Elias, James and... ?

We are expecting a boy soon and are stuck for names!

We have Elias and James.

He likes Marcus, Sebastian, Zachary. I like Magnus, Lachlan and Edward. We can't agree on any of these...

Scottish and Cornish background so open to names from there, and prefer a consonant ending as our surname is vowel-heavy. We'd love your help!

I love Marcus to go with your other names

ChocolateCrunch · 09/04/2018 11:41

Favourite from your list is Magnus

BikeRunSki · 09/04/2018 11:42

Marcus

But Aidan came to mind.

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 09/04/2018 11:49

Gabriel.

If not Cassius or Magnus.

I love Zachary and Edward and think both go really well with your other names.

glitterbiscuits · 09/04/2018 12:33

I want someone to pick Edmund. I really like it but I’m too old to have any more.

Sebastian is a naughty boy name in my experience but then so is James! Smile I know one Elias and he is lovely.

Uniglo18 · 09/04/2018 13:26

Reuben is the first name that came to my mind.

BringMeCoffeePlease · 09/04/2018 13:33

I like them all other than Magnus OP. It just seems very try-hard and doesn’t go with your other sons’ names.

Marcus
Henry
Caleb
Callum
Grant
Victor

TamiTayorismyparentingguru · 09/04/2018 17:27

My first thought was Noah, but that goes against your ending with a consonant rule. Second thought was Ezekiel (shortened version Zeke). Or what about Linus? (I KNOW the Peanuts connotations but I love it and would have definitely used it if DH hadn’t vetoed it) Maybe too similar sounding to Elias though.

I really like your shortlist. Edward, Marcus and Sebastian were all contenders when we named ds. I think Marcus is my favourite.

DanceDisaster · 09/04/2018 19:34

I like Zachary too

Dogsrbarking · 09/04/2018 20:48

Morgan
Ezra

Before reading your post I was thinking Edward
Matthew?

finallychangedmyusername · 09/04/2018 21:34

I really like Louis to go with your other boys names. All five letters and ending in S but sounding different.

FinnegansCake · 09/04/2018 21:59

Magnus is a great name

chezmk1988 · 09/04/2018 22:24

Zachary to go with the other biblical names
