Staring a a new baby boy and we are a bit stuck... Names we like and could suit him are...

Abel
Corin
Jonah
Seb (Sebastian)

We'd like something strong and short for him. Surname ends in in 'son'. Appreciate any thoughts and suggestions!

Please be kind! Day 3 and fragile!!

I have a Norah and a future DS would be a Joel

Oh Joel would really go with Rafe and Nora

Sebastian too long with Rafe and Nora.
A shorter name like Jude, Gus, Guy, Saul might fit better. Victor sounds like it has the same porch-sitter boomer vibe as Rafe and Nora. I like these names.

Oh and Milo was the other one! But feels a bit flakey somehow!

I suppose I have little worries with them.and it's stopping us from just going for it. Abel and Jonah being quite unfortunate characters in the Bible, corin being a bit girly maybe? And we like Sebastian but it's a new one that has popped up so not really sure! Just seems to suit the little fellow!!

Thanks so much.

I was thinking Sebastian before I even saw your list Smile

Abel flows nicely with your other kids names.

Seb Sebastian is fantastic

Congratulations! I love both of your children's names and I like all four of your choices for number 3, Abel is my favourite from the 4 listed though. If I was to have another (not happening at my age) I had chosen Albie for a boy and Alba for a girl.
