What do you think of these names?

Here are my choices- please be honest. (Hudson is a family name.)

Nicholas Hudson
Jackson Hudson
Aric Hudson
Jacob Hudson

Annika Marie (Annie for short)
Isabella Marie
Elizabeth Marie

My dh and I have such a hard time w/ names. Thankfully, when we both found our childrens' names it was like "BAM!" We had the names and no other would do. I haven't felt that way about any others yet. We'll see. I've got some time to think about it.

Our other children are:

Alexandra Estelle
Adam Ronald

*We weren't going for the A thing. Just the only names we could agree on. Middle names are family names.

Nicholas Hudson- Love Hudson, Nicholas is nice and goes well with Adam and Alexandra
Jackson Hudson- Jackson is waaaay too trendy
Aric Hudson- Is this a typo??? Eric is nice, Aric is HORRIBLE
Jacob Hudson- nice, but VERY popular, has lost its appeal

Annika Marie - the name isn't of the same style as Alexandra and Adam, and I'd avoid another A name
Isabella Marie- really rising in popularity lately, but its okay
Elizabeth Marie- nice.... nn Libby is cute

Nicholas Hudson - nice
Jackson Hudson - too rhymey
Aric Hudson - Eric would be fine
Jacob Hudson - Jacob is sooo popular...

Annika Marie (Annie for short) - I agree with the PP that this is too different in style. How about Anastasia or Annemarie?
Isabella Marie - again, very popular
Elizabeth Marie - nice, but also popular

Have you considered:
Josephine
Victoria
Veronica
Matilda
Eleanor(a)

Aaron
Noah
Benjamin
Nathaniel
Zachary

With Alexandra Estelle and Adam Ronald:

Nicholas Hudson -- flows well, and Nicholas and Alexandra are a good match (works fine with Adam as well ... just an observation )

Jackson Hudson -- I have to say NO here. The double -son endings actually sound quite comical, I'm sorry to say. John Hudson, nn Jack -- or even Jack as a given name -- are fine, but Jackson Hudson is too much.

Aric Hudson -- are you sure you're not going for the A thing? Stick with Eric, in that case. ;)

Jacob Hudson -- this is so popular, but Jacob does seem a natural brother to Adam

Annika Marie (Annie for short) -- this seems too close to your dd's name, especially with the nn Annie (which I've even heard used for Alexandra)

Isabella Marie -- that's better. Seems a good fit for you.

Elizabeth Marie -- Isabella seems to work better with Alexandra, but Elizabeth is good too. Lots of nn options. My only concern is that the combo overall is so common, since the mn will be Marie.

Hi there. Here are my thoughts:

Nicholas Hudson-I like this, & it goes very nicely w/your kids' names.

Jackson Hudson-Jackson is so super trendy. Don't do it. Also, JackSON HudSON doesn't flow that nicely.

Aric Hudson-I like Eric a lot. Aric looks odd.

Jacob Hudson-That's very nice. Super popular, but a good name.

Annika Marie (Annie for short)-Very very sweet. It's perfect.

Isabella Marie-Meh. Isabella is lovely, but there are so many of them. It's getting old.

Elizabeth Marie-Okay, there are a lot of Elizabeths too, but it just seems more classic & doesn't get stale. I love this one.

Hope this helps!

I should note that Aric is a family spelling- was Erik but when he came over- Aric. Any spelling would be fine: Aric, Erik, or Eric.

Thanks for the continued feedback!

I love the name Jack Hudson. We've talked about using that for a boy. I like it better than Jackson Hudson (that double -son doesn't sound good IMHO).

Nicholas, Jackson and Jacob are all very very popular right now, but of those three, disregarding popularity I like Nicholas the best, Jacob next, don't like Jackson at all

as for Aric - I love the name Eric, but I definitely do not like that Aric spelling - I think Eric would go well with Alex and Adam if you aren't worried about having an A

Isabella and Elizabeth are also very popular, Isabella has become a trendy kind of popular, brought back from being "old-fashioned" - I personally don't like either of them

I'm not crazy for Annika either though

I think Aubrey would be a good match for Alexandra and Adam

good luck
