We have Dean Finnegan, Leia Megan and Heidi Matilda.
Leia and Heidi are our twins. Am very surprised to be expecting which I was why I wanted help picking a name. I love that Dean, Leia and Heidi have names that are unusual but known. Has anybody got experience of four children and what it's like?
Boys names we like atm are: Nolan Xavier, Beau Tatum, Beau Theodore, Gus David, Dax Austin, Kit Dominic, Austin Dax or Roman Theodore.
Girls names we like atm are: Cora Wren, Maren Stella, Ivy Delilah, Tess Valentina, Shay Saskia, Amy Delilah, Abbey Juliet or Ciara Delaney.

Please choose your favourite three names!
Our surname is a single syllable and begins with S.

Thanks xx

I like Gus David best for a boy, and for a girl Ivy Delilah is an absolutely beautiful name Smile

ChocoChou · 13/12/2016 17:07

I like Dax and Cora...
Sorry but I reeeeeally dislike Beau

Roomba · 13/12/2016 16:57

Kit Dominic & Cora Wren are my votes.

Gruffalosfriend · 13/12/2016 16:29

I like Conrad too. Or how about Reuben or Quentin?

Gruffalosfriend · 13/12/2016 16:28

Austin Dax

Maren Stella

I'd have a 2 syllable first name with your shirt surname!

Dogolphin · 13/12/2016 14:34

Cora Wren! What a lovely name combination.

How about Conrad for a boy?

Puremince · 13/12/2016 14:26

Kit Dominic

Cora Wren, Ciara Delaney and Ivy Delilah - 1st equal

I don't think Dax works when you already have a Dean.

SorenaJ · 13/12/2016 13:50

Tess Valentina, Abbey Juliet
Beau Theodore, Beau Tatum

itfcbabe · 13/12/2016 13:15

Cora,Wren is beautiful

Beau,Theodore is my favourite of the boys

FurbysMakeSexNoises · 12/12/2016 11:14

KIT DOMINIC- 1st choice
BEAU THEODORE- 3rd choice
GUS DAVID-2nd choice
TESS VALENTINA-2nd
CORA WREN- 1st
IVY DELILAH- 3rd

SpunkyMummy · 12/12/2016 11:09

Angus David, David Angus and Theodore Roman are lovely.

Nolan and Roman Theodore are really nice names.

I really don't like your other boy's names. Dax, Beau and Kit are either dogs or rednecks imo. (However, I'm just somebody sitting behind their computer. They're obviously you're children. So, please don't take this too negatively.)

Cora Wren is incredibly gorgeous!

SpunkyMummy · 12/12/2016 11:04

Nolan Xavier: yes
Gus David: Angus David is fabulous!
Roman Theodore: why not? It's cute.

Cora Wren: gorgeous

Hulababy · 11/12/2016 19:23

Re boy's name - I prefer the name Theodore from all the suggestions.

Hulababy · 11/12/2016 19:22

Boys names:
Not sure, sorry.

Girls names: in no particular order -
Tess Valentina
Amy Delilah
Abbey Juliet - but Abby to Abi, or Abigai. Don't like the Abbey spelling, apologies.

Rinmybell · 11/12/2016 19:12

Hate Beau.
Love Shay for boy and girl but spelt Shea.
I have a Roman, so I love that.
Kit, Gus, Ivy and Cora are all cute too.

Roman Theodore from the boys.

Cora Wren from the girls.

Not keen on Beau. I want to like Dax but it's too close to Drax, which is probably not an issue where you live but there's a place nearby here with the name so would put me off.

HoratioNightboy · 10/12/2016 13:23

I like Roman best of your boy names, and Maren from the girl list although I'm not mad about Stella.

My favourite is Beau Tatum and Ciara Delaney.

I do like Gus but only as a nickname for Angus.

And isn't Shay a boy's name? I know Shays who are all boys in their teens.

Oysterbabe · 10/12/2016 09:27

We have a Heidi and if we have a boy next he'll be Xander or Rudy. Not what you asked, sorry :)

GinIsIn · 10/12/2016 08:00

Cora, Ivy, Kit and Theodore are lovely. Beau is awful.

Cosmicglitterpug · 10/12/2016 07:57

Beau Theodore
Cora Wren

CakeRattleandRoll · 10/12/2016 07:55

Roman Theodore (by a long way)
Austin Dax (although in Australia, dax means undies)
Kit Dominic

Cora Wren (lovely)
Ivy Delilah
Tess Valentina

You asked about big families...
Big families can be lovely. For me, let it be about everyone helping each other and looking after the person who needs it most. Don't let it be about being equal/fair. M and D can't be the source of everything or as families get bigger, there is less to go round. So kids have to help each other and be generous with each other.
I was accidentally blessed with a year when I had six children, four of them with additional/special needs, and my most precious moments were when eldest two snuggled up on sofa with middle two watching tatty telly to comfort them after some emotional disaster or another, leaving me to look after youngest two and cook tea.
My DSis had a large family and ran herself ragged making sure everyone had the same. Her kids count and compare everything. Mine are happier.
