Baby brother for Alexandra

Name Advice
1

Looking for suggestions for names for a brother to our daughter, [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] [name_u]Jo[/name_u]. We definitely prefer more classic names (hence [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f]!). Must be easily spelled and pronounced - no “unique twists”. Our last name is really plain. I like the sound of a name that starts with another vowel as I think it would match well with [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f], but that’s not a requirement. And I kind of think that it should be shorter (1-2 syllables) because [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] is long, but again, not a requirement. Some names that I like are:

[name_m]Patrick[/name_m]
[name_u]Rory[/name_u]
[name_m]Miles[/name_m]
[name_m]Luke[/name_m] (but we won’t go with this as we know another [name_m]Luke[/name_m] who’s too close)
[name_m]Conor[/name_m]
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] (again, listing to gives an example of what we like it but we won’t go with it)

Middle names (some have family significance):
[name_m]William[/name_m]
[name_m]John[/name_m]
[name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Peter[/name_m]

Thanks!

I like [name_m]Patrick[/name_m] from your list! And I understand you want a shorter name to match [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] but I tend to match long names with long names but here is my try:

[name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] & [name_m]Dominic[/name_m]
[name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] & [name_u]Elliott[/name_u]
[name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] & [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m]
[name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] & [name_m]Nathan[/name_m]
[name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] & [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m]
[name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] & [name_u]Spencer[/name_u]
[name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] & [name_m]Vincent[/name_m]
[name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] & [name_m]Ethan[/name_m]
[name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] & [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]
[name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] & [name_m]Frederick[/name_m]
[name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] & [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]

I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_u]Rory[/name_u] [name_m]William[/name_m]. My heart did a little leap when I read that.

I also love [name_u]James[/name_u] (and think it goes great with [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f]) and the only reason it’s in the middle name list is because one of my best friends has a [name_u]James[/name_u].

[name_u]Emmett[/name_u] is new to me and I really like it. I’ll have to let that one marinade for a while and see if I still like it in a month or 2 :).
