My husband and I are moving toward the idea of having another baby (I might be pregnant already but that would have been an unexpected whoops…I havent been feeling well the last few days, tired, craving sweets which is unusual for me, sensitive to smells all over the house, etc so Im unsure) We have been talking baby named for the last few weeks because I love names and its fun and also its a nice time killer when we are driving in the car or waiting at a restaurant. We have our girl name all picked out already since our son was a surprise baby and so we had a name for each sex chosen already and we are planning on keeping the girl name
We are having a hard time agreeing on boy names as well as the fact that I think we both feel that we topped out with our son’s name and find it hard to find something we would love as much.
So our two year old son is named [name]Drake[/name] [name]Jonathan[/name]. [name]Jonathan[/name] is a family name of my husband’s…an uncle that passed away right befor [name]Drake[/name]'s birth. As it is my husband is [name]Paul[/name] [name]Jonathan[/name] named after the same uncle. Im [name]Jasmine[/name] by the way 
So my husband doesnt like er ending names as our last name ends with er. He also doesnt like H names as our last name starts with H and he doesnt care for the alliteration.
I myself would love to find a literary connection if possible for the names as I love to read. [name]Drake[/name] is kind of literary to me as a [name]Drake[/name] is another name for dragon and dragons come from myths and stories…so I know its a loose connection but it works. I also like dragons if you might have guessed from my username so this is also another reason why I adore [name]Drake[/name] as a name.
Most likely the middle name of another son would be [name]Asher[/name] or [name]William[/name] as they are both family names of my husbands.
So the name my husband loves is [name]Rex[/name]. I go back and forth on this name as I feel like it sounds like a dog and I worry my son might get teased for it. I do agree with my husband in that it does seem like a nice match for [name]Drake[/name].
My pick was [name]Cody[/name] or [name]Brooks[/name] both of which my husband feels are feminine. [name]Brooks[/name] not so much the actual name but the ease of which it could be mistaken for [name]Brooke[/name].
[name]Griffin[/name] is a name we both adore and agree would be a perfect match for [name]Drake[/name]…but sadly we gave that name away 8 years ago to our cat and even if we were to change it everyone we know would know we named the baby after a cat. [name]Ive[/name] kicked myself around a lot for this but eight years ago I didnt think about having a second son when I named this cat. Our other cats are [name]Dexter[/name] and [name]Hunter[/name] but both end in er and my husband has always said no to er names so that was easy
Some other names we have toyed with and are in our maybe pile are [name]Pierce[/name], [name]Jude[/name], and [name]Lance[/name], and [name]Troy[/name]. [name]Lance[/name] and [name]Troy[/name] both fit my love of literary names but sadly Im not in love with either enough despite that to really push for them. [name]Lance[/name], despite its origin and the fact that it is an actual name for a weapon, doesnt come off as masculine as Id like. Im not sure if its becuase the only Lances I can think of are lance Bass of Nsync and [name]Lance[/name] [name]Armstrong[/name] neither of which are the epitome of masculinity in my eyes. [name]Troy[/name] is ok but I just dont love it and my husband doesnt care for it because he thinks of [name]Troy[/name] McClure from the [name]Simpson[/name].
So any suggestions for us? My husband tends to veto a lot so be warned
And our girl name is [name]Juliet[/name] [name]Rosalie[/name]…not much more literary then that
