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

But then is Danny and Gabby too similar?

I say Benjamin or Oliver.

Congrats! Flowers

Elly and Olly would be pretty bad, yes.

I still vote Daniel!

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!

I like Isaac.

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

MrsEricBana · 05/07/2016 19:13

Olly & Elly - no!

MrsEricBana · 05/07/2016 19:12

Wise not wish.

Joinourclub · 05/07/2016 19:12

I think Isaac goes well with your other children's names

MrsEricBana · 05/07/2016 19:12

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.

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.

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

ExtraHotLatteToGo · 05/07/2016 19:04

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?

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!

Those cheeks! I love Benjamin. Flowers

ButtfaceMiscreant · 05/07/2016 19:01

He looks like a Matthew.

Gorgeous!

BendydickCuminsnatch · 05/07/2016 18:59

Aw how divine! CHEEKS!!

Raines100 · 05/07/2016 18:54

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!

cosmicglittergirl · 05/07/2016 18:49

Oliver.
Congrats!

Raines100 · 05/07/2016 18:45

Oh, we can't possibly give name advice without a photo Grin

Congratulations!!!

BendydickCuminsnatch · 05/07/2016 18:30

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

What would help is a photo Wink
