Like Noah the best out of those names.

What about Duncan? I love it, but DH said no despite us having three boys.

Love Jonah and Gabriel.

Jacob and Noah are ok but a bit too popular for me. Don't particularly like Evan, sorry.

Why not wait till baby is born and see what suits him?

Jacob and Noah are my favourites from your list and both go well with Phoebe.

Seth
Joel

Keir

Love Isaac but it's a surname within the family . Love nathaniel but DH thinks it's too close to Nathan which we already have in the family . Similarly we had to rule out Oliver Jude and Niall they would have all been on the shortlist too .

39+1 here... my boys list is similar.

I love Jacob and Noah, but they are so popular I have discounted them as much as this pains me! But if it didn't bother me, I'd have gone with Jacob!

Jonah was number 1 for a while for us. Now we are swaying towards Elijah.

Zachary is also a possibility.

I have an Ethan.

Jonah would be my fave and goes well with phoebe as another poster also mentioned.

DH has just suggested Noel but I'm not so sure . Don't really like the oasis connotation . I dont knooooow !!!

If we were having a DD I could happily pick from about 10 names and be happy to call her any of them . I just don't like boys names Sad

Maybe Jobe? (I know it is spelled Job but just think that would be mispronounced too often).

Or Johdi/ Jody.

I like Jonah from your list too.

If you call him Jonah let's hope he doesn't join the navy.

My ds3 had no name for a few days.He didnt suit the names i had picked out.He is called Ryan which is a nice enough name ,wasnt on my radar.But when he was born thats the name that came to me.Have to say out of your names Jonah is the nicest,Unusual enough but is easily spelled.
