I’m pregnant! Baby number 4 a happy surprise and only 8 weeks however we have started thinking about baby name but I’m a bit stuck I have an Ellie , Max and jack I like traditional names but I cannot think of any boys names that I like ,we do like Polly, Sophie & isobelle but are open to suggestions.. I didn’t think I’d be lucky enough to have another baby so i haven’t had any names in my head I will be finding out privately so will update in a couple of months the sex and the decided name 😀 x

Polly, Sophie & isobelle.
I really like Polly and Sophie but Isobelle looks odd.

MikeUniformMike · 30/08/2020 17:31

Isabel, Isabelle and Isabella are so popular.
The other names are diminutives so a long name sticks out.
Polly is a nn for Mary and Sophie is from Sophia.

For a boy I'd pick a shortish name. Ben would be apt if he's likely to be the last DC.

Out of your girls list i like Sophie the best and it goes well with Ellie max and Jack. Other girls names. Rosie, ruby, annie, lily, jenna, Katie, Lucy. Boys names:james, jake, chris, tom, Ben, John, ryan, alex, luke

Shutupyoutart · 30/08/2020 19:15

Oh and congrats op! :)

Fromthebirdsnest · 30/08/2020 21:57

I like Sophie best too my husband loves Polly so do I but prefer sophie/Sophia can't use Mary nm Polly as my sil s mum is called Mary and she's the oddest women I've ever met and we actually see her quite a bit .. My husband is SO fussy Ben is a no (had a neighbour with a pita dog called ben) Alex is a no even though I love it ,love Thomas is one of my sons middle names so can't really use which is a shame I love Thomas and Tom 😔 Chris, jake ,John and Ryan are close family names so they are out , I love Charlie but again close family plus we had a cat called Charlie 😂 x so stuck with boy names especially !

schafernaker · 30/08/2020 23:48

Like sophie, we couldn’t as have a relative with the same name so was between emma, Connie and phoebe for us

Boys names firm fave was thomas, but Finley (finn) Sebastian (Seb), Tobias (toby), Joseph (Joey) were also on the list

VenusClapTrap · 31/08/2020 10:04

Love Polly.

I think Adam goes really well with those names. Or Robert, nn Bob. I know a couple of baby Bobs and I think it’s a fab name.

Fromthebirdsnest · 31/08/2020 19:11

Yes maybe not another max 😂 x I love Elijah but obviously with Ellie I’m not sure if that’s an option.. quite like James but we had a friend die a few years ago of cancer called Jamie he went to school with my husband so I’m not 💯 sure whether he’d be on board , best friends son is Joey (Joseph) I love it but that’s out , my mums husband is Steve I love Stevie for a boy (Steven on BC)but I think it would upset my dad ... I think I need a girl or to be estranged from everyone so I’ve got more options 😂 x keep them coming lovely ladies x

Oooh I like Benjamin (benji) my husband may have to get over the old neighbors dog association .. and I love Samuel too my littlest used to call all his toys Sammy so it would be a lovely reminder of that ... I REALLY love Sophie it’s at the top of my list and Polly , I love Jessica too ... I’ll probably use either Alice as a middle name or maybe Jessica is we don’t use it as a first name x
