Ok - So i’ve been using this site as a source for names for a while and we’re really desperate now so I thought I’d make an account and ask for some help. My name is [name]Zara[/name], and my hubby is [name]William[/name].
We already have - [name]Wolfgang[/name] [name]Felix[/name] ‘Wolfie’ (4), [name]Persephone[/name] [name]Mila[/name] ‘[name]Posey[/name]’ (2) and now we’re expecting a boy.
The middle name is going to be [name]Oliver[/name] and we like the combos:
[name]EDIT[/name] : I thought of [name]Thaddeus[/name]! I think it’s great with [name]Wolfgang[/name] & [name]Persephone[/name]! I love [name]Thaddeus[/name] [name]Oliver[/name]! Definitely my favorite for you!
[name]Wolfgang[/name] [name]Felix[/name] and [name]Persephone[/name] [name]Mila[/name] are great names. Neither [name]Wolfgang[/name] nor [name]Persephone[/name] are in the top 1000, so I would like to see something just as unusual for their brother. Ideas:
I think [name]Jameson[/name] [name]Oliver[/name] b/c I like more classic choices. I love [name]Oliver[/name]! But your other children have more unusual (and cool!) names, so [name]Mattias[/name] is my second choice. None of the other suit my taste.
I love the idea of [name]Ulysses[/name] [name]Oliver[/name]! [name]Ulysses[/name] has the same gravitas as [name]Wolfgang[/name] and [name]Persephone[/name], and the nickname Uly/Uley is so cute and fits right in with Wolfie and [name]Posey[/name].
I would also suggest
[name]Raphael[/name] [name]Oliver[/name] (nn [name]Rafe[/name] or [name]Raffy[/name] or [name]Ray[/name])
Only just been able to get back on - wow, we’re really spoilt for choice now! I love literally most of these - some are gems that I have completely forgotten about!
I really love-
[name]Hawthorne[/name]
[name]Thaddeus[/name] (you’re right Lucyyjames, this is awesome, I love it!)
[name]Rafferty[/name]
[name]Ulysses[/name] (!!! [name]Love[/name]!)
[name]Mordecai[/name]
I do love nearly all of the names on your lists but those are my favourites. [name]Will[/name] get hubby to read through the thread and see if any stand out to him! Thank you all so much!
Of your options I like Lysander and Peregrine. I also like the suggestions of Thaddeus and Mordecai.

[name]Peregrine[/name] and [name]Lysander[/name] I like best of all. They don’t strike me as plain at all, even next two the wonderful names you’ve already given your children. The only strike against [name]Peregrine[/name] is that it so close to [name]Persephone[/name], compared to [name]Wolfgang[/name].
[name]Mattias[/name] I love, but it will get mispronounced in the US. [name]Anders[/name] is great but not with [name]Oliver[/name].
So… [name]Lysander[/name] gets my vote. You could also try [name]Leander[/name].
Your two kids have excellent names. From your list my favorite is definitely [name]Lysander[/name] (or what about [name]Evander[/name] or [name]Leander[/name]?), and I think it would fit well with your sibset. [name]Peregrine[/name] would also be a nice mix with your sibset and would definitely be my second choice. To me, [name]Zephaniah[/name] has too similar of a sound quality to [name]Persephone[/name] (the Zeph and seph being such prominent syllables in each name, sound way too similar) to make it usable. [name]Mattias[/name] and [name]Anders[/name] are both nice names, but sound a little boring next to [name]Wolfgang[/name] and [name]Persephone[/name]. [name]Jameson[/name] is the only one from you list I’m not fond of.
Here’s a few other suggestions (sorry for any repeats):

My favourite from your original list is [name]Peregrine[/name] [name]Oliver[/name]- so gorgeous, like your other kids’ names! I also love [name]Lysander[/name] but I don’t think it flows very well with [name]Oliver[/name] in the middle. I saw [name]Peregrine[/name] [name]Lysander[/name] once and always though that was a beautiful combo.
I like [name]Lysander[/name] with your subset because you could nn. Him [name]Leo[/name] for [name]Lysander[/name] [name]Oliver[/name]. I think that goes well with brother “Wolfie.” otherwise I love [name]Jamison[/name] and [name]Zephaniah[/name].
[name]Peregrine[/name] [name]Oliver[/name] - lovely and the nn [name]Perry[/name] would be gorgeous
[name]Zephaniah[/name] [name]Oliver[/name]- again, beautiful - nn Zeph very cool
[name]Jameson[/name] [name]Oliver[/name]- I like this but I think it is a bit too bland next to your other children’s names (but a great name in itself apart from being a whisky brand)
[name]Mattias[/name] [name]Oliver[/name]- love [name]Mattias[/name] , this is on my guilty pleasures list (not really SOs style)
[name]Lysander[/name] [name]Oliver[/name]- [name]One[/name] of my favourite ever names , again on my guilty pleasures list- this name makes be go all goosepimpley and has the very wearable nn [name]Zander[/name]
[name]Anders[/name] [name]Oliver[/name]- ok - again not as standout as your other two , but a nice name on its own
My favourite would have to be [name]Lysander[/name] [name]Oliver[/name] (oooh very Shakespearian - maybe that’s why I like it :D)
second -[name]Peregrine[/name]
third - [name]Zephaniah[/name]
edited : Wow , and have just seen the suggestion of [name]Ulysses[/name] - that is pretty awesome too!
Thank you all so much!
