My sister is adopting a baby boy, God willing, in a short time. They are struggling with names… of course! Her last name is 4 syllable Portugese, and they are not against an ethnic 1st name. However they seem to be drawn to familiar but not overused names such as [name]Benjamin[/name] or [name]Harrison[/name] (the two front runners). I talked her out of the -den names & have been begging her to put it out to the berries for some advice & she has finally relented, thus allowing me to post this request. Some thoughts… both grandfathers have “B” first names, so I thought a “B” name would be nice…they like names with nicknames… Please advise!
Maybe [name]Bennett[/name], [name]Beckett[/name], [name]Bastian[/name]? Not good at thinking up names on the spot
I think [name]Bennett[/name] is a really good suggestion by pp for tying to [name]Benjamin[/name] ([name]Ben[/name]) and [name]Harrison[/name] (surname).
I also think the meaning “blessed” is really nice.
[name]Boone[/name] (“blessing”) could also be nice with their longer surname, nn [name]Bo[/name] could work.
Not too good with Portuguese, and Nameberry doesn’t seem to be either, but [name]Bruno[/name] or [name]Benicio[/name] seem like they might be accessible in in? [name]Bruno[/name] is nms, but gets a lot of love on here and could be worth considering.
Is using either of the grandfathers’ names (or both?) an option?
[name]Benjamin[/name] and [name]Harrison[/name] are both great! [name]Benjamin[/name] nn [name]Benji[/name], maybe?
