A brother for Arlo

Boy Names
1

We are expecting our second baby in a few months (another boy!), and are a little stumped when it comes to names. Our son’s name is [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] - I love it more than any other name I’ve come across, and now we have to find another, yikes! I love that [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] is unique yet easy, simple to spell, and has an old-fashioned flare about it.

The one name that we both like so far is [name_u]Win[/name_u] (full name [name_m]Edwin[/name_m]), or just [name_u]Wynn[/name_u] on its own. Other names that we like but have decided against are:

[name_m]Oscar[/name_m]
[name_m]Otis[/name_m]
[name_u]Gus[/name_u]
[name_u]Holland[/name_u] (prefer for a girl)
[name_m]Felix[/name_m]

Would love input on other unique names similar to [name_u]Arlo[/name_u], as well as thoughts on the name [name_u]Win[/name_u] ([name_m]Edwin[/name_m]) and [name_u]Wynn[/name_u].

Thanks so much!

I love [name_u]Arlo[/name_u]! I’m not really a fan of [name_u]Win[/name_u]/[name_u]Wynn[/name_u] as the only ones I know are women and I think it is likely short for [name_f]Winnifred[/name_f]. Other suggestions …

[name_u]Arlo[/name_u] and [name_u]Remy[/name_u]

I love [name_u]Arlo[/name_u]! [name_m]Edwin[/name_m] feels very different in style though. I’m personally not a fan of [name_u]Wynn[/name_u] but I think [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] and [name_u]Wynn[/name_u] work as a sibset.
I was going to suggest [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] and [name_m]Felix[/name_m]! What about:
[name_u]Asa[/name_u]
[name_u]Hollis[/name_u]
[name_m]Miles[/name_m]/[name_m]Myles[/name_m]
[name_u]Robin[/name_u]

[name_u]Tobin[/name_u]
[name_u]Kit[/name_u]
[name_m]Asher[/name_m]
[name_u]Reed[/name_u]/[name_u]Reid[/name_u]
[name_m]Elian[/name_m]
[name_m]Stefan[/name_m]
