Baby 3 Suggestions

[kh1824]

Hi all! Frequent lurker and poll voter, occasional commenter here (more so on TB, mainly lurking here!) looking for some name suggestions. I'll try to be concise, but it might be long!

We are not ttc #3 yet, but I'm starting to get the baby itch! I know many of you don't like these names, but dh and I had a hard time compromising! DS is Carter.William and DD is Hadley.Kathryn. Middle names are my parents' names.

Potential baby 3 names I like:
Caroline (my all time favorite, was afraid it was too matchy with Carter)
Annie (not sure what a nn for)
Evie (ditto above)
Oliver
Benjamin
Finn (not sure what a nn for)
Charles nn Charlie
Graham

Names I like but can't use: Violet, Evelyn, Maggie (nn of course), Beatrix nn Bea...not really any boy names I can think of though.

So! Marathon post later...thoughts? Favorites? Suggestions???

Thank you!!!

Thanks! That's kind of how I feel about Caroline and Charlie too. Love the suggestion of Alice! I really like Eliza too, but it doesn't flow with our last name - short, 2 syllables, long i in the middle.

Caroline- It's ok, but I agree that it's a bit too matchy with Carter. Charlotte would be a nice alternative.
Annie- Like. Full names could be Anna, Alexandra, Anastasia, Susanna, Marianne, Annabel (I feel this one is a but cutesy)
Evie- Love! Full names could be Evangeline, Genevieve, Eve, Eva

Oliver- Love.
Benjamin- It's ok; I prefer Benedict.
Finn- Love. It can stand alone, but I do prefer it as a nn. Full names could be Finnegan, Finnian, Finlay, Phineas. Also suggesting Flynn.
Charles nn Charlie- Like.
Graham- Love.

More suggestions:
Alice
Amelia
Clara
Elisabeth
Eloise
Eleanor
Iris
Ivy
Isabelle
Julia
Juliet

Caroline- I like this name. I don't think it's too matchy with Carter personally
Annie- I love this nickname. It could work with Anne, Anna, or Annabel
Evie- Sort of meh. Evangeline, Eve

Oliver- LOVE
Benjamin- I like a lot
Finn- DS is Finn full name. But we have a 3 syllable LN and it felt enough.
Charles- Meh. This name does nothing for me
Graham- Love

Thank you!!!

Ok:  My take away from above and suggestions are:
Benjamin Charles

Caroline  is lovely, I also like Annie as a nn but not as a first name.  I'm not a fan of Evie, it's too cutesy for me.
Caroline  Sarah comes to mind

Thank you for all of the suggestions!! I have definitely added more to the list to eventually be vetoed by DH. hopefully he will like some!
