A brother for Oliver and Isaac

Our third son is now over two weeks old and still has no name! We already have an Oliver and an Isaac. Baby has ginger hair and soft delicate features and I’d like a name that reflects this. I liked Charlie but not sure it suits him. My partner likes Elliott but I’m worried it sounds too similar to the word idiot. We both think Samuel/Sam is nice but maybe a little “boring”. Any suggestions? Thanks

I thought Jacob too. And Noah and Rufus.
He sounds scrummy.

Also like Max.

Love Jacob!

Samuel is fine but a bit meh. Charlie is nice and I prefer it to Elliot.

What are you calling your baby?

Gottalovesummer · 09/03/2021 15:57

Eddie is lovely and goes well with your other sons names I think

I meant now whilst you decide on a name.

Samuel is gorgeous and less popular than Oliver or Isaac! It also fits well as a sibset imo. Similar options could be Adam, Gabriel, Daniel or Nathaniel.

Or obviously especially for redhead, Rufus or Rowan would be lovely. If You want more unusual sounding maybe Tristan, Evan or Maxim?

Sam is great.

Redhead would suggest Rufus or Rory to me.

Wildcard: Gabriel?

For a little redhead consider Rory meaning red king.
