I need some help with my boys list!

Hello!

I thought I had a good list ready for this baby. I even did a poll here and had 4 names chosen. But a few things have come up and now 2 of our listed names are not usable (well, in my opinion). I want to have a few options ready for this baby.

I still really love [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], and its our top choice. But I have wanted to use this name before and it didn’t feel right at the time, so I definitely want to have some others in mind too.

This is our fourth baby, and it’s getting harder to find names that work well with the others. Our others are [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m], [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] and [name_f]Harriet[/name_f]. The middle will be either [name_m]Edward[/name_m] or [name_u]Marion[/name_u] for my gradmother (who was [name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_u]Marion[/name_u]).

I still love [name_m]Amos[/name_m], but my husband isn’t fully sold.

I still like the idea of doing her initials [name_f]EM[/name_f]. I love [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] [name_m]Miles[/name_m] but my husband isn’t sure if it matches the other kids names.

Does anyone have any suggestions? There are lots we love but don’t seem to quite fit.

Thanks!

I think [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] [name_m]Miles[/name_m] is pretty perfect with your other kids’ names! [name_m]How[/name_m] about:

[name_u]Elliot[/name_u]
[name_m]George[/name_m]
[name_m]Henry[/name_m]
[name_m]Bennett[/name_m]
[name_m]Miles[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]

I think [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] [name_m]Miles[/name_m] would be a great fit! Also, [name_m]Oscar[/name_m], Ashford, [name_m]Liam[/name_m], [name_m]Clive[/name_m], [name_m]Rupert[/name_m], or [name_m]Dashiell[/name_m].

Any other suggestions or opinions on [name_m]Ezra[/name_m]?

Right now we’ve got:

[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_u]Marion[/name_u]
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] [name_m]Miles[/name_m] (for grandmother’s initials [name_f]EM[/name_f])

Oh I just [name_f]ADORE[/name_f] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] :slight_smile: [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m] is so handsome! I’m not a fan of [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] and don’t think it “fits” with your sibset. [name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Miles[/name_m]? Or [name_m]Edward[/name_m] [name_m]Miles[/name_m]? Have you considered two mn’s to get the [name_f]EM[/name_f] in there? [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m] [name_m]Miles[/name_m] is so lovely!

I like [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] [name_m]Miles[/name_m] but I’m thinking it’s a bit too Biblical with [name_m]Oliver[/name_m], [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] and [name_f]Harriet[/name_f]. Their names have a British vibe to me! :slight_smile: I like [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] much better with the three other children.

The first name I thought of with your sib set is [name_m]Abraham[/name_m]. [name_m]Abraham[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m] is nice.
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] is not really my style, and it’s not my favorite in your sib set either.
I love [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], it is always on my list and always shot down by DH.

What about [name_m]Quentin[/name_m]? [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m], [name_m]Oliver[/name_m], [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] and [name_m]Quentin[/name_m]

Thanks everyone for the great suggestions. We are having a hard time finding another boy name that we love the way we love our boys names. AND that matches the feel of the others too! We are doing pretty well with our girls list though:)

We don’t want to use names that we have associations with friends and family, so that also rules out lots of great names: [name_m]Henry[/name_m], [name_m]Oscar[/name_m], [name_m]Felix[/name_m], [name_m]Edward[/name_m] (for first name), [name_m]Graham[/name_m], [name_m]Julian[/name_m], [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] (too close to [name_m]Oliver[/name_m]?), [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] (too close to [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] for us), [name_m]George[/name_m], [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m], [name_m]Frederick[/name_m], [name_m]Jasper[/name_m]

Our current names:
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]/[name_u]Marion[/name_u]
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] [name_m]Miles[/name_m]
[name_m]Quentin[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]-- a new one but we both love it

Some other new ideas:

[name_m]Ernest[/name_m] [name_m]Miles[/name_m]/ [name_m]Milo[/name_m]
[name_m]Winston[/name_m]
[name_m]Truman[/name_m]
[name_u]Quincy[/name_u]
[name_m]Gilbert[/name_m]

[name_m]Otis[/name_m]
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m]

What do you think of [name_m]Quentin[/name_m] with the others? What do you think of our other ideas?

Thanks again-- I really appreciate all the feedback
