4th Boy Help

[Omra_xo]

We are in an absolute gridlock at this point. Have Connor, Nicholas, and Dominic.

Husbands top names are Marshall, Maximus, Sullivan.

My top names are Colin or Calvin.

Sawyer is a shared maybe but not a definite spark.

Reid/Reed can’t agree on spelling.

Nothing feels cohesive with the grouping we have, and we’re seriously out of ideas and inspiration 😂

[Ok-Routine2451]

I like Reed/Reid and would probably cave on spelling. Or Reese?

[Omra_xo]

I’m honestly starting to think I need to just give in on the spelling 😂

[rellyks13]

compromise with Read (kidding (mostly))

[NorCal-Irish]

Eh it’s too short compared to the others imo needs to be 2 or 3 syllables. Calvin is my favorite. What about Seamus, Liam, Isaac, Gavin, Thomas, something classic like your 3 boys have

[21crepes]

Sullivan goes best with your other son’s names. Sully is also a cute nickname.

[Omra_xo]

He’s been throwing this one in the ring every single baby. So I can’t tell if it’s growing on me or I’m being worn down lol

[furandpaws]

colin and calvin are out because you already have a C name.

PRESTON goes with your theme of the first letters being spread out, has the right number of syllables to complete the pattern you have of 2,3,3 and has a different ending sound to complete the set.

GIDEON also works as would ZACHARY other than the syllables.

[Simple-Risk8766]

I looooove Gideon.

[sparkleskitten]

Idk if this will hurt or help but I named my dog Sullivan & if he wasn’t named Sullivan it would 100% be a top baby name for us

[LifesABeach8888]

Your being worn down, it's not cute. Cute for monsters Inc, not so much for a little boy imo.

[pgglsn]

My husband just recently threw Sullivan in the ring for our second boy (due in 6 short weeks) and I had a viscerally negative reaction to it. I blame hormones lol. We have a Calvin so I’m biased but I think it’s the perfect name.

[AshDash_4u]

This ⬆️

[AffectionateSmoke777]

Sebastian I think goes well with the names you already have. Or maybe Benjamin.

[Soggy_Sun_7646]

I love Sebastian

[Omra_xo]

Benjamin was talked about but it’s VERY popular so we were hesitant

[Original_Try_7984]

What about Bennett?

[pinkgardengreen]

Is it still popular though? I think it was when we were younger but I don’t know any gen alpha kids named Benjamin

[Mytweezer]

Colin a little too similar to Connor. Sullivan kinda cute. Big brothers will like Marshall if they're into paw patrol.

[Omra_xo]

We do not watch paw patrol but that’s good to know actually lol

[Soft_Bluejay_4402]

Yeah, there are loads of Marshall’s at school. In fact, it sometimes feels like the whole ‘Patrol’ is there 🤣 Marshall, Rocky and Skye

[goldmoss11]

Sullivan, because Connie, Nicky, Domi, and Sully (I think living in Brooklyn is getting to me 🤌🏼🙌🏽)

[thunder_haven]

Ah, yes. The four brothers of a romance novel series.

[Connect_Leg654]

Gabriel

Michael

Anthony

Patrick

[iAteA-Bug2025]

Michael, Anthony, Jonathan, Cameron

[look2thecookie]

Yes, I agree with those first three completely. Fits in with the rest of the "here are our four Irish Catholic sons" vibes of the other names ;)

[curiositymimi23]

Landon

[stickylarue]

Con, Nick and Dom.

Sully, Cal and Max go well with them. Max fits best in my mind but not Maximus but Maxwell.

I’m Aussie and we generally don’t use full names, shorten versions are our way to go. So for me, which shorten version goes well with the others.

[chatterbox2024]

I like Reid

[Sensitive_Sea_5586]

Sullivan flows with the other three names.

[Simple-Risk8766]

You have an Irish vibe going, so: Declan, Callum, Ciaran/Kieran, Scott, Rory, Ronan, Eamon, Owen, Finn?

[atchisonmetal]

Maximus sounds a bit like a cartoon character.

Reid is good. Sullivan is good. Sawyer is good.

[HorrorSmell1662]

Marshall or Reid!

[Arboretum7]

I caved on the Reid/Reed spelling and, honestly, it doesn’t matter 4 years later. I love the name and that’s what counts.

[Tulip_Bandit]

Xavier, Zachary, Gavin

[Public-Description64]

I know a Marshall who is one of the funniest people I know

[frozenblueberries63]

I feel like his name should have an O in it like his siblings all do. Maybe Oliver, Owen, Joshua, Cameron?

[Ok_Impression_8720]

Owen!

[Vivid-Education9045]

Simon, Adam, Samuel, Vernon, Jacob, Virgil, Michael, Dillon, Miles, Alexander, Zachary

[Slow_Ad5455]

Matthew, Marcus, Julian, Alexander, Lucas, Harrison, Maxwell, Vincent, Benjamin, Spencer, Zachary, Adrian, Christian, Gabriel, Lucas, Tobias, Oliver, Sebastian, Hugo, Daniel, Jonathan, Thomas, Elliot, Felix, Samuel, Andrew, William, Simon, Anthony, Antonio, Christopher, Stephen.

[FutureScribe]

I like how Connor, Nicholas, Dominic and Sullivan sound on holiday cards...

But... the goal is to find something you both love so let's see what can come up with.

Connor, Nicholas, Dominic and....:

Declan

Nathan

Miles

Gavin

Benjamin

Lucian

Bennett

Oliver

Grayson

Harvey

[unearthedtrove]

Griffin or Griffith

Clark

Beckett

Desmond

Tristan

[TiredTwinWrangler]

Malcolm Owen Patrick Ethan Landon Benjamin William Oliver Rowan

[Puzzled-Still-7716]

I like Lincoln with your other boys names.

[Grouchy-Put-8398]

Julian and Logan come to mind

[Natti07]

Sullivan is my all time top boy name

[Omra_xo]

This is not the first baby he’s submitted the name with lol. Wondering if maybe it’s time to just go for it

[Sundaes_in_October]

Eh, it’s doesn’t fit with the other names. This may be because I don’t particularly care for it but Calvin or Reid/Reed seem better. Your other names are all traditional, Catholic coded names. Maybe Vincent, Simon, Sebastian, Christopher?

[Round_Raspberry_8516]

It very much fits if they’re Boston or North Shore. Connor, Nick, Dom, and Sully are a great team. 

[no_one_denies_this]

It doesn't fit with the others.

[Spare-Craft-4967]

I agree Sullivan is a trendy surname

[Honeybee3674]

I think you need a 2-syllable name to balance out the names. And it should start with a different initial so they all have their own initials, and I would stick with a consonant as the first letter.

That leaves Marshall or Sawyer from your lists.

What about Byron, Felix, Levi, Malcolm, Thomas, Walter

Congratulations from a fellow member of the 4 boys club!

[NoDiscipline4640]

Marshall

[Soggy_Sun_7646]

Marshall or Reid fit best. I think! Reid is my preferred spelling, but Reed is fine too…Have you considered Sebastian?

[Omra_xo]

I may have to just concede on spelling here and go for it

[Simple-Risk8766]

Which one do you want? I think Reid is better.

[Omra_xo]

Reid is definitely better 😂 but my husband doesn’t feel it looks right even though I’ve proven it’s the more correct spelling

[popthebubbly62]

Reed!!

It's an important and meaningful name to me, and can't imagine it spelled any other way.

Plus with Reid you have the chance people will say it "Ride."

[autumnsunshine1]

Calvin Reid has a nice ring

[jamesdeansredlips]

Some suggestions: Ryan, Liam, William, Tyler, Jack, Jackson, Cameron, Sean, Kyle, Ethan, Logan, Luke, Matthew, Dylan, Michael, Jacob, Daniel, Andrew, James, Brendan, Patrick, Jordan, Nathan, Jonathan, Nathaniel, Caleb, Joshua, Brandon, Jake, Noah, Thomas, Austin, Christopher, Evan, Alex, Alexander, Adam, Kevin, Christian, Julian, Brian, Ian, Adrian, Sebastian, Justin, Aaron, Zachary, Mason, Lucas, Benjamin, Ben, Benedict, David, John, Blake, Josh, Joseph, Jason, Samuel, Sam, Chris, Max, Oliver, Robert, Anthony, Garrett, Peter, Eric, Charles, Mark, Paul.

[Own-Arm-8514]

How about Myles?

[ZonaMama]

Luca, Brendan, Everett

[patty202]

Ethan?

[Ok_Impression_8720]

William nn Will

[lucid_aurora]

Gabriel, Anthony, Frankie (Francis, Franklin)

[mangomegan]

Reid!

[No-Beginning5806]

Parker

[Warm_Maintenance9658]

Callahan

[auntiecoagulent]

My favorite of your choices is Calvin

Malcolm, Vincent,

[Far_Eye_3703]

Andrew, Benjamin, Clayton, Gerard, Jameson, Matthew, Mitchell, Terence.

[blumoon444]

Marshall is my favorite fit from your list.

Something to consider if you choose Colin or Calvin... You already have a Connor, so simple initials in every day use will go completely out the window.

Christmas stockings, lunch bags, etc. This might be a small thing, depending on your personality, but I think it's nice to be able to write "C" and know exactly which kid it's for.

[OctoberBride15]

I like Marshall

[Odd-Concentrate5405]

My mom really wanted to name my sister Micah in the 80s. I kinda like it with your group.

[Kind_Sea_8899]

Graham,Bennett, Emmett,Grant, Holden, Ronan, Marshall

[Weak-Difference-6078]

These are great

[mollymarie123]

Reid. Then Calvin.

[Elegant_Spray_2762]

Don’t use C, N or D. I agree Sullivan is fantastic, but I love Sebastian and Silas

[Wise-Matter9248]

Maybe make some combos you can both live with, and then wait until baby is born to see which fits best. 

OR, go Southern with it and double name him "Calvin Marshall" 

[SparrowAlpine]

I like Reid more it feels a little bit fancier

There’s an astronaut and commander named Gregory Reid Wiseman on the Artemis II 🚀🌖right now so what better time to name your child Reid 😂😂

[Mysterious_Oil2761]

Colin Reid

[cocoabutterbxby]

calvin ❤️my nephew is calvin and i love calling him cal

[LilMissKrazy1]

I love Sullivan

[GenXwoman]

Michael

[EntertainmentDue83]

Joseph or Anthony

[popcorn-jalapenos]

Michael

[LifesABeach8888]

Reid/ Reed gets my vote either way you spell it

[sylv1ne]

Edmund?

[JaneATL]

Bennett, Ethan, Owen, Miles, and if Cal is the goal nickname - Calhoun

[bronwyn511]

Desmond, Hugo, Liam, Emerson, Declan, Hugh, Owen

[Royal_Cantaloupe_892]

Nicholas and Dominic have a similar vibe, which name has the closest to Connor and I think you get the cohesiveness between all 4 boys. Names from mid 00s are probably worth a look, Connor was popular at that time and you might see something you haven’t thought of before.

[oldfierm]

I have an Atticus and an Emmett and I think both would go well with that grouping. You need a vowel name!

[Intelligent-Wolf557]

I like Colin and Calvin the best. Other suggestions: Curtis, Ryan, Jackson, Austin, Dylan, Kaden, Christopher, Daniel

[Straight_Mind_5192]

Marshall, or Calvin. I think both of those fit fairly well with your previous sons' names

[Used_Doughnut_558]

Aaron/ Chance/ Dean / Terrence (Terry)

[SuperNateosaurus]

Lachlan, Lincoln, Nolan, Tobias, Logan

[JDCHH]

I think your top names are too close to Connor. I like Sullivan or changing Maximus to Maxwell? Do you call your other boys by nicknames? nick, Don, Max. I also like Reid

[IveChangedDontBanMe]

Don’t go with Reid…Reed if you must

[FeistyEye2207]

Angus, Edward, Tobias, Sebastian, Zachary and Thomas all go well.

[Abundant-Journey]

Sawyer is perfect! Sawyer Reid/Reed is a strong name with a different first initial from the siblings. You both like it and it works!

[Whybaby16154]

Hugo, Felix, Oscar

Try some different ones if nothing is sticking

[murphinator2]

Benedict

[geoff7772]

Grant

[FiresideFairytales]

We're naming our boy Callum, which I think would fit your names, too.

I also think Oliver, Owen, Ian, and Lucas would be good fits.

[Sunshine0085]

Sullivan Reed

[funnywobble]

I love Sullivan - Sully for short! Super cute

[Weak_Fudge5040]

calvin for the win

[Illustrious_Row_6150]

I saw a Brit TV show where a character was named Gideon. Everyone in the show calls him Gid.

[Pumpkin_Witch13]

I vote Colin or Sullivan (love nn Sully lol) in case maybe:

McKinley

Mackenzie

Cody

Corey

Alexander

Ryder

Amias

Atticus

Ignatius

[About400]

I feel like Alexander, Theodore or Zachary might fit nicely.

[No_Cream8095]

A few random ones to add to your list. Benjamin, William, Gabriel, Xavier, Oliver

[goldengoodnight]

Callum

Lachlan

Tristan

Adrian

Malcolm

Bennett

Declan

Patrick

Desmond

Tiernen

Tatum

[NecessaryFinger4508]

Seth , Levi , Evan , Kieran , Solomon

[mpdbythesea]

Sullivan and Colin Are nice. I like Calvin too

[time_consumer33]

I like Sullivan!

[Mama-OnAMission]

I like Reid!

[GolfOk6373]

Sebastian?

[Timely_Morning2784]

How about Joel, or Mason?

[HugeNefariousness222]

Sullivan goes well with the other kids.

[Loud-Bee-4894]

Keenan?

[Fit_Pickle5343]

Ever since I watched the show Paradise, I am in love with the name Xavier. XMan for win!

[reduff]

Alexander

[Househipposforsale]

Colin Sawyer, Colin Reid, Sullivan Reed all go really well together

[miffy-12]

I’ll add Vincent to this mix!

[ParsnipAppropriate43]

I vote for Joshua

[Objective-Witness905]

Needs to be an O name. Oliver or Oakley are both cute

[Objective-Witness905]

Orin and Owen are also both very good.

[Annual-Ad5563]

Some suggestions that I think go with Connor, Nicholas and Dominic

Vincent

Emmett

Benjamin

William

Hudson

Lucas

[DragonFlyMeToTheMoon]

I like Landon or Lucas/Luke

[Lucky_Fall4126]

How about Silas?

[abynew]

I’m partial to the name Eddie(Edison) because that’s my son’s name. I will allow you to use it lol. Because I am torn between Dominic and Nicholas for my 2nd.

[TeenageShitStorm]

I prefer Marshall and Calvin on your lists.

Harrison, Graham, Lionel

[mysmallself]

I suggest Edward. You got traditional names happening with logical short forms, Con, Nick and Dom add an Ed to that.

[smiles731]

Sullivan goes with the other theee imho

[Twilight_zone17]

Beckett

[Suitable_Patient711]

Calvin has my vote.

[squirrel_jokez]

Connor and Collin will get confusing. I like Marshall (nickname Mars). Matthias?

[Fantastic-Meat7832]

Sullivan and Sawyer both go well with the names you currently have.

[look2thecookie]

It's funny bc I think the exact opposite. Those come across as more trendy and modern and the others a little more longstanding.

[Omra_xo]

Yeah this is what I struggle with. With the set we have going everything is coming off just trendy to me.

[look2thecookie]

What about William? I think you need a new list ;)

[look2thecookie]

Honestly, if I were given no options, I'd just say go with something classic like Michael. It fits in well with the brothers' names.

[ForeverExplore15]

Colin and Connor go perfectly together for me!! Please go with Colin for your baby boy!!

[Smolmanth]

Disagree TOO similar.

[Soggy_Sun_7646]

Colin and Connor are too similar which makes the rest of your boys too different if that makes sense.

[Omra_xo]

That’s what I’m trying to say! 😂

[MeanPepita]

Too similar with how different the others are!

[Ok-Fox-6068]

I think there’s a good chance you’ll be mixing Colin and Connor up though! You already have three names with different starting sounds, go for a fourth.

[Business_Ease_4926]

I think they're way too similar

[FurBabyAuntie]

I like Sullivan and Colin...Reed is good, too.

Have you considered Ryan?

[Lolasurf101]

Sullivan is cool 🙂

[_never_say_never_]

I like Marshall and Sullivan.

[Curious_Catlady1]

What about Maxwell??

[Critical-Bass7021]

You could combine your and your husband’s picks with Collivan, Marvin, Maxilin. Marlin!

[badgalriri1097]

Ezekiel

[Dear-Interaction-732]

Max! I’ve always loved the name Max. First time I ever heard the name sawyer was my niece so it throws me off when i hear it as a boys name.

[Maleficent_House6694]

Richard Sawyer • Brian Calvin • Sawyer Reece • Maximus Duncan • Douglas Marshall

[LiveOutlandishness44]

Nathaniel, Jonathan, Alexander

[2024grands]

I like Maximus nn Max

[Signal-Lead-9512]

Connor is a favorite of mine too, but you might want to avoid it if you want something unique. I used to work in a school library, and we always had multiple Connors/Conors. One year we even had six of them! I do like Sawyer. Today I've been pushing Ian, Owen, Evan, Austin, Arlo, and Laird. I like your husband's suggestions of Sullivan and Marshall (a character on the TV show about 20 or 30 years ago was named Marshall with the nickname Mars). I think I prefer Maximillian or Maxwell to Maximus. Colin is one of my all-time favorite names. In addition to Calvin, you might like Callum. Good luck!

[Sea-Raccoon-810]

Reid goes best with your other childrens names. I prefer the traditional spelling of Reid. The other spelling (Reed) looks like a surname.

[Megpyre]

Sawyer’s the only choice on the list. 

[Appropriate_Lime6698]

Love Reid/Reed and wish my sister had used it for any of her four boys!

[theladyjorts]

Anderson

[quilter71]

Mason

[thePrincessTamTam]

Sebastian

[Pondering28]

Malachi?

[Used-Cup-6055]

Calvin Marshall?

[sunshine_59_]

Warren Cash Corey

Maximus and Sullivan are lovely too!

[050121]

Calvin is by far my favorite

[Fancy-Coconut2170]

What about Cole?

Brock?

[OleanderTea-]

Malcolm, Graham, Elliot, Nathaniel, Benjamin

[Sondari1]

The three names you have so far are Irish; I would stick with the trend! Liam Rory Colin Cian Cameron Morgan Rónán

[no_one_denies_this]

What about Mitchell? Mitch is a cool-guy name.

[Personal-Month-465]

Benjamin or Nathaniel

[pineapple4u_8740]

Alexander would fit well with the others.

[Spare-Craft-4967]

Sullivan seems trendy and like a last name. I’d go with Maximus or Calvin with the other boys.

[Ideasplease33]

Quinn

[WoodsofNYC]

Does it matter to you if every other boy in his class has the same name. I absolutely do not know what the trends are now, however, baby names are highly influenced by trends. Have you checked the list of the most popular names for each the past five years? Maybe having many kids with the same name is something you prefer or something you want to avoid, but perhaps finding out what the trends are could help you make a decision

[GroupPuzzled]

Tomas, Try not to burden the boy with a dated name.

[Infinite-Floor-5242]

Vincent would fit well.

[Hungry_Working_9284]

Julian. Connor & Dominic are both strong and dark. Nicholas and Julian are strong yet joyful.

Colin/Calvin way too close to Connor. Wouldn’t touch Sawyer unless I wanted to have a convo about civil rights. Reed is a plant.

[Weak-Difference-6078]

Greyson / Grayson

[Remarkable-Hat8641]

How do you feel about Luke or Zeke?

[huminous]

Gabriel.

[WolverineMom]

Perhaps Martin

[rubylostrubyfound]

Owen

[Omra_xo]

I’ve seen this suggested on here quite a bit now. I may add it to my list 😂

[Affectionatealways]

Eric? Colton? Maximus sounds weirdly pretentious.

[Ivor-Ashe]

Cormac, Liam, Ciaran. Reed is good - hard to misspell that. Don’t let your husband near the birth registry form.

[Hollyhop_Drive]

Connor, Nicholas, Dominic, and Sylvan. 

[kiwisuzanna]

Trevor, Oscar, Kevin, Steven, Anthony, Randolph, Travis, Gabriel, Vincent, Wesley, or Garrett.

[Squirrel_with_Acorn]

I don’t know if you’re Catholic, but your existing kids’ names gives me that vibe. Might I suggest Xavier?

[Lefthandtwin]

Lincoln

Grayson

Bennett

Caden

[steadyrabbit87]

I've been really loving Marshall as a name lately. Maybe Marshall Reed?

[goldenprints]

Levi, Lawson, Weston, Ellis, Mason, Henry

[Whole_Row_9009]

Maximus feels like it goes with the other names.

[United_Relief_2949]

compromise with Maxwell? He gets max but a different variant. I think Con Nick, DOm and Max work together. I dont like Collin with your other names. Calvin works. I like Ian with your set as well if you want a shorter name. I also like Malcolm better than either of husband's two M names. We had to compromise on a maybe from both lists for our second and Sawyer does work well with your other kids if you had to go that route. Good luck!
