having the third and need name ideas

Hello-

I'm PG with my 3rd, and I told myself that I wouldn't get wrapped up in trying to worry about a name so early this time, because I make myself nuts over it. BUT- I find myself here, asking for suggestions!
So, here I go! I've got 2 boys, and don't know yet the sex of this one yet. The first two are named Owen and Wyatt. I really tried to pick names that are not "out there", but not over used either. Our last name is VERY common so I want something that keeps them from becoming one of 15 in a phone book, if you know what I mean.
I've thought about Liam the last time I was PG, also Elliot, as some examples.
I also like Edie, as my grandmother is Edith, and I think it's a kind of neat way to use her name without using the exact name. At this point, DH isn't so sure about Edie.
Would you be willing to give my some ideas and thoughts about what seems to work with my other two sons names, and what you thing of Edie, Liam, etc? TIA!

Love love love Edie! I do think it works better as a nn than a given name so I woudl go with Edith and use Edie as the nn. Liam works very well with Wyatt and Owen. I like it better than Elliot with your other two boy names.

Hi there. Congrats on #3!

Owen & Wyatt are rather nice. Great work there!

I really like Elliott & Liam for a possible third little boy. I'd stick w/Elliott if you want something less common. Liam isn't popular right now, but I can predict it becoming more popular soon. I don't see that happening w/Elliott. Here are some other suggestions that you might like:

Alec

Asher

Abel

Adrian

Brody

Burke

Clark

Casper maybe nn Cas. I love Cas!

Emmett

Edward maybe nn Eddie. This is a nice way to honour your grandmother.

Finn

Garrett

Gareth

Grant

Glenn

Holden

Jasper maybe nn Jass

Jesse-Ooh, that's cute w/Owen & Wyatt!

Jude

Mason

Miles

Maclin maybe nn Mac

Philip

Pierce

Patrick

Quinn

Rhys

Ross

Tate

Thane

Trevor

Travis

Zane

I love Edie for a girl name. I actually really like Edith nn Edie. Or maybe Eden or Eudora nn Edie? As sweet as Edie is, it is sort of nick-namey on it's own. It does go nicely w/your ds' names though. Here are a few more girl suggestions that you might like:

Adeline maybe nn Addie

Bridget

Calla maybe nn Callie

Cecily

Celia

Delia

Dahlia

Eve maybe nn Evie

Eva maybe nn Evie

Elise

Fiona

Gemma

Greta

Hope

Holly

Ivy

Juliet

Josie or perhaps Josephine nn Josie

Kira

Kiara

Lucy

Lydia

Maura

Nina

Phoebe

Rose maybe nn Rosie

Rosa maybe nn Rosie

Roxy or maybe Roxanna/e nn Roxy

Stella

Sylvia maybe nn Sylvie

Tess(a)

Talia maybe nn Tali

Hope this helps, & keep us posted!

I really like the name Elliott and think that it goes great with Owen and Wyatt. I am not a huge fan of Edie, but I do like the idea of honoring your grandmother. Some other not-so-popular names could be:
Colton
Wade
Levi
Ian

Liam- this goes extremely well with Owen and Wyatt
Elliott- love this, so cute
Edie- very pretty, so sweet and a nice way to honour your grandmother
For boys, besides Liam and Elliott, have you considered Gavin, Colby, Zachary, or Austin? They all seem to go very well with Owen and Wyatt IMO. For a girl, I love Edie for you, but I also like Sarah/Sadie, Loralei/Laura, Kristen, Shannon, Kate, and Jenna.

My initial thought with Owen and Wyatt (love those, btw!) was Gwyneth or Gwendolen (and I think you could easily use Edie as a nn for Gwendolen, so a double plus there!). HTH ;)

I like Ethan or Jesse with Owen and Wyatt (great names by the way!!).
I'm in the midst of trying to name a third son too, so I know how hard it is.
Good luck.

Thanks everyone for the support! I like Nina, and funny you say Lily, because we thought of that last time (before we knew #2 was a boy!. Lillian is actually my great-grandmother's name. I'm fond of the nn Addie, too, so those are nice ideas.
Another name that just makes me smile is Lola. However, I have a friend who named her little one that about 6 mo ago, and I don't know that I want to copy??
For boys, I tend to agree with the repetitive double "T"'s in Elliott and Wyatt. I like Lucas, but do you think the "s" at the end with our last name starting with "s" becomes too much? I like Ethan, but pretty popular around here
Levi- now that's one I'll have to think on....
