Help with Baby #3 Name

mamabear7 · February 2013

Our twins are Eloise Michelle and Grant Melvin (middle names are family names). For baby #3, I like Clara or Evan and my husband likes Audrey or Colin. I feel like my husband's selections are too common.

Any other thoughts? Something that goes well with my current kids' names. We aren't set on middle names yet, but will do family names.

First of all I love Eloise and Grant! Grant was our boy name for #3! I feel like Clara, Evan, Audrey, and Colin are all equally common. I didn't look them up on SSA list, but I wouldn't consider any of them uncommon. I think I like Evan and Audrey best with the sibset.

Other suggestions:

Victoria (Tori)

Violet

Vivian (love this one)

Bridget

Samantha

Boy:

Reed (DS)

Pierce (DS)- I think they go great with Grant, but I am biased:)

Noel

Dean

Leo

Silas

I'm not going to be much help. I love Eloise and Grant btw.

I love Clara, Evan, Audrey and Colin. I think all four fit with your twins' names.

Maybe go with your pick for a girl and his pick for a boy or vice versa? Or call the baby one of the names for a week and see if you grow to like his choice more or he grows to like your choice more.

IMO you really can't go wrong here

I think Evan is way more common than Colin. Audrey is overdone right now.

I think Evan is more common than Colin. I also think your husband's choices go slightly better with the kids you already have. However, I like your names too.

Audrey Clara/Claire and Colin Everett/Evan Cole, maybe, since Colin and Evan don't sound great together?

To compromise, you and DH could each pick a gender and use one's FN and another's MN for that gender's final name. For instance, if you picked Evan Cole, than Audrey Claire would be the girl choice.

This. I know way more little Evans than Colins. And neither really do anything for me but if I had to choose, I like Evan better in general. I also like Clara better than Audrey and like it with your sibset. GL!
