Surprise Baby needs a name

64 replies

Hello!

We already have three daughter´s which were all conceived via ICSI. This baby was conceived naturally and we are still surprised especially because I am already 42.

Isadora = Gift of the moon; *2011
Estella = Star; *2015 (twin of Marisol)
Marisol = Loved sun child; *2015 (twin of Estella)

This pregnancy is a total surprise and we now know it is a boy. We always thought that our children were given us from heaven and because of that we would love a name that goes with the siblings names nicely.

Thanks in advance

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Thank you so much for names so far. I will ask my husband for his opinion

Jovian or Jovan. Which both mean father of the sky and form of Jove from Jupiter.

Twisique · 22/08/2020 12:30

Helios

Sallyspoons · 22/08/2020 12:34

Benedict means “blessing”

Fishfingersandwichplease · 22/08/2020 12:34

I would go for Gabriel - love it!

TheSeasideSlide · 22/08/2020 12:35

Dorothea (Girl) / Theodore (Boy) - same meaning - gift from God

PrincessSarene · 22/08/2020 12:38

What about Orion to follow the sky/star theme?

bluegreen132 · 22/08/2020 13:24

What about Asher which means blessing or fortunate. I think that would go lovely with your other children's names!

78Helena · 22/08/2020 13:52

A girl would have been Celeste

Gabriel is a beautiful Name. Michael is our Nephew.

Orion is a name I do not like
Benedict is on the list now
Asher does not really fit
Dorothea I still feel unsure about it

Some nice suggestions here.

Many congratulations @78Helena! Another vote for Cosmo here 😄 Also, there is a lovely thread running for older pregnant Mums, which I'll link. Really supportive and welcoming.

Thread 2 for us classed as more mature pregnant ladies www.mumsnet.com/Talk/pregnancy/3959979-Thread-2-for-us-classed-as-more-mature-pregnant-ladies

RainbowRaine · 22/08/2020 14:15

Adriel means ‘God sent’.

I actually like this suggestion, I think it goes well with the other names.

MrsGrindah · 22/08/2020 14:16

Why are people suggesting names for girls when OP has already said its a boy?

42 isn’t that old to have a baby anymore. It’s quite an average age now.

I don’t think Aggie and Maggie will be jangling on the street corner about how socked they are. If you if you 52 I’d get your shock. I

CabernetSoWhat · 22/08/2020 15:32

I wouldn't call a boy Dorothea.

What about:
Celestin
Cyrus
Sol

Pieceofpurplesky · 22/08/2020 15:43

Ezekiel. Strength of God. Zeek as a nn.
Zachariah. God remembers. Zach as a nn

78Helena · 22/08/2020 15:48

@CabernetSoWhat

Celestin

no I would use Theodor/e

Celestin is something to think about. Thank you

How about Lucien (bringer of light)?

Or Jasper (a gemstone).

We are shocked. One about the age and two that it happened at all naturally

I’m nearly 45 and I honestly don’t think I or anyone around me would turn a hair. We’re all different though.

Sertchgi123 · 22/08/2020 15:54

Gabriel, Zacharias, Reuben, Jacob, Isaac, Gideon
