I’m about a month away from having baby boy and we are having the hardest time deciding on a name for him!
Our kids’ names are [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], [name_m]Todd[/name_m], and [name_f]Anna[/name_f] (though she mostly goes by [name_f]Annie[/name_f]). I like the idea of having 2 syllable names for the girls and a 1 syllable name for the boys, but it’s not necessary.
My husband loves the name [name_m]Tommy[/name_m] ([name_m]Thomas[/name_m]) but I feel like [name_m]Todd[/name_m] and [name_m]Tommy[/name_m] are too close. Other names on our list are
[name_m]Ben/name_m
[name_u]Dean[/name_u]
[name_m]Isaac[/name_m]
[name_m]Paul[/name_m]
We like the classic/traditional names. I feel like [name_m]Ben[/name_m] is going to be the default name but its not striking a cord with us. Nothing is, really! Maybe we’re thinking too much about it and need to take a break from name-finding haha. Any thoughts or name suggestions are appreciated!
O really like your shortlist. I’m not loving [name_m]Todd[/name_m] and [name_m]Tommy[/name_m] together but I don’t think it’s a complete deal breaker if it’s the only name you both love.
I love [name_u]Dean[/name_u] and [name_m]Ben[/name_m] with sibs.
I immediately thought of [name_m]Scott[/name_m] with your other kids names and like that it is a name that is underused these days much like [name_m]Todd[/name_m] and [name_u]Dean[/name_u].
Some other ideas that would go well with your other kids:
[name_u]Wade[/name_u]
[name_m]Heath[/name_m]
[name_m]Grant[/name_m]
[name_m]Sean[/name_m]
[name_m]Luke[/name_m]
[name_m]Mark[/name_m]
I like Dean with your sibset. Like the suggestions for Heath and Grant too!

I agree [name_m]Todd[/name_m] and [name_m]Tommy[/name_m] are a little close.
[name_m]Issac[/name_m] and [name_m]Ben[/name_m] both go really well in the sibset, I favour [name_m]Issac[/name_m] moreso!
Some other names which spring to mind:
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f], [name_m]Todd[/name_m], [name_f]Annie[/name_f] and [name_m]Joe[/name_m] / [name_u]Joey[/name_u] ([name_m]Joseph[/name_m])
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f], [name_m]Todd[/name_m], [name_f]Annie[/name_f] and [name_m]Grant[/name_m]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f], [name_m]Todd[/name_m], [name_f]Annie[/name_f] and [name_m]Ross[/name_m]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f], [name_m]Todd[/name_m], [name_f]Annie[/name_f] and [name_u]Finn[/name_u]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f], [name_m]Todd[/name_m], [name_f]Annie[/name_f] and [name_m]Ron[/name_m] ([name_m]Ronald[/name_m])
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f], [name_m]Todd[/name_m], [name_f]Annie[/name_f] and [name_u]Theo[/name_u]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f], [name_m]Todd[/name_m], [name_f]Annie[/name_f] and [name_m]Mike[/name_m] ([name_m]Micheal[/name_m])
I love [name_m]Issac[/name_m], [name_m]Mike[/name_m] (new love for [name_m]Mike[/name_m] after his character in Stranger Things) and [name_m]Ron[/name_m].
I do like [name_m]Ben[/name_m] for you. I also quite like the suggestion of [name_m]Nate[/name_m]. Would you consider [name_u]Kit[/name_u] as nn for [name_m]Christopher[/name_m]?
I really like [name_m]Ben[/name_m] for you, but if it’s not striking a cord, it’s not striking a cord. Maybe [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] you’ll like more? [name_u]Love[/name_u] the suggestions of [name_m]Graham[/name_m], [name_m]Nate[/name_m], [name_u]Finn[/name_u], [name_u]Theo[/name_u], [name_m]Quinton[/name_m], [name_m]Henry[/name_m], [name_m]Jasper[/name_m], [name_u]Emmett[/name_u], [name_m]Connor[/name_m], [name_u]Sam[/name_u], [name_u]Nico[/name_u], [name_m]Leo[/name_m] (my favourite!), [name_m]Felix[/name_m], and [name_m]Luke[/name_m].
I think [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] nn [name_m]Ben[/name_m] is a beautiful classic name and goes well with your other children!
[name_u]Dean[/name_u] is also a nice name and goes well.
[name_m]Tommy[/name_m] unfortunately does feel pretty close to [name_m]Todd[/name_m] to me… but if you both really love it then go for it… he’s going to be his own little person and how often will you really be listing off all your children’s names together?
With [name_m]Ben[/name_m] and [name_m]Tommy[/name_m] in mind, how about:
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f], [name_m]Todd[/name_m], [name_f]Anna[/name_f] and…
[name_m]Bennett[/name_m]
[name_m]Brendan[/name_m]
[name_m]Charles[/name_m] nn [name_u]Charlie[/name_u]
[name_m]Cole[/name_m]
[name_u]Drew[/name_u]
[name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_u]Evan[/name_u]
[name_m]Gavin[/name_m]
[name_m]Gideon[/name_m]
[name_m]Henry[/name_m]
[name_u]Jude[/name_u]
[name_u]Max[/name_u]
[name_m]Miles[/name_m]
[name_m]Nathan[/name_m] nn [name_m]Nate[/name_m]
[name_m]Nicholas[/name_m]
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m]
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m]
[name_m]Quentin[/name_m]
[name_u]Reid[/name_u]
[name_m]Samuel[/name_m] nn [name_u]Sam[/name_u]
[name_m]Simon[/name_m]
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] nn [name_u]Theo[/name_u]
[name_m]Zachary[/name_m]
My dad is [name_m]Todd[/name_m] and my brother is [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]. I dont think they’re too close. We’ve never had an issue. But I do like your idea of one syllable.
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f], [name_m]Todd[/name_m], [name_f]Anna[/name_f] and [name_m]Cole[/name_m]
