We are expecting our 2nd boy and have picked out a name that we both really love. BUT…there’s something about it that is really similar to our oldest boy’s name and we can’t decide if it should be a deal breaker or not…what do you think?
Our first is [name_u]Alden[/name_u]
Our second would be [name_m]Dalton[/name_m]
On paper, they look really different but when you say them out loud they have a similar feel on your tongue. We don’t want to ask family their opinions because we haven’t announced the gender to everyone yet and my family tends to be critical of names, anyway. My husband and I are both scientists so [name_m]Dalton[/name_m] is a meaningful connection in that way. It’s also an old English name and that is my family’s heritage. Plus, it sounds wonderful with our middle name choice (which is definitely staying).
Thanks for your help!
