3rd baby boy name

51 replies

Mlexapet · 15/05/2023 09:31

I'm due my 3rd baby boy in a few months and struggling for a name. My other boys are Jason and Robert. So I'm looking to MN for recommendations and suggestions. I've had 2 stillborns, a girl called Jessica and a boy called Christopher. I'd like to keep the name traditional but I'm also really into meanings. Jason means 'to heal' who came after losing Jessica. Robert means 'bright fame/glory' who came after Christopher. A name that begins with a different letter to J and R and ends different to N and T. I'm very much into individuality and separate identity between siblings. Is there such a name out there? Really stuck here...

David means "beloved" which I think is wonderful

My partner already has a son called David otherwise it would certainly be a contender.

Thank you. Always loved Michael and Nicholas. Not thought of Adam before though. My partner has a Stephen in the family and our cat is called Timothy so I don't think we can go for that one.

Second vote for Maxwell

WavingThroughYoWindow · 15/05/2023 11:21

Another vote for Maxwell...LOVE Max as a nickname.My son's full name is very similar but loathed on here 🤣But I love it

Thank you. I love Gabriel and Samuel. My partner's ex is called Sam(antha) though and I'm sure we've had this discussion before that he didn't want Sam references. Matthew is Jason's best friend so not a contender sadly.

Caleb is definitely on my list. Zachary was my late brother's name and wouldn't want to continue with that name. I like Liam although my partner is William so perhaps a bit samey. Lucas is also on my list now, thank you.

Great suggestions, thank you. Not even considered Asher. What a lovely name! Ethan is a classic and my cousin's name. Dominic is a nice name but have a bad experience with a man called Dominic in the past so that one's in the bin lol.
