Names for future baby #4

I already posted in the girl names forum, so here is my boy list! Not pregnant, but thinking ahead for a possible fourth baby and sibling for Violet, Hugo and Darcy! Our list so far:

Edward - probably my husband’s favourite. He likes Eddie for a nickname, I prefer Ned.
Flynn - too stylistically different? I like it a lot though.
Frederick - has been top of my list for ages. Hubby isn’t keen.
Louis - Darcy’s almost name. Louis was frontrunner for most of my third pregnancy.
Rupert - I love this. Not sure I could get my husband on board.
Sebastian - hubby likes. I like it, but it’s not my favourite.

Baby will have two middles same as our other kids. Theirs are:

Violet Elizabeth Rose
Hugo Alexander John
Darcy Samuel James

Middle name options:

August - August is a meaningful month for us
Barnaby
Frederick
Flynn
George
Louis
Oliver
Roy - my grandfather’s name
Sebastian
Theodore
William - my grandfather’s middle name

Any ideas gratefully received!

I actually really like [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] with your set! It shares the quirkiness of [name_m]Hugo[/name_m], but it’s also a surname like [name_u]Darcy[/name_u]. [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]Roy[/name_u] or [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] [name_m]Barnaby[/name_m] [name_u]George[/name_u] sound nice to me.

Other names that came to mind:
[name_u]Jasper[/name_u]
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m]
[name_u]Everett[/name_u]
[name_u]Grady[/name_u]
[name_u]Emmett[/name_u]
[name_u]Forest[/name_u]
[name_u]Maxwell[/name_u]
[name_u]Ellis[/name_u]
[name_u]Tristan[/name_u]
[name_u]Elliott[/name_u]

[name_m]Rupert[/name_m], [name_u]Edward[/name_u], and [name_m]Louis[/name_m] are great!

[name_m]Rupert[/name_m] [name_u]William[/name_u] [name_u]August[/name_u]
[name_u]Edward[/name_u] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m]
[name_m]Louis[/name_m] [name_u]Oliver[/name_u] [name_u]August[/name_u]

A couple of suggestions:

[name_u]Franklin[/name_u] “Flynn”
[name_m]Edwin[/name_m]
Toby/Tobias
[name_u]Percy[/name_u]
[name_u]Maxwell[/name_u]
[name_m]Cedric[/name_m]
[name_m]Felix[/name_m]
[name_m]Isaac[/name_m]
[name_u]Jonah[/name_u]

first of all, your children have beautiful names! :sparkles:

from your list, I love barnaby, oliver, theodore, william and rupert. they are all handsome names.

as regards flynn, it’s sweet but I prefer finn. also, edmund is cool, but I’m in love with ned as a name itself.

based on these preferences, I’ve created some combos for you:

finn edward oliver
finn oliver theodore
finn william roy
ned barnaby flynn
ned william theodore
ned sebastian rupert
rupert roy william
rupert george theodore
rupert barnaby louis
louis august theodore

a few of my favourite names - otis, theo, archie, liam and teddy - have the same imagery that your names reflect so what about:

archie oliver george
liam frederick george
otis theodore flynn
teddy william august
theo barnaby roy

i hope you’ll like my suggestions! :teddy_bear:

I like every name on your list but my absolute favourites are Sebastian, Flynn (I actually think this works well with your children’s names, even if it is a bit different stylistically) and Louis. Sebastian would get my vote but you don’t seem to love it so for that reason I think Louis is your best option. It’s just such a great name and it fits so perfectly stylistically.

Although I think the ever so regal Edward and Frederick would complement your children’s names wonderfully too, perhaps even more so now that I think about it - they have different endings to Violet, Hugo and Darcy whereas as Louis has the same -ee ending sound as Darcy - not that that’s a big deal.

Louis August Flynn
Louis Sebastian Oliver
Louis Frederick William

Flynn Theodore Louis
Flynn Sebastian George
Flynn Barnaby August

Edward Oliver George
Edward Sebastian Flynn
Edward Louis Frederick

Frederick William Flynn
Frederick Theodore Oliver
Frederick Louis George

Some other names I think would go nicely with Violet, Hugo and Darcy:

Otis
Angus
Bastian
Soren
Roman
Caspar
Felix
Atticus
Otto
Miles
Lucian
Winston
Marlowe
Amias
Magnus
Jasper
Kit
Leopold
Jude
Maximilian
Orson
Elio
Phineas
Axel
Rafferty
Quinn
Milo
Caspian
Oskar

Good luck!

[name_f]My[/name_f] favorites are [name_u]Edward[/name_u] (prefer nn Ward) and [name_m]Rupert[/name_m]. I also love [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] but it feels a bit long next to [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] and [name_u]Darcy[/name_u].

[name_u]Edward[/name_u] [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]Roy[/name_u]
[name_u]Edward[/name_u] [name_m]Barnaby[/name_m] [name_u]George[/name_u]

[name_m]Rupert[/name_m] [name_m]Barnaby[/name_m] [name_u]Flynn[/name_u]
[name_m]Rupert[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m]

Other options:
[name_m]Samson[/name_m]
[name_m]Samuel[/name_m]
[name_u]Percy[/name_u]
[name_m]Ulysses[/name_m]
[name_m]Abner[/name_m]
[name_m]Abel[/name_m]
[name_m]Victor[/name_m]
[name_m]Benedict[/name_m]
[name_u]Lionel[/name_u]
[name_m]Winston[/name_m]

I replied to your post for a name for a sister. I think you have such a fabulous sibset!

If not [name_u]Edward[/name_u] what about Edgar!! It takes a moment to warm up to but I absolutely adore [name_m]Edgar[/name_m] and you’d get the nickname options of [name_u]Eddie[/name_u] and [name_m]Ned[/name_m].

If not [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] or [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] How about Franklin?! [name_u]Franklin[/name_u] could be nicknamed [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] or [name_u]Finn[/name_u].

[name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_m]Hugo[/name_m], [name_u]Darcy[/name_u], and [name_m]Edgar[/name_m]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_m]Hugo[/name_m], [name_u]Darcy[/name_u], and [name_u]Franklin[/name_u]

Other suggestions:

[name_u]Ira[/name_u]
[name_m]Conrad[/name_m]
[name_u]Judah[/name_u]
[name_m]Willis[/name_m]

Full name ideas:

[name_m]Edgar[/name_m] [name_u]Roy[/name_u] [name_u]William[/name_u]
[name_u]Franklin[/name_u] [name_u]Lou[/name_u] [name_m]Barnaby[/name_m]
[name_u]Ira[/name_u] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_u]Roy[/name_u]
[name_m]Conrad[/name_m] [name_u]George[/name_u] [name_u]August[/name_u]
[name_u]Judah[/name_u] [name_u]George[/name_u] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]
[name_m]Willis[/name_m] [name_u]Oliver[/name_u] [name_u]Flynn[/name_u]

[name_m]Rupert[/name_m] would be literal perfection with [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_m]Hugo[/name_m], and [name_u]Darcy[/name_u] (fingers crossed you can get DH on board lol.)

I also think [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] totally works and isn’t to stylistically different at all!

[name_u]Edward[/name_u] is a great name though so if he isn’t really feeling this others and you both like it, then it’s an excellent choice. I also adore the suggestion of [name_m]Edgar[/name_m] here.

With all of the above I love [name_m]Barnaby[/name_m] as a potential middle. :sparkling_heart:
[name_u]Flynn[/name_u] [name_u]August[/name_u] would also be really nice.

Thoroughly lovely sibling set!

[name_f]May[/name_f] I suggest:

[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]

[name_m]Hugo[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_u]John[/name_u]

[name_u]Darcy[/name_u] [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]

… {and} …

[name_u]Flynn[/name_u] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_u]William[/name_u]

[name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_u]William[/name_u] [name_u]George[/name_u]

[name_m]Louis[/name_m] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_u]George[/name_u]

[name_m]Rupert[/name_m] [name_u]William[/name_u] [name_u]George[/name_u]

{any combination of [name_m]Frederick[/name_m], [name_u]George[/name_u], [name_m]Louis[/name_m], [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] and/or [name_u]William[/name_u] in the middle}

[name_u]Edward[/name_u] is so classic and would fit in well with your older children’s names. Plus, I think you and your husband could both use your preferred nicknames if you wanted to.

I don’t think [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] is too mismatched, honestly. It has the same dashing vibe as [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] and [name_u]Darcy[/name_u], so I could see them as brothers. :slight_smile:

[name_u]Edward[/name_u] [name_u]Oliver[/name_u] [name_u]George[/name_u]
[name_u]Edward[/name_u] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_u]Flynn[/name_u]
[name_u]Edward[/name_u] [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]Roy[/name_u]
[name_u]Flynn[/name_u] [name_u]William[/name_u] [name_u]George[/name_u]
[name_u]Flynn[/name_u] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_u]Roy[/name_u]
[name_u]Flynn[/name_u] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_u]Roy[/name_u]
