Expecting our 4th

Name Advice
1

I haven’t been here in forever, but God is blessing us with baby #4! There is an age difference to consider, so I wasn’t sure if I should try to find something that would go well with my youngest. I let my DH pick his name entirely on his own, (I know…it was hard.)

[name_m]Brendin[/name_m] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m], 12
[name_f]Alanna[/name_f] [name_f]Victoria[/name_f], 9
[name_m]Patrick[/name_m] [name_m]Lewis[/name_m], 20 months
[name_u]Baby[/name_u] #4 Due [name_f]April[/name_f] 2017

I just thought it would be fun to hear some name suggestions, I don’t have any names picked out at all! :slight_smile:

[name_m]Brendin[/name_m] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]
[name_f]Alanna[/name_f] [name_f]Victoria[/name_f]
[name_m]Patrick[/name_m] [name_m]Lewis[/name_m]

With the exception of [name_m]Brendin[/name_m] and [name_f]Alanna[/name_f], the firsts and middles are quite traditional. I wonder whether using one traditional name and one less traditional name would tie the sibset together as [name_m]Patrick[/name_m] and [name_m]Brendin[/name_m] and quite different in style.

Your boys names are both two syllables and end in a consonant sound so what about:
[name_m]Aaron[/name_m]
[name_u]Hudson[/name_u]
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m]
[name_m]Stephen[/name_m]

[name_f]Alanna[/name_f] is quite a popular, modern and feminine name. Some names with the same sort of feel are:
[name_f]Sienna[/name_f]
[name_f]Yasmin[/name_f]
[name_f]Joanna[/name_f]
[name_f]Alicia[/name_f]
[name_f]Savannah[/name_f]

My favourite combos for you:
[name_m]Aaron[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_f]Yasmin[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f]
[name_f]Sienna[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]
[name_f]Joanna[/name_f] [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m]
