Surprise Baby needs a name

64 replies

78Helena · 22/08/2020 00:02

Hello!

We already have three daughter´s which were all conceived via ICSI. This baby was conceived naturally and we are still surprised especially because I am already 42.

Isadora = Gift of the moon; *2011
Estella = Star; *2015 (twin of Marisol)
Marisol = Loved sun child; *2015 (twin of Estella)

This pregnancy is a total surprise and we now know it is a boy. We always thought that our children were given us from heaven and because of that we would love a name that goes with the siblings names nicely.

Thanks in advance

Bennett - a miracle or a blessed one.
Oswald - divine power
Ian - a miracle or a gift from the Lord. (might be too plain for you)
Zelig - means blessed or miracle.
Avu - gift of God".
Esai - means gift
Ansel - with divine protection

Going a bit in a different direction but

Kader ‘fate’ or ‘destiny
Edmund - fortune protector
Solomon - peaceful

Jericho - “City of the moon”
Sterling - pure; starling; little star
Samson sun (and obviously the story of Samson and Delilah)
Neo - new or gift
Eli - my God is abundance”, “my God is an oath”
Levi - ‘joining’ or ‘adhering

@Haffdonga

Your dd's names are heavenly not godly so I'd not go with the biblical theme so many are suggesting. I like previous suggestions Cosmo Sol

or
Leo - (constellation)
Sirius (a star not just Harry Potter's Godfather)

or something more unusual like Castor, Callisto, Io, Tethys etc

I would be happy if we could agree on a name at all.

But I like the Idea of Star Constellations.

Celestin and Ezekiel get my vote! I have a relative called Zeke and I loove the name. All your girls' names are great. Congratulations!

Emmanuel? I wanted to use it, but XH vetoed it.

I’m nearly 45 and I honestly don’t think I or anyone around me would turn a hair. We’re all different though.

@Awwlookatmybabyspider

42 isn’t that old to have a baby anymore. It’s quite an average age now. I don’t think Aggie and Maggie will be jangling on the street corner about how socked they are. If you if you 52 I’d get your shock. I
We are shocked. One about the age and two that it happened at all naturally

How about Lucien (bringer of light)?

Or Jasper (a gemstone).

@MrsGrindah

Why are people suggesting names for girls when OP has already said its a boy?
That is a good question
