A name for Holly's baby brother

mrs_pie · February 18, 2018, 12:43pm

Our daughter is [name_f]Holly[/name_f] and we are expecting a baby boy in a couple of months. We’re finding it so hard to agree on a boy’s name. It was much easier choosing a girl name first time round!

We like traditional names in general, good masculine sounding names.

We sort of both like / could live with [name_m]Henry[/name_m] but I’m concerned that [name_f]Holly[/name_f] and [name_m]Henry[/name_m] sounds a bit too matchy?? Any opinions on this? Or other suggestions most welcome

Thanks.

Yes I think [name_f]Holly[/name_f] and [name_m]Henry[/name_m] are too similar for siblings. Same initial, same ending, both 5 letters…
Perhaps [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] or [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] instead?

[name_f]Holly[/name_f] and [name_m]Henry[/name_m] are noticeably similar… not a deal-breaker, I’d say, but definitely worth looking at other options.

Some ideas for solid, masculine, not too “out there” names to go with [name_f]Holly[/name_f]:

[name_m]Samuel[/name_m]
[name_m]Maxwell[/name_m]
[name_m]Reuben[/name_m]
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_m]Thomas[/name_m]
[name_m]William[/name_m]
[name_u]Stanley[/name_u]
[name_m]George[/name_m]
[name_m]Rupert[/name_m]
[name_m]Alban[/name_m]
[name_m]Frederick[/name_m]
[name_m]Vincent[/name_m]
[name_m]Benjamin[/name_m]
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m]
[name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Lucian[/name_m]
[name_u]Flynn[/name_u]
[name_m]Julian[/name_m]
[name_m]Adam[/name_m]
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m]
[name_m]Joseph[/name_m]
[name_m]Marcus[/name_m]
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m]
[name_m]Finnick[/name_m]
[name_u]Lawrence[/name_u]
[name_m]Isaac[/name_m]
[name_m]Louis[/name_m]
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m]
[name_u]Jude[/name_u]

I think [name_u]Juniper[/name_u], or any plant or nature inspired name, would be cute with [name_f]Holly[/name_f].
