DS3 is due in a few weeks - these are our narrowed down final choices. Which one do people prefer? To go with brothers Maxwell (Max), David and sisters Julia, Hannah. Middle name will be Joseph, surname is Costa. Thank you

Patrick

Patrick. Lovely name. Paddy is a good nickname too.

Peter!

I like both but think Patrick sounds better with your surname,

Kanaloa · 30/09/2020 00:09

I think Patrick is nicest.

Peter. (I have a Peter).

I vote Patrick Costa, sounds awesome.

Peter Costa sounds a bit like "Pentecost".

I prefer Peter.

Both lovely names but I think Patrick goes better with your surname (as long as you don't call him 'Trick').

I came on to say Peter but seeing middle name and surname Patrick flows much better

Love both but Peter if you’re not Irish.. I always expect a Patrick to be from an Irish family but that’s just me x

I prefer Patrick - I find Peter a bit bland.

VenusClapTrap · 07/10/2020 22:38

Peter. I like both names but Patrick doesn’t work with your surname because of the clunky c c sound.

Patrick.

Peter

MercyBodle · 08/10/2020 00:36

Both good names and both work well with the siblings. I like Patrick more but think Peter goes better with the surname - but not a big deal. Not much help here!

I've been watching a lot of Schitt's Creek. Patrick is an absolute doll. I'd go Patrick. (Terrible reason to choose a baby name, I know.)
