Felix - NMS.
Jasper - Like this one. Sounds great with siblings.

Maximo - No.
Bardo - No.

Otis - Eh. Don't have an opinion either way.
Aubrey - NMS

Love these:

Hugo Thomas, Olive Grace, and Amos Alexander
Hugo Thomas, Olive Grace, and Felix William
Hugo Thomas, Olive Grace, and Jasper William
Hugo Thomas, Olive Grace, and George Alexander
Hugo Thomas, Olive Grace, and Henry Alexander
Hugo Thomas, Olive Grace, and Otis William

I get a marvelous bluesy feel from your names.

I love your name choices! The names I like best with Hugo Thomas and Olive Grace are Amos, Felix, Jasper, Jude, George, Henry, or Otis. I do like most of the names that end in -o, but I think it would be nice to have a contrast in the ending sounds of each child's first name.

[frustratedauthor]

Otto - Good name, but it doesn't sound right with your other little ones.
Amos - Love this one.
Felix - Love this one.
Jasper - LOVE. This one sounds great with your kids.
Jude - It's okay.
George - I like this one with your kids.
Milo - Love it. Sounds great with your kids.
Arlo - Love it.
Julius - Eh.
Quinn - I like this name, but I don't think it has the same tone as Hugo and Olive.
Maximo - NMS
Bardo - NMS
Henry - It's okay. I'm hearing it so much now. Plus, you would have repeated first letters (if that bothers you).
Otis - I like it, but I don't love it.
Aubrey - Eh.
Griffin - Different style than the other two.
Nico - Not bad.
Ivo - NMS
Remy - Not bad.
Christian (Kit) - Love Christian, but dislike the nn Kit. Still, it sounds good with the other kids.
Toby - Eh.

Also, what about Cyrus or Silas?

[dantea]

Love your style. These are the names I think will work really well with your other 2 children and I'll tell you which of you 2 middle names (both very great) go with them:

Felix William
Jasper Alexander or Jasper William, both are great
Jude Alexander
Milo William
Quinn Alexander
Henry William
Griffin Alexander
Nico Alexander or Nico William
Remy Alexander

[baileyanne]

I love Felix, Jasper, George, and Remy. Here are my suggestions:

Finn
Frederick
Linus
Silas

[lori johnson]

Hugo [and] Olive are a wondrously spunky duo!


To the mix I'd add ...

Archie [or] Ferdinand [or] Gus [or] Willie

... another [spunky] German name like Hugo.


Or, from your list ...

Felix [or] Jasper

[maybe1more]

So many to think about! You guys are good.

Ferdinand - I loike it thanks Lori Johnson. Ferdie it has a good ring to it. In fact I like all your suggestions but can't use Gus (our surname has that sound in it or it would be the clear winner). Felix I love but my DH says absolutely NO . Jasper and Archie have been used by close-ish friends. And I like Willie but it means p.enis where I live but I would consider Wills.

baileyanne I love Remy too I think it's my favourite. I also like the suggestion of Silas and have added that to the list.

Thanks Dantea. Jude Alexander was to be Olive's name if she was a boy! So that's a definite contender but I like Remy Alexander best, I think. Flows well and goes with our surname.

Frustratedauthor I like Amos too. I think it's my second favourite or possibly equal favourite.

Amyb2 I agree with you I think those names match too.

Agirlinred Amos Alexander is a definite contender thanks and a bluesy feel, you say? That's really interesting - we were going for underused classics but I like bluesy too!

Thanks everyone, I narrowed my list down to two contenders so far. Well ok probably about 5 - after all this is a serious process.

[sheflieswithherownwings]

Oh I love some of the names on your list!

Jasper is the one that stood out to me as fitting really well with Hugo and Oliver and the combo Jasper William would be gorgeous.

Otherwise I love; Amos, Jude, Milo, Arlo, Quinn, Henry, Aubrey, Remy and Toby.

I love seeing Aubrey on a boys list and Aubrey William is great.

Hugo, Olive & Jude
Hugo, Olive & Milo
Hugo, Olive & Quinn
Hugo, Olive & Remy
Hugo, Olive & Toby
Hugo, Olive & Jasper

The above are my favourite sibsets - they go really well together.

Milo Alexander, Jude William, Toby Alexander, Remy William, Jasper William and Quinn Alexander are all gorgeous combo's.
