Thoughts on this sibset
How do you feel about Heidi, Rhys, Griffin, and Bram?
(Current kids are Heidi, Rhys, and Griffin so Bram is the potential for the baby if it's male.)With two boys already, I feel like it's incredibly difficult to come up with male names that we haven't already crossed off or experimented with. Do you have any male name recommendations? We generally like names with Welsh, Dutch, Scandinavian, or German origins, but we're totally open to anything.

Sounds great! I happen to like the name Bram. Our very first pregnancy, we had chosen the name Abram for a boy, with Bram as a strong contender. I think it totally fits your other children's names.
Some other options:
Gregor
Glyn
Brice
Morgan
Gareth
Cade
Kelan
Reid
Fife
Riordan
Egon
Tavi / Tavish
Blaine
Franz
Rhett
Fritzetc.. hope that helps!

Perfect! I really like Heidi, Rhys, and Bram a lot. And they fit together so well. Griffin is less my style, but still they al sound great together. Have you considered Kai?

I love Bram, but as a nickname for Abram or Abraham, not on its own. I'd suggest either of those with Bram as the nickname. I really don't worry about sibsets "going together." I think that, practically speaking, most of the time they do "go together" for the simple reason that people tend to like names that are in the same style. But I don't think there's a necessity to try to find a name that will "fit in" with the siblings' names.

I dunno.
Rhys and Griffin go together, but Heidi sticks out - just as Bram does. I don't really think Heidi and Bram goes that well together, either. Maybe something like Ludwig ? More ideas:Oscar / Oskar
Dominic / Dominik
Luke
Wilhelm
Gabriel
Benjamin
Victor / Viktor
Samson
Madoc
Leo / Leonidas / Leopold etc
Philip
Theo
Axel
Quinn

Editing to add that I do like Bram - it's cool

I don't mind Bram with the other names, but it does seem a little different in style to your other kid's names. Personally I think Oscar, Toby, Isaac, Leo, Jude, Hugo, Felix, Darcy, Axel, Abel, Milo, Miles, Barnaby and Caleb would all work with your other kids names.

Just read your post and realised we both suggested Oscar, Leo and Axel. Sorry MoCro, this means you have to choose one of these names! ;-)

I think it sounds great! I'm a bit biased, as Bram is one of my favorite names, but really I do think they go together. They've got the same sort of vibe of like well-off country, if that makes sense?

I honestly feel that Bram is a good match for the others. Not too long, not too matchy.

I think Bram works in this sibset. If I could rearrange their ages I'd want it to be Bram, Heidi, Griffin, and then Rhys (because that's just how the names sound to be in terms of older/younger) but I don't think it clashes at all. Bram is a bit old-fashioned (in a good way) and so is Heidi, so the sibset is tied together.
