A friend of mine has 3 girls and possibly one more on the way, there names...

Hope , 4
Grace, 3
Faith, 15 months.

So as you can imagine... she is having a really difficult time coming up with another girls name that fits.

have any suggestions? What about a boys name? should she stick with with one syllable if it's a boy?

She is a little farther along then I am and im still working out my own details :P but I'm sure I will be back soon looking for your opinions on my choices..

thanks :P

Boy: If it is a boy she could stick with the religious theme and do something like: Joshua, Noah, David, Elijah, Jacob, etc. Or she could stick with the virtue theme. The best boy virtue name I know of is Paxton (hopefully this is different enough from Angelina's new son's name). Pax = Peace and Paxton is a strong, male name.

Girls: Hmm...now it is getting a tricky. A safe name would be Joy. If she is daring something like Amity or Honora. A more subtle connection would be a name like Felicity (happiness).

Let us know when you are ready to start narrowing down names!

Girls names: Harmony, Patience, Joy, or Melody would fit well
Boys names: I agree it should be something religious or just a name that is also a word ei. Rain, Chance, or Sterling.

GIRLS:
Joy
Peace
Praise
Mercy
Honor
Bliss
Glory
Serenity

I agree with the pp that Joy is the obvious choice for a girl. But these are some other ideas.

=======

BOYS:
True
Pax
Will
Justice

Boys are harder! We have a Will and a Levi True, so I'm partial to those names. Will is Biblical in the sense of "God's will" and I think it is lovely with the girls' names that they already have.

Or, for boys, they could go the route of things God created ...
Field, Sky, River, Lake, Stone,

I don't know what she should do, but I would name a fourth girl something with one syllable but definitely not a noun, probably Claire or Jane or Anne. I think that Hope, Grace and Faith work fine as names, but adding a Joy or a Glory or something to the mix makes it (in my mind) over the top because the fourth one sounds like too much of a stretch and ends up detracting from all of the other names.

For a boy, I would go with any simple, classic name that I loved, whether biblical or not - maybe Peter, James, Christopher or Henry.

for a girl I would use Felicity, Glory/Gloria, Harmony, Melody, Jewel, Honor, Trinity, Vera (means faith or truth), Evangeline, Dawn, Avalon, Crystal, Rose, Lark, Mercy, Pearl or Blythe

for a boy, thats alittle tougher, maybe Sterling, Asher, Christian, Levi, Deacon, Palmer, Noble, Gabriel, Justice, Calum/Callum and Jonah(both mean dove), Tate (happy and cheerful) or Felix (means happy and fortunate)
