2nd Baby Name

Boy Names
1

We are currently are expecting baby #2 and are having a hard time with boy names. We do not know the gender, but already have a girl’s names since we didn’t use it the first time around. I want the name to go with our son’s name and our girl name (since we plan to use it if/when we have a girl down the line). For boy names we tend to like more formal names that have nicknames that are “cool”

Our sons name is [name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_m]Whittaker[/name_m], goes but [name_u]Whit[/name_u]. Our girl name is [name_u]Hayden[/name_u] [name_f]Grace[/name_f].

Our top favorites for names are as follows (in no order)

[name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m], go by [name_m]Nate[/name_m]
[name_m]Wesley[/name_m], possible go by [name_m]Wes[/name_m] or just [name_m]Wesley[/name_m]
[name_m]Boden[/name_m], go by [name_u]Bo[/name_u] or [name_m]Bodie[/name_m]
[name_m]Truett[/name_m], nn [name_m]Tru[/name_m] (but not what he would go by everyday) - nervous this has too much of the same sound as “[name_u]Whit[/name_u]”

Any suggestions?

Great names!
I like [name_m]Wesley[/name_m] and [name_m]Boden[/name_m] alot!

I do like [name_m]Truett[/name_m] (nn [name_m]Tru[/name_m]) alot, but I agree it may be too close to [name_u]Whit[/name_u] if you call him by his full name. [name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_m]Truman[/name_m]?

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

Your son’s name is darling!

Here are my thoughts:

[name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]-[name_m]Nate[/name_m] & [name_u]Whit[/name_u] are great together. [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] is handsome.

[name_m]Wesley[/name_m]-I like this w/[name_u]Whit[/name_u]. Usually I wouldn’t recommend repeating initials, but [name_m]Wes[/name_m] & [name_u]Whit[/name_u] are cute.

[name_m]Boden[/name_m]-Meh. This seems a little trendy.

[name_m]Truett[/name_m]-Not sure I love this one. Kind of close to [name_u]Whit[/name_u], too.

Suggestions:

[name_m]Ace[/name_m]-You could basically do any ‘A’ name to get this nn. I like it w/[name_u]Whit[/name_u] a lot.

[name_m]Bastian[/name_m]/[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] nn Bash
