Hi! I've been try for #3 for over three years. DD is Rebecca Clare and will be 8 in
March and DS is Leo Gabriel and is 5. If and when we are blessed with a third addition we like Blaise Stephen for a boy and Georgia Lucy for a little girl. What do you all think?

Georgia Lucy is too cute, but Blaise isn't really my style. However, if you love Blaise then go for it!

Similar to Blaise:
Archer
Weston
Bennett
Beckett
Baylor
Cash
Bowden, nn Bowie

Good luck,
Brooke

I really like your girl's name. Very pretty.

Blaise is not my style, because it sounds like "blaze." It seems like a race car driver name to me. I like Stephen a lot, though, and it goes well with the more traditional feel of your other children's names.

With Rebecca Clare and Leo Gabriel ...

Georgia Lucy is wonderful, although it doesn't flow quite as well as Rebecca Clare since both the fn and mn have the same number of syllables (not a deal-breaker if you love the names, however ... one of my own girls has a three-syllable fn and mn LOL).

Blaise is ok, but not my favorite as a brother to Leo. Also, I wouldn't pair it with Stephen. I realize the S sounds are slightly different, but it still runs together way too much for my taste, KWIM? Is Leo short for anything, or is that his given name?

Other suggestions along those lines (nn names and formal forms ):

Max (any Max name)
Sam/Samuel
Ben/Benjamin
Hal/Hugh/Henry
Oz(zy)/Oswald/Osvaldo
Rafe/Rafferty/Raffeale/Raphael
Gus/August(us)/Gustav/Angus/Fergus
Nic(o)/Nicolas
Sy/Si/Silas
Alfred(o)/Alfie
Arturo/Art(ie)
Cal/Calvin/Callisto, etc.
Cas/Casimir(o)
Dante/Durante
Enrico/Rico
Sergio/Serg(e)
Tore/Salvatore
Vanni/Giovanni
Iggy/Ignazio/Ignatius
Izzy/Isaac/Isaiah/Isidore
Vince/Vincenzo/Vincent
Adrian
Julian/Jules
Renzo

I love Georgia Lucy, it is beautiful and goes wonderfully with Rebecca and Leo. Blaise Stephen doesn't really seem to go that well with Rebecca and Lucy.. the name isn't really my style. I LOVE Georgia Lucy though. I would see something like Anders, Sawyer, Beckett, or Ashton fitting better.

Hello and good luck on ttc.

With Rebecca Claire and Leo Gabriel-

Georgia is a very good fit! I would prefer Georgia Louise, but that is merely a matter of taste. The flow of Georgia Lucy is nice.

I really like strong and unusual names, but for me, Blaise is just okay. It could grow on me, I suppose. I definitely like the idea of a striking first name with a more traditional middle name.

I also like Stefan as an alternative to Stephen, and using it as a fn. I think Rebecca, Leo and Stefan is grand.

Some "Blaise-type" names that are just a bit more fitting with the other siblings are:
Rebecca Claire, Leo Gabriel, and-

*** Jude Stephen ***
Maddox Stephen
Burke Stephen
Emmett Stephen
Archer Stephen
Clive Stephen
Denver Stephen

Drake Stephen

A few more that I think are great fits, but don't work with Stephen-

Adam
Tobin
Quinn
Saul
Zane
Reuben
Heath
Damien

Keep us posted! Ginger

Thank you all so much for your input. I'm laughing about the lack of popularity for Blaise. My DH chose the name and I have finally conceded as it means a great deal to him. One of you suggested Jude which was also one of our short list options for a boy. I am very fond of Isaac but have kind of given up as DH is not even a little fond of it. At this point, Stephen is staying. It is a family name. Thank you all for your help so far and I will keep you posted.
