I posted a poll below, but I wanted to get some feedback on the boy names we are considering. We have three girls - Hannah, Emma, and Madelyn. Our boy is due this spring. Here are the options:

Caleb
Nathaniel (nn Nate)
Finn
Liam
Miles

I'd like some honest opinions and feedback on these names. My hubby and I are having a hard time agreeing! Thanks!

Congrats on your first boy. :)

I like all the names on your list a lot. I'd rank them in this order:

Finn
Miles (I'm a jazz lover, so love this name)
Liam
Nathaniel (nn Nate)
Caleb

AJ, enjoying life with C.

I like all of the names you're considering and I think they all go well with your DDs.

With Hannah, Emma, and Madelyn...

Caleb- This is nice, but seems too modern compared to your girls names which are so classic. It is much harsher sounding
Nathaniel (nn Nate)- This is great! Fits in so well. Has great nn options just like your girls' names... perfect!!!
Finn- A nice name, but doesn't go. I could see Finn being a brother to Patrick, Brody, Bridget, and Maeve, or something along those lines, but not Hannah, Emma, and Madelyn. HOWEVER I do think that Griffin works really well, and the nn Finn is possible. Griffin is soft and sweet, which goes well. Very rough and tumble. I think that is the perfect style of name with your girls
Liam- Nice. Not perfect, but it's a nice name and goes well
Miles- Love this. Goes really well. The only think that would bother me is that you alredy have a daughter whose name begins with an M, but its not a huge deal.

Faves:
1) Hannah, Emma, Madelyn & Nathaniel
2) Hannah, Emma, Madelyn & Miles
3) Hannah, Emma, Madelyn & Liam

HTH,
-Nikki

I like either Finn or Miles the best. But they're all good names, so are your daughter's names! Good luck with baby boy :)

Caleb- it's ok; it's not a name I would pick personally though.
Nathaniel- This is really cute, I prefer just Nathan but I like Nathaniel too. I think it goes well with your other children's names
Finn- I think this is a cute nickname for Finley or Finian
Liam- this is alright
Miles- it's kinda cute; I think it sounds nice with your girl's names if you don't mind having two 'M' names

I like Finn and Liam the best. Miles is also cute and isn't used too much.
