He could come any day now!! I’m so stuck on names 😭.
We have 2 daughters already, Clover and Charlotte.
Some of my name taste is maybe a bit unusual but I do also like classics too.
Our list :
Ellis
Wren
Emory
Spencer
Percy (Is it too old man?)
Robin
Seth
Rowan
Warren

Clover, Charlotte and Rowan.

I like Rowan the most. If I had a little boy I would have called him Zaine.

saidthebellsofstclements · 23/08/2024 20:52

I love Percy! From your list I also like,
Seth, Elllis and Spencer.
Some other classics that I like are..
David (I'd call my baby this if I were having one soon)
Patrick
Walter
Thomas
Harry
Joshua
Jack
Daniel
William

Emory 😍

crabette · 23/08/2024 20:55

Clover, Charlotte and Spencer.

If I had a little boy he'd have been Oscar, I think that works too? Clover, Charlotte and Oscar.

cupcaske123 · 23/08/2024 20:56

Robin

shoopshoopdedoo · 23/08/2024 20:58

I like Percy, Seth and Spencer best from your options.

Definitely not Wren! I’ve never heard that used for a boy, but it’s very popular for little girls where I am. I’m not keen on Warren or Emory either.

DemBonesDemBones · 23/08/2024 20:58

Percy is my favourite followed by Seth.

HettyCletter · 23/08/2024 20:58

Percy, Robin or Seth.

All three are lovely and go beautifully with your DDs’ names.

LaVitesse2022 · 23/08/2024 20:58

From your list I like Rowan best.

If you like classics, have you considered James or Henry?

Wren is a girls name

Miffylou · 23/08/2024 21:24

Some people will spell Emory wrong all his life.
I know some people like the name Wren but it sounds silly to me.
I don’t like Warren.
I know two girls called Rowan.
Percy is getting fashionable again (maybe because of Percy Jackson) but I’m not keen on it ("Just going to point Percy at the porcelain!")
I like any of the others. I wouldn't choose a name based on whether it goes with his sisters' names. For most of his life he won’t be living with his sisters.

Whynottrythis · 23/08/2024 21:24

Wren for a boy is awful.
Personally not keen on Emory or Ellis. They blend in with all the Ella, Ellis, Elise, Esme, Emily names.
You seem to like feminine sounding names so I'd choose Robin or Rowan from your list. I like Warren too.

BoleynMemories13 · 23/08/2024 21:34

You have one very unusual name and one very popular so I think you need to find some middle-ground with this one. Too unusual and Charlotte will very much be the odd one out, too popular and Clover will very much be the odd one out.

From your list, I think Robin is the best fit. It's very well known, but not overly popular. It sounds nice with the sibset too.

For those saying Wren is a girl's name, it use to be more of a boy's name but seems to have boomed in popularity for girls in recent years (same as Eden, Quinn etc). It definitely sounds masculine to me, but I would be put off by how many girls are called it now. Quite a few of your shortlist are unisex (Robin, Rowan, Ellis) so I'm guessing that trend appeals to you?

muffledvoice · 23/08/2024 21:37

Percy and Seth work well

Other names you may like are

Benson
Craig
Emmet
Jared
Lyle
Malcolm
Silas
Trent
Xander
Yestin

I like Spencer.

Other suggestions:

Sorrelia · 23/08/2024 22:28

Clover, Charlotte and Rowan without a doubt. Flows beautifully, all linked by an "o" but very distinct personalities. Love it!

Firsttimebabymummy · 24/08/2024 07:10

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 23/08/2024 20:49

Clover, Charlotte and Rowan.

Agree! Definitely the best combo

wizzler · 24/08/2024 07:16

From your list I only like Rowan

I would go with something classic like David or Matthew

I think Roman might be a better option as Rowan is often used for girls

Mumofgirls2017 · 24/08/2024 08:10

Spencer, Percy and Rowan are lovely and go best with Charlotte and clover. Other suggestions
