I'm 8 weeks away from having bubs #3 and struggling with names. We already have: Braedan Nicholas & Elysia Gloria (middle names are family related). Our list so far: Boy: Riley Jamie Joshua Girl: Paige Caitlin(still not 100% on the spelling). Haven't thought of middle names but most probably have a family connection as well.. So hit me with your suggestions... This post has been edited by Coops07: 21/02/2013, 08:50 PM

I like James NN Jamie, and don't mind Joshua but it's too popular for me. Really dislike Riley. I like Caitlin but not Paige so much.

All your listed names are fine IMO with the exception of Jamie. I don't mind it but it's a bit 'lightweight'. Suggestions: Rylan or Maeve

Boys - I pick Joshua from your list. I dislike Riley and Jamie I prefer as nn for James. If you love Riley go for it though! Girls - both good names.
