I have a nearly 5yo ds and 3yo dd, both names are four letters --Jack and Lola--

Me and dp decided we'd like dc3 to have 4 letter name, girl is covered as I'm using my late Grandmas name Lily.

So I like;

Noah (dp hates it), Finn (too different for dd and ds names), Theo (not good for an adult), Zach (too much like ds' name)

So help! Please. I'm 16wks but its stressing me out there's nothing --except Noah-- I love.

Have you had Stan? I love that name and it sounds great if it goes well with the surname.

Ihatepeas · 09/07/2012 13:25

I think Finn goes really well with your others.

5mad should have put in op all the 'issues' with names are dps. I love theodore but we agreed it seemed to big with jack and lola, I said theo he said no. He's driving me insane!!

Finn is growing on me, but I keep going back to Noah, although it does sound similar to Lola hmm this is hard work! It was So easy with dc1 how do people manage with big familys!!

apocalypse I love your names, they sound lovely together. Dc1 and 2s initials actually spell JAW and LEG (minus the surname initial) we get some stick for that and what body part will this one be.

What about Noam instead of Noah?

I don't particularly like or dislike the name Noah but I think your idea of Noah Alexander James is lovely. Go for it.

Lola sounds too much like Noah IMO

Don't make the bleddy mistake I did, we have a Bethany and an Ethan, which my dbro enjoys pointing out are the same names give or take a B and a Y Angry

Finn is lovely! I don't think it sounds too different at all.

Josh, Joel, Zach, Evan, Finn, Toby, Ryan, Zane, Luke, Adam, Noah, Alex, Jack, Nate, sorry if repeating any names

CheerfulYank · 09/07/2012 05:27

Oh and I like Zeke, short for Ezekiel. :)

CheerfulYank · 09/07/2012 05:26

I don't love Noah because I know soooo many boys named that, but it is a nice name.

Luke is great but I have a weird thing about two siblings having an initial and one not. However, you may not have my hangups! :)

Hugo? Kirk? Mark? Milo? Paul? Reid? Seth? Tate?

I don't think that Finn sounds strange with your other two! I know siblings named Jack, Finn, and Lily. :)

Throw loads of horrendous names at DH - then when he's really scared - suggest Noah - he might then be relieved & happily go along with it Grin

DS1 is called Sean, which I obviously love, but don't think it goes with your other two children's names, if that sort of thing bothers you?

Will/william is my favourite boys name but a doting aunt let me help choose my cousins name and guess what I chose, were a close family too so I couldn't use it, too confusing as he's very much a will. And also about 6 other names I like are already in the family, or they're nicknames. Also Milo I love but its mums dogs name.

Love Luca and Luke.

Considering just saying I like Noah every day until december like I did Lola which he originally said no too, then one day said, "state what do you think of Lola?" Like we'd never mentioned it. Grin I reeeeally like Noah.

Hmmm, Noah Alexander James? Does that sound ok together?
