Brother for Jemima and Abigail

43 replies

Jemima Rose (Jimmie) and Abigail Ivy (Abby) are expecting a baby brother in July. My husband and I have had no problems agreeing on girls names previously but can’t find a SINGLE boy name that we both like.

OH is deadest on Patrick which I’m not a fan of. I quite like Cameron/Lachlan/Ciaran.

We both kind of like Finn or Jack (which is a family name) but as OH/baby have a single syllable surname we’re not sure about single syllable first names.

Any suggestions or advice?

Your girls names are lovely.
What about Timothy (Tim for short)

Sticking with Irish names, how about;

Ronan
Fergus
Oisin
Fionn
Rory?

The only Abigail I know (it’s me 😂) has a brother named James and we were always complimented at how well the names go together.

Mungo, it just seems to have a ring to it that goes with your girls' names.

ps I like Patrick, too. Mungo Patrick?

I was going to say Ben as well!

pipilangstrumpf · 16/03/2018 12:10

I agree, I'd avoid a single syllable name or nickname. I like Cameron, Felix, Quentin, Callum or how about Magnus?

ILookedintheWater · 16/03/2018 12:07

So many Finns!

Your DDs have 3 syllable names with 2 syllable nns so I wouldn't pick a single syllable for your son.

Benjamin (Benjy)

Ha I was also going to say Benjamin sounds nice with those Grin

Joinourclub · 16/03/2018 12:01

Patrick is great!

How about:
Jacob
Dominic
Daniel
Rafferty

I'm with your husband, Patrick is gorgeous and underused

Lachlan is ok. As is Ciaran. I really do t like Cameron as it makes me think of David Cameron

I find Finn a bit bland on its own. I like Jack and it isn't as popular as it once was.

Other suggestions you might like...

Jemima, Abigail and Aaron
Jemima , Abigail and Leo
Jemima, Abigail and Joshua
Jemima , Abigail and Lewis
Jemima, Abigail and Callum

I really do love Melina, Abigail and Patrick as a subset though

pipilangstrumpf · 16/03/2018 11:13

Love Cameron or how about Caspar or Quentin?

cheeseandpineapple · 16/03/2018 10:37

I was thinking Benjamin too and Benjie or Ben for short as both would go with Jimmie and Abby.

Love your girls names. I think Benjamin (Ben) goes nicely with them.

Madeline18 · 16/03/2018 10:30

You could do Finlay or Jonathan if you don't just want Finn or Jack.

I really like Henry or Oliver with your girls names.
