Help me narrow for Boy #5!

[name_m]Hi[/name_m]!
We’re expecting baby #6 in [name_f]December[/name_f]. He will be our 5th boy, and I would love some early name input! I need to narrow (although we have plenty of time). We are in the Midwest US. Our kids range from 12-2yrs:
[name_m]Eero[/name_m] St.Thomas
[name_f]Pippa[/name_f] [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f]
[name_m]Edmund[/name_m] [name_m]Shawn[/name_m] (Eddie)
[name_m]Moses[/name_m] [name_m]Doyle[/name_m] (Moss/Mosey)
[name_m]Florian[/name_m] [name_m]Roark[/name_m] (Fin/Flor)

Last name is H.aywood

We rarely list names all together, so sibset is a thought but not a HUGE concern. We do try to stick with names that have family significance and/or saint names.
A few of our preliminary name combos for inspo:

[name_m]Jude[/name_m] [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m]
[name_m]Asa[/name_m] [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m]
[name_m]Peregrine[/name_m] [name_m]Merce[/name_m] (Percy)
[name_m]Lucian[/name_m] [name_m]Mael[/name_m]
Solan [name_m]Leopold[/name_m]
[name_m]Stellan[/name_m] [name_m]Meir[/name_m]

Other names in consideration:
Ames/Amias
[name_m]Caius[/name_m]
[name_m]Cyrus[/name_m]
[name_m]Ellis[/name_m]
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] (popular locally though)
Ivo/Ives/Yves
[name_m]Jonas[/name_m]
Jules/Julius/Julian
Raife/Raffe (or another [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] alt?)
[name_f]Sennen[/name_f]
[name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m]
[name_m]Simeon[/name_m]

Thanks for your current and past help! I have always loved the creativity and thoughtfulness here! Hoping for any and all input!

[name_m]Stellan[/name_m] [name_m]Meir[/name_m] grabs me! Works great in sibset too and w last name!
[name_m]Asa[/name_m] and [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m] are two names I like as well.
I’m a HUGE [name_m]Ives[/name_m] and [name_m]Ames[/name_m] fan so those pull at me. They’re both on my personal top 50 for over 20 years now. It’s a list I’ve been making since I was nine and editing a few times a year. GREAT names.

Congratulations! Your kiddos have gorgeous names, and I love so many of the names you’re currently considering! [name_m]Jude[/name_m] [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m], [name_m]Asa[/name_m] [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m], [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m] [name_m]Merce[/name_m] (Percy is such a fun nn for [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m]! I love it), etc. are gorgeous especially. I like the idea of [name_m]Lucian[/name_m] in your sibset except it just feels a bit too matchy with [name_m]Florian[/name_m], for me. I love the idea of using [name_m]Mael[/name_m] with a different name, though!

I also love [name_m]Amias[/name_m], [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m], [name_m]Jonas[/name_m], [name_m]Rafe[/name_m], [name_m]Simeon[/name_m], and [name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m] with your kiddos, too. (Amias [name_m]Mael[/name_m] or [name_m]Simeon[/name_m] [name_m]Mael[/name_m] would be so dreamy!)
