Thought we had narrowed it down to 2 boy names for baby due in July, but of course have recently started tossing around some names from our longer list.
Big sisters to be are Georgia and Eloise. Our top two were August and Wesley- and we still love both. But have recently been flirting with:
Oscar, nickname Ozzy
Archer
Jasper
Jude
Rhys
Thoughts? Our last name ends in -per so I think Jasper is realistically going to be out, even though I love it. My husband had initially nixed Oscar and Archer bc of the repeat -er ending sound, but has recently come around to on both, especially with nickname Ozzy for Oscar. I still adore August but not so crazy about the potential nickname Auggie, though it is growing on me somewhat…
I love [name_u]August[/name_u] and [name_u]Wesley[/name_u], both great choices! I agree, the [name_m]Auggie[/name_m] nn is also not my favorite so I understand your hesitation with that… [name_m]Wes[/name_m] is so cool. But both are great names.
[name_f]My[/name_f] favorite out of your secondary list is [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] nn [name_u]Ozzy[/name_u]. I know a 3 year old [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] nn [name_u]Ozzy[/name_u], only one I have met or heard of, and it is so cute on him! [name_u]Will[/name_u] also age well. I think the -er ending sound of [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] is not a deal breaker at all with last name ending in -per, but [name_u]Jasper[/name_u] would be a bit much. It just might be something that bothers you over time. Overall you have some great options here!
Im a bit biased because [name_u]Archer[/name_u] is my all time fav boy name, but I think it sounds good with [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] and [name_f]Eloise[/name_f]
Second option would be [name_m]Oscar[/name_m]! I also love [name_u]Wesley[/name_u]! Personally, I think all of these are cute, [name_u]Archer[/name_u] sounds best to me
With the girls’ names being so fresh-yet-classic, I think the best match for them is going to be [name_u]August[/name_u] or [name_u]Wesley[/name_u] honestly. Maybe [name_u]Rhys[/name_u]. [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] is still a bit dated/stuffy sounding IMO and [name_u]Archer[/name_u] is a tad too modern without the classic vibe.
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m] ‘Ozzy’ - love the warm but rugged feel of [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] and [name_u]Ozzy[/name_u] is so cool!
[name_u]Archer[/name_u] - pretty cool and outdoorsy
[name_u]Jasper[/name_u] - love the bright, stylish feel, but yeah, if your surname ends in -per if might be out (unless the first sound/s are really distinctive?)
[name_u]Jude[/name_u] - calm but cool - I like it
[name_u]Rhys[/name_u] - handsome and rugged with a pleasing sound - only doubt is [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] and [name_u]Rhys[/name_u] as being slightly rhymey - not a huge deal but something to consider?
