Baby Brother to join Big Brothers North and Everest

So right about now is when I really wish we had gone with a traditional or at least more common names for our sons! We named our almost 5 year old [name]North[/name] (PLEASE don’t mention [name]Kim[/name] and [name]Kanye[/name] or I will be forced to drink which my midwife frowns on) and then when we learned we were having [name]Baby[/name] Boy #2 we thought it would be silly to have a [name]North[/name] and [name]Bob[/name]/[name]Joe[/name]/[name]Steve[/name]/[name]Phil[/name]…you get the point. We decided on [name]Everest[/name]…similar in that we felt they were both strong, masculine, aspirational names that people have heard of and know how to spell but were still rather unique. Now we are expecting again and at 29 weeks pregnant still at a loss. ANY help would be great. There are so many beautiful boy names out there but trying to find one that evokes the same feeling (without leaving seeming like we are mountaineers, which we are not, trust me…I would much rather order room service than go camping) as [name]North[/name] and [name]Everest[/name] has been really difficult. ANY help would be very very very appreciated. Oh, our last name is [name]Joyce[/name].

Thanks!

[name]How[/name] about:

[name]Wilder[/name]
[name]Redmond[/name]
[name]Sayer[/name]
[name]Vaughn[/name]
[name]Ogden[/name]
[name]Calloway[/name]
[name]Fielding[/name] (I like this but the lack of nickname potential makes this one less appealing, imo)

There’s also [name]Bay[/name], which I don’t love but you might…

Very interesting names! I’m oddly really feeling your sons names! :slight_smile:

[name]How[/name] about…

[name]Atlas[/name]
[name]Fisher[/name]
[name]Basil[/name]
[name]Kai[/name]
[name]Cedar[/name]
[name]Reed[/name]
[name]Drake[/name]
[name]Finch[/name]
[name]Stone[/name]
[name]Forest[/name]
[name]Leif[/name]
[name]River[/name]
[name]Aspen[/name]
[name]Moss[/name]
[name]Jasper[/name]

[name]Connor[/name] immediately came to mind!

Oh, those are GREAT names! [name]Don[/name]'t worry about seeming like mountaineers, unless you name the next two [name]Rainier[/name] and [name]McKinley[/name] I think you’ll be fine.

My suggestions…
[name]Caspian[/name]
Belmont (nicely surname/place-y, but I do kind of love that it translates as “beautiful mountain” – a subtle connection to his brothers)
[name]Cedar[/name] (this might tinge too nature-y)
[name]Kingsley[/name]
[name]Sterling[/name]
Merit
[name]Justice[/name]
[name]August[/name]
[name]Valor[/name]
[name]Benedict[/name]
[name]Magnus[/name]

I just wanted to thank everyone for taking the time to comment on my post…your suggestions were AMAZING and spot on! I will keep you guys posted…so far my husband likes [name]Atlas[/name], I like [name]Orion[/name] and we both like [name]Gage[/name]…this should prove to be interesting :o) Stay tuned and keep sharing your awesome ideas…we are certainly not married to any name at this point but would [name]LOVE[/name] [name]LOVE[/name] [name]LOVE[/name] to nail this down ASAP.

Thanks again!
[name]Stacey[/name] & [name]Chris[/name]

[name]Reid[/name] came to mind straight away :slight_smile:

There’s a kid named [name]Gage[/name] at my church, he’s a smart, fiery student! Great option there!

We had north and [name]Everest[/name] on our long list. I love them. We also had [name]Gage[/name] on our list. I will share the rest of my list
[name]Rio[/name]
[name]Laszlo[/name]
[name]Zephyr[/name]
[name]Mars[/name]
[name]Indy[/name]
[name]Django[/name]
[name]Oak[/name]

Best of luck

I’m guessing you’re going for more word names?

[name]Hope[/name] some of these spark your interest or get the name flow going

Wulfric, [name]Wallace[/name], [name]Warren[/name], [name]Wilfred[/name]
[name]Zion[/name]

I think [name]Atlas[/name] or [name]Orion[/name] would be great with [name]North[/name] and [name]Everest[/name]. My only hesitation is [name]Atlas[/name] and [name]North[/name] may seem too geographical together? On the other hand it would fit your subtle theme nicely. Either way, I still think it’s a great choice. [name]Orion[/name]'s mythological connection to [name]Atlas[/name] is also really cool and may be a more subtle way to connect to [name]Everest[/name] and [name]North[/name].

[name]Love[/name] previous suggestions of [name]Atlas[/name], [name]Orion[/name], [name]Jasper[/name], and [name]Caspian[/name]!

My offerings are sort of all over the map…astronomy, nature, western, explorer, rugged sounds…anything I would pair with [name]North[/name] and [name]Everest[/name].

[name]Arden[/name]
[name]Rigel[/name]
[name]Sage[/name]
Bracken
[name]Soren[/name]
[name]Rowan[/name]
[name]Drake[/name] (as in Sir [name]Francis[/name] [name]Drake[/name], the privateer/explorer)
[name]Archer[/name]
[name]Roman[/name]
[name]Bjorn[/name]
[name]Jack[/name] (I know it’s quite simple in comparison, but [name]North[/name], [name]Everest[/name], and [name]Jack[/name] just screams of rugged outdoorsy brothers)
[name]Peregrine[/name]
Yukon (too theme-y?)
[name]Odin[/name]
[name]Alaric[/name]
[name]River[/name]
[name]Kodiak[/name]
[name]Forester[/name] (I thought about [name]Forrest[/name], but it’s so tied to [name]Forrest[/name] Gump)
[name]Wyatt[/name]
[name]Bastian[/name]
[name]Clark[/name] (as in [name]Lewis[/name] and [name]Clark[/name]…a more subtle tie-in to the explorer theme)
[name]Sirius[/name]
[name]Declan[/name]
Alder
[name]Colt[/name] or [name]Colton[/name] nn [name]Colt[/name]
[name]Gideon[/name]

[name]Timber[/name]
Magellan
[name]Lincoln[/name]
Wulfric
[name]Briar[/name]
[name]August[/name]
[name]Griffin[/name]
[name]Ronan[/name] (means “little seal!”)
Winchester

I’m excited to see what you choose!

[name]Frost[/name] comes to mind for me first, [name]North[/name] and [name]Everest[/name] both have an icy cool feeling to them in my opinion! I think the third name should match that!

To go with [name]North[/name] and [name]Everest[/name]:

I agree that [name]Lachlan[/name] might be a great match; [name]Logan[/name], [name]Landon[/name], or [name]Leland[/name] too. [name]Lachlan[/name] would be my number 1, of the 4 choices. These not only seem to catch the same surnamey, very manly vibe, but as far as syllables go, all the "L"s that I’ve suggested are 2, while [name]North[/name] is 1 and [name]Everest[/name] is 3. Not a bad combo at all!

I’m curious to know what your other boys’ middles are, especially with last name [name]Joyce[/name]… Yes, please keep us posted.

I like [name]Orion[/name].
