So we found out this morning we're having our third boy. I'm so pleased he's gorgeous and healthy although I must have wanted a girl a little more than I had thought... still processing how I feel.

So this leads me to names!

We already have a Felix and a Theodore and I have the following list:

Augustin (Gus)
Reuben
Christopher (Kit)
Otto (can I have an Otto and a Theo though?)

These are all fabulous with the last name, which is notoriously difficult to work with.

I also really love Ari but the last name ends in the ee sound and I'm not sure about a name that sounds like Ari Luckee.

Do you have more suggestions for me?

I can't have: Charlie, Oscar, John, Hugo, Sebastian, Julian, Christian, Julius or Luca.

Seb, Gabe, Seth
Congratulations by the way!

Christopher / Kit is to die for! You must call him that. Perfect cheeky younger brother name too.

Congrats! You already have two of my favourite names. Grin

I would pick Otto from your list, but my next name would be Monty.

Love Ruben.

Why not just Gus?!

Assuming you call your other kids, Felix, Theo i think Gus flows nicely.

Felix, Theo & Ruben also flows nicely on the tongue.

Don't like the others, christopher is nice but it wont go with the others because of it's many syllables, also i think Kit is a feminine name.

Otto again is nice, but like you said doesnt roll on the tongue well with Theo.

I love Reuben, alone and with your other boys' names! Btw, my 3rd boy is the most hilarious entertaining kid, wouldn't trade him for 10 pinks. Smile

Your 3 boys are going to have a great time together! I love your boys names and think that Felix, Theo and Reuben sounds great. Also love Quentin and Christopher.

Thanks all so much for your feedback. I have to say I think Reuben is my frontrunner - I only hope I can get my husband to agree. He would be Reuben Christopher.

I don't think I'll easily get over not using Kit though, so it's a toss up. I don't know any girls called Kit but I know ones called Kitty. Kit is a well-known boy nickname, although I get that it hasn't fallen out of use a little - not feminine at all :)

Yes I know a Kit, he's 14 and lovely.

HereLittleKitty · 24/09/2012 10:41

I have a Felix. great name.

I also have a Dexter :)

Hedwig3 · 25/09/2012 11:13

I like Kit and I am getting the impression this is what you really want.

Use it with or without Christopher (without if you really don't want people to use it when they decide they don't like Kit!)

I think having the name that matters to you will help you feel better Thanks

Im with gugglebum - my third boy is such a character - so jovial and everyone knows him.

3 boys is amazing - congratulations. So good I went on to have a fourth!

"Use it with or without Christopher (without if you really don't want people to use it when they decide they don't like Kit!)"

Sorry, but that is dreadfully selfish. Suppose the boy himself doesn't like Kit? Christopher gives him some elbow room.

Of the names I like Augustin very much. If Gus doesn't suit him, there is also Tino.
