Need a name for #4!

Hi Ladies~

Y'all were so helpful naming #2 and #3 at our house I'm back for more! LOL! Just found our this weekend baby #4 is coming this summer. So of course what's the first thing I do? Start OBSESSING over names.

Here's where I'm at. My 3 girls are

Caroline Rebekah
Amelia Kate
Greta Lindsay

I am 90% sure a boy would be Wyatt or Wilson. DH's name is Tim so I kinda feel pressure to use Timothy for mn but honestly I don't really love it. I have always tended with mns to use names I love but are too common for fn or DH doesn't like it~hence Lindsay! I would love to use Asher or Grayson for fn but DH hates them both so I might slip them in as mn.

Girls is the hard part. Poor Greta was almost Girl cuz we had nothing! We like not super popular but not too out there. We live the midwest and everyone we know names their kids Jessica and Amber and Tyler and Justin. Nice names just kinda boring for my taste. We are know as the ones with the "weird" names! DH doesn't like one-syllable names (exception made for Wyatt b/c he's a big western fan!) No repeat initials (unless it's a different sound) and nothing ending in "a". Some ones we had listed before but didn't use are

Charlotte~front runner
Virginia
Georgia
Scarlett
Natalie

So what do have for me?!?!? Thanks oodles!

I love Charlotte -- and for a nn you could call her Charlie. I just think that is so cute and Charlotte is such a feminine name. It really goes well with your other girls.

If Tim made a boy this time... I think Wyatt and Wilson are great. If I had to pick, I'd vote for the less common Wilson. Also Wesley is nice.

What is your hubby's middle name, or your maiden name -- are any of them suitable options for baby boy's mn?

hello!! first i love your girls names-i like caroline a lot-and amelia and greta arent over used and still very pretty-without being over the top. anyway, for your son, i like wyatt over wilson, but it seems to me that that name is starting to get common-maybe cuz i know a woman whos due in 3 weeks and shes naming her son that-i seem to be seeing that name more now...i like wyatt grayson over wyatt asher-and if youre going to use wilson-youre going to have to use asher cuz wilson grayson is too much of a tongue twister. (btw, i kinda like asher wilson or wyatt wilson as combos too). as far as the girls, i like charlotte, especially with the other 3 girls name-she would fit right in...i tend to have slightly exotic taste too(at least in everyone elses opinion-i think i like very normal sounding names personally-lol):
my 2 kids are:
violet rose
isabelle grace (nn izzy)
other ideas:
angelique nn angie
madeline(maybe too close to caroline though)
cassidy
cassandra nn cassie
aubrey
kira
cara
annabelle
arabella
ashlynn
christine
jacquline
victoria nn tori
ava (my 1st choice if/when i have another-ava skye is my combo-i just cant get dh on board-lol)
kirsten
or
alexandra/alexa nn lexi
i also have a niece named natalie...and i like scarlett myself, but i cant use it cuz i dont want to use 2 "color" names...good luck, im sure youll find the right one for you guys before the time comes!!
