[name]Hi[/name], it’s about time we got serious about names for our #2…something that works well with big brother [name]Julian[/name] [name]Jack[/name] and our Surname [name]Paul[/name]. We prefer two or more syllables due to our surname. We dont want people confusing our last name as a first name which happens frequently with my husband!
We are Australian and love to shorten or give each other nicnames. Our one pick at the moment is [name]Lincoln[/name], it’s sweet but doesn’t wow me like [name]Julian[/name]! Maybe because it has L and N as well. However their nicknames [name]Jules[/name] and [name]Linc[/name] are quite nice.
[name]Love[/name] your ideas and thoughts on the above
[name]Lincoln[/name] is charming with [name]Julian[/name].
Other ideas…
[name]Emerson[/name]
[name]Theodore[/name]
[name]Augustus[/name]
[name]Tobias[/name]
[name]Barnaby[/name]
[name]Alastair[/name]
[name]Orlando[/name]
[name]Sebastian[/name]
[name]Lincoln[/name]/[name]Linc[/name] is nice.
As a fellow Aussie get the nn issue - it’s almost more important than the name!
[name]How[/name] about [name]Lachlan[/name]/Lachie?
I really like [name]Simon[/name] with [name]Julian[/name], and I know a few who use the nickname [name]Si[/name]. What about [name]Louis[/name] or [name]Lewis[/name], with the nicknames [name]Lou[/name], [name]Lew[/name], [name]Louie[/name] or [name]Lewie[/name]? Or [name]Vincent[/name], nn [name]Vin[/name] or [name]Vince[/name]? I also like Peach’s suggestion of [name]Alastair[/name], and would love to see more Als around!
Great ideas thanks! Funnily enough my husband loves [name]Vincent[/name] (and I’m trying to like it!)…[name]Alastair[/name] has had a mention, along with [name]Orlando[/name].
We both love [name]Orlando[/name]…but hub feels that because of it’s celebrity link we can’t use it…I say why not!
[name]Jameson[/name] [name]Francis[/name]
[name]Lincoln[/name] is cute!
