Currently expecting DC4. It will be our first gender surprise and DH and I cannot agree on a boys name.

We love vintage/traditional names, our DDs are Ada, Nelly & Margot with middle names that we felt just flowed. I’m not too fussed about meaning/popularity/origin
Theres a few we can’t use as already in the family: Harry, Arthur, Ralph, Henry, James Thomas, Sidney, Oscar, Wilf.
DH loves Edward/Eddie or Edison/Sonny but I’m really not a fan. Edward feels a bit too pretentious and Sonny sounds like I couldn’t be bothered to think of a better name for my first DS. (Was also the name of our neighbours recently deceased dog)
He also loves Silas but it doesn’t go with our surname at all.

names i love but DH has vetoed are Caleb, Benjamin, George, August, Jack,
If we have another DD her name will be Phoebe Sloane.

Please help ❤️

I was going to say Oscar before I read your op. What about Austin, or Felix?

My son’s name is Jude & it’s still my favourite name for a boy, 12 + years on & I think goes beautifully with your girls’ names.

Other names that go with your girls’ beautiful names:

Sebastian (Seb/ Bastian)
Mac
Grady
Hugo
Albie
Monty

Congratulations on your upcoming baby.

I’m sure you’ll find the perfect name for them when they arrive

My first thought was Benjy before I saw your names!

I never normally comment on these but your daughter's names are beautiful and for the first time I had names pop into my head to go with them.
