I'm heavily preganant with my fourth child and its going to be the first boy i have. Me and my partner are a little concerned that he is going to grow up overwhelmed by the amount of girls in the house. Furthermore we can't seem to settle on a name!!
All of our daughters name'a are pretty simple and basic but pretty at the same time. Ben (My partner) wants to try a more modern name this time but I'd rather go basic again. What do other people think? :)

I think the name should be a good strong boys name to separate him from the girls - therefore not Robin, Eddie or any other name that could be a girls.

Jack - favourite as I've got one, but also it works so well with the girls names (just say them all out loud to see)!

Charlie

Tom

Jessica, Holly, Poppy and Jack just go really well together!

FWIW, I have a Holly and her sister isn't Poppy, although I do love that name...

I love the name Jack, I know its very popular but its such a great name.

growing3rdbump · 19/04/2011 17:18

I also know sisters Holly and Poppy! They considered Alex or Jack if 3rd had been a boy. I think any name would work with the 3 girls names - Ethan, Isaac, Noah, Daniel....

Tuggy · 19/04/2011 16:25

Vote for Jack!

AmyLouise86 · 19/04/2011 14:50

I've never met a Holly who didn't have a sister called Poppy. Grin I know no fewer than 4 sibling sets with a Holly and a Poppy. Boys names from the same sets are Jack, Harry, Sam and Oliver.

misdee · 19/04/2011 14:39

Robin

I think either Sam or Tom would be great. I hear the name Thomas quite a lot but less so Sam. Sam is one of my favourite boys' names ever!

AmyLouise86 · 19/04/2011 14:23

Aww thank you. Yeah they go quite welli suppose. But is it too commen??
