Outlier baby names with a modern nickname are my and my husband’s style. Our kids use their nicknames 50% of the time; we like to use their full names too. A bit bohemian, a bit British in sound. Meaning is significant; if I dislike a name, some time and a really great meaning or personal significance can usually win me over. Our children are
[name_m]William[/name_m] [name_u]Ray[/name_u] nn [name_m]Will[/name_m]
(family/honor names. Meaning: protector)
[name_f]Verity[/name_f] [name_f]Sakura[/name_f] nn [name_f]Vera[/name_f]
(Meanings: truth, faith)
[name_m]Alastair[/name_m] [name_m]Ingram[/name_m] nn [name_m]Ace[/name_m]
(Meanings: defender, unity)
[name_m]Jethro[/name_m] [name_m]Valor[/name_m] nn [name_m]Jett[/name_m]
(Meaning: excellence, valiant)
We are expecting twins and recently found out they are two more boys. I had girl names ready, but I’m struggling to like more boy names and would appreciate [name_u]Berry[/name_u] feedback.
Right now the strongest contenders on our list are [name_m]Tancred[/name_m] [name_u]Howard[/name_u], nn [name_m]Creed[/name_m] and [name_m]Pierson[/name_m] [name_m]Gilbert[/name_m], nn [name_m]Piers[/name_m]. I like the sound of [name_m]Creed[/name_m] and [name_m]Piers[/name_m] together and the names are loaded with meaning for us. [name_m]Tancred[/name_m] is my husband’s favorite name ever and I’ve said no, too weird for the last couple years, but it’s grown on me, and since the meaning of [name_m]Creed[/name_m] is so similar to the meaning of [name_m]Gilbert[/name_m] (total [name_f]Anne[/name_f] of [name_u]Green[/name_u] Gables crush for me) we’re leaning towards using those two names. Gilbert in middle spot only. [name_m]Pierson[/name_m] is the weakest link and I’d like some other options.
And so. With a brothers sibset of [name_m]William[/name_m]/[name_m]Will[/name_m], [name_m]Alastair[/name_m]/[name_m]Ace[/name_m], and [name_m]Jethro[/name_m]/[name_m]Jett[/name_m], what would sound good paired with [name_m]Tancred[/name_m]/[name_m]Creed[/name_m]. We’ve considered [name_m]Finnian[/name_m]/[name_u]Finn[/name_u]. I’m trying to like [name_m]Rafferty[/name_m]/[name_u]Rafe[/name_u].
Thanks for any thoughts!
