Hello,
I'm due to have my 3rd baby in 6 weeks, it's a boy and we are stuck on names, my older son is Raphaël and my daughter is Sophia

My husband has French connections, if that helps to choose anything 🫨

So far we like Matheo, Carlos, Joseph ( I do like Max aswell but maybe it's abit 'short' compared) my husband recently suggested Sebastian

Can anyone suggest any names they think would go well please? Thank you for any help Smile

Congratulations and great name!

I was thinking about the 'ph' in Sophia and Raphael and thought that's maybe why you liked Joseph. But Gabriel is lovely! I love French names, you have great taste! 😁

Yes that's why I liked Joseph too, I always liked the name :)

Thank you! Halo

Hello,
Sorry I forgot to update! My son was born in June, chosen name is Gabriel Maximilian

In the end I wanted Joseph or Max
My husband wanted Alexander or Gabriel

Went for a mix of the 2!

Thank you for all the suggestions xx

Love Matheo and Sebastian!

theduchessofspork · 10/09/2024 15:40

I don't think you want Raphael and Gabriel together - both nice but very matchy matchy

I like Sebastian most of your choices and it goes the best, Max and Joseph are nice too but a bit plainer.

Maybe..

Xavier (Xav)
Dominic or Nicholas (Nico)
Alexander (Sacha if you want something more interesting than Alex)
Cassian
Tobias
