Help with name for baby #5

In desperate need of help with a name for baby due at the end of January.

My wife will be 36 weeks on Monday and we still have no clue what to name baby #5, we are wanting to avoid using another M name. We do gender creative parenting and the sex does not influence the name, so feel free to suggest feminine, masculine, or gender neutral names.

Older siblings are:
Mason Delilah (Maisie/Mack)
Lilith Georgia (Lily)
Marceline Rose (Sonny/Marcy)
Darcy Thomas Jr. (Daisy)

Our oldest 3 were adopted so we didn’t name them

Names we’ve thought about:
Ellison
Calloway
Juniper
Everett
Violet
Winslow
Santana
Graham
Bronwyn
Sullivan

Middle name will be William-Joy or William-Meredith.

Thanks for the help!

From your list:
I’ve always liked [name_u]Winslow[/name_u] (nn [name_u]Win[/name_u] or Winnie) as a gender-neutral name.
[name_u]Everett[/name_u] and [name_u]Ellison[/name_u] could also work well.

Some more ideas that might fit your style:
[name_u]Finley[/name_u]
[name_u]Robin[/name_u]
[name_u]Emerson[/name_u]
[name_u]Linden[/name_u]
[name_u]Hollis[/name_u]
[name_u]Larkin[/name_u]
[name_u]Arden[/name_u]
[name_u]Merritt[/name_u]

As for the middle name, I think William-Joy is going to work better than William-Meredith because in the second name, the two m’s kind of run into each other.

Good luck finding a great name for your baby!

Those are some good suggestions, thank you

I’ve never heard of gender creative parenting but I’m definitely going to look that up now because that sounds extremely cool!

From your list I think [name_u]Ellison[/name_u], [name_u]Calloway[/name_u], [name_u]Juniper[/name_u], [name_u]Winslow[/name_u], and [name_u]Sullivan[/name_u] fit really nicely. they all seem to fit the same vibe as their siblings.

Some suggestions…
[name_u]Quincey[/name_u]
[name_u]Josie[/name_u]
[name_u]Elliot[/name_u]
[name_m]Hawthorne[/name_m]
[name_u]Remington[/name_u]
[name_f]Xena[/name_f]
[name_u]Ocean[/name_u]

There are different ways to do gender creative parenting, what we do is not gender any clothes or toys from birth, so for our last son we put him in traditionally feminine clothing from birth as well as masculine clothing, although we did use his biological pronouns from birth (he says he’s a boy so I guess it worked out :sweat_smile:) with this baby we are wanting to go with more they/them pronouns as well as bio pronouns. I’ve always wanted to show my children they can be whatever/whoever they want and this is the best way to do that IMO.

Now that my little “rant” is over :joy: I absolutely love your suggestions, I will definitely be bringing them up with my wife!
