Beckett 🐝

[anon25197097]

Thanks. I didn’t think the name was that popular in the states. Here in the UK I’ve not actually met another [name_u]Beckett[/name_u]. It’s interesting how certain names can have a juxtaposition about them. ‘[name_u]New[/name_u]’/surname type names which have an almost vintage feel to them.

[whatchamacallit]

I go back and forth about [name_u]Griffin[/name_u] because of this. I like it because of the mythology but it also has a modern feel to some people. Because it’s a surname name too I guess. Nothing wrong with that. [name_m]Just[/name_m] depends on the feeling you’re going for.

[anon25197097]

I really like [name_u]Griffin[/name_u]. I just realised that A and J’s names are both connected to kings. J being from the Bible as one of the three kings/bringer of treasure. And A as in ( probably don’t have to explain that one hah ) are you sure you don’t want another king/prince name

[whatchamacallit]

Right! yes, they are. And I may. Lol

I feel like your boys’ names are very classic and yet still sound fresh so they would work with both something like [name_u]Elias[/name_u] or something like [name_u]Beckett[/name_u].

Beckett is such a handsome name with a great sound feels dignified and elegant.

[anon25197097]

The king/prince theme is so sweet. I’m actually sad that I didn’t come up with this hahah. Thank you. I certainly like my classics. I know that probably a lot of the family won’t really like [name_u]Beckett[/name_u] as it’s not a conservative choice. But I really do want to go for something a bit different for the middle name choice. Whilst still having that classic feel about it.

[whatchamacallit]

Since this is your last baby I would not worry at all what family thinks. Go for the name you love most and would most regret not using. (that your partner also likes )

Definitely the middle spot is fair game to go a bit wild.

I think if anyone gives me grief I will remind them they had their opportunity to name their children. [name_f]My[/name_f] dad has given me grief over the name [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f]. He says she will come out riding on a broomstick… Cheers dad. ,

[whatchamacallit]

That’s hilarious. Well, if she does, she does. jk
[name_f]Tabitha[/name_f] is a gorgeous name and I wouldn’t have ever associated it with broomsticks unless someone brought it up.
The only association I have is from [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_m]Potter[/name_m]. And that’s not a bad one at all.

[anon25197097]

She could just arrive on a broomstick that might be helpful lol. If it means a lack of childbirth scenario he says it sounds like a witches name. I guess he is thinking of Bewitched show was it? In the 60s.
He will no doubt call his grandchild a random nickname anyway lol. [name_f]My[/name_f] eldest he calls him Joe90 and my youngest he calls Englebert? When as you know, that is so far removed from what they are actually named.

[whatchamacallit]

Yes, I know Bewitched but it’s just not my first thought. Lol
Those are definitely random nicknames That’s sweet though.

[anon25197097]

Sweet but bemused grandchildren. Eccentric grandad lol.

[Posielee]

I know a [name_u]Beckett[/name_u]! He is super cute. He mostly just goes by [name_u]Beckett[/name_u], but his dad calls him [name_f]Bex[/name_f].

[anon25197097]

AHH that’s cute.

[anon25197097]

So I rang my mum up this evening and asked her what she thought to [name_u]Elias[/name_u] [name_u]Beckett[/name_u] combo? And she loves it! She said ’ That is so classy and wow he sounds like he could be the next president of the United states’ at this point my partner nearly chokes on his tea and laughs.
I mean I am not American, don’t have any American family and don’t live in [name_u]America[/name_u] so I guess it’s a good response nevertheless.

([name_f]My[/name_f] mum is nuts in the nicest way possible)

I really love [name_u]Beckett[/name_u]!! It’s strong but sweet and the meaning is really lovely. [name_u]Beck[/name_u], [name_f]Bee[/name_f] and [name_m]Kitt[/name_m] are lovely nicknames as others have suggested I’ve never met a [name_u]Beckett[/name_u] but it doesn’t feel too ‘out-there’, it’s warm and familiar.

[anon25197097]

@katkabet @MargotAbeline thanks this is only a middle name option for us but you’ve described how I feel about the name.

[whatchamacallit]

This is awesome.

It is a really cool combo. I like the way [name_u]Elias[/name_u] and [name_u]Beckett[/name_u] look and sound together.

[elleplume]

Oh I love this for you!!

[oceansea]

Beckett is so cute! It’s meaning is and it has the most amazing nn options. It sounds more modern to my ears but that’s just because I’ve never met one before.
