We have a little boy already called [name_m]Finley[/name_m] [name_m]James[/name_m]. We like the following names, and his middle name will be [name_m]Mark[/name_m]. Please give your thoughts and opinions on your favourites/ least favourites.
[name_f]My[/name_f] favorite with [name_m]Finley[/name_m] is [name_m]Percy[/name_m] [name_m]Mark[/name_m]. I like [name_m]Barnaby[/name_m], but don’t love the BM initials. [name_m]Fraser[/name_m] and [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] are my next favorites. [name_m]August[/name_m] and [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] are great names, but feel like style departures from [name_m]Finley[/name_m].
With [name_m]Finley[/name_m] [name_m]James[/name_m], my favorites from your list are [name_m]August[/name_m] & [name_m]Percy[/name_m]!
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_m]August[/name_m] [name_m]Mark[/name_m] matches the friendly, soft vibe of [name_m]Finley[/name_m], and comes with the adorable nicknames of [name_m]Auggie[/name_m] & [name_m]Gus[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_m]Percy[/name_m] [name_m]Mark[/name_m] is a little more vintage & refined, but has the same playful tone that would be lovely & fresh paired with [name_m]Finley[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]
[name_m]Finley[/name_m] [name_m]James[/name_m] is so lovely! [name_f][/name_f] You have a lot of lovely options for this babe as well. [name_f][/name_f] I think [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] is my favorite, but I really like [name_m]August[/name_m] and [name_m]Percy[/name_m] with [name_m]Finley[/name_m] as well!
[name_m]August[/name_m] ~ I think [name_m]August[/name_m] is really handsome, outdoorsy and sounds very cottagecore with FJ. I think [name_m]August[/name_m] + FJ would make a really stylish sibling set.
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_m]Barnaby[/name_m] ~ I do like [name_m]Barnaby[/name_m] he feels very upper crust [name_f]British[/name_f] private school boy I like the whole preppy feel. However I think F feels softer and more relaxed in comparison to [name_m]Barnaby[/name_m]. I also feel you could be pigeonholed if you were to have future children with them having that ‘y’ ending.
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m] ~ I absolutely love this name he’s so handsome, soft and charming a lovely distinguished choice that feels gorgeous paired with F. A very charming brother set.
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_m]Fraser[/name_m] ~ so I can see the appeal of [name_m]Fraser[/name_m] he’s outdoorsy with a gentlemanly cowboy flair however personally this isn’t my favourite I’m not keen on the sound of [name_m]Fraser[/name_m]. Also on another point I’m not keen on repeated initial sibling sets again I think you can feel pigeonholed into a theme.
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_m]Percy[/name_m] ~ a sweet cosy choice that feels autumnal I can envision a [name_m]Percy[/name_m] wearing a cosy knit jumper with yellow wellies. I think [name_m]Percy[/name_m] does feel more folkish in comparison too F.
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_m]Rupert[/name_m] ~ I think [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] is very endearing name that feels very upper crust [name_f]British[/name_f] and stylish especially with the nickname [name_f]Rue[/name_f]. [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] and F feel outdoorsy with cottagecore imagery attached feels very [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_m]Potter[/name_m] vibe.
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]My[/name_f] favourites are [name_m]August[/name_m], [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] + [name_m]Rupert[/name_m]
I love [name_m]Finley[/name_m] [name_m]James[/name_m]!

Here are my favorite to least favorite rankings for a little brother:
[name_f][/name_f]
August-Such a beautiful name. It’s equal parts strong & outdoorsy with just the right amount of gentleness. It has sweet built in intuitive nick-names of [name_m]Augie[/name_m] & [name_m]Gus[/name_m]. I’m not sure they’re both totally avoidable or not, so hopefully you like them?
[name_f][/name_f]
Barnaby-This is adorable. Definitely a name that I wouldn’t be brave enough to use, but I think it’s so fun and lovable. I like [name_m]Barnes[/name_m] & [name_m]Barney[/name_m] as nns, too. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you?
[name_f][/name_f]
Hugo-This is nice. I see it a lot on these boards, but not really in real life. It’s quirky and charming and nice enough with [name_m]Finley[/name_m]. I like the nn [name_m]Hughie[/name_m], but I don’t think you have to use it.
[name_f][/name_f]
Percy-I like it, but feel like it’s better as a nn for [name_m]Percival[/name_m]. [name_m]Just[/name_m] feels more complete.
[name_f][/name_f]
Rupert-I like the sound of it, but maybe just have a hard time picturing it on a person since I’ve never met one. Feels almost too posh.
[name_f][/name_f]
Fraser-Never been a fan of the sound of this. It’s very strongly associated with the TV show for me, but maybe I’m just old!
Wow, this is hard. I love all of the names in your list and think anyone of them would go great with [name_m]Finley[/name_m]. I am really like [name_m]Fraser[/name_m], [name_m]Percy[/name_m] and [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] as they are more unusual to me but I am also loving [name_m]Barnaby[/name_m], [name_m]August[/name_m] and [name_m]Hugo[/name_m]. I am probably not much help. I guess if you went with [name_m]Fraser[/name_m], you may feel locked in to use other F names if you have other children.
I literally have this same combo (Finley James) on my list if I were to have a 4th boy. I currently have L!am and R@fferty. I would highly recommend [name_m]Rafferty[/name_m]. I adore his name. [name_m]Fraser[/name_m], [name_m]Hugo[/name_m], [name_m]Percy[/name_m] and [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] are all names I’ve bounced around for a third. If I were to have another boy I’m pretty set on [name_m]Archie[/name_m]. You didn’t really ask for other suggestions, but there you have it. Of the names you have listed I would be most likely to use [name_m]Fraser[/name_m], but it also depends how you feel about another F name.
All of your names are so handsome! I think for a brother to [name_m]Finley[/name_m], my pick would be [name_m]August[/name_m], with [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] being second. I think [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] matches very well too! I wouldn’t go for [name_m]Barnaby[/name_m] or [name_m]Percy[/name_m], just because I’m not a fan of the rhyming, and I’d probably stay away from [name_m]Fraser[/name_m] because of the repeating initials. You really can’t go wrong, though
