Help naming DS4

48 replies

Currently 21 weeks pregnant with DS4 and are really struggling with names.

DSs are Noah, Seth & Eli.

We both like Caleb but it doesn't work with our surname. We also like Isaac but we have close friends locally who've used that name and I would be a bit bothered about popularity as there's lots round here (already made that mistake with Noah!)

The name doesn't have to be biblical, but does need to sit alongside the existing names without sounding weird iysyim. Also conscious that all of our other names are pretty short/easy to spell so seems a little unfair to go for a long complicated name for this one, although that wouldn't be a deal breaker for the right name.

I quite like Jonah, but is it too close to Noah? Also Jonas but DH not sold on the one.

Any ideas?!

Zephaniah

I used to work with a Zephan and he was ACE.

It was number 3 on my boys’ names list - absolutely bloody love it.

HJL2506 · 23/06/2018 16:48

Before I read the whole of your message I automatically thought Isaac. Oh hen said you couldn't. I think other names that may go with yours are:

Samuel
Joseph
Joshua
Ezra
Silas

I love Ellis.

Some great suggestions here. I like Silas and Adam. Not keen on Jacob and Oscar, as we have close friends with those names and v v popular where we are.

I actually love Zephaniah but can see that would end up being shorted to Zeph, which is too close to Seth!

Samuel is looking to be a likely middle name, as we like it, but not enough to use as a first name.

We did consider both Arlo and Ezra for DS3 but I have a feeling they're both going to end up a bit overdone.
