We currently have a [name]Griffin[/name] and a [name]Grace[/name] and are expecting a baby boy. We are 99.9999% sure this will be our last child and we are strongly considering [name]Grant[/name] - I like the name individually and like that it goes with [name]Griffin[/name] and [name]Grace[/name], but am a little hesitant that it’s too much…however I feel like it might be weird to have [name]Griffin[/name], [name]Grace[/name], and then some name that is totally different (ex: we also like [name]Landon[/name] and [name]Logan[/name]). I’m wondering what comes to mind for a boy sibling to [name]Griffin[/name] and [name]Grace[/name]?
Also, we love the name [name]Cohen[/name] because of it’s sound and uniqueness, but we can’t use the name because it’s taken by some of our best friends. I saw the name [name]Coe[/name] on here the other day, which sounds too incomplete to me, but reminded me a bit of [name]Cohen[/name]. [name]Do[/name] any names that are similar come to mind?
So basically, I’m looking for name ideas that go great with [name]Griffin[/name] and [name]Grace[/name], and/or names that are similar to [name]Cohen[/name], or a boy name that ends in -n so that it’d match [name]Griffin[/name] … the only thing is I don’t want something super popular (which is my hesitation with [name]Logan[/name]). Thanks!
I would personally avoid names with similar endings to [name]Griffin[/name] and [name]Grace[/name] b/c I like it when siblings names have different sounds than one another or do not rhyme, but to each their own! I think Grant would fit nicely if you want to keep up the Gr theme. I don’t think it would be strange if you chose a name with a different sound, though. I know this is your last child, but if you had 3 children with Gr names and were having a fourth, then I would definitely stick w/ the theme so they weren’t the odd one out.
This name is very controversial due to the sanctity of it’s meaning, “priest”, in the Jewish faith. Out of respect I would not use it. I would not want to give my child a name that may be offensive to others.
What was your intention when you chose both Gr- names with the other two? Was it coincidence, did you think you wouldn’t have more, or did you want them to have matching initials? [name]Just[/name] curious. If it was just a coincidence, I think you can use another initial and no one will question it. Or if it was intended, then [name]Grant[/name] (or [name]Graham[/name]!) works. But I wouldn’t feel obligated if I were you. I am one of three girls and two of us have E names and one L, and we never thought anything of it.
Names that end in n: [name]Nolan[/name], [name]Owen[/name], [name]Ewan[/name], [name]Julian[/name], [name]Sebastian[/name], [name]Soren[/name], [name]Declan[/name], [name]Callen[/name], [name]Conan[/name], [name]Ronan[/name], [name]Damien[/name], [name]Calvin[/name]…
[name]Grant[/name] is one of my favorite names- possibly a future kid’s name. Others I like are
[name]Grayson[/name] (I even think [name]Gray[/name] for short is cute)
[name]Graham[/name]
[name]Gage[/name]
[name]Henry[/name]
[name]Declan[/name]
[name]Finn[/name]
[name]Owen[/name]
[name]Leo[/name]
[name]Weston[/name]
Also don’t think changing the letter is a big deal , plus if you have a 4th you won’t have to think of another G!
Oh I just love [name]Grant[/name] with your other two. I think if it was me I would keep up the Gr- connection. Though if you really love the idea of something new, then I think [name]Conan[/name] would be great alternative. It gives you the sound you seem to like and the N-ending. Good luck! =]
I think [name]Grant[/name] works well with [name]Griffin[/name] and [name]Grace[/name]. I also like [name]Graham[/name] and [name]Grover[/name] with [name]Griffin[/name] and [name]Grace[/name].
You may also want to consider names that begin with G but not the Gr.
[name]Griffin[/name], [name]Grace[/name], and [name]Glenn[/name]
[name]Griffin[/name], [name]Grace[/name], and [name]Gavin[/name]
[name]Griffin[/name], [name]Grace[/name], and [name]Garrett[/name]
[name]Griffin[/name], [name]Grace[/name], and [name]Guthrie[/name]
For names similar to [name]Cohen[/name], consider [name]Colton[/name], [name]Collin[/name], or [name]Coleman[/name] - all of which the nn [name]Coe[/name] would work.
Oooh, I love [name]Griffin[/name] and [name]Grace[/name] together!
[name]Grant[/name] fits well if you want to continue the G/Gr theme. With three Gr’s, though, it might be too much? Personally, I’d prefer a different beginning sound.
I think [name]Grant[/name], [name]Gavin[/name], or [name]Gideon[/name] could all work.
I think close to [name]Cohen[/name] in terms of rhythm (but nicer as a given name) something like [name]Callum[/name], [name]Corbin[/name], [name]Cillian[/name] or [name]Cian[/name]án?
If you like the name [name]Cohen[/name], use it. There is nothing “offensive” about people who use it. In Latin [name]America[/name] [name]Roman[/name] Catholicism is the predominant religion, and “[name]Jesus[/name]” is a common and honorable name. “[name]Mary[/name]” is another name frequently used by Catholics even though it is their belief that [name]Mary[/name] was “immaculately” chosen and distinguished by God in perfection.
[name]Cohen[/name] is no different than using “[name]Dick[/name]” as a nickname for [name]Richard[/name]. It’s only offensive to people who inflexibly assume that the world revolves around them and that a stranger’s name choice was intentionally chosen to offed them. I did not know that “[name]Cohen[/name]” could potentially be perceived as distasteful, and I always associated it with poet and musician [name]Leonard[/name] [name]Cohen[/name]. If I had chosen to use the name it would be in honor of a poet and have nothing to do with Judaism. The world is not black and white. And it does not revolve around you. Or Jewish people. Or “[name]Dick[/name]'s” who cannot conceptualize that a name or word can have different meanings used in different contexts.
