Firstly good luck with your TTC journey :crossed_fingers:t4::crossed_fingers:t4:

[name_f]My[/name_f] favourites are

[name_m]Caspian[/name_m] ~ outdoorsy, romantic, dreamy and has lovely connotations with the sea. I like that she’s a nature name matching well with [name_u]Raven[/name_u] and has the same whimsical energy of [name_m]Benton[/name_m] & [name_f]Arwen[/name_f].

[name_m]Isaac[/name_m] ~ a gorgeous biblical name that feels outdoorsy charming and has a relaxed laid back energy. I love how happy [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] sounds with the meaning ‘laughter’ adding to the overall happiness. I think [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] is gorgeous with the siblings as well.

[name_u]Jasper[/name_u] ~ a lovely romantic option that feels dreamy, ethereal and whimsical. I adore the meaning ‘bringer of treasure’ it’s such a gorgeous meaning! [name_u]Jasper[/name_u] is just fabulous.

[name_m]Felix[/name_m] ~ fun, spunky, classic, quirky and has the cool x ending. [name_m]Felix[/name_m] is a great name! I love the meaning ‘happiness’ as well.

[name_m]Magnus[/name_m] ~ I think [name_m]Magnus[/name_m] is gorgeous I love how striking he is, very bold and cool a great European name and the meaning greatest is lovely. [name_m]Benton[/name_m], [name_f]Arwen[/name_f], [name_u]Raven[/name_u] & [name_m]Magnus[/name_m] sound gorgeous.

[name_f]My[/name_f] least favourites are

[name_m]Ender[/name_m] ~ for me this name just feels a bit blunt and too sharp. Also in [name_u]Britain[/name_u] there is a show called Eastenders which is shortened to Enders so I immediately thought of that. Prefer [name_m]Evander[/name_m] or [name_u]Leander[/name_u].

[name_m]Thorin[/name_m] ~ personally I’m just not keen on this name I agree with @Greyblue I hear ‘thawing’

[name_u]Noble[/name_u] ~ a little too descriptive with your surname

Suggestions:

[name_m]Gideon[/name_m]
[name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m]
[name_m]Dashiell[/name_m]
[name_m]Calix[/name_m]
[name_u]Peregrine[/name_u]
[name_u]Sonny[/name_u]
[name_u]Emrys[/name_u]
[name_u]Lowell[/name_u]

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps

Least favourite for you: [name_m]Caius[/name_m] & [name_m]Magnus[/name_m] as I’m not sure they go well with your last name? [name_f]Do[/name_f] they sound too similar or rhyme? With [name_m]Silas[/name_m], I think that’s a lot of S sounds in a first and last name. [name_u]Noble[/name_u] unfortunately runs into the last name making nobleman.

Favourites for you: [name_m]Gibson[/name_m] - I think it goes well with the range of styles your children have in their names. [name_u]Everett[/name_u] is distinctive and yet feels right at home with the siblings.

I spent some time at the breakfast table with your list :smile:
Some thoughts on sounds: so if your surname begins with M and ends with S, I would personally have reservations about using names that end with M (because they will blend into the surname when they’re said together, a pet peeve of mine–so, [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m], [name_m]Ransom[/name_m], Willem) and, to maybe a lesser degree, names that end in S, especially 2-syllable ones (because they can sound rhymey–so, [name_m]Magnus[/name_m], [name_m]Caius[/name_m], [name_m]Silas[/name_m], possibly [name_m]Felix[/name_m] and Phoenix.)

None of that matters hugely if it’s The Name, it just might help in narrowing the list down.

-Er ending names sound good, -n endings are fine.

[name_f]My[/name_f] favorites:
[name_m]Gibson[/name_m] (like [name_m]Benton[/name_m], familiar but unusual. Sounds great in the set. Having grown up reading [name_f]Marguerite[/name_f] Henry’s horse stories, I think of [name_m]Gibson[/name_m] White, owner of the trotter Rosalind.)
[name_m]Thorin[/name_m] (I like the [name_m]Tolkien[/name_m] connection and the sound in the set. Mayyybe a tad too dwarvish for me personally?)
[name_m]Caspian[/name_m] (just lovely here, [name_m]Lewis[/name_m] connection and all)
[name_m]Isaac[/name_m] (such a happy name, seems appropriate in your situation, pleasantly unexpected here)
[name_m]Luther[/name_m] (well matched with Benton; hopefully you don’t mind [name_m]Martin[/name_m] Luther)
[name_m]Ransom[/name_m] (just had to put it here since it’s one of the BEST NAMES, though I have reservations about the M)
[name_m]Silas[/name_m] and [name_m]Caius[/name_m], also personal faves though maybe not the best with your surname

[name_f]My[/name_f] least favorites:
[name_m]Ender[/name_m] (sounds good with your surname; I’m not sure about having an [name_m]Ender[/name_m] if you don’t intend him to be your youngest. A bit literal for me.)
[name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] (so trendy these days)
[name_u]Daniel[/name_u] (ok, I like [name_u]Daniel[/name_u]. Absolutely solid choice. I just know SO MANY.)
[name_u]Everett[/name_u] (actually sounds good in your set, with your name, I’ve just never cared for it–sends self home from Nameberry in disgrace)
[name_u]Dean[/name_u] (also fine for you, I just don’t love it)

A few suggestions:
[name_m]Theoden[/name_m] (surely you’ve considered it? I might like it better than Thorin–oh but you were avoiding the long A sound, weren’t you?)
[name_m]Tobias[/name_m] (might as well suggest my other son’s name :smile:)
Eomer (see Theoden)
[name_m]Eamon[/name_m] (see Theoden)
[name_u]Rohan[/name_u], [name_m]Roman[/name_m], [name_m]Ronan[/name_m] (though I seem to remember you didn’t want to repeat initials?)
[name_m]Seamus[/name_m] (again with the long A. I love it though)

Some of my personal favorite names for a boys are pretty classic. I love [name_m]Joshua[/name_m], but hate the nickname [name_m]Josh[/name_m]. I like [name_u]Robbie[/name_u], a Charecter from my
[name_m]Favorite[/name_m] book. [name_u]Finn[/name_u] (maybe) , [name_u]Sage[/name_u], [name_u]Joseph[/name_u] and [name_u]Corrie[/name_u]. I also like the name [name_m]Huck[/name_m], from the Adventures of [name_m]Huckleberry[/name_m] [name_u]Finn[/name_u].
