Picking a name!

General Name Discussion
1

We are 7 weeks away from having baby #4 and we don’t have names picked out!! Our other three children are named [name]Samuel[/name] (rarely shortened to [name]Sam[/name]), [name]Hope[/name], and [name]Aliyah[/name] (often called [name]Lia[/name]). We don’t know if we are having a boy or a girl, so here’s our lists for both. Any advice would be appreciated . . . even other names that aren’t on our list. At this point we are open to anything!

Girl Names:
[name]Emma[/name]/[name]Emmaline[/name]
[name]Eden[/name]
[name]Taelyn[/name]
[name]Karis[/name]
[name]Mya[/name]
[name]Reese[/name]
[name]Rayna[/name]
[name]Clara[/name]
Maylie

The middle name will be either [name]Alexandra[/name] or [name]Alyse[/name] (pronounced like [name]Elise[/name]) after family members. I also love the name [name]Anna[/name]/[name]Annie[/name] or any variation but I do have a sister [name]Anna[/name] so I’d have to get a little creative just to make it different!

Boy Names:
[name]Josiah[/name]
[name]Isaiah[/name]
[name]Caden[/name]
[name]Camden[/name]
[name]Malachi[/name] (nn [name]Kai[/name])
[name]Alexander[/name] (nn [name]Alex[/name] or [name]Zander[/name])
[name]Judah[/name]
[name]Tobin[/name] or [name]Tobias[/name]
[name]Elliot[/name]
[name]Simon[/name]
[name]Andrew[/name]/[name]Drew[/name]
[name]Jace[/name]
[name]Asher[/name]

The middle name for a boy will either be [name]Alex[/name], [name]Alexander[/name], or [name]Henry[/name]

Thank you for your advice! I can’t wait to see your suggestions!!

First of all, congrats on your pregnancy! Your other children must be so excited with you!

Of the names you have listed, I like [name]Camden[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] the best for a boy, [name]Emmaline[/name] [name]Alyse[/name] for a girl. I can see a trend with your children … the names get more more more unique and I love it!

I found this site that has lots of rare baby names to choose from. (http://www.rarebabynames.org)

Best of luck! And again, congratulations!

Congratulations :slight_smile:

I love [name]Eden[/name] [name]Alexandra[/name] and [name]Eden[/name] [name]Alyse[/name]. I think those both sound really great. Out of the two I am leaning more towards [name]Eden[/name] [name]Alexandra[/name], not sure why. Ha. I adore the name [name]Clara[/name], it’s one of my favourites ever!! And both of the middle names, in my opinion flow really well. [name]Clara[/name] [name]Alexandra[/name] and [name]Clara[/name] [name]Alyse[/name].

Some other suggestions are:
[name]Imogen[/name] [name]Alexandra[/name]
[name]Imogen[/name] [name]Alyse[/name]
[name]Lola[/name] [name]Alyse[/name]
[name]Lola[/name] [name]Alexandra[/name]
[name]Annabelle[/name] [name]Alyce[/name]
[name]Annabelle[/name] [name]Alexandra[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Alyce[/name]
Annalyse [name]Alexandra[/name] ([name]Anna[/name], [name]Alyce[/name]/[name]Alyse[/name], [name]Alexandra[/name]. Three names you liked all in one. This is probably my favourite) or you could spell it Analyse or [name]Annalise[/name] or [name]Annelise[/name]…

[name]Clara[/name] Annalyse
[name]Amelia[/name] Annalyse
[name]Mia[/name] Annalyse
[name]Eleanor[/name] Annalyse
[name]Madeleine[/name] Annalyse
[name]Lola[/name] Annalyse

I don’t know how you feel about double middle names but I thought I’d put some in :slight_smile:

[name]Imogen[/name] [name]Clara[/name] [name]Alyse[/name]
[name]Clara[/name] [name]Alexandra[/name] [name]Alyce[/name]
[name]Bailey[/name] [name]Sophia[/name] [name]Alyce[/name]
[name]Sophia[/name] [name]Alexandra[/name] [name]Alyce[/name]
[name]Sophia[/name] [name]Lola[/name] [name]Alyce[/name]
[name]Lola[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Alyce[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Lola[/name] [name]Alexandra[/name]

As for the boys, I like [name]Josiah[/name], [name]Alexander[/name], [name]Tobias[/name] and [name]Asher[/name].

[name]Alexander[/name] [name]Henry[/name] has a really nice like ring to it. [name]Josiah[/name] [name]Alexander[/name], nice. [name]Josiah[/name] [name]Henry[/name], I like. [name]Tobias[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] is great. [name]Tobias[/name] [name]Henry[/name], sounds great. [name]Asher[/name] [name]Alexander[/name], I love alliteration! [name]Asher[/name] [name]Henry[/name], I’m not so sure that works too well. Sorry! From those, I’m leaning towards, [name]Alexander[/name] [name]Henry[/name].

Some other suggestions are:

[name]Asher[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] [name]Henry[/name] - I love this.
[name]Asher[/name] [name]Tobias[/name] [name]Henry[/name]
[name]Oliver[/name] [name]Henry[/name]
[name]Hayden[/name] [name]Alexander[/name]
[name]Josiah[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] [name]Henry[/name] - I also love this but not as much as the first.
[name]Oscar[/name] [name]Henry[/name]
[name]Riley[/name] [name]Alexander[/name]

With your kids names, I like [name]Mya[/name] and [name]Alexander[/name].

5

[name]Eden[/name]
[name]Karis[/name] (I prefer [name]Charis[/name])
[name]Rayna[/name]

[name]Eden[/name] [name]Alexandra[/name] or [name]Eden[/name] [name]Alyse[/name] sound equally good. [name]Charis[/name]/[name]Karis[/name] [name]Alexandra[/name] is very nice, as is [name]Rayna[/name] [name]Alyse[/name].

[name]Josiah[/name]
[name]Malachi[/name]
[name]Elliot[/name]

[name]Josiah[/name] [name]Alexander[/name], [name]Malachi[/name] [name]Henry[/name], [name]Elliot[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] or [name]Elliot[/name] [name]Henry[/name]

[name]Jedidiah[/name] is also a good boy’s name.

6

[name]Clara[/name] [name]Alyse[/name]!! Hands down my favorite of your girl’s options. For boys my top choice would be [name]Elliot[/name] [name]Alexander[/name].

7

I like [name]Karis[/name] and [name]Eden[/name] from your girl list. I prefer the spelling [name]Charis[/name] but [name]Karis[/name] might be easier to pronounce. I would do [name]Karis[/name] [name]Alexandra[/name]

[name]Eden[/name] is beautiful and on my short list. I think [name]Annalise[/name] would be a creative way to get [name]Anna[/name] and the [name]Alyse[/name] sound together.
[name]Eden[/name] [name]Anneliese[/name] is beautiful.

On your boys list I love [name]Malachi[/name]! [name]Love[/name] love love it!

8

[name]Eden[/name] [name]Alexandra[/name] is beautiful. I also like [name]Rayna[/name] spelled [name]Raina[/name]. For your boy combos I like [name]Elliot[/name] [name]Alex[/name] the best I think* - you have some nice choices there :slight_smile:

I love [name]Emma[/name], [name]Reese[/name], [name]Clara[/name], and Maylie for the girls and [name]Elliot[/name], [name]Jace[/name], and [name]Asher[/name] for the boys.
You have great name choices by the way!!
i also have a current crush on the name [name]Elle[/name]…
