Brother for Florence and Sebastian

[SnookyPook]

Hi all!

We've just found out we've another boy on the way and I'd love your thoughts on names to go with our other kids:

Florence Cecelia
Sebastian James

Some names we quite like:
Alexander, Nathaniel, Frederick, Joshua... Possibly Hugo, Gabriel, Samuel

Previously liked Arthur but worried it's a bit too popular at the moment?

We like George but it's my FiL's name - may go with for middle name.

Henry is cute but is a family dog name!

Benjamin was sadly a late term loss for one of my SiLs which rules it out and probably also rules out Benedict which we kind of liked.

Little man is a triple rainbow for us after three losses last year so I quite like the idea of a name with a bit of deeper meaning but struggling a little..

Thoughts? ☺️

Jacob was my first thought, from your list I would say Gabriel.

I love Alexander, Frederick, Samuel, Arthur and George (George, Arthur and Sebastian are my favourite boys names!)

Other ideas

Zachary
Max
Alexander
Louis
Harry
Edward
Isaac
Henry
James
Elijah
Joseph
Jacob

Hugo was my first thought, lovely name and goes with with Florence and Sebastian. Alexander as a middle name - Hugo Alexander. Congratulations on your pregnancy

Congratulations!

Arthur, George, Henry, Frederick and now Alexander are all v popular

I like Nathaniel a lot and Gabriel, prefer Hugh to Hugo

Alistair
Rufus
Patrick
Miles
Issac
Tobias
Marcus
Rafe
Guy
Robert (Robin)
Philip (Pip)
Nicholas (Nico)
Raphael
Matthias
Uther

might be others

Alexander and Nathaniel are both excellent, can I add Dominic and Alistair?

Adding Felix to your list, lovely names!

Marcus ?
Thomas means brother so our ds3 has it as a second name
Lucas
Julian
Edmund

Nathaniel Benedict George

Two middle names cute. Benedict means miracle.

Or Nathaniel Alexander

Barnaby George

Rupert

Florence, Sebastian and

jude
leonard
theodore
elliott
casper
jasper
christopher
Evander

Frederick, Hugo from you list.

I also like Theodore and Alexander.

Felix, it also means happy/ fortunate so very appropriate given your circumstances :)

Alexander Jonas

Florence is one of my fav names for a girl and me and DH have a close family friend of ours is called Sebastian "Seb" great name and his younger brother is Alexander "Alex" so I would probs pick that first. I also like Samuel that has always been on my list for both my DS

Ah thanks everyone!

Lots of lovely names added to the mix for us to think about!

@Moreteaandchocolate we obviously have very similar taste!

@Namechangenamechanged ooh I do like the sound of Hugo Alexander 👍🏼

@cyclamenqueen ooh yes, Thomas and Edmund are others we had mentioned. Hmm

@Newsenmum yes, the meaning of Benedict is partly why I loved it. Good idea to contemplate it for the middle name 👍🏼

@TokyoSushi @Scrambledchickens My sister's little boy is actually Félix so that one is taken, but agree, it's a lovely meaning!

@SophiaRose35 I do love Samuel... It is one of my cousin's names but I don't think that would matter too much.

Lots of food for thought - thanks everyone!

I clicked because Alexander popped in to head as matching your SC. Alexander George is lovely.

How about Duncan? It means dark warrior. After your losses, it seems like you could be doing with a wee warrior.

Florence, Sebastian and Nathaniel was the first thing that sprang to mind, and I see that it's on your list.

So I'd call him Nathaniel Luke

Love that so many instinctively went with Alexander or Nathaniel! I feel like we've got a good shortlist at least. Another few months to decide 🥰

What about Gabriel Arthur? Has a lovely ring to it and incorporates two names you love.

With Florence Cecelia and Sebastien James, I like...
Alexander George 10/10
Alexander Hugo 9/10
Samuel Arthur 9/10
Hugh Alexander 9/10

Alistair

Hugo and Arthur are really common where I am. Hugo now almost feels like a lazy generic name given to any middle class boy.

Love suggestions of Thomas and Edmund. Also Alexander, Gabriel, Joseph, Christopher and Benedict.

Lucas, Julian and Edmund are three of my favourite names for boys, so I would certainly give a thumbs-up to all of them. Thomas and Marcus are nice too.

Out of the names the OP has already suggested, I like Alexander, Nathaniel, Joshua and Samuel the most.

I can only really suggest the names that I most favour for boys, so I’d personally add on:

Andrew (I also really like the diminutive of Andy.)
Peter
Gareth
Robin (comes from being a Bee Gees/Robin Williams fan)
Maurice (comes from being a Bee Gees fan)
Gaheris - but that may be a little too uncommon
