I'm due a baby boy quite soon and we haven't found a name we have loved. Names that have come up so far have been..

Ray
Jude
Raphael
George

We already have Pearl and Gabriel so something that would go well with their names. Would appreciate any suggestions!

Love Jude!

MunsteadWood · 27/12/2022 16:49

I'd choose Jude or George to go with your other names. Ray doesn't seem to fit somehow, less keen on Raphael (but that's just my preference!)

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 27/12/2022 16:52

Pearl, Gabriel and
Elijah. Noah. Jenson. Ezekiel. Finbar. Elliot. Vincent. Alexander. Conrad.
Tobias. Lucian. Nathan. Casper.

CornedBeef451 · 27/12/2022 16:52

Castiel?

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 27/12/2022 16:53

I was also going to suggest Jude but noticed you've already listed it.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 27/12/2022 16:54

Caleb. Moses. David.

Jude is lovely and sounds lovely with your other two.

How about Judah instead of Jude? I think it sits better with Pearl and Gabriel. Otherwise I think a 2 syllable name like Andrew, Matthew, Winston, Wilfred, Wilbur, Louis.

Ray and Raphael are great.

George is common.

Jude reminds me of JUDE (Jew) written on yellow stars during the Holocaust.

Jonah
Micah
Danny
Adam

This is funny - if I’d had a girl she would have been Pearl. I had a boy and my choices were Gabriel or Arie. I chose Arie but it was a close call. I like Christian with your existing names.

bluechameleon · 27/12/2022 18:34

I'd choose Jude from your suggestions. George seems too ordinary, Ray seems too different and Raphael is a bit too match with all the 'l' endings. I'd also suggest Sebastian, Elliot or Reuben.

ThePoetsWife · 27/12/2022 18:38

Raphael goes with these names best - I like the idea of having all three names ending in a L

delfttulipvase · 27/12/2022 18:39

What about Jonah or Ezra?

Love Pearl and Gabriel, OP!

Luana1 · 27/12/2022 18:44

How about Jasper, Rowan, Otto or Silas?

Raphael and Gabriel are quite matchy which would be fine if poor Pearl wasn't the odd one out, not being named after an angel..

musicandpassion · 27/12/2022 18:47

Oh please not Ray. Imagine your siblings having beautiful and dramatic names like Pearl and Gabriel, and your name is... Ray.
I love Jude.

JamSandle · 27/12/2022 18:47

Raphael

GalwayShawl · 27/12/2022 18:55

Have a Gabriel and a Rafael and get compliments all the time on their names

However given you went off biblical script with Pearl 😍 - I’d go for Jude I think

good luck 🤞

SnackyOnassis · 27/12/2022 18:59

Raphael with the nickname of Rafe would be gorgeous. Also (and I know it's not really viable as people would call the Florida city to mind rather than the Woolf novel) Pearl, Gabriel and Orlando has a really great ring to it. I once met an Orfeo (Or-Fay-Oh) which also has a suitably classical feel.

Pearl is pretty religious - it’s used symbolically in early English literature.
