Boys:
Mateo
Thomas
Brody
Diego
Max

Girls:
Aurora
Liliana
Logan
Inès
Ivy
Maia
Anais

Please feel free to suggest more name as there is not one name the whole family has agreed on yet Confused Smile

Mateo and Ines are my faves from your lists. I would struggle to pick a third if it was another boy but I like most of your girls names. Not Logan.

stucknoue 34, scheduled for Thursday but been told to keep an open mind it could be earlier. Hopefully not today because it’s my step-daughters sister on her mums side birthday and she doesn’t want to have to split herself between two houses for her siblings birthdays

I’m aware a lot of people would say no to Logan, I’ve met female Logan’s and it’s definitely a name that you have to meet a girl with it to like.

Ines is beautiful & one of my favourite names. Maia also works well with both British/Spanish heritage.i do know 2 girls called Logan so its v much a girls name to me. I would also suggest Giovanna.
Like all your boys list and would add Jorge to it.
Good luck!

SleepingStandingUp · 19/08/2019 08:12

Boys
Mateo - this for the definite boy
Brody - 2nd boy
Max - 3rd boy
Not keen on the rest at all

Girls:
Aurora - top girl
Maia - second girl
Liliana, Violet and Isla are lovely if you have any more 😂

SleepingStandingUp · 19/08/2019 08:14

once you’ve had one set of multiples the likelihood of having another increases
I'm never having sex again once I have these babies - pregnant with twins makes 3 babies. I do NOT want 6 😂😂

SleepingStandingUp Mateo has been a definite for the boy since the start of July, everyone loves it

Thought it would be useful if I added that our surname begins with a H and has three syllables and our other children are:
Step-daughter Louise
Isabella (9)
Emily (9)
Charlie (6)
Eilidh (5)

I agree with the poster who says don’t use the Same first initial.

And also about not having one Spanish name and two English or vice versa. So not Diago, Ines and Violet.

What about Sofía , Gabriella, Eva , Lucia , Sonia and Isabella as they work in both languages ?

Boys - Leo, Hugo, Lucas, Luka, Noah ?

M0RVEN · 19/08/2019 08:32

Oops didn’t see you have an Isabella already .

Now I’ve seen your other names I would definitely choose names that work in English .

And no to Logan for a DD as all your other names are more traditional .

LoonyLunaLoo · 19/08/2019 08:35

Mateo, Diego and Liliana
Or
Mateo, Liliana and Aurora

youarenotkiddingme · 19/08/2019 08:40

How about Tomás if there's Spanish connections?

Tomás
Max
Arthur

Ivy
Sophia
Maia

Congratulations btw. Sounds like you've had a massive journey.

IckleBear · 19/08/2019 09:25

I agree Mateo is lovely

Haworthia · 19/08/2019 09:30

So you have four classic “English” names and one Gaelic - don’t you think Spanish names might sound a bit jarring alongside the children you already have?

Anyway, good luck with everything. Multiple multiples... amazing.

IsobelRae23 · 19/08/2019 14:56

I’m no help, my suggestions are:-

Willow
Eden
Savannah
Piper
Harper
Luna
Nova

Avery
Baxter
Carter
Cole
Emmett
Fabian
Gideon
Grayson
Horacio
Nathaniel
Nate
Quinn
Rafe
Reid
Saul
Samson
Seth
Tate

LochJessMonster · 19/08/2019 15:02

I think with the names you already have (Emily etc) then Diego is going to seem odd. Matteo is my favourite of the boys names, and I also like Brody.

Girls - I like most of them, but none of them go with Diego.
I also like Lyla for a girl

Antonin · 19/08/2019 15:11

OP please do come back and tell us what you have and so we can congratulate you. Hope it’s a easy delivery.

KT2019 · 19/08/2019 15:27

Think all the names are lovely, but just here to correct everyone saying Brody is too American - it's as Scottish as Isla!! Blush

namechangedforthis1980 · 19/08/2019 15:40

Love Mateo!

RandDandC · 19/08/2019 21:41

I love Arthur, Mateo, Inés, Aurora and Violet.

SoxonFeet · 19/08/2019 21:48

Please don’t miss the opportunity to use Ines. It’s such a beautiful name. I like Mateo too.

Schuyler · 19/08/2019 22:20

”we already have 4 daughters (5 if you count my step-daughter) and 1 son“

Can we have the full list of names as you only mentioned stepdaughter Louise and your biological 4 (Isabella, Emily, Charlie and Eilidh) but you have 5 biological children? Or am I getting confused? I have 3 and I always call them the wrong names 🤣 and you’ve got double that already!

Louise Anne
Isabella Eve
Emily Hope
Charlie Jonathan
Rosie Jade
Eilidh June

Hello, congratulations on your triplets! Amazing!
How would you pronounce Ines? I have never come across the name before...I'm intrigued! Smile

MollyHuaCha · 20/08/2019 00:22

The Ines I know is pronounced Inn-ess.
