Recently discovered I am pregnant with my fourth child. I am currently considering Finn for a boy and Summer for a girl but I am looking for any suggestions of names that would go better with the names of my other sons. Cannot use Sebastian which is what I would have gone for but I will consider most suggestions that I get. Thanks!

I like Joshua, Tobias, Alexander and Sebastian, so we must have similar tastes.

I prefer Flynn to Finn. What about Euan?

I like Sebastian too, my backups (almost identical names for existing DSs) were Isaac and Zachary.

You can do whatever you like with a girl's name IMO as no 'tone' has been set Smile

Lovely names! !

Theodore, lucas, marcus?

pinkandsparklytoo · 11/01/2015 22:33

I like Flynn but it is the name of one of my sons friends.
I don't really like Euan or Gregory.
When I first had Alexander my post pregnancy brain kept trying to call him Alistair by mistake. And I do like Joseph. However I should have mentioned in my OP that I would like them to have their own initial, so A, J, M, T, and G names are out.

Sorry, not Theo

What month is your baby due? If it's September Summer won't sound right.

Nathaniel

(Nathan or Nat for short)

pinkandsparklytoo · 11/01/2015 22:42

My baby is due in August.
Zachary we have considered for each one, my DH prefers Zachariah which might be too much of a mouthful. Nathaniel and Reuben were on my shortlist for Alexander.

Francesca is always one of DH's girl suggestions, he likes Amelie and Jessica too which I am not overly keen on and don't fit the initial thing any more! If the boys had been girls the names I considered included Isabella, Anastasia, Anna, Emilia, Arianna, and Matilda.

I'm with palooza, was going to post Isaac and Zachary. Both go really well with existing boys names.

Madcatgirl · 11/01/2015 22:51

Edward!

Marcipex · 11/01/2015 22:51

I like your first choices, Finn and Summer are lovely.

Hugo is cute. Isaac is quite nice as is Caleb.
DH has said no to Lucas before, as well as Samuel and Edward. He likes Eddie though Hmm I don't think we can use William as our surname starts similarly and I think it might sound funny.

I'm following this thread with interest, I love the traditional biblical name types the most so Zachariah is my fav so far on this thread.

I do like Finn though and they suit existing DSs.

My daughter would be Isabella if it wasn't for her surname.
