Just that really.
DC5 due early December. If a boy will be Raphael James William.

Other DC are
Eden Leonard Patrick
Sylvie Jacinta
Reuben John Stephen
Delilah Elisabeth Amanda.

Any opinions or fabulous suggestions?

Thanks

Thanks for all of your input.
It looks like Raphaela might be the front runner so far.

I think that DP is going to veto Magdalene. He just really dislikes Maggie/Mags and thinks they are inevitable nicknames.

I love the suggestion of Faustina though and will definitely mull thste one over.

I think Raphael and Juliette are a fabulous sibset.

It Will be so much easier if the baby is a boy as it took us perhaps all of two seconds to settle on Raphael.

I like Mariella and Juliette. I suggest Marcella.

I'd like a little boy Raphael too - fabulous name, my favourite. Sadly my DH isn't convinced.

Of the girls names, I love Raphaela. Also juliette. The others are pretty too, but personally I'd go with Raphaela (and juliette as mn would work nicely with Raphaela).

I have a Raphael James and a Juliette!

Raphaella/e and Magdalene are great, although I wanted Madeleine for Mary Magdalene instead of the direct spelling. I'm unlikely to have another child but if I did I would definitely go with them, lovely names.

Other nice names which I would think of as similar (you may disagree):
Faustina, Thérèse, Augustina, Kezia, Miriam, Rebecca.

Magdalene

I love your DCs' names OP. Of the 4 in your title, I think Mariella is too "ellellelly" (made up word for you there) with Delilah.

I would go with Raphaela nn Raffy personally (DH vetoed Raphael from our boys list though)!

Theyre both biblical names

Jacinta and Delilah? I think most celebrity names would go with that set!
