Our US-based family includes five older children–Catherine Amelia (Kate), Henry Eli (Henry), Theodore James (Teddy), Margaret Emmeline (Maggie) and Jack Arthur (Jack)–as well as a baby girl, Lillian Rosalie (Lilly), who we lost about halfway through the pregnancy last year. Now we’re expecting a baby boy.
Top name contenders include George, August, Benjamin and Alfred (Alfie). We also like Thomas and Miles but sort of like the idea of each child having a different initial, and we already have an M and a T. What are your thoughts/recommendations on the names I’ve mentioned? Do you have any other suggestions you’d like to add?
I like August called Gus. Auggie feels a bit too close to Maggie for me. Gus, Kate, Jack, Maggie, Henry, Teddy. A very nicely balanced set. Ditto Benjamin called Ben if you want something that will spin the vibe a bit more classic if that makes sense
Firstly you have a gorgeously named tribe and I’m really sorry about the loss of [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] I’m hoping that with the birth of your rainbow baby this will be provide you further peace and healing power
Congratulations on your son
From your contenders my favourites are [name_u]Benjamin[/name_u] & [name_u]August[/name_u]. From the two [name_u]Benjamin[/name_u] shines brighter I’ve always had a soft spot for [name_u]Benjamin[/name_u] he’s so classic. I also absolutely love the nickname [name_m]Benji[/name_m]. I also think [name_u]Benjamin[/name_u] fits in perfectly within your family. I actually love the idea of [name_u]Benjamin[/name_u] [name_u]August[/name_u] overall such a handsome name that feels wholesome very endearing. I know that [name_u]August[/name_u] of course shares the same initial as Kates middle name but I do not think this is a massive concern. Middles names aren’t used regularly.
I liked the idea of using as a middle name for [name_u]Benjamin[/name_u] something inspired by the concept of him being this rainbow baby here are some ideas
[name_m]Saul[/name_m] ~ meaning prayed for ~ [name_u]Benjamin[/name_u] [name_m]Saul[/name_m]
[name_u]Asher[/name_u] ~ meaning fortunate ~ [name_u]Benjamin[/name_u] [name_u]Asher[/name_u]
[name_m]Aaron[/name_m] ~ meaning miraculous ~ [name_u]Benjamin[/name_u] [name_m]Aaron[/name_m]
[name_m]Isaac[/name_m] ~ meaning laugher; [name_f]Joy[/name_f] ~ [name_u]Benjamin[/name_u] [name_m]Isaac[/name_m]
[name_m]Felix[/name_m] ~ meaning happy ~ [name_u]Benjamin[/name_u] [name_m]Felix[/name_m]
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m] ~ meaning champion warrior ~ [name_u]Benjamin[/name_u] [name_m]Oscar[/name_m]
[name_m]Walken[/name_m] ~ meaning rainbow ~ [name_u]Benjamin[/name_u] [name_m]Walken[/name_m]
[name_m]Ralph[/name_m] ~ meaning G-d has healed ~ [name_u]Benjamin[/name_u] [name_m]Ralph[/name_m]
Moving away from middle names for my beloved [name_u]Benjamin[/name_u] and into other suggestions please count any repeats as me being in agreement with the berries
I adore your children’s names! What a gorgeous bunch. I think that [name_u]George[/name_u] would be absolutely perfect for number 7. So sweet, love that it’s a bit on the shorter side to round out the many long names, and gosh, [name_u]George[/name_u] is just so lovely. Warm and soft, comfortable and familiar, with such a vintage charm like big siblings’ names have! Super super beautiful. X
I love your style and I love [name_u]Benjamin[/name_u] from your list! [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] would be my runner-up!
Other suggestions not on your list:
[name_u]Noah[/name_u]
[name_u]Callum[/name_u]
[name_u]Carter[/name_u]
[name_u]Brooks[/name_u]

[name_u]Finn[/name_u]
[name_m]Alexander[/name_m]
[name_u]William[/name_u]
[name_m]Samuel[/name_m]
[name_u]Jude[/name_u]
-I also love [name_m]Tobias[/name_m], [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] & [name_u]Maxwell[/name_u] for you but they are repeated initials
Well, I love all of the names of your other kids! They are all so precious!
Of the names you have, I really like [name_u]August[/name_u] because it fits in so well with the other kids names. I also love [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] because you seem to like the nicknames and there are plenty of options for [name_m]Thomas[/name_m].
Other names you might like are [name_u]Noah[/name_u], [name_u]William[/name_u] (Will), [name_u]Jameson[/name_u] (Could just name him [name_u]James[/name_u], too, or use [name_u]James[/name_u] as a nickname), and [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] (Sam, Sammy).
