Hi everyone, I hope you can help us. Our 3rd son was born a few days ago and struggling to decide on his name. We already have 2 boys (Owen and Robin) and our surname is 2 syllables.

Does anyone have any suggestions please? Or from the list below which names work well? We have noted down these names but no clear front runner yet:

Samuel
Sebastian
Ellis
Callum (Cal)
Eric
Leon
Odin
Logan
Liam
Joel
Finley/ Finlay
Cole
Rory
Oscar
Leo
Lewis
Christopher (Chris, Topher, Kit)
Ethan
Flynn
Charlie
Connor
Cameron
Caleb
Ewan
Jacob
Blake
Lawrence
Lucas
Aidan
Aaron

Thank you in advance!

Lovely names but I think Flynn flows the best with his brothers names.

Congratulations on your new little one 🥰

Gorgeous list.

The names that go with your other boys best imo are Callum, Leo, Aaron.

Avoid Ewan - far too like Owen. And maybe Rory (one of my favourite names) is a bit too like Robin. We made the mistake of same initial names. Now they are grown up, letters arrive and we don't know who they are for without opening them.

And lovely as some of the longer names are, I think it's a bit odd for the other sons to have two-syllable names and then go for something like Sebastian.

My DH name is Callum and always think what a good all rounder it is as a name. Also love Joel!

Notmymarmosets · 18/02/2026 09:52

My favourites are Samuel, Eric, Ewan and Laurence.

I think Ellis, Flynn, Samuel or Leo go best.

Congratulations!

Love the names of the two boys you have already!

My favourites from your list are:
Samuel (this is my top choice - classic and classy and goes really well with the other two)
Joel
Kit
Ewan/Euan
Jacob/Jake

Other ideas:
Dylan
Asa
Caspian
Ash
Joseph
Peter

Good list.

My faves with Owen and Robin are ..
Joel
Callum
Lawrence
Cameron
Craig
William

Leo or Flynn go well imo

What you should do is put all the names on a piece of paper in a random cloud and take turns with your DP crossing out your least favourite name. Stick it on the fridge or something.

We did this over several months with ours (Freddie!) we also have a Robin and considered a Leo! Glad we didn't in the end as the Pope died a few days after his birth.

Before I opened the thread I thought Sebastian so since it is on your list I will go with that! Also really like Joel and Christopher

I’ve got a Kit so biased but that completes a lovely sib set for you
I also like Aidan
congratulations whatever you decide

Nevergotdivorced · 18/02/2026 09:32

I love Kit.

Myswweetchild · 18/02/2026 09:31

Congratulations 🎊
It's a lovely list.
My 2 favourites are Samuel ( a timeless classic that's great for all ages), and Flynn.
Owen, Robin and Flynn ❤️
