Name for a 5th child??

Hi, dh and I are just wanting some suggestions on names that might go well with the rest of the family. Our children's names are Annie, August, Billie and Blake. And we are going to have a 5th child in January (so still plenty of time left to decide!)
We are leaving the gender as a surprise so all name suggestions are greatly appreciated!! Thanks xx

Quinn is a great suggestion. I also like Quentin but perhaps not with a Blake in the family Smile

Quinn, can be used for boy or girl, I've just googled names meaning 5th and apparently rachael is one. It's a really pretty name you don't hear much these days

My fifth child is Raphael.

Siblings are Eden, Sylvie, Reuben and Delilah.

I also liked Raphaella, Valentina, Leocadie and Romilly but obviously we had a boy so didn't get to uae them.

How about Vincent or Lysander?

Cecelia for a girl. Which could be shortened to CeCe(CC) to go with your aabb theme. Then if you never have no6 you’ll still have aabbcc (well, sorta) 🍀

Good point about Quentin Blake - hadn't seen the sibling names!

MmeBufo · 31/08/2019 14:13

I was also coming to suggest Quinten/Quentin but (Fab as Quentin Blake is) it's maybe still best avoided in combination with Blake.

Gwen for a girl would be lovely

maryannay · 31/08/2019 14:10

Love the suggestions of Quentin and Clementine!

sleepylittlebunnies · 31/08/2019 14:02

Winter or January to fit with Birth time, or even Jane, Janet, Janetta, Janice or Jancy.

Other names that I think fit with old and modern are -
Cora
Collette
Cynthia
Enid
Joan
Gillian
Amy

James or Jim
Casper
Caesar
Xander
Charles
Christopher
Colin
Eric
Frederick
Ralph
Geoffrey

Pippilangstrumpfi · 31/08/2019 13:58

Love Quentin for a boy! We have one in the family who's not a fifth born Smile

For a girl I like the suggestions of Rosa and Clara.

june2007 · 31/08/2019 13:43

If a girl Quinta for a boy Quintas. (They mean fith) Or how about Angela. (I am 5th too.)

peanacat · 31/08/2019 13:41

Clementine I also say.. would be a nice C name to go with the AABB and it’s an older name thats coming back. My niece is called Clemmie (a shortened form of that) and I think it’s unusual but pretty!

Leighton99 · 31/08/2019 13:38

My suggestions:
Cameron
Castiel
Caleb
Cato
Curtis

Clara
Colette/cosette
Colleen
Candice

It'll also date, having come from nowhere into the top 100 and climbing, plus a Disney movie last year released with a Clara as the main character. I think it'll peak in popularity soon then disappear into obscurity again. It may not bother you, not given the rest of your names aren't that common I thought it was something worth mentioning in case it does.
