Is your surname a hard or soft G? I think [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] and [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] are “natural” brothers - for each other. 
[name_m]Archer[/name_m] would probably be the best “fit” for [name_u]Rowan[/name_u]'s brother but if you DH isn’t digging it, then give it a pass. I like the subtle tree connection between [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] and [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] so that would be my first pick. [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] and [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] end in “an” so that’s not ideal.
When I was pregnant with our third, I loved [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] and [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] but DH didn’t like either of those. With a month to go, I suggested [name_m]Archer[/name_m]. Husband agreed but was not sold 100% until we were in the delivery room. Our [name_m]Archer[/name_m] is two now, we call him [name_m]Archie[/name_m] as a nn, (we’ve had a ton of compliments on his name) and DH reluctantly agrees now that it was a great choice!
Good luck!
Our surname is a hard G beginning sounds like great. [name_m]Archer[/name_m] is my favorite. My husband likes [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] best, he is ok with [name_m]Archer[/name_m] but doesn’t love it. I think [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] is out.
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m] sounds best with [name_m]Douglass[/name_m]; in fact, it truly sounds great.
I went for [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]Douglass[/name_m], I think it has such a nice ring to it, and flows off your tongue! I agree with mischa that if your husband doesn’t love [name_m]Archer[/name_m], then maybe don’t go for it.
I love [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] and [name_m]Archer[/name_m] together! [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] is good too, but I think it’s a little more expected.
Well I had decided I was good with calling him [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] but now my husband is warming to [name_m]Archer[/name_m] and he can’t decide between the two! It looks like we may have to wait until we meet the little guy.
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] is one of my favourite names so I voted for that, but I don’t like it with [name_m]Douglass[/name_m]. Would you consider [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] or [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_m]Archer[/name_m]? You could even do [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]Douglass[/name_m] or [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_m]Archer[/name_m] [name_m]Douglass[/name_m] which I like better- separates the S sounds a bit.
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] is a favorite of mine as well but I don’t think we will be choosing it. My husband is not as fond of it as I am and he doesn’t like any of the nicknames I’ve suggested for it. The middle name will definitely be [name_m]Douglass[/name_m] to honor my father in law. Our first son has my father’s name as the middle so we are keeping with that tradition. Thanks for the suggestions!
I voted for [name_m]Oliver[/name_m], but if [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]'s back on the table I like that one too.
I voted for [name_m]Archer[/name_m], but I equally love [name_m]Oliver[/name_m]! You can’t go wrong with those two options!
I voted for [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] before reading the explanation because it’s one of my favorites and we can’t use it with our ln. BUT after reading everything, my vote would be for [name_m]Oliver[/name_m]. [name_m]Archer[/name_m] and [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] together just scream trendy to me, although I do adore [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] on a little boy. But because it’s a newly popular name, I think [name_m]Archer[/name_m] would make it sound trendier than it actually is … if that makes sense. For that reason (and because they sound great together and it’s a great name in general) I vote for [name_m]Oliver[/name_m]. [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] and [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] … perfect, handsome, awesome.
Oof. 3 of my favorite boy names! [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] doesn’t sound as good with [name_m]Douglass[/name_m] as the other two. [name_m]Archer[/name_m] [name_m]Douglass[/name_m] and [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]Douglass[/name_m] are both fab! As much as I love [name_m]Oliver[/name_m], my vote goes to [name_m]Archer[/name_m].
