... Aidan and Barnabas. DS 4 is due in October. We had three boys' names that we agreed on. We have used them all up :)

I currently like:
Benedict
Gabriel
Jacob
Cosmo
Judah
Elias

I like names that are "proper" names and don't sound made up, IYSWIM, but are unusual and won't date. We didn't manage too well there with Aidan Wink

All suggestions gratefully received.

I love all of those but Benedict is awesome and I also love Gabriel.Felix would fit with those names too as would Sebastian.

Benedict, Louis

I like Cosmo and Elias I like it that all names have a different first letter.

I think you need to find something that goes better with Aidan as the other two names go together and go with all the options you have given - which will make Aidan stand out even more.

What about something like Nathan, James or Dale

ilovegreenbeans · 09/06/2012 20:33

Lawrence
Hector
Francis
Raphael
Montgomery (Monty)

slightly random list, but maybe helpful?

BikeRunSki · 09/06/2012 20:34

Patrick
Jonah
Louis
Philip
Matthew
Nathaniel

I love Sebastian, it's Barnabas' middle name :) Felix is nice but we have cats and it makes me think of cat food!! I like James too and you don't meet to many of those. Hmm.

Ooh, Raphael!! Love Montgomery too. I could end up with quite a list here!!!

I think of Aidan as timeless - Northumbrian saints (kings?) & all.

James is great. I like everything from your list except Cosmo (wanky) & Judah (dunno why not).

Definitely Gabriel. Its a fab name!

poppydaisy · 09/06/2012 22:35

Tristan
Lysander
Fabian
Quentin
Marcus

GnocchiNineDoors · 09/06/2012 22:43

You shoudl go with a C name so their initials are A, B, C and D

Or, what about
George
Christian
Edmund
Rupert

hatebeak · 09/06/2012 22:59

I thought Nathaniel, too, or Robin, but Gabriel, Jacob and Benedict fit nicely. Cosmo is great, but could be hard to carry off!

I love those names suggested by greenbeans.

Lawrence and Monty in particular.

I love all those choices! Benedict is also on my list- Cosmo is awesome!

mathanxiety · 11/06/2012 18:00

I would suggest Jonas, Anthony and Fergus.
Love Conor and Thaddeus too.

I love your list although Jacob is very popular.
