Baby Boy Name - Which Order is Better?

Boy Names
1

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] folks,

[name_m]New[/name_m] to the forums. My wife and I are expecting our second child and first boy literally…any second now. We have pretty much settled on the names [name_m]Knox[/name_m] and [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] as first and middle, but aren’t sure in which order we like them better.

Which do you like and why?

[name_m]Knox[/name_m] [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] [name_u]Parker[/name_u]

[name_u]Elliott[/name_u] [name_m]Knox[/name_m] [name_u]Parker[/name_u]

Thanks for any input and please be kind! We really agonized over names this time…boy names are tough!

I like [name_m]Knox[/name_m] [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] better for flow, but [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] [name_m]Knox[/name_m] visually. Either way, it’s an awesome name; super strong.

I like [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] [name_m]Knox[/name_m], mostly because I prefer [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] as a first. Both are great choices!

[name_u]Elliott[/name_u] as a first, for sure. It has opportunity for nicknames and growth as he gets older. While I love the name [name_m]Knox[/name_m], it could sound more “dated” over time and limit job opportunities in future. [name_m]Just[/name_m] being super practical with advice, not harsh! I absolutely love the name combo and wish my husband and I could agree on something already :slight_smile: Best of luck with delivery!!!

**Edited to correct the spelling from [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] out of habit :slight_smile:

[name_m]Knox[/name_m] as a first…

I prefer [name_m]Knox[/name_m] as a first name!

7

I much prefer [name_m]Knox[/name_m] as first name it’s edgy and cool.

8

I prefer [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] as a first. Not only do I like it more than [name_m]Knox[/name_m], but I think it has a slightly better flow.

I like [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] [name_m]Knox[/name_m]. I think [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] [name_u]Parker[/name_u] flows better than [name_m]Knox[/name_m] [name_u]Parker[/name_u], and he will mostly be known by only first and last name (but I do love [name_m]Knox[/name_m] as a middle).

[name_u]Elliott[/name_u] as a first. I agree, [name_m]Knox[/name_m] could limit job opportunities in the future and [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] [name_u]Parker[/name_u] has better flow.

Congrats and good luck!
