Hi there, this is a bit of an update thread but with more queries really! I seem to be stumped at only a handful of boys name when i realise there are millions out there to choose from. We all like Harry although my dh thinks too popular, im not sure "goes" with siblings names but love it, but my two little boys are very keen on it and dont like many other suggestions! I like Harry, Oliver, Elijah, Josiah,(although very much dislike nn joe) Ezekiel (like the nn zekie) so thats 5 names. My other boys have middle names gabriel, joseph, james and charlie. Dont really want to duplicate any middle names as first names although love them all. We are a christian family and whilst i love biblical names and these would be my first choice i dont want to be limited by them. Does harry or oliver sound odd with two other biblical names? All opinions and ideas please xxx

Aww that must be difficult, but you have a strong faith so with lots of prayers, I'm sure he will be fine Grin

I love Reuben! Have PM'd you, Pussy

LucyLasticBand · 15/02/2014 09:30

oh i missed your post op.
best of luck.

BabyStone · 15/02/2014 09:33

Benjamin (but I am biased )
how about Boaz? (Biblical)
Lucas?
Matthew
Elijah
Samuel
Jacob

HarderToKidnap · 15/02/2014 09:35

Zephaniah, nn zeph or Zephy. Coolest nn ever.

NightCircus · 15/02/2014 09:37

Elijah Reuben Oliver or
Reuben Elijah Oliver?
Then both you're favourite names and a classic middle name too?

Elliott might be a non biblical option?

kasbah72 · 15/02/2014 09:37

I think Caleb sounds great with your other names. Otherwise what about Adam?

Twirlymooostache · 15/02/2014 09:38

Abe
Levi
Jamin
Simeon

I think Peter is a lovely name too.

dramajustfollowsme · 15/02/2014 09:39

First thought Jacob or Adam

SantasLittleMonkeyButler · 15/02/2014 09:43

You have two of my three favourite boys names already OP! Both sadly vetoed by DH for our DSs though.

My other favourite name is Jacob - which goes SO well with Noah & Isaac. Far less popular than Oliver or Harry too.

Hope all goes well for you xx

laura2323 · 15/02/2014 09:44

Eli ?!

ReallyLoveWine · 15/02/2014 09:45

We have a Matthew. Have always loved the name. He was really poorly after birth and is now an amazing, healthy year old. Good luck xx

ReallyLoveWine · 15/02/2014 09:46

Oops 4 year old!!

Eastpoint · 15/02/2014 09:47
