We have 3 boys and are expecting boy #4 in [name_f]May[/name_f]. We are having a tough time coming up with a name for this little guy! Brothers are:
[name_m]Isaac[/name_m] [name_m]William[/name_m] (10)
[name_m]Ethan[/name_m] [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] (8)
[name_m]Andrew[/name_m] [name_m]Jonathan[/name_m] (17 months)
Some of the middle names are we considering are:
[name_u]Rhys[/name_u] (or other “R” names, to honor my dad, [name_u]Roy[/name_u] - Also dh and I both have “R” middle names)
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] (name I love but can’t use as a fn because my sister has an [name_m]Eli[/name_m])
[name_m]Samuel[/name_m] (family name on dh’s side)
[name_m]Gideon[/name_m] (because dh loves the story of [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] and the name)
[name_m]Alexander[/name_m] (name we both like)
Right now I think the two top names are [name_m]Caleb[/name_m] and [name_m]Jacob[/name_m], but I’m having a hard time committing to either one because of their popularity and because both names have already been used by my cousins (for their children). I’ve talked to them both, and neither mind my using the names ([name_m]Jacob[/name_m] does not go by that name and [name_m]Caleb[/name_m] is spelled differently).
I’d give points to [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] since your husband loves it. [name_m]Just[/name_m] doesn’t feel right to you? I think [name_u]Rhys[/name_u] is not a Biblical name, but it does fit in your set nicely.
Here are some other Biblical names you might like:
[name_m]Joel[/name_m]
[name_m]Peter[/name_m]
[name_m]Isaiah[/name_m] (if you don’t mind repeating initials)
[name_m]Daniel[/name_m]
[name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Josiah[/name_m] (since you can’t have [name_m]Elijah[/name_m], maybe this one?)
[name_m]Titus[/name_m]
[name_m]Obadiah[/name_m] (I noticed that you have all vowels going on with your other boys)
[name_u]Seth[/name_u]
[name_m]Thomas[/name_m]
[name_m]Barnaby[/name_m]/[name_m]Barnabas[/name_m]
[name_m]David[/name_m]
[name_m]Solomon[/name_m]
[name_m]Boaz[/name_m]
[name_m]Asher[/name_m]
[name_u]Asa[/name_u]
