I don’t like [name]Robert[/name] and I don’t like [name]Samuel[/name]. I absolutely love [name]Elijah[/name] and [name]Benjamin[/name] though. I also really like [name]Theodore[/name].
[name]Benjamin[/name] is my favorite of the options. [name]Ben[/name] is always a nice guy - everyone loves [name]Ben[/name]!
[name]Samuel[/name] is my next favorite, then [name]Theodore[/name], then [name]Elijah[/name]. While I think the meanings are nice, they are less important to me than the sound of the name, but I know not everyone shares that opinion. I will add, though, that having the “miracle baby” after 2.5 years of TTC is nice for you, it may be a bit odd for a child to know that his name is a reference to that. I say that a someone who also had difficulty TTC, for what it’s worth.
Congratulations on your soon-to-be born baby boy! I personally think all of the names you have chosen are great, but my favorites are definitely [name]Robert[/name] [name]Benjamin[/name] and [name]Robert[/name] [name]Samuel[/name].
I really like [name]Robert[/name] [name]Samuel[/name]! The flow is great and I love the meaning to you.
[name]Love[/name] [name]Robert[/name] [name]Samuel[/name]!
I’m in the other camp: I think meaning and/or family significance trumps aesthetics any day. [name]Samuel[/name] and [name]Theodore[/name] seem like extremely well-thought-out choices for you. Personally, I think [name]Robert[/name] [name]Theodore[/name] is a little crisper and stuffier (in a good way) than [name]Samuel[/name], as [name]Samuel[/name] still has that homespun frontiersman vibe.
What is your last name like?
[name]Robert[/name] [name]Samual[/name] flows together very nicely!
I choose [name]Robert[/name] [name]Samuel[/name] because it sounds nice and it has meaning. A name that has meaning is so much more special to me than just sounding nice. When your son gets older he will be able to appriciate that story behind his name rather than just knowing that you liked the sound of it.
Congratulations! I honestly like them all (although I’m not a big [name]Theo[/name] fan), but [name]Robert[/name] [name]Elijah[/name] gets my vote. It flows wonderfully, and I don’t think there could ever be too many Elijahs! It’s such a handsome name and the Biblical [name]Elijah[/name] is a great hero to look up to.
