Need advice for my 5th boy's name!!

I’m expecting my 5th boy in [name]April[/name]. I already have a [name]Benjamin[/name], [name]Isaac[/name], [name]Joshua[/name] and [name]Joel[/name].

Here is our list. Please let me know which ones stand out that you like or don’t like. Or any other ideas. Thanks!!!

[name]Cullen[/name]
[name]Jonas[/name]
[name]Julian[/name]
[name]Christian[/name]
[name]Nicholas[/name]
[name]Dane[/name]
[name]Daniel[/name]
[name]Aaron[/name]
[name]Simon[/name]
[name]David[/name]
[name]Oliver[/name]
[name]Jude[/name]
[name]Owen[/name]
[name]Adam[/name]
Killian
Finnian
Desmond

Here are my favorites that I think go well with your sibset. I wouldn’t go with another J name, sometimes that makes the others feel left out or will eventially question if there is a reason they don’t have a J name. Good luck to you.

[name]Nicholas[/name]
[name]David[/name]
[name]Adam[/name]
[name]Dane[/name]
[name]Christian[/name]

thank you!! I agree about the “J” name issue. I already don’t like having 2 that start with “J”, it gets confusing for me and my husband!

I like [name]Aaron[/name], [name]Simon[/name], [name]David[/name], and [name]Daniel[/name]. I feel like with four biblical names, the fifth would feel left out if he didn’t get one, too. What do ou think about [name]Seth[/name]? Or [name]Luke[/name]?

My favorites on your list are [name]Aaron[/name], [name]Adam[/name], and [name]David[/name]. I think they sound best with your other boys’ names.

I agree with previous posters. I’d stay away from J names and gravitate to biblical names. Though I am loving [name]Cullen[/name] it is a bit Twilighty to me - probably only an issue since the last film just came out. But I think it could be a great mn.

[name]Christian[/name] - I love the name but find it a bit on the nose with all the other biblical names.
[name]Daniel[/name] - see [name]David[/name].
[name]Aaron[/name] - I love [name]Aaron[/name]. However it feels a bit more contemporary than [name]Benjamin[/name] or [name]Isaac[/name] to me.
[name]Simon[/name] - I love this with the names of your other boys. This would be one of my top two picks.
[name]David[/name] - I feel like this name would get lost among your other sons names.
[name]Adam[/name] - see [name]David[/name].
[name]Killian[/name] - you might be able to get away with this one on the biblical side even though it doesn’t strictly follow that theme. Would probably be one of my top two picks.

I would stick with Biblical names. You have several great options on your list. Have you considered [name]Levi[/name], [name]Ezra[/name], or [name]Gideon[/name]?

[name]Benjamin[/name], [name]Isaac[/name], [name]Joshua[/name], [name]Joel[/name], and…

[name]Daniel[/name] [name]Oliver[/name]
[name]Aaron[/name] [name]Oliver[/name]
[name]Simon[/name] [name]Oliver[/name]
[name]David[/name] [name]Finnian[/name]
[name]Adam[/name] [name]Oliver[/name]

[name]Oliver[/name] just happened to sound the best with all of these except [name]David[/name] (to me anyway).

I really like [name]Daniel[/name] and [name]Simon[/name] with your boys! [name]Killian[/name], [name]Finnian[/name], and [name]Julian[/name] are super handsome, too. I would love to see [name]Jonas[/name] being used, but I think three “[name]Jo[/name]-” names in a row is a bit much. :frowning: I agree with @southern.maple that [name]Oliver[/name] sounds great with a lot of your options, I really love [name]Daniel[/name] [name]Oliver[/name] and [name]Simon[/name] [name]Oliver[/name].

All the best!

I think something biblical goes best with your brood. [name]Do[/name] you like [name]Ezra[/name]? I would also suggest [name]Jonah[/name] (we have a little [name]Jonah[/name]!).

From your list, I like [name]Jonas[/name], [name]Daniel[/name], [name]Aaron[/name], [name]Oliver[/name] (my other son), [name]Jude[/name], and [name]Owen[/name] with your bunch. Good luck!

[name]Jude[/name] would be perfect if you don’t mind another J name.

[name]Owen[/name], [name]Aaron[/name] and [name]Oliver[/name] seem to fit best.

With [name]Benjamin[/name], [name]Isaac[/name], [name]Joshua[/name] and [name]Joel[/name], I would choose…

[name]Aaron[/name]
[name]Simon[/name]
[name]David[/name]
[name]Adam[/name]

Other Suggestions

[name]Nathaniel[/name]
[name]Noah[/name]
[name]Caleb[/name]
[name]Ethan[/name]
[name]Eli[/name]/[name]Elijah[/name]
[name]Silas[/name]
[name]Isaiah[/name]
[name]Tobias[/name]
[name]Solomon[/name]
[name]Lucas[/name]/[name]Luke[/name]
[name]Seth[/name]
[name]Thomas[/name]
[name]Christopher[/name]
[name]James[/name]
[name]Abram[/name]/[name]Abraham[/name]
[name]Samson[/name]
[name]Micah[/name]
[name]Andrew[/name]

For your sibset, another Biblical name would be perfect. I vote for them in this order:

  1. [name]Aaron[/name] - I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Aaron[/name]!
  2. [name]Adam[/name]
  3. [name]Daniel[/name]
  4. [name]Simon[/name]
  5. [name]David[/name]
  6. [name]Jonas[/name] (This would be my second choice except I think it’s better to skip a J name in this case.)

[name]Oliver[/name] - my favourite by quite a way, with some of the richness of your other boys’ names, if not the same biblical connotations
[name]Jonas[/name] & [name]Jude[/name] - I’d avoid any more Js!
[name]Adam[/name], [name]David[/name], [name]Daniel[/name], [name]Simon[/name] - much plainer than [name]Benjamin[/name], [name]Isaac[/name], [name]Joshua[/name] & [name]Joel[/name]
[name]Killian[/name], [name]Finnigan[/name], [name]Owen[/name], [name]Desmond[/name] - lack the biblical feel
You might consider [name]Noah[/name], [name]Tobias[/name] or [name]Elijah[/name] (though it sneaks in another J!)?

Wow, 5 boys! Good luck!

From your list, I like:

[name]Julian[/name]: [name]One[/name] of my current favorite boy names! I don’t think that it is a problem that you have already used two “J” names.
[name]Nicholas[/name]
[name]Daniel[/name]
[name]Simon[/name]: [name]LOVE[/name]! And it goes great with your other names. I think this is my favorite for you :slight_smile:
[name]David[/name]
[name]Oliver[/name]

I also love [name]Desmond[/name] from your list, but I don’t think it works well with your other boys’ names.

Here are some more names that would go well with your sib set:
[name]Edward[/name]
[name]George[/name]
[name]Nathaniel[/name]
[name]Peter[/name]
[name]Zachary[/name]

Also, if I ever had a 5th child, I probably wouldn’t be able to resist using [name]Quentin[/name] or [name]Quintin[/name] (nn [name]Quinn[/name]), which literally means “fifth.”

I really like [name]Simon[/name] the best from your choices. Next would be [name]David[/name]. [name]Lovely[/name], classic names! Best wishes to you!

[name]Nicholas[/name], [name]Adam[/name], [name]Simon[/name], and [name]Owen[/name] get my vote. I agree with the other posts about the J names, but I do love [name]Jude[/name] and [name]Jonas[/name] as well. Most of the names on your list sound nice with your other children’s names.
