This is Child #7 what about Seven?????

We have 4 daughters and 2 sons. We are expecting our seventh child in 6 weeks. We are having a real hard time with a name. Our kids names are pretty unique so this one has got to be too. We want a strong Boy name. I like Seven Tru or another middle name. But we like meaningful names too, Seven, he is the seventh and God's number that He rested from all His work.
What do you think???
Thanks,
Lisa

Our kids are:
Taylor Rose
Willow Payton
Raven Kennedy
Ryker Woods
Quest Zaiden
Favor Bleu
And we need some help with this next one!!!! Seven? Or does it sound like we have just run out of names and decided to number them?? lol.
Thanks again for ideas!!

Sorry but I do think that "Seven" might imply that you & Dad are just creatively tapped out when it comes to kid-namin'.

The names of the out-of-womb-six are beautiful & creative, I think that you guys can muster up one more!

It's just my opinion & you ARE talking to me here so take it only for what it's worth. I'm new here & during the next (at least) 9 months you'll be vulnerable to my sometimes odd & always unconventional thoughts & opinions. :)

I can't help but be reminded of an episode (I'm showing my age) of 'Blossom' when Blossom's best friend Six reveals the origin of her name. "It was the number of beers my Mom had on the night I was conceived."

Of course I would certainly compelled to, at the very least, nick-name my seventh child 'Lucky"!

See I told you I'm not quite right.

I do think Seven is a little bit like "numbering" but maybe as a middle name. How about Tru Seven. I love the way Seven sounds though.

How about finding the word of Seven in different languages?

Just a thought...

Awesome idea Tallulah!

Or words that are associated with Seven. Leaving out, of course, the Deadly Sins!!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_numbers_in_various_languages

thats pretty much every language going! lol

I'm Welsh and in my language is Saith (Sigh-th) which has a nice sound to it....

While Seven would be a strong name, it does sound a little like you ran out of ideas ...

Traditionally, the seventh child would be called Septimus. Also, although it is actually now the ninth month, September means 'seventh month' (which it originally was), although if he is not born in September then it would probably be best to avoid that one ...

You could also use the name of one of the seven archangels ... Zerachiel, Gabriel, Uriel, Raguel, Raphael, Remiel, Michael and Jeremiel (I know I listed eight - different archangels are mentioned in different texts, and they sometimes contradict each other).

Good luck!

Seven is also the name that George Costanza on Seinfeld wants to name his child. George likes it because he thinks it would be a great way to honor his basball hero, Mickey Mantle, who wore the jersey number 7. Just throwing that out there...

I don't "hate" the name Seven, but I do feel like you could do better.

I'm loving some of these other ideas. Here's a few more :)

How about one of the Seven Heavenly Daughters of Atlas and Pleione:
Maia, Electra, Taygete, Alcyone, Celaeno, Sterope (also Asterope), and Merope.

Or The Seven Hills of Rome (within the walls of the ancient city):
Aventine Hill (Aventinus), Caelian Hill (Caelius), Capitoline Hill (Capitolinus), Esquiline Hill (Esquilinus), Palatine Hill (Palatinus), Quirinal Hill (Quirinalis), and Viminal Hill (Viminalis)

Or The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World:
Pyramid of Giza, Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Statue of Zeus at Olympia, Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, Colossus of Rhodes, Lighthouse of Alexandria


I like:
Olympia
Alexandria
Artemis
Caelian
Maia

I think Seven is cool but it reminds me of the classic Seinfeld episode where George wants to name his kid after Mickey Mantle's # and then a friend likes the name and steals it and George tries to convince them to name the kid Soda if I remember correctly.

Also, I believe Erykah Badu and Andre 3000 of Outkast named their son seven.

I think it would go best in the middle, and I love other's suggestions of finding an alternative that means or symbolizes seven.

Also, this may or may not bother you but I wanna say "up" after it.

Good Luck!

***oops! sorry I didn't see Page's post. Good to know there is another Seinfeld fan around!
