I Have Three Girls and I'm About To Have A Boy.

[AmyLouise86]

I'm heavily preganant with my fourth child and its going to be the first boy i have. Me and my partner are a little concerned that he is going to grow up overwhelmed by the amount of girls in the house. Furthermore we can't seem to settle on a name!!
All of our daughters name'a are pretty simple and basic but pretty at the same time. Ben (My partner) wants to try a more modern name this time but I'd rather go basic again. What do other people think? :)

i'd keep his name in line with your girls' names ... what are your daughters called?

I'm the eldest of 3 girls and a boy - my wee brother is great :) he's 7 years younger than me, and we get on surprisingly well!

anyway, my parents had a weird naming strategy - 1st 2 girls got unusual names, 3rd girl got very popular name, and brother got a family name, which is also very popular. brother and sister 2 both have names found in the royal family, my name is getting more popular, but is very scottish, and other sis got shakespearean name which is VERY unusual (but lovely).

My votes for classic boys names are Theodore, Edward, Alexander - can be shortened to Teddy/Eddie/Alex/Sasha, which are cute, but a sensible name for adulthood.

My Girls are called Jessica, Poppy and Holly. I actually quite like Eddie but i think my partner will find it too plain. He wanted to call him owen but spelt the irish way!
Were not even irish!! :P

We have more boys than girls in our house and it is fine most of the time . 2 of my children have classic names, one has a modernish name. I don't get the thing about names having to match. Both do a list and then see if you match with any.

Thats a good idea i will do :)
To be honest though i don't really know. I thought maybe Eddie, Tom or Sam?

Lovely names.

Jessica, Poppy, Holly and.....

Sam
Tom

Oooh spooky, honestly these names sprang to my mind before I read your last post!

Aww thank you. Yeah they go quite welli suppose. But is it too commen??
I dunno, i just didn't have this stress with teh girls :S

I think either Sam or Tom would be great. I hear the name Thomas quite a lot but less so Sam. Sam is one of my favourite boys' names ever!

Robin

Jessica, Poppy, Holly and...

Luke
Jack
George
Adam
Jacob
Zack

i have a boy after 4 girls. its a bit odd as the last 3 children names beging with S. and so does mine.

so we have

Nicole,
Lauren
Serena,
Sophie
steven.

OOh! I LOVE the name Jack... Hmmm
Not sure about Robin cus everytime i hear that name i think of Rodney out of only fools and horses :)

Stevens quite formal. Its also my dads name LOL :)

dh calls him Steve. I say stevie.

I've never met a Holly who didn't have a sister called Poppy. I know no fewer than 4 sibling sets with a Holly and a Poppy. Boys names from the same sets are Jack, Harry, Sam and Oliver.

Henry
Theo
Oliver
Jude
Will/William
Ted/Edward
Noah
Jamie/James
Harry
Billy

I Am really keen on Jack Now...
well it beats my husbands Romaro or Axel eh?

Vote for Jack!

I also know sisters Holly and Poppy! They considered Alex or Jack if 3rd had been a boy. I think any name would work with the 3 girls names - Ethan, Isaac, Noah, Daniel....

I love the name Jack, I know its very popular but its such a great name.

Jessica, Poppy, Holly and...

Zachary
