Ah, thanks so much for all your thoughts and suggestions.

I am completely torn between Callum and Jamie I think - really like both of them though sometimes fear that Jamie is a bit too like Katie (but she is a Katherine so might end up Kate / Katherine as she grows up...)

I also worry that Callum is a bit too like Liam, but do love it as a name, and like possibility to shorten it to Cal if he wants...

He's now five days old - will need to start trying to make up my mind.

Also tempted by Rory (though seems increasingly popular these days) and - wild card - do love Grayson - but my partner is vetoing that one!! Also liked Roddy (Roderick for full) but again my partner won't allow it!

Sorry Keep - just calling it as I see it. It must be a regional thing - I live in London. Callum is usually the name of the naughty kid in the class.

If op lives up north then as you were with Callum!

@Redskyandrainbows67 Callum is 'chavvy'?!? Behave yourself. It's one of the most popular, traditional names here in Scotland GrinGrinGrin

Flamingosnbears · 28/11/2018 12:50

Callum is lovely with your sibset

Marcipex · 28/11/2018 12:42

I like Jamie best out of those.

MamaDane · 28/11/2018 11:11

Samuel is one of the names on our list so naturally I'd pick that one Wink

foxtiger · 28/11/2018 10:56

I think Jamie fits well with the others.

Astronica · 28/11/2018 09:03

I like Callum best and think it goes best with the siblings.

Also, love suggestions of Rory, Jack, Finn, Struan with your family.

What about Luke?

IVflytrap · 28/11/2018 08:32

I like Samuel the best.

You might like Caleb?

Redskyandrainbows67 · 28/11/2018 06:20

Callum is Chavvy - don’t like at all

Nanalisa60 · 27/11/2018 23:24

Callum is a lovely name nice for a Little boy also nice for a man!! Have you thought of Harrison

Shadow1234 · 27/11/2018 23:15

Callum

RavenWings · 27/11/2018 23:14

I agree that a different sound would be good. I'm not keen on Samuel but I like Callum and Jamie.

Mesmeri · 27/11/2018 23:09

Congratulations! I love your taste in names, and feel your pain as I'm expecting my 4th imminently (but mine are all the same gender...) I have always liked Callum (although for me it would have to be Calum)
How about...
Dylan
Struan
Finn
Matthew

Balloondog · 27/11/2018 23:05

I think it sounds like you need a Jake to complete the line up Smile

KeepCalm · 27/11/2018 22:55

Congratulations!!

I think you need a different sound to finish off the four, if that makes sense

Polkasq · 27/11/2018 22:53

I vote Samuel.

Esunaguitarra · 27/11/2018 22:49

Samuel from your list.
My suggestion is Patrick.
Congrats!

TulipsInbloom1 · 27/11/2018 22:48

Seth.
Guy.
Rory.

SnowyPaws5 · 27/11/2018 22:46

I love Joel as Mona suggested.

SnowyPaws5 · 27/11/2018 22:45

I'm not a fan of any. Jamie is best but not my cup of tea.

Redskyandrainbows67 · 27/11/2018 22:35

James nn Jamie

MonaChopsis · 27/11/2018 22:34

I like Jamie as a nickname for James, and Samuel. Don't like Callum.

How about Joel? Or Daniel?

DontCallMeCharlotte · 27/11/2018 22:34

Congratulations!

Callum is too close to Liam I think? The others are lovely (as are your other children's names), especially Jamie.
