Help! Baby #4 needs a name!

We are expecting baby #4 in early December. I have very few ideas for names. I would like the girl names to match with my two DD's (Lauren Olivia and Elaina Kate). Any ideas for a girls name would be appreciated. I am stuck. Nothing has really caught my attention.

My boy names have to be Bible names (DH's family used all Bible names, we agreed to Bible names for the boys.) My DS is Josiah Daniel. I like Jacob, but feel like I would be unhappy with how common it is. I also like Adam or Micah. But, is Josiah and Micah to much. We know many little boys with Bible names so many of the other ones I like are out (Isaac, Andrew, Joshua, Matthew, Jonah). I am looking forward to the responses. This board was a help as we named both of our DD's. You all seem to have such great ideas. I am open to any suggestions at this point. Thank you so much!

Nicole - almost mom to 4

for a boy I vote for Micah. I love that name! I don't think Josiah and micah are too mch. They don't sound anything alike except the the ah ending. the nn's could be jo and mike and that's just cute. I think Micah Joel is a great name.

as for a girl...that's a tougher one.

Good luck! I think lots of those names would fit. Some sound nice if you mix and match too.

I love Micah, and it's not terribly close in sound to Josiah.

Boys:

Of the names you listed, I like Adam. I like Micah, but only as a middle name, because believe it or not, I know more girls/women with the name than men! Which is sad, because I really only think of it as a male name. Here are some other Biblical name ideas:

Noah

Ethan

Samuel

Seth

Luke

Joseph

Peter

Philip

Gabriel

Nathan

Levi

Caleb

Timothy

Benjamin

Aaron

Elijah

Asher

Reuben

John

Jeremiah

Boaz

Jesse

Joel

Of all of these, my favorites with your childrens' names are Amelia, Julia, Noah and Caleb.

HTH!

Thank you all for your help! Now I have some ideas to consider. With my first three it was pretty easy to name them. This time I am stuck. I really appreciate the suggestions. I kind of like Caroline for a girl, but I always say CarAline. (With an uh sound and not O.) Thanks again for your time. I can't wait until the kiddos are down for naps and I can get a good look at your suggestions.

My boys are Adam James, David Jonathan & Isaac Nathaniel (we do Bible names for our boys, too).

I also like Jeremiah, Levi, Timothy & Daniel. I would not recommend using the same "ah" ending for 2 boys (Micah and Josiah), but that's based on my own personal preference.

Your girls have pretty names ~ Lauren & Elaina ~ how about Hannah, Lydia, Rebekah, Emily, Sarah, Allison, Sophie/Sophia, Victoria or Elizabeth? Sorry I don't have a lot of suggestions ~ I always struggle with girl names!

Good luck picking the perfect name and congratulations on #4!

~Kate, mom to Megan, Adam, Emily, David, Sarah & Isaac

Thank you! I love your boy names. I like Levi and hadn't really thought about it. I also like Sophie for a girl, but that is another one I cannot convince DH to use.
