Hi all,
DP and I are still finding it so hard to pick a name we both like enough to want to use for dc4 (for me - dc1 for him!) and time is running down quickly!

Names we both like (so have made it onto the short list) are Reuben, Luca, Nathaniel.

My partner likes Ellis, Xavier and Leon. (I do not!)

I like Elijah, Levi and Asher (he does not!)

Help with suggestions gratefully received!

Your names are very religious choices. I guess he doesn't agree with that. At least you have a few you both like !

I like Reuben and Nathaniel.

Also Barnaby, Oscar, Otto, Jasper, Dominic and Sebastian.

I'm not so keen on Ellis and Elijah. Maybe it's just I'm not so into E names at the moment as it seems to be the letter of the moment and I'm a bit bored of E names (rather than disliking them). I like Xavier. I like Asher too. Of the other suggestions Isaac and Jonah are both nice. Reuben is great but quite popular isn't it? Along with Rowan and Rory. The Rs and the Es.

Elijah, Levi and Asher - too Old Testament
Ellis - ok
Xavier - like
Leon - prefer Leo
Luca - too trendy
Nathaniel - ok but too long
Reuben - ok but a bit wet-sounding

Alternatives: Leo, Benjamin, Elliott

Leon and Xavier are my favourites from your list.
Xavier Levi
Raphael Leon
Luke Daniel

I like Reuben and Nathaniel but none of the other options on your lists.

Love the suggestion of Isaac too and it has a nice meaning iirc
