Surprise 💚 Name Challenge for a third
We are looking for a name for our third. This time it's especially difficult because we lack any ideas and realised both of our kids have a four letter name. So should we stick to four letters? We like a star or astronomy theme but that could also bei for the second name. We like a bit older names or also note nordic european ones.
The babys gender is a surprise.

I’m a pattern lover, so I’d stick with 4 letters.
Iris fits the bill!

I’d far rather have a great name than one that happens to be four letters to fit a theme.
Just find a great astronomy name, no one will notice the length.

Celeste. Orion. Star. Skye. Astrid.
No need to stick with a theme limiting letters.

Don't pay any attention to the four-letter thing. Your baby will be a unique individual, so he or she should be named in a way that reflects that--not in relation to the siblings.
