I’m still very early on in my pregnancy and probably too early to be thinking about names, but DC3 was nameless for 2 weeks after he was born so I want to be more prepared this time around. We have 3 boys already their names are Jude, Levi and Ezra.
We have ran out of our favourite boys names now, and are completely uninspired. We’ve never agreed on girls names, my absolute favourite girls name is Nancy and DH’s is Phoebe.
Last name begins with S. We’d ideally like something that begins with a different letter to the boys’ names and ends in a different sound (I know I’m asking for a lotGrin) Any ideas for both boy or girl names?

We do like Isaac. This is so difficult!.

What do people think of Cain/Kane? It ticks all our boxes, we have family members with the name that we’d like to honour, we really like it but previous threads about it show a lot of people don’t like it because of the bible story. My mum has told me that he goes on to be a good farmer and puts his people before God, which I quite like.

I LOVE Nancy, DH isn’t keen though. It’s my great nans name so I’d love to use it. Hope is my nans name so will definitely be used as a middle name at least.

I’m really liking Arlo, we both are. Not too concerned about popularity, our main reason we chose the names is because we like how it sounds. And Arlo ticks all the boxes, starts with different letter, ends in different sound, four letters etc. The only thing that puts me off it is it isn’t biblical, even though we aren’t religious ourselves and having biblical names was purely a coincidence I do worry he might feel left out!.

Jude and Levi were on our list for boys! And we have three girls, one who is a Delilah!

Other girl name (/the names of our girls!) for us were similar to a lot already on this thread - Clara, Nancy, Zoe, Sophia, Mila, Aurora, Amelie, Delphine, Grace, Hope, Ruby, Catherine (probbaly with nn Cate or Kitty), Madeleine, Genevieve.

Other boys' names were Louis, Theo, Finn, Jacob, Arlo, Alexander, Wilfred, George, Maxim, Ilya.

DH has also suggested Shem. I quite like this, it’s the name of one of Noah’s sons, and I also like that it’s one syllable so 2 names are one syllable and 2 are two syllables.

I have ran them past DH, he likes Finn, Toby (I love Tobias but the S with our last name worries me), Axel, Abel, Cale, Beau, Arlo, Zane, Ivan and Bram.

For girls we really like Suzie, Hope, Dina and Ruby.
