Katherine AlexandriaPotential Names for Baby #3:
Caspian James, Gabriel Ashton, Jacob Alexander

Caspian Lucille and Lydia Lucille go best I think.

Caspian for a boy. Lydia is my favorite of the girl names but I don't really like any of them in your sibset. I think you needs something more unusual but classic to bridge Andromeda and Katherine.

Gabriel Ashton or Autumn Elizabeth.||

Lydia Lucille is the perfect choice for a girl. If you go with Autumn, Katherine will look like the odd one out. If you pick Laura, then Andromeda becomes the family freak. Lydia is a good midway point between Katherine and Andromeda.Caspian is too rhymey with Katherine so that one's out for me. Jacob is too dull next to sister Andromeda. So the winner by default is Gabriel Ashton.

I think Autumn Elizabeth fits in best for the female combo. I really think any of the boy combos can work with Andromeda and Katherine: you have one unique name and one traditional name, Caspian would make perfect sense with Andromeda and not clash badly (in my opinion of course) with Katherine while Gabriel and Jacob would make perfect sense with Katherine and mot clash badly (again, imo...) with Andromeda. My favorite of the three is Caspian James though.Just wondering, and I know middle names aren’t used that often regardless, but it wouldn’t bother you to have an Alexandria and an Alexander in two of your children’s names?

Yes, it does bother me a bit, but my husband and I both have relatives that recently passed away, one of whom was named Alexandria and the other Alexander.

For a boy, I would say Gabriel Ashton. I was going to say Jacob Alexander, but after looking through some of the replies I realized it probably wouldn't be a good idea. For combinations, Gabriel Jacob or Jacob Gabriel would work. For a girl, I would say Laura May. For combinations, I'M totally loving Lydia May.

How about Gabriel Caspian? I really like Caspian James, but it might be a tad on the matching side with Katherine as Roxstar pointed out.
Lydia is beautiful. Lydia Autumn or Elizabeth May sound nice with your other girl's names.

Gabriel Caspian sounds like a good combo, I'll have to ask my husband what he thinks about it. Elizabeth May also sounds very pretty. Thanks for the suggestions!

Jacob Alexander and Laura May

The two names you already used are so far apart in sound and style that pretty much any name will sound right with one but not the other.Definitely not Caspian; it sounds way too similar to Katherinn.I vote for Laura May, but again, it makes Andromeda stick out that much more.
Don't use Alexander for a son's middle name; you already used Alexandria.Try Gavin James.

Thanks for pointing that out! I didn't realize Caspian and Katherine sounded alike.

Cool names. Caspian James gets my vote for a boy. Laura and Lydia are both great for girls but Autumn feels really out of place with andromeda and Katherine.

Not Caspian! Caspian and Katherine sound very matchy matchy.

Ooh, I didn't notice that. In that case I'd say Gabriel Caspian.

I love your daughters' names! Definitely Caspian James for the boy. Gabriel works but Ashton is too generic, and Alexander doesn't work when you already have Alexandria. For the girl, I'd have to cheat and make Lydia Elizabeth (or maybe Elizabeth Lydia). Laura May is nice but it's on the cute side, and sounds too 'country' for the more elegant names of the sisters. Same with Autumn. Lydia Lucille is just too alliterative and matchy.

I never thought of Lydia Elizabeth, but now that you've suggested it, it sounds like a beautiful name! I'll suggest it to my husband and see what he thinks.
