We have discovered we are pg with #5. I already have 3 boys Jason Anthony, Nicholas Edward, and Jacob Riley and 1 girl Mariah Raquel. DH is very picky. I had my heart set on Adriana for a girl and he said no. He also rejected Ciara. Since this is our fifth I would like to incorporate that into the name. I suggested Quinby for a mn for a girl and got a no. Quentin for a mn boy got me a maybe. Boys names have been easier with dh. I got maybes on the following:Justin, Shawn, Nathan, and Alexander. I just don't love any of those names. I am looking for name suggestions that may go over well with him. For girls I like feminine, exotic, not common but not out there girls names and strong, boyish, fairly common boys names. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Melissa
PS I am due April so Spring/Easter/April related names would be great as well.

TY for your suggestions. DH likes Danielle and so do I. If Jacob Riley had been a girl he would have been Riley Danielle so this will probably stick as the girls name. Any mn suggestions? DH's grandmother was Aurea(pron. OR-EE-UH). What do you think of that name?

Danielle Audra/Audrey
Danielle Aurora
Danielle Aubrey

other mn to go with Danielle:

Danielle Elizabeth
Danielle Elise
Danielle Eliza
Danielle Alexa
Danielle Anne
Danielle Nicole
Danielle Lauren
Danielle Lillian
Danielle Suzanne
Danielle Therese
Danielle Maribeth
Danielle Eloise
Danielle Margaret
Danielle Colette
Danielle Renee
Danielle Camille
Danielle Celeste

I still like Audrey Danielle too. Aurea Danielle is pretty together also.

Hi,

In college I knew a really beautiful, smart, nice girl named Quinn. I always thought her name was so unique....especially for a girl. But I really like it. And it means fifth so that incorporates the "5th child" theme in to it all.

Also for a boy you can use Quincy. Also if you want to go with the family theme you can try Brody for a boy. It definitly has a strong feeling and means "brother" which is nice.

Good luck!
