Help naming baby boy

[Bumblingalong1]

Hi everyone, I hope you can help us. Our 3rd son was born a few days ago and struggling to decide on his name. We already have 2 boys (Owen and Robin) and our surname is 2 syllables.

Does anyone have any suggestions please? Or from the list below which names work well? We have noted down these names but no clear front runner yet:

Samuel
Sebastian
Ellis
Callum (Cal)
Eric
Leon
Odin
Logan
Liam
Joel
Finley/ Finlay
Cole
Rory
Oscar
Leo
Lewis
Christopher (Chris, Topher, Kit)
Ethan
Flynn
Charlie
Connor
Cameron
Caleb
Ewan
Jacob
Blake
Lawrence
Lucas
Aidan
Aaron

Thank you in advance!

Congratulations 🎊
It's a lovely list.
My 2 favourites are Samuel ( a timeless classic that's great for all ages), and Flynn.
Owen, Robin and Flynn ❤️

I love Kit.

I’ve got a Kit so biased but that completes a lovely sib set for you
I also like Aidan
congratulations whatever you decide

Before I opened the thread I thought Sebastian so since it is on your list I will go with that! Also really like Joel and Christopher

Leo or Flynn go well imo

What you should do is put all the names on a piece of paper in a random cloud and take turns with your DP crossing out your least favourite name. Stick it on the fridge or something.

We did this over several months with ours (Freddie!) we also have a Robin and considered a Leo! Glad we didn't in the end as the Pope died a few days after his birth.

Good list.

My faves with Owen and Robin are ..
Joel
Callum
Lawrence
Cameron
Craig
William

Love the names of the two boys you have already!

My favourites from your list are:
Samuel (this is my top choice - classic and classy and goes really well with the other two)
Joel
Kit
Ewan/Euan
Jacob/Jake

Other ideas:
Dylan
Asa
Caspian
Ash
Joseph
Peter

I think Ellis, Flynn, Samuel or Leo go best.

Congratulations!

Another suggestion:
Huw

My favourites are Samuel, Eric, Ewan and Laurence.

My DH name is Callum and always think what a good all rounder it is as a name. Also love Joel!

Gorgeous list.

The names that go with your other boys best imo are Callum, Leo, Aaron.

Avoid Ewan - far too like Owen. And maybe Rory (one of my favourite names) is a bit too like Robin. We made the mistake of same initial names. Now they are grown up, letters arrive and we don't know who they are for without opening them.

And lovely as some of the longer names are, I think it's a bit odd for the other sons to have two-syllable names and then go for something like Sebastian.

Lovely names but I think Flynn flows the best with his brothers names.

Congratulations on your new little one 🥰

I have a Caleb and a Joel so they get my vote! I think Samuel and Flynn would also go really well with Owen and Robin. Christopher and Robin would automatically take me to Winnie the Pooh. Not that that’s a bad thing!

Watching, as we’re struggling to name a third boy and I have Robin and Owen on my list! I like Jacob and Sebastian best from your list, and think Jacob works well with your other two. I’d agree with a PP to choose something with a different initial so they’re not opening each others post in their teens (or when they’re all still living at home in their 20s)

I have a cousin called Lawrence - it can be a nuisance for him at times as the spelling Laurence is also common.

Try each name with the surname. Some won't sound great.

Like:
Samuel
Charlie

Maybe:
Ellis
Callum (Cal) - 2 spellings
Eric
Caleb
Ewan - 2 spellings
Jacob - will be Jake
Blake
Joel - Joe-ul/Jo-elle/Jole?
Lewis - 2 spellings if you count Louis
Liam - dated

Too popular:
Finley/Finlay - 2 spellings, will be Fin/Finn
Lucas
Oscar
Leo

No:
Leon
Odin
Logan
Cole
Rory - not with Robin
Ewan - 2 spellings, too similar to Owen
Ethan
Flynn - will get mixed up with Finn
Aidan
Aaron - too many different spellings
Connor - 2 spellings, dated

No, will be shortened:
Sebastian
Cameron
Christopher (Chris, Topher, Kit) - i don't like the diminutives
Lawrence - 2 spellings

Definite no to Huw. It's a bit middle-aged in Wales and too connected to one broadcaster otherwise. Hugh is quite nice.

I like Lucas best from your list.

Nathan?

Samuel
Ellis
Callum (Cal) - prefer the Calum spelling
Eric
Cole
Christopher - Chris or Kit
Lawrence
Aidan
Aaron

I think these go best

Like Lucas, Ellis, Sebastian or Ethan with your others. If you struggle to decide could rule out repeated initials/ overly similar sound eg Ewan with Owen. Suggestions- Owen, Robin and….

Arthur
Louis
Jude
Felix
Joseph
Toby
Hugo
Dylan
Sidney
Seth
Noah

Really enjoy your list! I can see why you're having a hard time there are so many good names!

Callum, Kit, Flynn and Aiden are the stand outs to me!

Samuel or Leo.

I think Kit and Christopher are too Christopher Robiny with Robin.

I have a Callum and a Liam, so they are my clear favourites

Jacob is my favourite. Laurie?

Leo, Eric, Charlie or Samuel
