Somewhat stumped on boy’s names, as we’re trying to avoid duplicating family names and it’s big families on both sides and for several generations. Prefer more traditional names, don’t care if they’re popular but want to avoid trendy (e.g., [name_u]Aidan[/name_u]/Braidon/[name_m]Jaydan[/name_m], etc.; [name_m]Asher[/name_m]; [name_u]Emmet[/name_u]; Anikin) and don’t like first names that are last names (e.g., [name_u]Mason[/name_u], [name_u]Cameron[/name_u], [name_u]Carter[/name_u], [name_m]Jackson[/name_m]). Kinds of names we like, which seem to be mainly biblical even though we are not particularly religious: [name_m]Zachary[/name_m], [name_m]Luke[/name_m]/[name_m]Lucas[/name_m], [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] (but that’s just too popular), [name_m]Paul[/name_m], [name_m]Mark[/name_m], [name_m]Jonathan[/name_m], [name_m]Jeremy[/name_m], [name_m]Caleb[/name_m], [name_m]Eli[/name_m], [name_m]Peter[/name_m], [name_m]Andrew[/name_m], [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m], [name_m]Samuel[/name_m], [name_m]Henry[/name_m], [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m], [name_m]Nathan[/name_m]/[name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m], [name_m]Alexander[/name_m], [name_m]Frederick[/name_m].
Guess I’m just thinking out loud here. Nothing seems to jump out yet. [name_f]May[/name_f] have to wait until little tyke is born!
I love [name_m]Lucas[/name_m]. It sounds sweet with [name_f]Norah[/name_f] too. ([name_f]Norah[/name_f] and [name_m]Lucas[/name_m]- sounds like a kids book!)
It’s relatively traditional but not old and crusty. I love it!
I asked the same question a few days ago! I have a [name_f]Nora[/name_f] also.
Out of your list, I like [name_m]Lucas[/name_m]/[name_m]Luke[/name_m] ([name_u]Luca[/name_u]?), [name_m]Eli[/name_m], [name_m]Andrew[/name_m] ([name_u]Drew[/name_u]), [name_m]Samuel[/name_m], [name_m]Henry[/name_m], [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m], and [name_m]Alexander[/name_m].
Our oldest is [name_f]Norah[/name_f] - her two younger brothers are [name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_m]Oliver[/name_m], not sure if that helps or not, but we like the names together! We are also expecting boy #3 next week, but no final decision on his name yet.
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] has always been high on our list, but we just know too many of them. I do think it sounds great with [name_f]Norah[/name_f], and so does [name_m]Luke[/name_m]/[name_m]Lucas[/name_m] and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m].
I think [name_f]Norah[/name_f] can go with so many names. One other off the top of my head that hasn’t been mentioned is [name_m]Christian[/name_m].
From your list I really like how [name_f]Norah[/name_f] sounds with [name_m]Zachary[/name_m] ([name_m]Zach[/name_m]), [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] ([name_m]Luke[/name_m]), [name_m]Paul[/name_m], [name_m]Caleb[/name_m] ([name_u]Cal[/name_u]) & [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] ([name_u]Nat[/name_u]/[name_m]Nate[/name_m])
