Hey ladies help needed I'm almost 32 weeks pregnant, DH and I have been useless at names.
Boys names don't inspire me at all I love classic pretty girls names but find the male equivalent, Henry, William etc not quite us Hmm
Names I like but don't know if I can commit too are

Malachi (my fave)
Reuben (family dislike)
Maxwell (DH dislikes)
Aaron (surname ends "on" so a bit rhymey)

Any suggestions?

Has your husband come up with any suggestions?

My eldest daughter is Sofia. I thought about Dominic, Joseph, Leo, Lawrence, Patrick, Michael & Nicholas for any younger brothers she may have had - she has 2 younger sisters Smile

Malachi was a name I'd actually considered for her!

How is Malachi pronounced? Is it MalaKEE or MalaKAI? Or neither ?? Sorry to be dense!

I've always liked MalaKAI, never seen it written down though.

It's pronounced malakee in Ireland I think

Onyabike · 26/04/2014 11:23

Sebastian is a great option.
How about Rufus, Gabriel or Raphael?

lucidlady · 26/04/2014 11:25

Oh no sorry it's Malachy that's pronounced malakee and Malachi is pronounced malakai!

I knew a Sophia at school. Her brothers were Dominick and Marcus. I was about 5, but I thought they were lovely names!
