After some consideration I think we have narrowed it down.... please help!

So this is my short list to go with brother [name]Leo[/name]. I will start thinking of some middle name combinations when I can narrow my names down to two or three. [name]Feel[/name] free to leave some suggestions for middle names though! [name]Alexander[/name] has already been used for my son [name]Leo[/name] so please do not suggest that one :slight_smile:

[name]Edward[/name]
[name]Caius[/name]
[name]Emmett[/name]
[name]Rhys[/name]
[name]Arthur[/name] (still thinking about this one. Worried it may be too nerdy with spunky [name]Leo[/name])
[name]Lucas[/name]

Aww [name]Oliver[/name] missed the cut? I love [name]Oliver[/name] with [name]Leo[/name]. I feel they have the same ‘spunkometer’ level. :slight_smile:

[name]Leo[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] and [name]Rhys[/name] [name]Oliver[/name] (took the mn from your signature)
[name]Leo[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] and [name]Oliver[/name] [name]Henry[/name] (sorry I raided your signature to make an all time fav combo of mine)
[name]Leo[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] and [name]Arthur[/name] [name]Henry[/name] -to spunk it up you need a great nn… maybe [name]Arty[/name]?
[name]Leo[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] and [name]Arthur[/name] [name]Rhys[/name]
[name]Leo[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] and [name]Everett[/name] [name]Rhys[/name] (prefer [name]Everett[/name] to [name]Emmett[/name]- too Twilight for me sorry)

A new idea which could work well- [name]Evan[/name] -similar vibe to [name]Leo[/name], nice and short too.
[name]Leo[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] and [name]Evan[/name] [name]Rhys[/name]

[name]Lucas[/name]- bad experience with a student, don’t like anymore, like [name]Luca[/name] though
[name]Leo[/name] and [name]Luca[/name] would be awesome
[name]Edward[/name]- again too Twilight for me personally
[name]Caius[/name]- NMS, never heard of it

Good luck
[name]Emilia[/name]

[name]Rhys[/name]! [name]Leo[/name] & [name]Rhys[/name] are the perfect brother pair. i like [name]Rhys[/name] [name]Edward[/name] or [name]Rhys[/name] [name]Arthur[/name].

I really like [name]Rhys[/name] with [name]Leo[/name] [name]Alexander[/name]. :slight_smile: I like the pp’s suggestion of [name]Rhys[/name] [name]Oliver[/name]–my first idea was [name]Rhys[/name] [name]Arthur[/name] (although [name]Arthur[/name] seems to nerd it up a little, while [name]Leo[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] and [name]Rhys[/name] [name]Oliver[/name] seem more compatible stylistically). [name]Emmett[/name] would have been my first choice, but I really, really love [name]Emmeline[/name] from your girls’ list, and I don’t think you could really use [name]Leo[/name], [name]Emmeline[/name], and [name]Emmett[/name] together. :frowning: I think something like [name]Rhys[/name] [name]Emmett[/name] would be nice, though.

[name]Rhys[/name] [name]Benjamin[/name]
[name]Rhys[/name] [name]Elliot[/name]
[name]Rhys[/name] [name]Samuel[/name]
[name]Rhys[/name] [name]Theodore[/name]
[name]Rhys[/name] [name]Calvin[/name]
[name]Rhys[/name] [name]Jameson[/name]
[name]Rhys[/name] [name]Andrew[/name]
[name]Rhys[/name] [name]Patrick[/name]
[name]Rhys[/name] [name]Nicholas[/name]
[name]Rhys[/name] [name]Asher[/name]
[name]Rhys[/name] [name]Gabriel[/name]

Good luck!

I really like [name]Edward[/name] and [name]Leo[/name] together - [name]Edward[/name] and [name]Leo[/name] sounds classic, or [name]Eddie[/name] and [name]Leo[/name] sound like best buds.

I know that there is the unfortunate Twilight reference, but in a few years that will all be over. [name]Edward[/name] is such a great name, it’d be a shame if people stopped using it altogether because of the movie.

Some middle name suggestions:
[name]Edward[/name] [name]Arturo[/name]
[name]Edward[/name] [name]Xavier[/name]
[name]Edward[/name] [name]Caspian[/name]
[name]Edward[/name] [name]Jonathan[/name]
[name]Edward[/name] [name]Tomothy[/name]
[name]Edward[/name] [name]Sebastian[/name] (I adore this one!)
[name]Edward[/name] [name]George[/name]
[name]Edward[/name] [name]Nathaniel[/name]
[name]Edward[/name] [name]Franklin[/name]
[name]Edward[/name] [name]Julius[/name]
[name]Edward[/name] [name]Orlando[/name]

I also think some of the middle name suggestions ashthedreamer had with Ryhs would work well with [name]Edward[/name] too :smiley:

As you might tell from my signature, I have a soft spot for [name]Lucas[/name]… I think [name]Lucas[/name] and [name]Leo[/name] sounds awesome!

You have a very nice list going here! Here are my thoughts:
[name]Edward[/name] -I’ve only seen the first movie (and wasn’t impressed) but haven’t read the books at all, yet I still think of Twilight when I hear this name. A pp said that the Twilight references will pass, but in the meantime, you’ll be asked a million times if you’re a Twilight fan. [name]Leo[/name] & [name]Edward[/name] go very nicely together though!
[name]Caius[/name] -NB says this is a another Twilight reference and there might be some pronunciation issues. [name]How[/name] are you pronouncing it?
[name]Emmett[/name] -are all your names from Twilight? If you’re a huge Twilight fan, then go ahead and use [name]Edward[/name] :slight_smile: I prefer [name]Edward[/name] to [name]Emmett[/name]
[name]Rhys[/name] -very nice name & works nicely with [name]Leo[/name]
[name]Arthur[/name] -where do you get the nerdy vibes from this name? I still get knights of the round table. Plus nerds are cool now -they have their own sit-coms. :slight_smile: I really like the name [name]Arthur[/name] & think it goes nicely with [name]Leo[/name].
[name]Lucas[/name] -I like the name [name]Lucas[/name] a lot, but am not a fan of children’s names all starting with the same letter. Obviously, if you were to use [name]Leo[/name] & [name]Lucas[/name], and had another baby later, you wouldn’t be forced to use another “L” name, but it’s still too alliterative for my taste.

My two favourite from your list are [name]Edward[/name] & [name]Arthur[/name]. My favourite mns from the pp lists are:
[name]Leo[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] & [name]Edward[/name] [name]Jonathan[/name]
[name]Leo[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] & [name]Edward[/name] [name]Nathaniel[/name]
[name]Leo[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] & [name]Edward[/name] [name]Theodore[/name] ([name]Arthur[/name] [name]Theodore[/name] has too many “th” in it, but I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Theodore[/name]!)
[name]Leo[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] & [name]Edward[/name] [name]Rhys[/name]
[name]Leo[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] & [name]Arthur[/name] [name]Jonathan[/name]
[name]Leo[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] & [name]Arthur[/name] [name]Nathaniel[/name]
[name]Leo[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] & [name]Arthur[/name] [name]Rhys[/name]

Have fun with the final decisions!

They are all great names!! I get different feels with the different pairings - with [name]Leo[/name] and [name]Edward[/name] or [name]Arthur[/name] I think nice classic names (they make [name]Leo[/name] feel classier, even though it already is a classic) and with [name]Leo[/name] and [name]Rhys[/name] or [name]Lucas[/name] the names have a real spunky vibe. I actually like the two L’s with [name]Leo[/name] and [name]Lucas[/name] because they sound completely different.

If I had to choose, I would go with [name]Rhys[/name]…tough choice though.

[name]Leo[/name] & [name]Rhys[/name] are utterly perfect together, and [name]Rhys[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] is a gorgeous combo.

Second favourite would be [name]Leo[/name] & [name]Emmett[/name] [name]Alexander[/name].

I love [name]Leo[/name] & [name]Edward[/name], [name]Leo[/name] & [name]Rhys[/name], [name]Leo[/name] & [name]Arthur[/name], and [name]Leo[/name] & [name]Luca[/name] (I like [name]Luca[/name] better than [name]Lucas[/name])

Middle names:
[name]Edward[/name] [name]James[/name]
[name]Edward[/name] [name]Rhys[/name]
[name]Edward[/name] [name]Callum[/name]
[name]Edward[/name] [name]Thomas[/name]

[name]Luca[/name] [name]Gregory[/name]
[name]Luca[/name] [name]Caleb[/name]
[name]Luca[/name] [name]Sawyer[/name]

[name]Leo[/name] and [name]Rhys[/name] would be perfect together!

[name]Leo[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] and [name]Lucas[/name] [name]Arthur[/name]? Too matchy? I like it! :slight_smile:

[name]Edward[/name] - [name]Love[/name] it. It’s classic. You can’t go wrong!
[name]Caius[/name] - I really like this. It’s different but still sturdy.
[name]Emmett[/name] - I personally am not a big fan, but it would be a good choice nonetheless.
[name]Rhys[/name] - [name]Love[/name].
[name]Arthur[/name] - I think this is an awesome choice! It sounds great with [name]Leo[/name] in my opinion.
[name]Lucas[/name] - I’m slightly tired of it, but it’s not a bad choice.

Thank you for your replies! I love hearing your input and have given me a lot of great middle name ideas. I especially love [name]Rhys[/name] [name]Arthur[/name], [name]Rhys[/name] [name]Theodore[/name], and [name]Rhys[/name] [name]Edward[/name]! I think I am going to narrow it down to either [name]Rhys[/name], [name]Arthur[/name] or [name]Lucas[/name].

My husband is still pushing for [name]Augustus[/name] as well :wink: I’m still thinking about it. [name]Augustus[/name] [name]Theodore[/name] is divine though!

Oh and I absolutely [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Oliver[/name] or [name]Henry[/name] as middle names but my husband loathes both names. He has bad associations so those names are out, even for middles :frowning:

I also prefer [name]Luca[/name] to [name]Lucas[/name]. [name]Leo[/name] and [name]Luca[/name] is a darling combination. And from your name list, I like the flow of [name]Luca[/name] [name]Sebastian[/name] best.

[name]Edward[/name] - I like this one despite it’s over use in my family, though I do prefer [name]Edmund[/name].
[name]Caius[/name] - Nice, not my favorite.
[name]Emmett[/name] - I really love [name]Emmett[/name].
[name]Rhys[/name] - This is my favorite of your list for a match with [name]Leo[/name]. It’s another short and sweet but really classic and handsome.
[name]Arthur[/name] - I just don’t see the appeal of [name]Arthur[/name]. Maybe it’s because I still know some elderly people with that name so it just seems old to me.
[name]Lucas[/name] - [name]Love[/name] [name]Lucas[/name], love [name]Luke[/name]. This is my personal favorite on your list, but I just don’t feel it fits with [name]Leo[/name] like others do.

I agree with a lot of the pp. [name]Leo[/name] and [name]Rhys[/name] are absolutely perfect together and would definitely be my pick. Although… [name]Augustus[/name] has the nn potential for [name]Gus[/name], and [name]Leo[/name] & [name]Gus[/name] are quite the pair, as well :slight_smile:
