Hi, dh and I are just wanting some suggestions on names that might go well with the rest of the family. Our children's names are Annie, August, Billie and Blake. And we are going to have a 5th child in January (so still plenty of time left to decide!)
We are leaving the gender as a surprise so all name suggestions are greatly appreciated!! Thanks xx

We quite like willow, but generally we are looking for older names that have hade a bit of a resurgence recently so they're kind of both old and modern.

Quentin for a boy! Derived from Latin for 5.

Clara or Stella for a girl.

A bit overused though.

uktired · 31/08/2019 13:16

Haha my name is Isabella so I think isaac might be overkill...

Hmm maybe but annie is quite popular too, we aren't afraid of a more common name

It'll also date, having come from nowhere into the top 100 and climbing, plus a Disney movie last year released with a Clara as the main character. I think it'll peak in popularity soon then disappear into obscurity again. It may not bother you, not given the rest of your names aren't that common I thought it was something worth mentioning in case it does.

Cameron
Castiel
Caleb
Cato
Curtis

Clara
Colette/cosette
Colleen
Candice

Clementine I also say.. would be a nice C name to go with the AABB and it’s an older name thats coming back. My niece is called Clemmie (a shortened form of that) and I think it’s unusual but pretty!

june2007 · 31/08/2019 13:43

If a girl Quinta for a boy Quintas. (They mean fith) Or how about Angela. (I am 5th too.)

Pippilangstrumpfi · 31/08/2019 13:58

Love Quentin for a boy! We have one in the family who's not a fifth born Smile

For a girl I like the suggestions of Rosa and Clara.

sleepylittlebunnies · 31/08/2019 14:02

Winter or January to fit with Birth time, or even Jane, Janet, Janetta, Janice or Jancy.

Other names that I think fit with old and modern are -
Cora
Collette
Cynthia
Enid
Joan
Gillian
Amy

James or Jim
Casper
Caesar
Xander
Charles
Christopher
Colin
Eric
Frederick
Ralph
Geoffrey

Love the suggestions of Quentin and Clementine!

MmeBufo · 31/08/2019 14:13

I was also coming to suggest Quinten/Quentin but (Fab as Quentin Blake is) it's maybe still best avoided in combination with Blake.

Gwen for a girl would be lovely

maryannay · 31/08/2019 14:15

Good point about Quentin Blake - hadn't seen the sibling names!
