Hi, my baby boy is 5 days old and still has no name. He is boy #5.

Siblings are Ethan, Harry, Niamh, Freddie and Conrad.

Middle name will be Phoenix

Brady Phoenix
Jaylen Phoenix
Saxon Phoenix (is this too X heavy?)
Taylan Phoenix
Theon Phoenix
Tyrese Phoenix

Which is your favourite?

Love brody, Isaac,and Micah

MyNewBearTotoro · 16/06/2019 08:31

I really like Micah

Fulltimemummy85 · 16/06/2019 07:19

Brodyvthe others aren't nice, I have known a few Jaydens it was quite common 10 years ago and not nice at all

Astronica · 16/06/2019 07:05

I don't like your original list but Brody is the best of them. Micah is okay, just not my style I guess. I do prefer Micah over Brody though. I think your other 5 names are much better and fit much better with the siblings - I like Oscar best - Oscar Phoenix is terrific. Otis?

SleepWarrior · 16/06/2019 06:05

Micah is lovely. Brody is OK too. Really not at all keen on the others. Taylor maybe instead of Taylen. Or Teige?

I was thinking the same as PP - biblical names might be the way to go. In any case, OP, it’s time to bring out the post partum hormones / tears etc to get what you want, as you have much better taste!!

Isaiah was what I was thinking - also
Josiah Phoenix
Jeremiah Phoenix
Thaddeus Phoenix (I really like this with your other names)
Nathaniel Phoenix

EugeniaGrace · 16/06/2019 04:50

Micah is nice.

What about some more obscure biblical names?

Malachi
Isaiah

What do you think of Micah? My dad's name was Michael. My 2nd son has Michael as middle name though. Would that matter?

Micah Phoenix

Your list is way better. Any from it would be fine and go well with your other DC's names.

Ezra
I also like Otis.

dreichuplands · 16/06/2019 03:11

Brody is fine.
Your current DH doesn't have great taste in names, he should let you choose.
Your vetoed names are all sensible.
Good luck with finding something you both agree with.

carla1983 · 16/06/2019 02:55

Brady is the nicest name from your list but it reminds me of a murderer's name. I don't like the others. I like all your existing kids' names. But in the end it's down to your own personal taste.

dustarr73 · 16/06/2019 02:18

@littlemissmoomoo I also have 5 boys so feel your pain about nemaes

dustarr73 · 16/06/2019 02:16

Right... have spoken to DH and told him we need to start again with looking for a name. I do like all the names I originally posted but you have all made me rethink!

OP posts:
Gigia · 15/06/2019 22:50

How about:

Asher
Isaac
Finley
Arlo
Otis
Eli

JaneGlorianaVillanueva · 15/06/2019 22:48

Brady is my favourite, Brody is nice too although quite American in my opinion!

Shadow1234 · 15/06/2019 22:45

Brody is my favourite on your list.
What about Torin?

MyNewBearTotoro · 15/06/2019 22:35

I like Brody. Don’t like any of your other suggested names sorry.

FogCutter · 15/06/2019 22:32

Don't like any of the names on the first list, the 2nd one is much better.

How about
Flynn
Owen
Corey
Lachlan
Rafe
Eli
Asher/ Asa

SemperIdem · 15/06/2019 21:55

Put your foot down, your list of names is far, far better.

Of the first list, only Brody even vaguely fits with your existing children.

Taylen is absolutely dreadful.

NearlySchoolTimeAgain · 15/06/2019 19:59

I was going to suggest Otis after seeing Otto. Reminded me of a lovely boy I taught.

Ploppymoodypants · 15/06/2019 19:46

What about Murray

TheVanguardSix · 15/06/2019 19:37

And congratulations! 6 kids! Wow! Super woman!

TheVanguardSix · 15/06/2019 19:36
