DC3 is here... Help!?

We have a son and daughter, so wasn't really planning on any more. However, we just couldn't resist Grin there is an 8 year age gap, between him and our son

He arrived last week. We have spent this week narrowing the names down.

The list is:

  • Benjamin
  • Daniel
  • Isaac
  • Matthew
  • Oliver


Our other children are Elliot and Gabriella.

I've also changed my username (I found out how Grin) x

CONGRAULATIONS! Isaac was my initial choice but also think Daniel & Matthew are great choices!

What would help is a photo Wink

Daniel

Because I'm a sucker for "matching" sets and the others both have "el" names.

Congratulations on your squishy newborn. Tickle his toes from me!

Thank you! His cheeks are huge Grin his whole head is and didn't I feel it

It's really hard, we like all of them, so will probably go with the majority!

Oh dear...can't you just call him Gorgeous & be done with it?

He's positively edible 💐

Day to day, what do you call the other two?

Matthew.
Gorgeous Smile congratulations.
Love your names.
I'd go with Daniel or Oliver as a middle name if you're having one.

We call the others El/Els/Elly and Gab/Gabs/Gabby, but tend to stick with Elliot and Gabriella.

Yep, we will be giving him a middle name.

Congratulations, he's adorable! All those names are great. Some of my friends with Olivers get all huffy about them being call Olly if that would bother you. Abbreviations wish I haven't heard any Isaac abbreviations and I personally prefer Matt or Dan to Ben(ny) and Olly. Are they all ok with your surname. DS knows a Ben Dover, I kid you not.

I like Isaac.

I also want another baby now. Congratulations- he is adorable.

We don't frequently call him Elly Smile it's just something that we occasionally use! Is Elly and Olly really bad?

Last name is a -son name and starts with H. I think they all sound fine!

Elly and Olly would be pretty bad, yes.

I still vote Daniel!

NoncommittalToSparkleMotion · 05/07/2016 19:21

I say Benjamin or Oliver.

Congrats! Flowers

Congratulations! He's beautiful. All your names are lovely (no help I know!). What do Elliot and Gabriella think their new brother should be called?

NickyEds · 05/07/2016 19:31

I think he's an Isaacs and that matches your other dc's names. He beautiful. I need another baby!
