Help with my sibling set!

General Name Discussion

First time posting and I need help! I have 3 DD’s – [name]Juliana[/name], [name]Katrina[/name], [name]Genevieve[/name]. I can come up with a zillion girls’ names for #4 but am stuck on a boy’s first name. As I’m desperately hoping for a boy this time, I’m kind of obsessing until our February ultrasound.

Criteria:

  • At least 3 syllables - middle name is a one-syllable family name
  • Good nickname potential (all 3 girls go by a n/n)
  • No long-I sound (clashes with our last name)
  • Not terribly popular or a rising star

Some I’ve considered: [name]Oliver[/name], [name]Theodore[/name], [name]Elliott[/name]. I also like [name]Calvin[/name] and [name]Ezra[/name] (although they’re only 2 syllables). But so far nothing really grabs me.

Any suggestions?

3 syllable names with cool nn potential…

[name]Nathaniel[/name]… [name]Nate[/name] or [name]Nathan[/name]
[name]Gabriel[/name]… [name]Gabe[/name]
[name]Cameron[/name]… [name]Cam[/name]
[name]Sebastian[/name]
[name]Oliver[/name]… [name]Ollie[/name]
[name]Archibald[/name]… [name]Archer[/name] or [name]Archie[/name]

3

[name]Nicholas[/name] - [name]Nick[/name]
[name]Timothy[/name] - [name]Tim[/name]
I also like [name]Nathaniel[/name]…

Thanks for the suggestions! We actually have nephews [name]Gabe[/name] and [name]Cam[/name] ([name]Camden[/name] – a little too close to [name]Cameron[/name]) and a close family friend named [name]Nathaniel[/name]. So those are off the list. :frowning: And DH nixes [name]Sebastian[/name] every time I mention it. But I love, love, [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Archie[/name]! I’ll have to run that one by him. And [name]Oliver[/name] keeps making it to the short list, too. I prefer [name]Lev[/name] as a nn over [name]Ollie[/name], but I’m not sure that works. I ran across [name]Thaddeus[/name] today, too. ???

Thanks again – I hope there are more suggestions. I am so stuck! I’m finding that there aren’t as many names that meet my criteria as I had once thought.
