We have a son and daughter, so wasn't really planning on any more. However, we just couldn't resist Grin there is an 8 year age gap, between him and our son

He arrived last week. We have spent this week narrowing the names down.

The list is:

  • Benjamin
  • Daniel
  • Isaac
  • Matthew
  • Oliver

Our other children are Elliot and Gabriella.

I've also changed my username (I found out how Grin) x

CONGRAULATIONS! Isaac was my initial choice but also think Daniel & Matthew are great choices!

What would help is a photo Wink

Raines100 · 05/07/2016 18:45

Oh, we can't possibly give name advice without a photo Grin

Congratulations!!!

cosmicglittergirl · 05/07/2016 18:49

Oliver.
Congrats!

MrsHathaway · 05/07/2016 18:49

Daniel

Because I'm a sucker for "matching" sets and the others both have "el" names.

Congratulations on your squishy newborn. Tickle his toes from me!

Awwww!!! He's adorable!!! Flowers

Benjamin or Oliver, I think.

Awww...

BendydickCuminsnatch · 05/07/2016 18:59

Aw how divine! CHEEKS!!

I really think he's a Matthew!

ButtfaceMiscreant · 05/07/2016 19:01

He looks like a Matthew.

Gorgeous!

WasDat · 05/07/2016 19:02

Those cheeks! I love Benjamin. Flowers

NopeSorry · 05/07/2016 19:04

Thank you! His cheeks are huge Grin his whole head is and didn't I feel it

It's really hard, we like all of them, so will probably go with the majority!

Oh dear...can't you just call him Gorgeous & be done with it?

He's positively edible 💐

Day to day, what do you call the other two?

daisydalrymple · 05/07/2016 19:04

Matthew.
Gorgeous Smile congratulations.
Love your names.
I'd go with Daniel or Oliver as a middle name if you're having one.

NopeSorry · 05/07/2016 19:08

We call the others El/Els/Elly and Gab/Gabs/Gabby, but tend to stick with Elliot and Gabriella.

Yep, we will be giving him a middle name.

Congratulations, he's adorable! All those names are great. Some of my friends with Olivers get all huffy about them being call Olly if that would bother you. Abbreviations wish I haven't heard any Isaac abbreviations and I personally prefer Matt or Dan to Ben(ny) and Olly. Are they all ok with your surname. DS knows a Ben Dover, I kid you not.

Joinourclub · 05/07/2016 19:12

I think Isaac goes well with your other children's names

MrsEricBana · 05/07/2016 19:12

Wise not wish.

MrsEricBana · 05/07/2016 19:13

Olly & Elly - no!

NerrSnerr · 05/07/2016 19:15

I like Isaac.

I also want another baby now. Congratulations- he is adorable.

NopeSorry · 05/07/2016 19:15

We don't frequently call him Elly Smile it's just something that we occasionally use! Is Elly and Olly really bad?

Last name is a -son name and starts with H. I think they all sound fine!

OP posts:
MrsHathaway · 05/07/2016 19:19

Elly and Olly would be pretty bad, yes.

I still vote Daniel!

NoncommittalToSparkleMotion · 05/07/2016 19:21

I say Benjamin or Oliver.

Congrats! Flowers

NopeSorry · 05/07/2016 19:22

But then is Danny and Gabby too similar?

OP posts:
sidsgranny · 05/07/2016 19:27

Congratulations! He's beautiful. All your names are lovely (no help I know!). What do Elliot and Gabriella think their new brother should be called?

NickyEds · 05/07/2016 19:31

I think he's an Isaacs and that matches your other dc's names. He beautiful. I need another baby!

ExtraHotLatteToGo · 05/07/2016 19:31

Then I'd go with Benjamin or Matthew from your list 😊
