[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m], [name_u]Everett[/name_u], and [name_m]Barnaby[/name_m] get my vote! I love all three, so it would be hard for me to pick a favorite, but maybe [name_m]Barnaby[/name_m].

I love [name_m]Arthur[/name_m], but I agree that the name should have more syllables. [name_m]Barnaby[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] would be amazing!

[name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] is also really nice with your children’s names, but [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] and [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] remind me of Tsar [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] II and his wife [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f]…

Your kiddo’s names are gorgeous.
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] and [name_m]Barnaby[/name_m] jumped out at me from your list. They seem to just “fit” with the other kiddos’ names.
[name_f]Do[/name_f] you like [name_m]Nathanael[/name_m]? It seems your style- regal, but easy to wear. Another idea is [name_m]Nikolai[/name_m]. I find it ever so much more interesting than [name_m]Nicolas[/name_m].
I hope you can conceive soon! :slight_smile:

I voted for [name_m]Silas[/name_m], but I also really like [name_u]Elias[/name_u]! They’re both great names :slight_smile:

I voted [name_m]Barnaby[/name_m] ([name_u]Love[/name_u], love, love [name_m]Barnaby[/name_m]), but I have to say I also love [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m], [name_m]Arthur[/name_m], and [name_m]Silas[/name_m].

[name_f]Do[/name_f] the other boys go by nicknames? [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] or [name_u]Theo[/name_u] and [name_u]Alex[/name_u] or [name_m]Xander[/name_m]? I really love [name_u]Elias[/name_u] nn [name_m]Eli[/name_m]. I think it goes great as a full name if your other boys go by their full names but nickname [name_m]Eli[/name_m] also goes gorgeously with [name_u]Theo[/name_u] and [name_m]Xander[/name_m] or [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] and [name_u]Alex[/name_u].

[name_m]SEBASTIAN[/name_m] totally! especially with [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] and angel baby [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]…

[name_f]May[/name_f] I suggest: [name_m]Barnaby[/name_m] + [name_u]Everett[/name_u] = [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] :smiley:

[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] or [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] would be my choice. Since your children’s names are 3 or 4 syllables, anything shorter feels, well, too short. [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] are tried and true classics, while [name_f]Madelyn[/name_f] and [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] are more contemporary choices that don’t feel too tied to any one era. [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] leans more toward the [name_f]Madelyn[/name_f]/[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] side of the style spectrum, whereas [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] leans more toward the [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]/[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] side of the spectrum. Either way, both names would be perfect in your family and “connect” the girls’ names to the boys’ names. [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] would work as well, I suppose, although it stands out because it’s so heavily Biblical.

[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] or [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] would be my suggestions.

I voted [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m], I think it’s just a beautiful classic that plays well with the other names in the sibset.

I voted [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] since I think [name_m]Zeke[/name_m] is so fantastic! However, [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] or [name_u]Everett[/name_u] might be a better sib set fit.

Thanks everyone! I agree that [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] is probably the best fit with the other boys’ names – I’m just not totally in love with it. I am completely in love with [name_m]Barnaby[/name_m], but I can’t sell my hubby on it. :slight_smile: I’m going to keep trying. [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] will remain as our #1 choice, I think! (P.S. I was so sure I had clicked the “multiple options” on the poll, but I guess I didn’t!)

I appreciate the input!

As far as the middle, my 10-year-old wants to use a name that has the same meaning as [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], in order to honor our baby boy. It will likely be [name_m]Matthew[/name_m]. Wish I could use [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m], but that is my hubby’s name and he is totally opposed to using it as a middle for some reason! :slight_smile:

I don’t like the sound of [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] because it is too heavy on the “a” sound. [name_f]My[/name_f] favorites combo is probably [name_u]Everett[/name_u] [name_m]Matthew[/name_m].

Any other thoughts for boy names that mean gift of God besides [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], [name_m]Matthew[/name_m], and [name_m]Nathan[/name_m]/[name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]?

I think [name_m]Silas[/name_m] breaks up the heaviness of the other names without feeling out of place.

I’m sorry for your loss and hope you’ll have a healthy pregnancy soon. I also voted [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] bc I love the nickname [name_m]Zeke[/name_m]. BUT after reading your other kids names I would pick [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]. I actually love [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] even though it’s a lot of name!

I voted for [name_m]Jasper[/name_m], though would have also voted for [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m], [name_u]Everett[/name_u], and [name_m]Arthur[/name_m].
I personally find [name_m]Barnaby[/name_m] and [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] - while interesting to a name nerd - heavy, awkward and clunky. I think [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] could be a great mn but am with your husband on the “no buenos” for [name_m]Barnaby[/name_m].
