If your DCs names had a 'theme' would you feel obliged to stick to it?

All four of my children have biblical names. Sort of by design but all names we both love.

Now we are expecting DC5 in a fortnight and have chosen a biblical boy's name but can't seem to agree on a girl's one. Somehow I feel obliged but I'm not sure if DC5 would feel 'left out' if her name were not from the Bible.

Is it just pregnancy hormeones going mad?

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Only please don't call her Abishag. Biblical and beautiful though it may be.

I love Abigail, Tabitha and Eden - and I don't think they scream "bible name" in the same way that Mary or Martha might

mmm - biblical names aren't necessarily as obvious as, say, flower or nature themed names so I might be inclined to go for another biblical name in case she did wonder why hers was different from the others

i love behindthename.com for baby name ideas - here is a link to their biblical girls' names

i know of siblings two are themed the last not even close to theme she seems not to care whatsoever

I would probably feel obliged to disrupt the theme, but that's just my problem with themed family names

I can't imagine DC5 would feel left out by having a slightly different kind of name. Just go for the name you love!
