6 weeks left, finally have some combos, WDYT?

My husband and I have completely different styles when it comes to names and still haven’t been able to come up with something we equally love. I like unique and he likes common/classic ([name_m]John[/name_m], [name_m]Matthew[/name_m], [name_m]Allen[/name_m]). I’ve come up with some combos I like quite a bit but I can tell he doesn’t love anything. His favorite name is [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] and came up with [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] [name_u]Grey[/name_u] lastnight. Both names are on my list so it’s the closest we’ve gotten to an agreement. Problem is our lastname starts with A and I worry about the monogram FAG.
Other combos
[name_m]Forrest[/name_m] [name_m]Rhodes[/name_m]
[name_u]Roan[/name_u] [name_m]Forrest[/name_m]
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m] [name_m]Hanan[/name_m]
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m] [name_m]Maximilian[/name_m]
[name_u]Easton[/name_u] [name_u]Everett[/name_u]
[name_u]Easton[/name_u] [name_m]Hunt[/name_m]
[name_u]Hudson[/name_u] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m]
[name_m]Greyson[/name_m] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] or Wylder [name_u]Grey[/name_u]
[name_u]Jameson[/name_u] [name_u]Steel[/name_u]
[name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] [name_u]Steel[/name_u]
If I could have my way I would definitely use [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] but he absolutely hates it. What do you think? Any suggestions?

[name_m]Forrest[/name_m] [name_u]Grey[/name_u] is nice, but if you’re worried about the initials maybe [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] [name_m]Rhodes[/name_m] is better.

My favorites on your list are [name_m]Greyson[/name_m] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m], [name_u]Hudson[/name_u] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m], and [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] [name_m]Maximilian[/name_m] if you’d like them to share the same initials.

[name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] or [name_m]Archer[/name_m]? Maybe [name_u]Calder[/name_u] instead of [name_m]Wilder[/name_m]? Good luck!

From your list and to go along with [name_m]Lincoln[/name_m], I would choose [name_u]Roan[/name_u] or [name_u]Hudson[/name_u]. I actually like them paired together - [name_u]Roan[/name_u] [name_u]Hudson[/name_u], especially since he hates [name_m]Wilder[/name_m].

I wouldn’t want FAG for a monogram so if you think that is something that will come up then I would try something else.

[name_m]Forrest[/name_m] [name_u]Hudson[/name_u]
[name_m]Forrest[/name_m] [name_m]Zane[/name_m]
[name_m]Forrest[/name_m] [name_m]Leo[/name_m]

Wouldn’t the monogram be FGA if your last name starts with an A? Maybe I’m misunderstanding what you mean by a monogram, but I think the initials FGA are fine…

[name_m]Forrest[/name_m] [name_m]Rhodes[/name_m] - This ends up sounding like [name_m]Forest[/name_m] Roads to me… Which isn’t a terrible visual to have with a name, but it just sounds like something you’re describing instead of a person… I don’t really like double word names (even though [name_m]Rhodes[/name_m] technically isn’t a word name, just sounds like it) for that reason. I don’t love [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] [name_u]Gray[/name_u] for the same reason, it kind of just sounds like a crayon to me. Not a deal breaker, but just my thought…
[name_u]Roan[/name_u] [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] - kind of the same issue as above, but not as bad.
Out of your other combinations, I like [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] [name_m]Hanan[/name_m], [name_u]Hudson[/name_u] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m], and [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] [name_u]Steel[/name_u]

@emsky we actually love the name [name_m]Archer[/name_m]. I just haven’t thought of a name I love to go with it. I think I’d prefer it as a mn though. I’m obsessed with the ‘wild’ part of [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] so similar names just haven’t done the same for me. :frowning:
@cengel73 [name_u]Love[/name_u] your suggestion [name_u]Roan[/name_u] [name_u]Hudson[/name_u]! I agree [name_u]Roan[/name_u] sounds good with [name_m]Lincoln[/name_m]. I like [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] [name_u]Hudson[/name_u] as well.
@shalexis thanks for your opinions! I never thought of [name_m]Forest[/name_m] [name_u]Grey[/name_u] sounding like a color, I don’t know what color it would be? Maybe a green-grey lol but I totally agree. Still doesn’t bother me so much as the initials. In the new monogram it’s the ln initial between first and middle. Your issue with [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] [name_m]Rhodes[/name_m] is actually one of the main reasons I love it. I does sound like a title but I like the picture it paints. :slight_smile:

I really like [name_m]Forest[/name_m] / [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] (:

If you like [name_m]Archer[/name_m] why not [name_m]Forest[/name_m] / [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] [name_m]Archer[/name_m]?
Idk if it sounds a bit too much for you, but I love it lol.

Next pick:
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m] [name_m]Maximilian[/name_m]!

I agree with the [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] [name_m]Archer[/name_m] idea. If you love it, I think it sounds amazing!

I like [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] [name_m]Rhodes[/name_m] (and like the visual of forest roads) the best from your list. I noticed [name_u]Bo[/name_u] is in your signature and really like the combo of [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] [name_u]Bo[/name_u] as well. The spelling [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] [name_u]Beau[/name_u] would be even better.

[name_m]Forest[/name_m] [name_m]Archer[/name_m] is a bit too occupational for me but [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] [name_m]Rhodes[/name_m] and [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] [name_u]Gray[/name_u] give me the same feeling of two-words-together names (like [name_f]Summer[/name_f] [name_u]Rain[/name_u]). I do really like [name_m]Rhodes[/name_m] and [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] [name_u]Gray[/name_u], though.

[name_m]Lincoln[/name_m] [name_m]Maddox[/name_m] and [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] [name_u]Roan[/name_u] or [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] [name_u]Bo[/name_u] would be great.

Perhaps you’d like Ames?

[name_m]Forrest[/name_m] Ames
[name_m]Forrest[/name_m] [name_m]Eames[/name_m]
[name_m]Forrest[/name_m] [name_u]Kai[/name_u]
[name_m]Forrest[/name_m] [name_m]Milo[/name_m]
[name_m]Forrest[/name_m] [name_u]Jude[/name_u]
[name_m]Forrest[/name_m] [name_m]Rhett[/name_m]
[name_m]Forrest[/name_m] [name_m]Eli[/name_m]
[name_m]Forrest[/name_m] [name_m]Graham[/name_m]

Hmmm I’ve never heard of the new monogram, but if that’s something that will bother your then it’s definitely worth thinking of alternatives! I can’t think of an actual color with [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] [name_u]Grey[/name_u], I think I’m just reminded of that because forest green is crayon and it’s similar. If you like the visual with [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] [name_m]Rhodes[/name_m] I think it could totally work, it just happens to be an issue that I think would bother me with my child’s name, but I wouldn’t think anything of it if I met someone with that name. Some double word names are worse than others, [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] [name_m]Rhodes[/name_m] is definitely not a bad one!

I like [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] [name_m]Archer[/name_m], even enough to add it to my list, but I agree with @alexandramae that it sounds a bit too occupational. I like the sound of Ames but after looking at the meaning it has to be a no for me lol. Especially because my first son is identical to his uncle and not his father haha.
@babymagic really like [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] with [name_u]Beau[/name_u] and we both agree that spelling is much more substantial just haven’t got around to changing my signature :slight_smile:
Any more suggestions?

[name_m]Forrest[/name_m] [name_m]Rhodes[/name_m]: maybe too r-heavy, but cute
[name_u]Roan[/name_u] [name_m]Forrest[/name_m]: same, but I love it
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m] [name_m]Hanan[/name_m]: I’m not too fond of [name_m]Hanan[/name_m]
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m] [name_m]Maximilian[/name_m]: I like it
[name_u]Easton[/name_u] [name_u]Everett[/name_u]: [name_u]Love[/name_u] both names, not together.
[name_u]Easton[/name_u] [name_m]Hunt[/name_m]: I love it
[name_u]Hudson[/name_u] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m]: I love it
[name_m]Greyson[/name_m] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] or Wylder [name_u]Grey[/name_u]: I love [name_m]Greyson[/name_m] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m]
[name_u]Jameson[/name_u] [name_u]Steel[/name_u]: I love it
[name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] [name_u]Steel[/name_u]: I don’t like it so much

I’d suggest [name_u]Jameson[/name_u] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m], [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] [name_u]Everett[/name_u], [name_u]Easton[/name_u] [name_m]Rhodes[/name_m].

I think [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] [name_m]Rhodes[/name_m] is very handsome, it gives a soothing image.

I love most of your combos

If [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] [name_u]Grey[/name_u] is your favorite I really wouldn’t worry about the monogram.
[name_m]Forrest[/name_m] [name_m]Rhodes[/name_m] - this is my favorite by far
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m] [name_m]Maximilian[/name_m] - love it
[name_u]Easton[/name_u] [name_u]Everett[/name_u] - I really love this even though it is an alliteration. Very cool Monogram.
[name_u]Hudson[/name_u] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] - I love it too.

Okay, first of all I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] your naming taste and I guess your husband’s too. First, I suggest not going with [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] at all if your husband hates it. Also if your last name begins with an A, his initials have to _ _A, so there is no possibilities of having the initials you hate. Okay, truthfully do you want your little son to be embarrassed about his name? Probably not so try to take the older fashioned names out like [name_m]Maximilian[/name_m]. I’ve never heard of someone named [name_u]Roan[/name_u], [name_u]Steel[/name_u], or [name_m]Hanan[/name_m], eve though I like the first two very much. My personal favorites on the list are [name_m]Rhodes[/name_m], [name_m]Forrest[/name_m], [name_m]Lucas[/name_m], [name_u]Easton[/name_u], [name_m]Hunt[/name_m] and [name_u]Steel[/name_u].
Here Are Combo’s I invented (and or liked):
[name_m]Forrest[/name_m] [name_m]Rhodes[/name_m]
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m] [name_u]Everett[/name_u]
[name_u]Easton[/name_u] [name_u]Hunter[/name_u]
[name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] [name_u]Steel[/name_u]
[name_m]Forrest[/name_m] [name_m]Hunt[/name_m]
[name_m]Forrest[/name_m] [name_u]Steel[/name_u]
[name_u]Hunter[/name_u] [name_u]Steel[/name_u]
[name_u]Steel[/name_u] [name_u]Hunter[/name_u]
[name_u]Easton[/name_u] [name_u]Steel[/name_u]
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m] [name_m]Maximilian[/name_m]
[name_u]Easton[/name_u] [name_u]Everett[/name_u]
[name_u]Easton[/name_u] [name_m]Hunt[/name_m]
[name_m]Rhodes[/name_m] [name_u]Jameson[/name_u]
[name_u]Jameson[/name_u] [name_m]Rhodes[/name_m]
[name_m]Rhodes[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Grayson[/name_m] [name_m]Rhodes[/name_m]
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m] [name_m]Rhodes[/name_m]
Since, as you see, I invented and liked MANY combos, I hope you can choose something from that list. Also, imagine if his initials were BAG, plus maybe his intials will be BOA or [name_f]AVA[/name_f]!!! Okay THAT would be bad! So you have a nice list and I hope the baby comes out happy, cute, and healthy but no luck needed for an amazing name! Can’t wait for the baby’s final name!!!

I like [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] [name_u]Grey[/name_u] and [name_u]Roan[/name_u] [name_u]Hudson[/name_u] a lot. All of the names are really cool. [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] is a favorite of mine, but I guess it’s been vetoed. You said your husband likes [name_m]Allen[/name_m], so would he like [name_m]Allen[/name_m] with a twist? For example, there are [name_u]Alden[/name_u] and Alder (like the tree). Or [name_m]Fraser[/name_m] (like the fir tree).

[name_u]Roan[/name_u] [name_m]Fraser[/name_m]
[name_m]Greyson[/name_m] Alder
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m] [name_u]Hudson[/name_u]
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m] [name_m]Griffin[/name_m]
[name_u]Everett[/name_u] [name_m]Rhodes[/name_m]

Good luck!

I love [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] [name_m]Rhodes[/name_m]. Definitely my favorite from your list.
