baby boy names

So, Rich and I are having a hard time coming up with a name for our fifth son, due in February.  We have plenty of time to decide, but he and I both are looking for some input on the list we have come up with so far.

Our new boy will probably look something like this:

The names we already have used are:

Jacob Richard
Caleb James
Ethan Gregory
David Lloyd

 

And, here is our short list of possible names for the next one.  They are all Biblical names, by the way.  Let me know what you think.  We stayed up talking about it last night and Rich made me laugh when he said he was about ready to offer a 100 dollar reward to the person who could name him.    

Asher  “happy”. 

Elias  “the Lord is God”.

James  “one who supplants, replaces”

Peter  “a rock”

  1. I like Asher too ~ and Elias is okay.  But I think the middle name should be Shane ~ after Shanda ~ since one of the boys’ middle names is already Richard.  Peter Shane is cute ~ enjoy this process!

  2. i do like asher, although elias is a very nice name also,i like the meaning of it.when you line all your boys up side by side like that it is amazing how much they look alike!i can hardly tell jacob and ethan apart on your log sometimes.
    we still don’t have a definite girls name picked out yet.i have never had such a hard time with it,…went to the doctor today and the heart beat was 140 and the baby was active,moving like crazy.both of my girls were in the high 160’s everytime.i am begining to wonder!(the boys were both in the 130’s to 140’s).

  3. I think I like Peter the best because it goes well with your his brothers names.  I like all of the names thought so far.  I like Asher because it is unique but if I were a boy I don’t know if I’d like that for my name–just being honest.  You don’t hear Elias much but I like that name! Love you! Elisha

  4. What about Brandon Elias? Or Jonathan something? My mom named my brother Jonathan David so he would always be his own best friend (they were best friends in the bible…)Anyway you have adorable children and I am sure the new little guy will be just right…and I love Davy-do’s nickname!!! too Cute!!

  5. I like Asher James.When Queena and Ethan had their baby they went to the hospital with a list and then waited till “Sweet Baby Dorie” was born into this world before they picked the name just right for her!

  6. In case you’ve noticed, I keep coming back to read everyone else’s comments.  (lol)  Looks like Asher, Elias and Peter are the favorites.  So…tell us…which do you like better versus your husband?? *Penny

  7. Longtime reader, first time comment.  I love thinking about baby names.
    I like fren’s suggestion of Peter Shane!  Or Micah Shane which is not on your list!

  8. Asher is different, but not weird. Which makes it perfect in my estimations! 🙂 I really like James too. My favourite Biblical names are probably Joseph, (I think “Joey” as a nicname is adorable!) or maybe Adam.Goodluck with selecting a name! You’re bless with such a handsome family! They’re going to break a few hearts someday! 🙂 lol oxo.

  9. Hello Shanda!  How about the name Matthew.  I have a brother “Matthew James” and he has a precious and priceless personality.  I like someone’s suggestion of the name Shane for a middle name after you.  Have agreat day! 

  10. I’d have to put my vote in for Elias. Or Micah, as some of the other commenters have suggested. And I think Elias Peter has a very nice ring to it!My husband and I had a terrible time coming up with a boy’s name for our second child. The girl’s name we agreed on almost instantly, but it took a while before we found the perfect boy’s name–and we still can’t agree on a middle name! Maybe it will be a girl and save us the hassle of choosing …

  11. Love the name Asher! But, I think James or Peter goes great with the other five kiddos names you have…I noticed your pattern of five letters in each name…love that!

  12. OK OK OK well I love the meaning of Asher and I like the name but to me ASHER I*** does not sound right that is how we (jason, me and Abbie think anyways) Our vote is for Elias Robert! But whatever I am sure we will be having this talk for the next 4months hahahha! 

  13. I like Asher and Elias, just because they are different.  Have you considered Levi?  We wanted to use it, but we already knew a man (and now several others) with the same first and last name.

  14. your sons are adorable.
    my brothers all have Biblical names too.
    jacob titus
    samuel david
    abram michael
    had i been a boy my name would have been joseph….not sure what the middle name would have been.
    good luck!
    ps. i like asher best i think.
    pss. how did you get your playlist pink !?

  15. Oh my goodness, fufth sons?

    I love James, this name is so cute

    hope god bless you
