Hi,
My sister is expecting her third child in a couple of months and is expecting a boy after having had 2 girls, named Alice and Phoebe. She is stuck for names, so would like some opinions on her shortlist, which is:
Flynn
Samuel
Thomas
I would be grateful for any opinions to relay back to her.
Thanks!

Samuel.
Matches with her daughter's names well, as does the NN Sam.

The Phoebe I know has a brother named Sam so that would be my pick. I quite like Tom too. Not so keen on Flynn.

I love both Thomas and Samuel from her list but I prefer Samuel with her daughters names. Flynn is good too but not quite as classic as Thomas, Samuel, Alice and Phoebe are.

Alice, Phoebe and Marcus
Alice, Phoebe and Oliver
Alice, Phoebe and Benjamin
Alice, Phoebe and Lucas/Luke
Alice, Phoebe and Hamish
Alice, Phoebe and Lachlan
Alice, Phoebe and Tobias
Alice, Phoebe and Elliot
Alice, Phoebe and Xavier
Alice, Phoebe and Jacob
Alice, Phoebe and Vincent
Alice, Phoebe and Dominic
Alice, Phoebe and Timothy
Alice, Phoebe and Daniel
Alice, Phoebe and Damien
Alice, Phoebe and Mitchell
Alice, Phoebe and Michael
Alice, Phoebe and Christopher
Alice, Phoebe and Oscar
Alice, Phoebe and Darcy
Alice, Phoebe and Declan
Alice, Phoebe and Matthew
Alice, Phoebe and Harrison
Alice, Phoebe and Henry
Alice, Phoebe and Isaac
Alice, Phoebe and Sebastian
Alice, Phoebe and Nicholas
Alice, Phoebe and Julius/Julian
Alice, Phoebe and Liam
Alice, Phoebe and James

Thomas is too popular these days (and who wants Tom for a NN!), so one of the others would be better.

Suggestion of other names she might like (most of these are NMS)
- Finlay (me likely!)

- Ethan
- Noah
- Connor
- Owen
- Jacob
- Isaac
- Matthew

I like Flynn best.

Samuel then Thomas.
I like Flynn but it starts similarly to Phoebe and the two names sound a bit like a tongue twister when said together.

Samuel is divine. I have the sweetest Samuel myself

What a gorgeous sibset! I love Alice and Phoebe!
Of the names sugested my pick would be Samuel. But I think Alice, Phoebe and Henry would be perfect.

I love Samuel and Thomas.
Flynn does nothing for me.
Considering she already has 2 classical names, I would stick with that theme which make Samuel and Thomas ideal.

Thanks everyone for your responses, especially for the other name suggestions which I'll pass onto her. I love Henry and Benjamin too...
