[name_m]Hi[/name_m]! We are expecting baby #4 and need some suggestions for names that go with our other kids. You all helped us name baby #3 so I wanted to come back! We are not sure if we will find out the gender so need both boy and girl suggestions. We are pretty decided that we are going to use [name_m]Grant[/name_m] (family name) as the middle name regardless if it is a boy or girl.
Our other kids names are:
Our last name is one syllable.
Thanks in advance!

Have you thought about using [name_m]Grant[/name_m] as a first name? I think it goes nicely with your other children’s names.
Heres some suggestions:
[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m]
I love the names you already have!
For girls, you seem to like cool and feminine name-merge type ideas (“Mary and Elle” and “Lily and Anne”) with soft sounds, so I’ll try suggesting these:
Roseline
For boys, the names you have are strong, with a lot of consonants so names that are jumping out for me here are:
[name_u]Bentley[/name_u]
I might be way off, but I hope you like some!

Congratulations!
Firstly I love your children’s names
Anyways you’ve had a few suggestions so count any repeats as me being in agreement with the berries
[name_u]Brooks[/name_u], [name_f]Marielle[/name_f], [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] and…
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_m]Grant[/name_m]
[name_u]Onyx[/name_u] [name_m]Grant[/name_m]
Good luck
[name_u]Brooks[/name_u], [name_f]Marielle[/name_f], [name_f]Lillian[/name_f], and…
[name_f]Adeline[/name_f] [name_m]Grant[/name_m]
[name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Grant[/name_m]
I really like your kid’s names!
[name_f]Briony[/name_f]
[name_m]Darius[/name_m]
[name_u]Brooks[/name_u], [name_f]Marielle[/name_f], [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] and…
[name_f]Paloma[/name_f]
[name_u]Brooks[/name_u] [name_m]Christopher[/name_m]
For girls to continue your double “L” theme…
[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] [name_m]Grant[/name_m]
For boys, I’m looking at nature names
[name_u]Briar[/name_u] [name_m]Grant[/name_m]
Congratulations on your 4th!
Girl: Colette, Luciana, Madeline, Rosalie, Abigail,
Boy: Carter, Beau, Hudson, Daniel, Joshua, Crusoe
[name_u]Brooks[/name_u], [name_f]Marielle[/name_f], [name_f]Lillian[/name_f], and…
Girls:
Boys:
[name_f]My[/name_f] top choices for you would be [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f] or [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] for a girl, [name_u]Alden[/name_u] or [name_u]Levi[/name_u] for a boy.
Bumping this post for more suggestions from you all. We are weeks away and we did find out this time that baby is a boy!
Again, we would like to use [name_m]Grant[/name_m] as it is a family name and are good with using it as a first or middle.
[name_f]My[/name_f] husband likes [name_u]James[/name_u] but our last name is one syllable and I feel like 3 one syllable names doesn’t flow well.
I like [name_u]Beckham[/name_u] but he isn’t sold on it.
Please help!

I remember when you were name searching for your youngest daughter. It’s nice to see you here again.
[name_u]James[/name_u] [name_m]Grant[/name_m] sounds fabulous. The long vowel sound in [name_u]James[/name_u] lengthens the sound so it’s much easier to pair with one syllable names. [name_u]James[/name_u] [name_m]Grant[/name_m] [surname] might not have quite the same ring to it but it won’t be often that you use all three names at once so I’d suggest focusing on whether you’re happy with the sound of [name_u]James[/name_u] [surname]. I also think using a family name is the best reason to forgo smaller details like flow.
It sounds like [name_u]Beckham[/name_u] is out. Last time, [name_u]Sterling[/name_u], [name_u]Jameson[/name_u], McCarthy, [name_u]River[/name_u] and [name_u]Beckett[/name_u] were also on your list. I’m assuming you’ve already considered them, but I see that [name_u]Jameson[/name_u] offers a good alternative if you can’t get behind [name_u]James[/name_u]. [name_u]Sterling[/name_u] still stands out for me. It sounds so charming with his siblings.
Similar to [name_u]Sterling[/name_u] is [name_m]Irving[/name_m], [name_m]Ernest[/name_m], [name_m]Fergus[/name_m] and [name_u]Stanley[/name_u]. [name_u]Jameson[/name_u] gets me to [name_m]Jeremy[/name_m], [name_m]Samson[/name_m], [name_m]Judson[/name_m], [name_m]Eamon[/name_m] and [name_m]Tennyson[/name_m]. McCarthy reminds me of [name_m]Martin[/name_m], [name_m]Marcus[/name_m], [name_m]Harvey[/name_m] and [name_m]Cormac[/name_m].
[name_u]River[/name_u] makes me think of [name_u]Everett[/name_u]. It was suggested previously but I think it’s worth another look. [name_u]Rhett[/name_u] would also be great if you can overlook the one syllable flow. Perhaps [name_u]Reeve[/name_u] or [name_u]Reid[/name_u] which have long vowel sounds.
[name_u]Beckett[/name_u] and [name_u]Beckham[/name_u] lead me to [name_m]Graham[/name_m] although that might be too much alliteration for you. I quite like it myself. I also think of [name_m]Abram[/name_m] and [name_m]Jethro[/name_m]. I’d also like to throw out there [name_m]Heath[/name_m], [name_u]Chase[/name_u], [name_u]Dustin[/name_u] and [name_m]Phineas[/name_m].

Congratulations!!
I love your children names! They work so cohesively but yet and strong and independent , recognizable and have great nicknames !
I feel like the names you already have for your kids have 2 slight themes- double letter and some sort of relation to water
So I will suggest
[name_m]Wells[/name_m] [name_m]Grant[/name_m]
[name_f]Tallulah[/name_f] [name_m]Grant[/name_m]

[name_u]Brooks[/name_u] is one syllable, so [name_u]James[/name_u] isn’t out of place in that way. I typically air on the side that meaning trumps flow.
I may be way off, but here’s some other ideas:
Bro0ks Chri$topher, [name_f]Marielle[/name_f] Ad@lyn, Lilli@n Brigg# and….
[name_u]Carter[/name_u] [name_m]Grant[/name_m]
Good luck with your decision !!
I really like the above suggestion of [name_u]Bellamy[/name_u] [name_m]Grant[/name_m]!
