I love [name]Max[/name] and think it fits perfectly.
I agree. I like [name]Max[/name] the best out of your 4 choices when not considering sibling names but [name]Max[/name] and [name]Jack[/name] sound very similar to me - too similar for brothers. Have been really surprised to see how many people think [name]Max[/name] is a perfect fit, though… I like [name]Nathan[/name] (nn [name]Nate[/name]) with [name]Jack[/name] and [name]Claire[/name]. I also really like [name]Henry[/name] and [name]William[/name] (nn [name]Liam[/name] or [name]Will[/name]) with [name]Jack[/name] and [name]Claire[/name].
Good luck!
Thank you for all your thoughts berries! I swear I could find an issue with almost any name.
I do to hear that [name]Jack[/name] and [name]Max[/name] are similar but its seem impossible to find something DH and I agree with so it may be our compromise. I think I need to sell DH harder on [name]Luke[/name] which I think is perfect with [name]Jack[/name] and [name]Claire[/name]. I too love [name]Patrick[/name] especially since it brings with it all our heritage ( Irish/Italian/Jewish) and just worry about the nickname [name]Pat[/name] which I despise.
I personally like [name]Patrick[/name] [name]Anthony[/name]. Though [name]Max[/name] [name]Anthony[/name] would be my second choice.
Have you guys talked about [name]Peter[/name] at all? It gives me the same feeling as [name]Patrick[/name] but without the worry of “[name]Pat[/name]”. I think [name]Jack[/name] [name]Louis[/name], [name]Claire[/name] [name]Bonnie[/name], and [name]Peter[/name] [name]Anthony[/name] would sound sweet together! I could also see [name]Finn[/name] working well with [name]Jack[/name] and [name]Claire[/name].
Of your picks I voted for [name]Max[/name]. I know it could be a bit of a tongue twister with [name]Jack[/name] but I just love [name]Jack[/name], [name]Claire[/name], and [name]Max[/name] together.
Can’t wait to hear what you pick!
All the Patricks I know go by the full name only…
Me too. The days of shortening [name]James[/name] to [name]Jim[/name] or [name]Patrick[/name] to [name]Pat[/name] ended with our parents.
I voted for [name]Ryan[/name], but really all are great names. The main reason I didn’t vote for [name]Max[/name] is because it sounds pretty close to [name]Jack[/name]. Same goes for [name]Patrick[/name]. [name]Luke[/name] is really cute but didn’t flow as well as [name]Ryan[/name] [name]Anthony[/name], so that’s why I voted for [name]Ryan[/name].
I voted for [name]Luke[/name], because [name]Jack[/name] and [name]Claire[/name] both have strong “k” sounds to them; but unlike [name]Patrick[/name] which has the same “ck” ending as [name]Jack[/name], it stands alone while still including the strong “k” sound. It’s a very subtle “theme”, if you will.
Another vote for [name]Patrick[/name].
[name]Max[/name] [name]Anthony[/name]!!
I’m coming around to this way of thinking too. I like the monosyllabic [name]Luke[/name] with the hard K. It also continues to convey [name]Baby[/name]'s mixed heritage ([name]Luke[/name] [name]Anthony[/name] [name]Friedman[/name] is a winner!)
I love [name]Luke[/name] and totally agree. My other 2 top picks [name]Max[/name] and [name]Patrick[/name] do have similar sounds to [name]Jack[/name] which I have thought about. I do know of 2 other [name]Jack[/name] and [name]Max[/name] sibsets and 1 other [name]Jack[/name] and [name]Patrick[/name] sibset so its not a 100% deal breaker for me. For some reason my DH is obsessed with teasing choices of [name]Luke[/name] – [name]Luke[/name] Puke, [name]Luke[/name] I am your father etc. But over the weekend I pointed out that [name]Jack[/name] has far worse ones like Jackass, Jackoff and Hijack and he said he never really thought about those so he’d think about [name]Luke[/name] more. Hooray!
