Boaz or Bay?

Surprise pregnant with #5[name_f][/name_f]!

[name_f][/name_f]

Siblings are [name_m]Abel[/name_m], [name_f]Olive[/name_f], [name_f]Fern[/name_f] & [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]

[name_f][/name_f]

Top two for me are [name_f]Bay[/name_f] and [name_m]Boaz[/name_m], what’s your vote?

Ooh, both great options that go with older siblings really well! It’s a tough call, I think personal preference goes to [name_m]Boaz[/name_m].

I just looked up [name_f]Bay[/name_f] (which I took for a nature name only) and discovered that it has at least one other origin:

[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f][/name_f]more info[name_f][/name_f]

As a submitted name on BtN [name_f][/name_f]- “Derived from the archaic Russian verb баять (bayat) meaning “to speak, to tell”, which is ultimately derived from [name_m]Church[/name_m] Slavonic bajati meaning ‘to speak, to talk, to tell, to narrate’.”

[name_f][/name_f]

This adds a whole level of meaning that makes it so closely compete with [name_m]Boaz[/name_m]! I adore the option of nn [name_m]Bo[/name_m] so I’m sticking with my original vote…I think!

[name_m]Boaz[/name_m] gets my vote!!

[name_m]Boaz[/name_m] for me!! Congratulations.

[name_m]Boaz[/name_m], definitely.

I love, love, love [name_m]Boaz[/name_m] on its own and for your family. :slight_smile:[name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Bay[/name_f] is very cool, but it reminds me too much of the slang term “bae,” even though that trend seems to be over.

I really like [name_m]Boaz[/name_m] for you!

Congratulations! I think [name_m]Boaz[/name_m] is absolutely perfect with your set!

Huge congratulations!

Your kiddos are beautifully named :green_heart:

[name_f]My[/name_f] favourite is [name_m]Boaz[/name_m]. He’s such a lovely biblical classic that feels unexpected, zippy and fun. Very in keeping with the overall feel of your children’s names.

[name_m]Boaz[/name_m]! I love the nickname [name_m]Bo[/name_m] and he has his own pizzazz to fit very well with your other kids’ names.

[name_f]Bay[/name_f] is so sweet in theory, but to me he feels a bit like the sounds of [name_m]Abel[/name_m] rearranged.

[name_m]Boaz[/name_m] is so cool!

[name_m]Boaz[/name_m]. It is highly distintive.

I adore your childrens names! Not sure if you know the gender yet, personally I like [name_f]Bay[/name_f] for a girl and [name_m]Boaz[/name_m] for a boy!

Another vote for [name_m]Boaz[/name_m]! It’s unexpected and it has a nice meaning. [name_m]Boaz[/name_m] sounds magnificent with your oldest children’s names.

[name_f]Bay[/name_f] is an amazing name, but unfortunately, I think that [name_m]Abel[/name_m] and [name_f]Bay[/name_f] may sound too similar for brothers.
