Hello there!

I actually found this forum when googling Lily Allen's baby name! I'm not pregnant and don't have any children. I do work as an emergency nanny so I guess I thought this website might be useful for my job.

But the real reason I'm here is that my aunt and uncle are having baby number five in April. They are technophobes so I said I'd ask on here for suggestions. They have three boys and one girl (in that order) and won't know the sex of the baby until it's born. The children they already have are called Kyle, Nathan, Steven and Faith and they have a long surname beginning with C. So they want something short and 'sensible' which doesn't begin with a C. They are Christians so may lean more towards biblical names.

Any suggestions out there?

Mary, Sarah, Ruth, Grace, Verity, Vera, Eve, Zoe, Helen, Anne, Theresa, Maura, Agnes, Magda, Madeleine, Rose, Dorothy, Naomi, Esther, Jemima, Leah, Rachel, Rebecca?

Thank you! I think they did consider Rebecca last time but their surname is three syllables so it sounded very long. It's a definite possibility for the middle name (it's a family name) though.

From list I think the only one they'd consider is Leah.

I usually have a few suggestions for them but this time round I just have no idea :/

Oh and my uncle has final say on the name if it's a girl, my aunt decides if it's a boy.

Hannah, Bethany, Abigail, Candace, Martha, Lydia, Susanna, Eden, Hope, Joanna, Lois

Hannah was considered when their little girl was born so that's probably an option. Hope would be weird with Faith as a sister! I think anything with more than two syllables is ruled out (they vetoed Emily for that reason).

Did I mention they don't know what the baby's going to be? They might have another boy...

I just looked through the top 100 on the phone with them and they dislike most of them! Possibles were:

Girl - Chloe, Lucy, Megan, Georgia (this was a strong fave last time), Nicole

Boy - Daniel, Alex, Lucas, Michael

I'm trying to be objective for their sake!

Baby number 5 - how about Quentin (derived from latin for fifth)?
