Naming baby #5

We need a name for our little boy arriving in [name_u]August[/name_u]. Names considered so far:

[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]
[name_m]Alexander[/name_m]
[name_m]Joseph[/name_m]
[name_m]Maxwell[/name_m]

Middle name will be [name_u]Lee[/name_u], after hubby’s middle name. Our last name starts with P and is one syllable.

[name_u]Baby[/name_u]'s siblings are [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_u]Rohan[/name_u] ([name_u]Ollie[/name_u]), [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] ([name_f]Lily[/name_f]), [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Kathryn[/name_f] and [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] ([name_u]Harri[/name_u]). [name_f]Lily[/name_f] and [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] are twins.

Thoughts on what you think works best with our subset or suggestions please :slight_smile:

I would describe your style as ‘British’. I love your children’s names! For [name_m]Oliver[/name_m], [name_f]Lillian[/name_f], [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and [name_f]Harriet[/name_f]'s little brother, I would consider:
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m] [name_u]Lee[/name_u]
[name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]Lee[/name_u] (think this would be great as he is due in [name_u]August[/name_u]!)
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m] [name_u]Lee[/name_u]
[name_m]George[/name_m] [name_u]Lee[/name_u]
[name_m]Edmund[/name_m] [name_u]Lee[/name_u]
[name_m]Barnaby[/name_m] [name_u]Lee[/name_u]
[name_m]Julian[/name_m] [name_u]Lee[/name_u]
[name_u]Tristan[/name_u] [name_u]Lee[/name_u]
[name_m]Xavier[/name_m] [name_u]Lee[/name_u]
[name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_u]Lee[/name_u]
[name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] [name_u]Lee[/name_u]

While [name_f]Lily[/name_f] and [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] are somewhat trendy right now, they’re still very British/vintage. All your children’s names are so lovely. Out of your choices, I prefer [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] or [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m]. [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] is a little too… traditional but in a boring/overused way. [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] is [name_m]WAY[/name_m] [name_m]WAY[/name_m] too popular/trendy right now.

Other ideas:
[name_m]Edward[/name_m] [name_u]Lee[/name_u] (nn’s [name_u]Teddy[/name_u], [name_m]Ted[/name_m], [name_m]Ned[/name_m] instead of traditional [name_m]Ed[/name_m]/[name_m]Eddie[/name_m])
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_u]Lee[/name_u]
[name_m]Philip[/name_m] [name_u]Lee[/name_u]
[name_m]Isaac[/name_m] [name_u]Lee[/name_u]
[name_m]Simon[/name_m] [name_u]Lee[/name_u]
[name_m]William[/name_m] [name_u]Lee[/name_u]
[name_u]Everett[/name_u] [name_u]Lee[/name_u]
[name_u]Elliot[/name_u] [name_u]Lee[/name_u]
[name_m]Calvin[/name_m] [name_u]Lee[/name_u]
[name_m]Callum[/name_m] [name_u]Lee[/name_u]
[name_m]Colin[/name_m] [name_u]Lee[/name_u]

I think [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] would be just perfect with [name_m]Oliver[/name_m], [name_f]Lillian[/name_f], [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and [name_f]Harriet[/name_f]. I also love the suggestions of [name_u]August[/name_u], [name_m]Felix[/name_m], [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], [name_m]Jasper[/name_m], [name_m]Barnaby[/name_m] and [name_m]Simon[/name_m].

I am loving [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] with your sib set! I’ve always told myself that if I had 5 kids, and the 5th one was a boy, I would name him [name_m]Quentin[/name_m], literally meaning “fifth”. [name_m]Quentin[/name_m] [name_u]Lee[/name_u] is super cute, too, but maybe not a slam dunk with your sib set.

I agree! [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] is my favorite followed by [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] and [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] would be my least favorite off of your list. Your children’s names are beautiful. Good luck!

Because I’m a stickler for each kid getting their own first and last letter, I’d nix [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] since you have an [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] and [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] since you have a [name_f]Lillian[/name_f]. Unfortunately, [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] seems a bit too dated and Biblical for this sibset, and [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] too stodgy and surname-y. Since [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] goes by [name_f]Lily[/name_f], I’ll reverse my decision on [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] - it’s your top contender.

I like [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] and [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m]. [name_f]May[/name_f] be partial to [name_u]Max[/name_u] because it is my brother’s name. But [name_u]Max[/name_u] would be great as a brother to [name_u]Ollie[/name_u].

[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]! It sounds amazing with your other children’s names.

Congratulations!

[name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] and [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] are the best fit.
