christian[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] popped out to me. [name]Love[/name] it! It is such a handsome name. I also think the nn [name]Kit[/name] is adorable.

Oh, I just saw where you narrowed it down to 3. I vote for [name]Jude[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] :slight_smile:

From your 3 narrowed choices, definitely [name]Jude[/name] [name]Alexander[/name]. :slight_smile:

[name]Cris[/name]

You have great taste! Of the three you narrowed down, I like [name]Jude[/name] and [name]George[/name] the best, esp. [name]George[/name]. Otherwise, from your original list, I like

[name]Felix[/name]
[name]Jasper[/name]
[name]Jude[/name]
[name]George[/name]
[name]Milo[/name] - love this, but maybe too much with [name]Hugo[/name]
[name]Julius[/name]
[name]Henry[/name]

I love [name]Kit[/name] as a nn, but more for [name]Christopher[/name] than [name]Christian[/name].

Good luck!
