Hello,<\/p>\n

We are expecting our fifth child at the end of February. We have two girls and two boys and this one is going to be a surprise. My kids names are Madison, Brynnley, Cooper and Jayce. I have had no problems with a girl name as I am using the one I would have if the one before this was a girl, Emerson Dawn. Our last name is Klein (like the designer) and makes it a little tough for coming up with boy names. The middle name for this baby if a boy will most likely be Thomas which is my husbands middle name. I do all middle names after family members. My top choice was Declan but I found out a cousin named her son that and I don\u2019t want to reuse it. The rest of my list includes:<\/p>\n

Jameson
\nLiam
\nSkylar
\nJayden
\nBailey
\nEverett
\nJames
\nRowan
\nRemi
\nLachlan<\/p>\n

I am also wanting something that is not too common. When I had Madison it wasn\u2019t very popular yet but now there are three girls in every class of hers named that. I know that Jameson, Liam and Jayden are pretty popular right now :(. I also like names that can have nicknames. I would really appreciate some help since my husband has no interest in helping.<\/p>\n

Thank you,
\nSara Klein<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

From your list, the one I think fits best with the sibling group is Jameson. But I hesitate, because it seems so close to Jayce and Madison. At some point, especially with larger sibling groups, I look for a little less coordination.<\/p>\n

Jayden also fits very well, but I think Jayce and Jayden are too similar.<\/p>\n

James seems like a sudden swerve. All four names so far are new and modern, and then James is suddenly ancient and traditional. Also, it sounds so similar to Jayce.<\/p>\n

Skylar and Bailey are the right style, but in this group they’d strike me as more likely to be girls. The current usage of the name Bailey in the United States is unisex, but used much more often for girls: 2,929 new baby girls and 133 new baby boys given the name in 2014. The current usage of Skylar is similar: 4,732 new baby girls and 409 new baby boys given the name in 2014. (For the spelling Skyler, it’s 1,070 new baby girls and 911 new baby boys.)<\/p>\n

I think you would be unhappy with the popularity of the name Liam: not only is it currently the second most popular boy’s name in the United States according to the Social Security Administration<\/a>, but it’s also used as a nickname by many boys named William.<\/p>\n

Let’s see, what does that leave us? Everett, Rowan, Remi, Lachlan. I’m going back and forth on Everett: it’s more traditional, but on the other hand it’s a surname name, and strikes me as a reasonable fit with the other names. Rowan is unisex, but currently used more often for boys in the United States (770 new baby girls and 1,531 new baby boys given the name in 2014; for the spelling Rowen, it’s 103 new baby girls and 292 new baby boys). In this sibling group, I wouldn’t be sure if Rowan were a boy or a girl. Remi and Lachlan both seem like reasonable choices, though I have a little trouble saying Lachlan Klein: all those K and L and N sounds.<\/p>\n

If it were up to me, and I were choosing from your list, I think I’d be down to Remi.<\/p>\n

Now let’s see if we can make a list of more names to consider—though on your fifth time through this, I doubt I’ll mention any names you haven’t already considered.<\/p>\n

Baxter
\nCarson
\nGrady
\nGrayson
\nGriffin
\nHayden
\nHudson
\nJaron
\nMarshall
\nLogan
\nReed
\nSawyer
\nSpencer
\nTyler
\nWeston
\nWilson<\/p>\n

If you’re hoping to have more children and would like to use Emerson for a possible future girl, I might cross off Carson and Grayson and Hudson and Wilson, to avoid having three children with -son endings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
