sibling for Sam, Deacon, Vera and Shep

[mom24]

Hi! We need help with name ideas for baby #5, especially boy names. Our kids are are:
Samuel Robert
Deacon Thomas
Vera Lucille
Shepherd Miles

Our current top girl choices are Harriet (Hattie) Anne, Ada Dorothy, or Annette (Etta) mn? For boys, we literally have no ideas on first names, but possible family names to incorporate as a middle include: William, James, Wilder, or Malcolm.

Please help! Any ideas welcome!

Hi there.

Your kids' names are lovely!

Here are my thoughts:

Girls-

Samuel Robert
Deacon Thomas
Vera Lucille
Shepherd Miles

Harriet (Hattie) Anne-This could not be more perfect.

Ada Dorothy-I like both of these names, but don't love the repeating 'd' sound. It's still perfectly nice though. I think that Ada works very well w/your crew, but it may be a little more popular than you realize if that bothers you.

Annette (Etta)-This is my grandma's name! She just goes by Annette. I like Etta, & it works well w/your kids' names. I don't know that it totally makes sense as a nn for Annette, but I think it works? The only other name I can think of is Loretta, which isn't that pretty in my opinion. As for a mn, maybe-

Annette Dorothy

Annette Dorothea

Annette Louise

Annette Louisa

Annette Rosalie

Annette Theodora

Other ideas:

These are GREAT suggestions, thanks so much!! I'm really liking Jude, and loving that it's a nickname to Julius since that's also a family name : )
