Baby brother for Alexandra

Boy Names
1

Hello,

Time is ticking and my husband and I are no closer to settling on a name for our son, who will be a baby brother to ‘[name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] [name_f]Isla[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]’. Would love your suggestions!

Some names we’ve been considering so far are these:

  • [name_m]Ethan[/name_m] (really like this but don’t like how popular it is)
  • [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] (same as above)
  • [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] (my husband loves this name, though I’m a little indifferent)
  • [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] (though not as appealing for us as it once was)
  • [name_u]Aidan[/name_u]
  • [name_m]Jake[/name_m]

Thanks!

[name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] [name_f]Isla[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] is beautiful!

Some ideas:

[name_u]Elliot[/name_u] or [name_m]Eli[/name_m]
[name_u]Everett[/name_u]
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]
[name_m]Felix[/name_m]
[name_m]Milo[/name_m]
[name_m]Declan[/name_m]
[name_m]Callum[/name_m]

[name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] is a beautiful, strong, classic! [name_m]Ethan[/name_m] and [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] are my favs on your list. I don’t know if they are as strong as [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f]. Suggestion:

[name_m]William[/name_m]
[name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]
[name_m]Andrew[/name_m]
[name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m]
[name_u]Everett[/name_u]
[name_u]James[/name_u]

I like all the names on the list… yes, they’re all fairly popular, though.

Maybe some alternatives:
[name_m]John[/name_m]
[name_u]Tobin[/name_u]
[name_u]Emmett[/name_u]
[name_u]Emory[/name_u]
[name_m]Eric[/name_m]

[name_m]Gregory[/name_m]
[name_u]Cameron[/name_u]
[name_u]Avery[/name_u]
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m]

Ethan - solid name, keep considering
Oliver - ditto, keep considering
Lucas - ditto, keep considering
Oscar - I say drop it if it’s not as appealing as it used to be. It’s also not as well matched to [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] as some of your others.
Aidan - If [name_m]Ethan[/name_m] is too popular for you, this will be far worse, between the name itself, and [name_u]Jayden[/name_u], [name_u]Hayden[/name_u], [name_m]Braden[/name_m], etc. Also not ideal to start with the same letter, at least in the opinion of many.
Jake - I’d go for the whole [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] nn [name_m]Jake[/name_m] if you do this. Both are also more popular than [name_m]Ethan[/name_m] I believe and both sound a little light next to [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f].

I find myself drawn to suggesting weighty Greek origin names, like [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f]. Some of these are.

[name_m]Christian[/name_m]
[name_m]Christopher[/name_m]
[name_m]George[/name_m]
[name_m]Gregory[/name_m]
[name_m]Nicholas[/name_m]
[name_m]Philip[/name_m]
[name_m]Peter[/name_m]
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m]
[name_m]Timothy[/name_m]

My vote goes to

[name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] and [name_m]Oliver[/name_m]

[name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Frederick[/name_m]
[name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]
[name_m]Nicholas[/name_m]
[name_m]Benjamin[/name_m]
[name_m]Philemon[/name_m]
[name_m]Matthias[/name_m]
[name_m]Tobias[/name_m]
[name_m]Zachary[/name_m]
[name_m]Vincent[/name_m]
[name_m]Dominic[/name_m]
[name_m]Julian[/name_m]
[name_m]Gregory[/name_m]
[name_m]Gideon[/name_m]
[name_m]Solomon[/name_m]
[name_u]Lionel[/name_u]
[name_m]Abraham[/name_m]

I like both [name_m]Ethan[/name_m] and [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] the best of the names you’re considering, but I do see what you mean about them being popular. They both sound great with [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] Based on the names you listed, maybe you’ll like…

[name_m]Ian[/name_m]
[name_m]Ronan[/name_m]
[name_m]Nathan[/name_m] (nn [name_m]Nate[/name_m])
[name_m]Christian[/name_m]
[name_u]Niall[/name_u]
[name_m]Caleb[/name_m]

Of your listed names I like [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] best. I also really like the suggestion of [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] that I saw a couple times. Good luck!
