I found out today I'm having my fourth (EEEK!) boy. We already have Noah, Finlay & Oscar. I have used all of my favouite boy names and am completely stuck!

Please throw some suggestions at me.

Congrats! Four boys here too Grin

Thank you all! I'm only 24 weeks so have plenty of time to decide.

On the list so far is Theo, Isaac, Felix, Jago, Toby, Leo, Jasper, Caspar and Amos. DH seemed keen on Felix but I'm not so keen on having two F names. Amos and Isaac are maybe too Biblical, and although we have a Noah we are not religious. I prefer Tobias to just Toby but that ruins my two syllable thing.

Congratulations!!

If I had had a boy he was going to be called Fraser.

Dont think anyone here has suggested it yet...

Bumpsadaisie · 02/11/2010 14:33

Ivo

Ezra

Thomas

randomimposter · 02/11/2010 14:44

2 syllables, and not one of your existing names...
Jerome (nn Jem)

Janus · 02/11/2010 19:35

Was going to say Ethan too, someone already did. What about Nate? Unusual, and only one syllables. We have 3 girls and pregnant with 4th, don't know what we're having but know we will also struggle with finding another girl's name!

4th boy needs a good strong name...my faves Cameron and Hugh

wideratthehips · 02/11/2010 19:51

and just think you get to be the queen bee with Four gorgeous teenage boys.. Grin

thefirstmrsDeVeerie · 02/11/2010 20:27

I am thinking Peggy Mitchell or Minnie Kray personally. But then I do live in the East End Grin

BerryLellow · 02/11/2010 20:28

I'm definitely a fan of Jago :)

jobobpip08 · 02/11/2010 20:51

Gilbert! And I'm struggling with a name for my third DS.

fannybaws · 02/11/2010 21:26

Have four boys too and pregnant at the moment am loving Harris, Oisin, Elliot and Sam.

3nearly4 · 02/11/2010 21:51

Hugo. What do you think of Hugo?

Does it fit well with the others? Or too posh sounding?

fannybaws · 02/11/2010 22:14

I think it fits really well, nice sounding not posh.
I always imagine myself shouting the name across a playground to see if it fits iyswim

RememberToPlaywiththeKids · 02/11/2010 22:34

i love the name hugo!

soda1234 · 02/11/2010 22:44

Hugo, Owen or Edward, also love Will(iam),Ned and Ted!

Highlandgirl · 02/11/2010 23:15

I love your boys names...so cute. Please don't take this the wrong way..but most of the Noah, Finlay & Oscar's I've meet have been quite..well...well spoken! Smile So I think Hugo doesn't seem at all out of place. If you're worried about the 'posh' levels..Hugh...!

Out of your list, i like:
Theo, Isaac, Felix, Toby, Leo, Jasper, Caspar.

Dislike:
Jago: I knew a Jago once and he was a total wally..!
Amos: Doesn't really flow with your 3 boys when said out loud. It also makes me think of a cowboy mid-west film (which could be quite cool with 4 boys...!!) or Ruby Heart's husband in the musical Chicago, he was a bit wet. Can't seem to shift that out of my head.

4 boys...superwomen

anonymosity · 02/11/2010 23:21

I LOVE the name Saul. I wanted it but it didn't go with our last name.

Its a good one with the names you already have.

BlackeyedZombiedog · 02/11/2010 23:25

If I were to have more boys (I won't) they would be

Caspar
Herbie
Fabian

spiderlight · 02/11/2010 23:29

Isaac was the first name to jump into my head. What about Reuben, Elliott or Lucas?

chipmonkey · 03/11/2010 00:59

Oh, I like Fabian! I went to school with a bad Fabian!WinkGrin

Keziahhopes · 03/11/2010 01:11

From the names on your list I like Isaac,Leo,Hugo and Jasper best.

How about:
Giles
Marcus
Nathan
Owen (but maybe too similar to Oscar?)
Jayden/Jadon

Congratulations!
