Hello fellow name-obsessed peeps,
We’re looking for a sib name for baby number 3. We currently have two sons, [name]Eamon[/name] [name]Will[/name] and [name]Rafferty[/name] [name]Jack[/name].
Our surname is 3 syllables and ends in an ‘uh’ sound.
Any ideas?
This is what’s currently on the list. (It changes often!)
Boys:
[name]Murphy[/name]
[name]Artie[/name]
[name]Jimmy[/name]
[name]Eddie[/name]
- Middle name ideas are [name]Jim[/name], [name]Hugo[/name] and [name]Art[/name] (obviously NOT [name]Jimmy[/name] [name]Jim[/name], [name]Artie[/name] [name]Art[/name], etc.)
Girls:
[name]Ophelia[/name]
[name]Aurelia[/name]
[name]Saskia[/name]
[name]Delilah[/name]
*Middle name ideas are [name]Muse[/name] and [name]Lucy[/name].
Please do your magic, name genies! 
Cheers.
First of all, great choices for the first two! For the boy, I would choose [name]Artie[/name] (but I’d use [name]Arthur[/name] as the full name, definitely - so charming), or what about using [name]Hugo[/name] as the fn? And what about [name]Edmund[/name] as a fuller version of [name]Eddie[/name]? I see that you seem to like nn as fn, but I don’t think it meshes well with [name]Eamon[/name] and [name]Rafferty[/name]. As for a girl, I think [name]Ophelia[/name] and [name]Saskia[/name] are beautiful and have the right sound. So does [name]Lucy[/name] (again, this would work excellently as the fn). Good luck!
Combo ideas:
[name]Arthur[/name] [name]Hugo[/name]
[name]Arthur[/name] [name]Tom[/name]
[name]Hugo[/name] [name]Artie[/name]
[name]Edmund[/name] [name]Art/name
[name]Ophelia[/name] [name]Lucy[/name]
[name]Saskia[/name] [name]Lucy[/name]
[name]Ophelia[/name] [name]Muse[/name]
[name]Lucy[/name] [name]Saskia[/name]
Other names that came to mind with your two eldest:
[name]Tobias[/name]
[name]Humphrey[/name]
[name]Walter[/name]
[name]Oliver[/name] (I know this is more popular, but I’d love to see you use the nn [name]Ollie[/name])
[name]Peter[/name]
[name]Raoul[/name]
[name]Alasdair[/name]
[name]Benjamin[/name] (again, perhaps more popular, so I wouldn’t normally recommend, but I think it fits quite well)
[name]Nathaniel[/name] “[name]Nat[/name]” “[name]Niel[/name]”
[name]Julius[/name]
[name]Magnus[/name]
[name]Lawrence[/name]
[name]Fletcher[/name]

Wow, namegoddess. You are GOOD. 
Thanks so much for your suggestions.
I think you’re right about the nn as fn thing for a boy, and I absolutely [name]LOVE[/name] your suggestion of [name]Humphrey[/name]. Yay! So. Cool. Also liking [name]Julius[/name] and [name]Magnus[/name], as I’m quite partial to an ‘us’ ending. Was considering [name]Artemus[/name] as a full name for [name]Artie[/name] at one stage, but wondered whether it was too ‘heavy’…
Your suggested girls list had quite a number of names that have made my short-list in the past. [name]Greta[/name] and [name]Lucinda[/name] most recently. I might also now need to add [name]Cordelia[/name].
Thanks again!
Sorry but I don’t think any of your first name choices can even compare to [name]Eamon[/name] and [name]Rafferty[/name]. I like your girls list much better. [name]Aurelia[/name] [name]Muse[/name], [name]Delilah[/name] [name]Muse[/name] and [name]Saskia[/name] [name]Lucy[/name] would be lovely. Here are some other suggestions.
[name]Eamon[/name], [name]Rafferty[/name] and brother…

Thanks for providing such comprehensive lists, [name]Mischa[/name]. [name]How[/name] do you even know that many names?! Lol.
There were so many exciting names that I hadn’t considered for a boy. I nearly jumped out of my chair a few times with joy. Here’s what I’ve narrowed it down to…
[name]Humphrey[/name] - From namegoddess’ list. I love this and hubby does too (surprisingly!). We’re tempted to go with [name]Humphrey[/name] [name]Hugo[/name].
[name]Harvey[/name] - is my [name]Nanna[/name]'s maiden name, so an added family bonus.
[name]Sullivan[/name] - Yes!! I love the nn ‘[name]Sully[/name]’ too. It goes really well with [name]Eamon[/name] and [name]Rafferty[/name].
[name]Gulliver[/name] - Awesome, but not sure about nn. ‘Gully?’ This may be my fav. It has a similar feel to [name]Sullivan[/name], but has the nice literary connection.
I guess the problem now is to narrow it down to one!
I’m leaning towards [name]Saskia[/name] [name]Lucy[/name] for a girl, but hubby is more partial to the more feminine [name]Ophelia[/name] and [name]Aurelia[/name] (which I really like too.) I’m just not sure if they have enough spunk. WDYT?
Thank-you so much for your help, [name]Mischa[/name]. I’m so very glad I asked.
Cheerio.
