Baby boy names?

I am having my third child in July, and we still haven't chosen a name! We have two girls, 13 and 16, first and middle names "Katherine Jane" and "Elizabeth Ruth". We are considering a more modern sounding name for baby three. So far we have thought of "Zachary Aaron", "Alexander Daniel", and "Jasper Kane", or any combination. Would appreciate any help/ more suggestion! Thank you.

I really like all your choices! I think I like Alexander Daniel the best.

Alexander Daniel

BelievinForAMiracle · 18/05/2020 18:34

I like your choices! I like Zachary Aaron best. Or Zachary Daniel.

AdaColeman · 18/05/2020 18:34

Jasper is my favourite from your list, but I don’t think it goes well with Kane (which I’m not keen on). What about Keir instead, which also has an up to date feel?
I think Zachary Aaron is a bit overpoweringly Old Testament though individually they are nice names.

BelievinForAMiracle · 18/05/2020 18:36

More suggestions on a similar theme: Reuben, Samuel, Malachi. Joseph.

BelievinForAMiracle · 18/05/2020 18:37

I love the Old Testament feel. You obviously need to weigh up how it sounds with your surname

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 18/05/2020 18:38

Zachary Aaron is lovely!

123Dancewithme · 18/05/2020 19:23

Alexander is perfect with Katherine and Elizabeth.

Spied · 18/05/2020 19:25

Alexander Daniel

Froggiebop · 18/05/2020 19:32

Jasper Kane! Brilliant name

IckleBear · 19/05/2020 09:12

Zachary Daniel! :)

TheVanguardSix · 19/05/2020 09:15

Jasper Kane

autumnkate · 19/05/2020 09:16

I really dislike Kane and it seems out of keeping with your other names.

Others are lovely.

WildCherryBlossom · 19/05/2020 09:21

As a combination I like Alexander Daniel best. It goes well with your daughter's names too.

Individually my favourite first name from your list is Jasper but I can't warm to Kane. It sounds a little harsh to me. (FYI Jasper is very popular at the moment. There are 3 in my youngest child's class!)

Whatsyourflava · 19/05/2020 09:53

Jasper Daniel would be nice. Alexander fits nice with your older daughters names though it's hard to choose!

SnowdropFox · 19/05/2020 10:48

Alexander Daniel out of those three. I agree with others that Jasper is lovely but doesn't really go with Kane. It sounds a bit severe to me. Maybe Jasper Alexander or Daniel.

Helskitchen · 19/05/2020 12:18

I like Alexander and Jasper from your list. I also think Benjamin, Dominic and Sebastian would fit with your girls names/style.

Flappingflamingo · 19/05/2020 12:19

Isaac would fit as well I think

CatteStreet · 19/05/2020 12:23

Kane's awful, and Jasper is just about to trend in a big way - it'll be the early 2020s' Arlo.

Alexander Daniel is great - he won't be stand-out unique but it's not faddily popular.

I like Aaron but for some reason I've never been that keen on Zachary. Reuben and Isaac are good.

Your daughters' names (if those are the real names and not just examples of the 'feel' - you put them in quote marks) are lovely.

mamablondie2 · 24/05/2020 17:11

What about old school Biblical names (like Zachary) which have become popular again. I love Zachary but if you need other ideas:

Jacob
Noah
Jude
Jonah
Aaron
Samuel (I’ve always loved Sam, similar appeal to Daniel imo)

So many lovely names of this kind, I really love your choices!

ClementineTangerine · 24/05/2020 17:16

I think they're all good choices, Alexander is my favourite then Zachary. Nothing wrong with Jasper either just prefer the other two Smile
