Ideas for baby number 3

General Name Discussion
1

I have recently found out I’m expecting baby number 3… my son is called [name_m]Caden[/name_m] my daughter [name_f]Lilac[/name_f]. What names would you suggest go with my sibset? My partner is south American and would quite like a Latin name although it doesn’t have to be… Open to suggestions :slight_smile:

[name_u]Early[/name_u] congratulations! [name_f]Do[/name_f] you know if baby number 3 is a boy or a girl? It might be difficult to find a Latin name that fits well with [name_m]Caden[/name_m] and [name_f]Lilac[/name_f].

There are so many GORGEOUS Latin names, though! Many of these have “Americanized” nickname possibilities, if you want to go that direction. However, they are so beautiful, I don’t think I could use a nickname. Good luck, mama! Here are my favorites:

GIRLS

  1. [name_f]Pilar[/name_f] ([name_f]Lotta[/name_f], [name_f]Lottie[/name_f])
  2. [name_f]Liliana[/name_f] ([name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Lilia[/name_f], [name_f]Ana[/name_f], [name_f]Anna[/name_f])
  3. Magdelena ([name_f]Maggie[/name_f], [name_f]Maddie[/name_f], [name_f]Maisie[/name_f], [name_f]Mae[/name_f])
  4. [name_f]Noemi[/name_f] ([name_f]Amy[/name_f])

BOYS

  1. [name_m]Andres[/name_m] ([name_u]Andy[/name_u], [name_m]Anders[/name_m]: [name_m]How[/name_m] could this child NOT be dashing and handsome?)
  2. [name_m]Cesar[/name_m]
  3. [name_m]Benicio[/name_m] ([name_m]Ben[/name_m], [name_m]Benny[/name_m])
  4. [name_m]Alejandro[/name_m] ([name_u]Alex[/name_u])
3

[name_f]Marisol[/name_f], [name_f]Paloma[/name_f], [name_f]Catalina[/name_f] or [name_f]Catalene[/name_f]

I just realized I misspelled [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f] in my earlier post. So sorry! And good luck, mama! It sounds like you have a beautiful sibset started.

Thanks for replies…
I love [name_f]Liliana[/name_f] but feel its too close to [name_f]Lilac[/name_f].
I like [name_f]Paloma[/name_f] but can’t see myself using it…
I’m liking [name_f]Elodia[/name_f] but not sure with the sibset… I never thought of [name_f]Rosalia[/name_f] (growing on me!)
[name_m]Diego[/name_m] I love but worried about ‘Go [name_m]Diego[/name_m]! GO!’ will people associate it with that show?
[name_m]Dante[/name_m] could be a contender…

My partner is South American, names that were pronounceable by the Abuelas was one of the deciding factors – from my lists –

Girls
[name_f]Ines[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_f]Nora[/name_f]
[name_f]Dahlia[/name_f]
[name_f]Eulalia[/name_f]
[name_f]Perla[/name_f]

Boys
[name_m]Ruben[/name_m] (maybe too close to [name_m]Caden[/name_m])
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m]
