What would YOU name our third child?

[newyorkdads]

We have Noah and Sophia, but baby #3 is hopefully on the way and so far without a name. Out of pure curiosity and boredom (and exhaustion, we just got home from a road trip with two cranky kiddos), what would you name our future newest addition?

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, as we are pretty stumped. Something that "goes" well with Noah and Sophia is definitely a plus, but we're open to anything as long as it's not too out there - and as long as it doesn't clash with our last name, which rhymes with "senate" I've listed some names that we're considering, but feel free to deviate from that list as much as you want. First and middle name combos would be amazing.

Thanks for reading and humoring me!

Noah and Sophia are gorgeous, Adam (your name top)! Congrats on (maybe!) adding a new one, so exciting!!!

From your signature I'd go with stunning Lydia Catherine and Jude Alexander.

Other suggestion:

Ezra Jonathan or Ilan Zachary

Liora Catherine or Nessa Vivian

I'd go with Vivian or Julia and Jude or Lucas. Good luck!

With Noah Bryan, 8
Sophia Caroline, 4 -This is a fun challenge, and your naming taste is well-defined

Thoughts- I don't usually like matchy sibsets but the pronounced o- sound really jumped out at me here. It might be a great starting point. Also you have used top 20ish names on both your children so your taste is mainstream. I would suggest reaching into the 200-300 range. There are many names there that still have the recognizability and classic sound, but would keep your sibset from being too generational.

Noah Bryan, Sophia Caroline, and

The O- thing- (PS Fiona pulls at me here )...
Owen Zachary, Corbin Thomas, Rowan Alexander, Milo Andrew
Fiona Catherine, Cora Catherine or Juliet, Josephine Laura

What I'm talking about in the SSA range-
Roman Zachary, Miles Alexander, Grant Aiden , Donovan Jude, Preston Thomas
Penelope Julia, Phoebe Amelia, Genevieve Lily, Camille Alexandra

I like to amp things up and be unpredictale while still fitting-
Noah, Sophia and
Ramsey Thomas, Gannon Zachary, Lachlan Jude
Anya Catherine, Caterina Lauren, Francesca Hope

Possible Girls Names:
Amelia- fitting but don't like ending with Sophia, Ava- this is what I'm talking about with predictability, Catherine- would make a great mn in your sibset, Fiona- Perfect~, Julia- lovely, Laura- interesting, unpredictable, leave on the list, Lily- see Ava , Lydia- yes!, Vivian- the hot go-to name right now...raise the bar!
Possible Boys Names:
Aidan- Too predictable, Alexander- leave it on, esp in mn position, Andrew- mn, Jonathan- hmmm, Jude- Not bad..., Lucas- See Ava, Thomas maybe, Zachary- good mn

Girl combos from your list-Lydia Fiona Julia or Laura Catherine
Boys- Jude Alexander, Zachary Thomas
Fun! Ginger

Hey from your names I love Amelia or Zachary. Other suggestions: Phoebe or Heidi. Hugo or Gabriel.

Thanks guys! Interesting that Jude Alexander was brought up twice...my husband and I were talking about that combo today in the car, and Noah said it sounded "cool" haha. We (tentatively) love it. But I think what's scaring me off is the Jude Law connection. I definitely had a huge crush on him years ago. Also, Jude Alexander would have the initials JAB. Not sure how I feel about that.

Trying to sell my husband on Ezra...don't think it'll work but I really like it. I like Owen and Rowan as well.

Ugh, I love Phoebe too...but some of Sophia's nicknames are a little too similar-sounding.

Dude, Jude Law is amazing. Seriously. Hot, sweet, funny, dashingly handsome. Have you read Jude the Obscure by Thomas Hardy? Or seen the movie Jude (with hottie Christopher Eccleston)? Might be worth a try, Jude is an amazing name.

[newyorkdads]

Yeah, the more I think about it the more I really appreciate the name Jude. Haven't read that book but always meant to after reading Tess.

I also like Ethan a lot...too popular, though? I like its meaning though.
