    Question Baby boy #5..need advice!

    We're expecting our fifth son in March, and I'd love some name ideas. Our other four boys are named Christian, Raymond, Anthony and Zachary. Our last name is Davis. We cannot use the following names because we have close cousins (share our last name) who have them: John, Ryan, Kyle, Henry, Joshua, and Matthew.There are several names I like, but none of them thrill me...

    Andrew, Joel, Jordan, Dylan, Gabriel, Nathan, Brett, Garett, Reeve, Yvon

    I'd love to know what you think of these, and also hear some fresh suggestions. I have not been able to talk with somebody except my wife, family or most friends too much about this because we are the only ones (along with a couple closest friends) who knows the baby's gender. Thanks in advance!

    As a mother of five boys, I know how hard it is to find more boys names. Here are some that I like:

    Xavier
    Sebastian
    Dion
    Alexander/Zander
    Cooper
    Logan

    Goodluck.

    I only have two boys and I am always calling them the wrong names - how will you go with five LOL!

    I love Gabriel, it is one of my son's middle names. I also like Jordan and Joel. Other ideas - Caleb, Nathaniel, or Samuel.

    GL! Let us know what you choose!

    I like Gabriel, Garrett and Reeve.

    they're all pretty different compared with your other boys' names though.

    Andrew is nice too.

    thanks a lot, Amanda, and I love your sons' names! I really like the suggestions of Logan, Alexander (but not sure that it sounds good with our last name), and Cooper.

    MantaRay, I'd love to use Nathan but there is just too much "N" sound with our last name. Gabriel is another of my faves but it seems too much of a departure from his brothers names. I also like Jordan, but do not know if my wife will go for it...
    Haha I am always calling them the wrong names too, but more often just "boys"!

    Thanks so much for your replies!

    I thought of another name Ronan.

    if you like Nathan there is always Nate Davis?
    There are a few Ronan's that i know of, not sure of the origin maybe it hasnt hit Canada yet

    from the names you have i like Dylan best ( i like y's in names!)

    not that this would matter but if you called him Yvon the initals of your boys would be CRAZY hey maybe thats a omen im sure it will be a bit crazy at times!

    ~*Niadla*~, Lachlan? Ok, I'll think about it

    nickers, well, i like how Nate Davis sounds, but i kinda don't like how Nathan Davis sounds.
    Yeah, me and my wife just noticed it after our fourth son was born, but really we both don't believe that initials can affect on our boys life choices or something of this sort. Anyway, our family a little bit CRAZY already(can it be in a different way with 4 boys in house lol?)!
