Baby number 4, we have plenty of time till he/she arrives but finding it hard to even think about how to choose a name. Siblings names end in n, ph, n so to try and make it sound even we thought oh maybe go for another ph or f ending. Can anyone help suggest anything? Or tell me this is a stupid way to choose?

It's definitely an odd way to choose.

Thanks @drama and @rabbit. What is a good way to choose? We've literally been through hundreds of names already there are just so many I feel like I need to narrow down the search and find one that "works" with the others?

@Pseudo my ds's would be so happy if I called the baby Giraffe haha.

There are some brilliant suggestions thank you. I knew asking would be helpful.

@sophronia Zeph was on our list as a short for Zephaniah but does it sound too crazy?

Personally I don't like choosing names to match siblings or to fit a theme - however when I read your children's names, I think a name ending in -a would sound nicer or flow better than -ph.
