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!

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!

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'm in the midst of trying to name a third son too, so I know how hard it is.
Good luck.

I am like you. Something a little different but not "out there."
I LOVE Liam for a boy. Also:
Lucas
Eli
Damien
For a girl, I like:
Brynn
Lia/Mia
Jade
Hi there.
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....
