Finding the perfect name for number 3

Name Advice
1

Less than 3 months until we meet our little rainbow 3rd baby. Needing both boy and girl names- Brothers are [name_m]Sonny[/name_m] (Harrison James) & [name_m]Finley[/name_m] (Finley Arthur) and we still can’t seem to narrow it down.

So far we like but not set on:

[name_m]Luca[/name_m] [name_m]Kingsley[/name_m]
[name_m]August[/name_m] (nn.Gus or Augie) [name_m]Robin[/name_m]
[name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_m]William[/name_m]

[name_f]Mae[/name_f] Mackenzie/Aurelia
[name_f]Thea[/name_f] [name_f]Wren[/name_f]

Bonus points for names that spark joy or have positive meanings like ‘Light, sunshine etc’. Ideally simple, easy to say and spell and love links with Children’s literature.

I like Harrison James (Sonny), Finley Arthur &

Aurelia Mae (Goldie)
Theodora Wren (Thea)
Thea Celeste
Tabitha Iris (Tibby) - with Iris meaning rainbow
Matilda Celeste (Tilda)
Bridget Marigold (Birdie)
Beatrice Lucy (Bea, Birdie)
Adelaide Lucy (Daisy, Laidy - though not sure if you’re up for a So by & a Laidy/Lady)
Jessamine Lucy (Jessa, Minnie, Sammie, Mina)
Leonor Evangeline (Leni, Nora)
Willamina Zoe/Joy (Willa, Mina)
Mabel Felicity (Maisie)

(I like yours too, though Mackenzie doesn’t go swift all your classic choices and I’m drawn to slightly longer names with your boys’)

Otis Benedict (Benedict meaning blessed)
Rafferty Edmund
Lucien Felix
Benedict Marlowe
Bennett Marlowe
Jasper Thomas / Robin (Jasper meaning treasure)
Lucas Gilbert
Xavier Thomas
Winston Peter
Wyatt Anthony (Anthony meaning priceless one)

(I like Otto William, August Robin would be good too but it’s been very popular the last few years and I prefer August in second spot as I don’t love Gus or Aug/Auggie, Luca Kingsley isn’t the best flow imo, with the repeat K sound, maybe Luca Theodore, though I do prefer Lucas, Lucian/en or Luke these days).

[name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_m]William[/name_m] is such a good name! And I feel it’s a good fit with your current children’s names :blush: [name_m]William[/name_m] [name_m]Otto[/name_m] is also a lovely option.
