Alaric - Visigoth King to Baby Boy?

Thoughts on [name_m]Alaric[/name_m] with our daughters and son? [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f], [name_f]Elowen[/name_f], [name_u]Barrett[/name_u], and [name_m]Alaric[/name_m]?

We’ve loved [name_m]Alaric[/name_m] for a long time, but I have two hang-ups: it doesn’t sound great with our surname (something we can both overlook) and we don’t love any obvious nn options (can probably get over that too, but I really love nn’s!) :slight_smile: For a middle name I am loving [name_m]Alaric[/name_m] [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] (after my hubby).

Any thoughts appreciated on how it sounds/fits with our sibset and any nn suggestions. Thanks!

Also, for reference we pronounce it [name_m]AL[/name_m]-uh-rick.

I think its a great name, and [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f], [name_f]Elowen[/name_f], [name_u]Barrett[/name_u] and [name_m]Alaric[/name_m] are perfect together imo.

As for nns how about: [name_m]Rick[/name_m], [name_m]Rico[/name_m], [name_m]Alan[/name_m], [name_m]Ace[/name_m], [name_u]Ari[/name_u]…

I really like [name_m]Alaric[/name_m]! It sounds like such a strong name and fits in well with your sibset. I like pp’s nn suggestions of [name_m]Ace[/name_m] and [name_u]Ari[/name_u].

I really like [name_m]Ace[/name_m], but we know one that we see often so we probably wouldn’t use it. [name_u]Ari[/name_u] is really nice too. I also thought of [name_u]Adi[/name_u], since his initials would be A.D. I know an [name_m]Adam[/name_m] that goes by [name_u]Adi[/name_u] and always thought it was sweet. [name_m]Alec[/name_m]/Alic is another one that came to mind. [name_m]Rico[/name_m] is fun too! Thanks for all the suggestions and thoughts so far!

I love [name_m]Alaric[/name_m] [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] and think it makes a great addition to the sibset.

Possible nns for [name_m]Alaric[/name_m]: [name_m]Lars[/name_m], [name_m]Larry[/name_m], [name_u]Ari[/name_u], A, [name_m]Ric[/name_m], [name_m]Aric[/name_m], A-[name_m]Ric[/name_m], Larc/[name_f]Lark[/name_f], [name_m]AL[/name_m], [name_u]Ali[/name_u], La-la, [name_f]Air[/name_f], [name_m]AD[/name_m], Alar, [name_f]Ree[/name_f], Rie/[name_m]Rye[/name_m].

I like [name_m]Alaric[/name_m] and I think it goes well with your other childrens’ names.

I’m never quite sure whether the emphasis is on the first or second syllable though.

I adore [name_m]Alaric[/name_m], it’s our no. 2. As others have said it matches your sib-set wonderfully

I agree that [name_m]Alaric[/name_m] is great and matches your kids’ names perfectly. I’d love to see someone use it!

I love the name [name_m]Alaric[/name_m]. [name_m]Alaric[/name_m] [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] sounds really good with the rest of the sibset.
Nicknames could be:

I love the name [name_m]Alaric[/name_m] - it is so handsome and strong. [name_m]Alaric[/name_m] [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] is a wonderful combination and it works so well with the rest of your kids! Go for it!
