I’m fourteen-ish weeks away from baby boy number four joining my wild bunch and we are so stuck. [name_f]My[/name_f] husband will barely talk about names, saying stuff like “We always find the perfect name, it’ll just pop up like always!” He doesn’t seem to understand that those “perfect” names “pop up” because I do TONS of digging and research to find them…
As the title says, our older sons are B.odhi, P.ax and S.hiloh, all of which have wonderful, calm and meaningful meanings. I would like something that flowed with them, but at this point, I’m flexible on that. I do want to avoid B, P and S names, as well as names that end in ee, x and o. I know that’s limiting, but I do want them to have their own vibe, if that makes ANY kind of sense…
Names I love, but can’t use: [name_m]Hugo[/name_m], [name_m]Felix[/name_m], [name_u]Bowen[/name_u], [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m], Milo…
Currently I really like [name_u]Auden[/name_u], [name_m]Truett[/name_m] (love the nickname True) and [name_m]Elouan[/name_m]. Others that we’ve considered are [name_m]Oskar[/name_m] (too popular for me), [name_m]Orson[/name_m] or [name_u]Lennon[/name_u].
Middle names will be family names and I don’t worry about “flow” as much there. Last name is a one syllable S name.
Help? Please?
Thank you all so much for being wonderful, as always!
bodhi, pax, & shiloh go so well together and are such cool, handsome names, so i totally get your struggle to find the perfect name for baby brother!
i do really love auden with this set. it’s so poetic & gentle like your other boys’ names, and it has the lovely meaning of “old friend”
truett is also such a sweet name, and it has a very similar bubbly, happy kind of vibe to your big boys’ names. i think it would also be a great choice!
here are some either ideas that i think match your criteria and fit well with bodhi, pax, & shiloh…

i love all of these with your set, but my favorites are:
Your boys have very fashionable names. I particularly love seeing S.hiloh on a boy so gorgeous.
Anyways you’ve had lots of suggestions so count any repeats as me being in agreement with the berries
I love the peace them and think if you can find a name that works for you guys with a similar theme would be lovely.
[name_u]Axel[/name_u] ~ father of peace
[name_u]Callum[/name_u] ~ dove
[name_m]Casimir[/name_m] ~ means destroyer of peace which I had to include as 4 kiddos is essentially destroyer of peace if your kiddos are anything like mine
[name_u]Jonah[/name_u] ~ dove
[name_m]Wilfred[/name_m] ~ desires peace
[name_m]Fritz[/name_m] ~ peaceful ruler
[name_u]Fen[/name_u] ~ marshland; peace
[name_m]Zuma[/name_m] ~ peace
[name_m]Kazuki[/name_m] ~ hope of peace
[name_u]Miran[/name_u] ~ peace, world
From this list I love [name_u]Fen[/name_u], [name_u]Axel[/name_u], [name_u]Jonah[/name_u] & [name_u]Miran[/name_u] for you guys.
I really love [name_u]Auden[/name_u], [name_m]Orson[/name_m] and [name_m]Truett[/name_m] with your boys! (and in general). I think nn [name_u]True[/name_u] would be a lovely little nod to the peace-related meanings of [name_u]Pax[/name_u] and [name_u]Shiloh[/name_u] and [name_u]Bodhi[/name_u] with its connection to enlightenment.
[name_m]Truett[/name_m] is perfect! I like the suggestion of [name_u]Jonah[/name_u] too although it feels a little more classic than your other boys names
I’m not sure if this would fit for you, but [name_u]Tate[/name_u] was the first name to come to mind. It’s meaning of cheerful would be sweet with the other boys’ names.
First of all I love your boys names, they’re such a perfect set, I can see how it might be stressful trying to keep that flow going! Of your current favourites, I really like [name_m]Elouan[/name_m] and [name_m]Truett[/name_m] / [name_u]True[/name_u].
Seconding other berry suggestions [name_u]Evren[/name_u], [name_u]Kai[/name_u] and [name_m]Zuma[/name_m]!
How about…
[name_u]Zen[/name_u]
Hue
[name_u]Asa[/name_u]
[name_u]Eden[/name_u]
[name_u]Auri[/name_u] (oops broke the rules, sorry!)
[name_u]Cypress[/name_u]
[name_u]Nova[/name_u]
[name_u]Linden[/name_u]
[name_u]Rune[/name_u]
[name_u]Ocean[/name_u]
[name_u]Noam[/name_u]
[name_u]True[/name_u] fits so perfectly! I like the simplicity of [name_u]True[/name_u] better as a full name instead of [name_m]Truett[/name_m], especially with P.ax as a brother.
I’ll second [name_u]Evren[/name_u], [name_u]Forest[/name_u] and [name_u]River[/name_u] too!
I keep wanting to say [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m], [name_u]Solace[/name_u] and [name_u]Sage[/name_u], but I know you said no ‘S’ names with S.hiloh. I guess ‘S’ is just a very calm letter!
You really seem to hit my vibe on the head this pregnancy and even included a lot of my boys’ middle names, or possible middle names on your list!
Names I liked from your list:
[name_m]Caius[/name_m] (but the first syllable of my name is [name_m]Ky[/name_m], so it’s probably too close…)
[name_u]Ellis[/name_u] (I would use this in a heartbeat, but my ex husband’s last name is [name_u]Ellis[/name_u]. I could cry every time I think about it.)
[name_u]Golden[/name_u] (this is on my list as a middle name possibility to honor my great grandmother, Goldie)
[name_m]Hugh[/name_m] (I just love Hugh… [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] was ALWAYS on my list until I had [name_u]Shiloh[/name_u] and don’t want to repeat the oh ending. I may run this by my guy again. It has such a wonderful meaning!)
[name_u]Jasper[/name_u] (this was high on my list, but it’s so popular now…)
[name_u]Jensen[/name_u] (I love the way this sounds, but it doesn’t have the meaning I look for)
[name_m]Leif[/name_m] (all of my boys’ have a “lee” middle name, it’s a family tradition and this is my front runner for that this time around!)
[name_m]Otis[/name_m] (I love, love, love [name_m]Otis[/name_m], but one of P.ax’s middle names is Leodis after his great grandpa)
[name_m]Tadgh[/name_m] (DEFINITELY a guilty pleasure of mine. I’m [name_u]Irish[/name_u] and a writer, so this one hits home, but I
don’t think my husband digs it like I do.)
[name_m]Torin[/name_m] (I think [name_m]Torin[/name_m] is so precious, but my best friend had a [name_m]Soren[/name_m] earlier this year)
[name_u]Wren[/name_u] (I actually love this one on a boy, but it’s been vetoed already, hahaha)
Thank you so much for putting so much work into your response. I TRULY appreciate it. I resent [name_m]Tadgh[/name_m] and [name_m]Hugh[/name_m] to my husband, maybe I’ll get a better response this time!
