BA and Suggestion Request
A girl I went to college with has just had her second child. Mother is Emerald; father, Richard; and daughter, Sapphire (don't recall middle). The new addition is a BOY named Jade Hunter.
My brother and his wife are expecting their third boy. They've decided on Tobias for a first name (to be exclusively called Toby), but they're stuck on a middle name. Brother previously liked Elliot but has grown "meh" about it. My SIL has told me to send her as many suggestions as I want because they've got no idea. I've sent a bunch of suggestions already, and my SIL likes Elijah and Patrick best so far. Nothing really stands out though.
They already have a Colton James and Benjamin Michael.
I thought I would turn to you fine people to help them find a name for my nephew. So. Suggestions?
-----------------------------------------
Current favorites:
Callum / Tristram / Benedict / Hamish
Cordelia / Winifred / Edith / Margaret
Vote on my name list? Pretty, please? http://www.behindthename.com/pnl/114016

I think you have a pretty good handle on the kinds of names that are more there style, which is why I've already suggested most of them. Haha! Thanks all the same!

I think Jade sounds a bit down market on a girl, but it's kind of cool on a boy. That said, I agree that the "girls' name" thing could be problematic.
I've already suggested Tobias William. I think it sounds great on its own, but the last name starts with a W. I don't mind the alliteration, but I don't know how they feel about it, just that William wasn't a front runner. Thanks though!

Not wild about Jade on either gender, really, but seems more fitting on a girl. Love Hunter.

Last name ends with --er, so I've been weeding out any names that end in er/or/ar, but I suppose I should check with them on that. I've suggested a number of these names already, but there's still more than half of your list that I can run by them. Thanks!
Glad I had at least some that weren't already considered. Trying again for "normal enough" but not "popular traditional", since they must have considered, or your must have suggested, all the usual suspects from that latter category by now.
Sorry for any repeats...

Huhn. Emerald, Sapphire and Jade? Much as I love Jade for a boy, this is seriously cheesy. Especially as the husband/father is called Richard. Of course he must go by Rich, because he's surrounded by precious stones.
Also, Jade Hunter? He's hunting for jade-stones. Or maybe it is something akin to being a gold digger.
But, I am really loving Colton, Benjamin and Tobias as a sibset. Tobias Elijah gets my vote! It has a great rhythm. Saying it aloud is fun.
Suggestions:
Tobias Evander
Tobias Copeland
Tobias Lysander
Tobias William (to match James and Michael)
Tobias Claude (because William always makes me think of Claude)
Tobias Ishmael
Tobias Jasper
Tobias Jeremy
Tobias Luke
Tobias Luken
Tobias Quinn
Tobias Shiloh (it has assonance though)
Tobias Theodore (and he becomes a teddy bear!)
Tobias Xavier
Tobias Zachary
Tobias Nathaniel
Tobias Jonathan
Tobias Joseph (surprising fond of this)
Tobias Christopher (I couldn't resist calling him Toby Kit!)
