My wife and I are expecting our first child come [name_f]July[/name_f] and have finally narrowed our list down to 5 full names and before we go to it with our family would like Nameberry Nation’s input
[name_u]Mason[/name_u] [name_m]Hendrix[/name_m]
[name_m]Joseph[/name_m] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m]
[name_m]Lewis[/name_m] [name_m]Quade[/name_m]
[name_m]Archer[/name_m] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m]
[name_u]Hudson[/name_u] [name_u]Rhys[/name_u]
If you think any combination would work better than another, or you like one middle better as a first name or whatever, just comment… We appreciate everyone’s input. Thank you so much and congrats to all parents and to-be-parents
Congratulations on the pregnancy !
I really like your list ! [name_u]Mason[/name_u] [name_m]Hendrix[/name_m] is the combo I personally like the least (it’s a little too on trend for me), but I really love [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] and [name_m]Archer[/name_m] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] : super elegant, classic and not boring, you can’t go wrong with these !
1 [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] - this combo is lovely and sounds like an author name which is a good thing in my book!
2 [name_m]Lewis[/name_m] [name_m]Quade[/name_m] - although I do prefer the [name_m]French[/name_m] spelling and pronuncation [name_m]Louis[/name_m] (loo-ee)
3 [name_u]Hudson[/name_u] [name_u]Rhys[/name_u] - these two sound and look good together
I think you’ve got some lovely choices, my favourites are
[name_m]Joseph[/name_m] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m]- this sounds very naturey and literary, I like that the more windswept middle livens up the more traditional first
[name_m]Lewis[/name_m] [name_m]Quade[/name_m]- my favourite, I love that the first is a classic with history but is really underused. The middle is gorgeous and flows and looks really good, and makes it more exciting
[name_u]Hudson[/name_u] [name_u]Rhys[/name_u]- this flows really well and I like that you have kept the original spelling of [name_u]Rhys[/name_u], this looks and sounds great
I think they all have a sort of handsome preppy feel
One observation: whereas most of them have a more daring/trendy name paired with a more classic one [name_u]Mason[/name_u] [name_m]Hendrix[/name_m] to me is a pairing of two quite trendy names, which is not necessarily a bad thing and the sound and look of the combo is still good
I don’t know where it would fit in, but for some reason the name [name_m]Rafferty[/name_m] popped into my head when I read these names- just thought I’d share on the off chance you liked it
Overall my favourite choice is [name_m]Lewis[/name_m] [name_m]Quade[/name_m]- I like it so much [name_m]Quade[/name_m] is now on my own middle name list!
I really like [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m]. It reminds me of [name_f]Laura[/name_f] Ingalls [name_m]Wilder[/name_m], author of the [name_m]Little[/name_m] House books. My second favorite is [name_u]Hudson[/name_u] [name_u]Rhys[/name_u]. Congratulations!
Thanks everyone for the insight so far, it is very helpful to get the opinion of others especially with reasons to why they like a name over another because some things a person just doesn’t think about in the process of coming up with a name
Keep the favorites and reasons coming. Also, With the name you pick if you were going to call him just one name instead of his whole name which name would you pick?
For Example if we call him [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] we are debating on whether to go with the whole name or to just call him [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] or even [name_m]Joe[/name_m] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m]. Same with all other names we have narrowed list down to. Once again thanks so much!
First, congrats! I hope everything goes perfectly for you and your family. I think [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] and [name_m]Lewis[/name_m] [name_m]Quade[/name_m] definitely popped off your list. [name_m]Lewis[/name_m] makes me think of C.S. [name_m]Lewis[/name_m], a wonderful author, and I like [name_m]Quade[/name_m] with it. [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] is a gorgeous name, and this is coming from someone who doesn’t seek out such traditional names like [name_m]Joseph[/name_m]. As for your second post, I’m afraid I didn’t quite follow. Are you looking for a nickname?
I see what you mean, I get that although it’s great to have an awesome first/middle combination, more importantly you want to have the best individual name that you’re going to call him everyday
My favourite names individually are probably [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] (if you choose for him to go by his middle) or [name_m]Lewis[/name_m]
So actually my favourite combos are also my favourite individual names
I vote for [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m]! [name_m]Archer[/name_m] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] is nice but I find it slightly hard to say because of the strong “ch” and “j” sounds being so close together. [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] [name_m]Archer[/name_m] sounds better to me. [name_m]Lewis[/name_m] [name_m]Quade[/name_m] is a good choice too.
I think they all sound good together! Almost all of these names are on my list haha Personally my favorite is [name_u]Mason[/name_u] [name_m]Hendrix[/name_m]. I also like [name_u]Hudson[/name_u] [name_u]Rhys[/name_u].
[name_m]Archer[/name_m] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] is nice but I find it slightly hard to say because of the strong “ch” and “j” sounds being so close together. [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] [name_m]Archer[/name_m] sounds better to me. [name_m]Lewis[/name_m] [name_m]Quade[/name_m] is a good choice too.
