Berry Court: Dorian Michael & Who?

Jumping on the bandwagon here as well! Today I present to you the male variant of my forever love, [name_u]Dorian[/name_u] [name_u]Michael[/name_u] “Rory”. His name is very special to me as it honors the 2 most special people in my life. This is 100% the name of my future firstborn son, I have no doubts in my mind. When it comes to figuring out who his siblings would be though, I am at a total loss. Today we are going to trial his hypothetical brothers and below are the names we are bringing to court! It will be your job to determine which 3 names make the cut and why.

  • [name_u]Evan[/name_u] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]
  • [name_m]Ethan[/name_m] [name_u]Scott[/name_u]
  • [name_u]Jude[/name_u] [name_u]Emrys[/name_u]
  • [name_m]Graham[/name_m] [name_m]Millard[/name_m]
  • [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m] “Levi”
  • [name_u]Sacha[/name_u] [name_u]Aidan[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u]
  • [name_u]Connor[/name_u] [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] “Nori”
  • [name_u]Mason[/name_u] [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] “Ace”
  • [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]Orion[/name_u] “Auggie”
  • [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_u]Everett[/name_u] “Asthon”
  • [name_u]Henry[/name_u] [name_m]Malachi[/name_m]
  • [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] [name_u]Julian[/name_u] “Nico”
  • [name_u]Benjamin[/name_u] [name_u]Luca[/name_u] “Jamie”
  • [name_u]Liam[/name_u] [name_m]Alistair[/name_m]
  • [name_m]Jeremiah[/name_m] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] “Jez”
  • [name_u]Noah[/name_u] [name_m]Silas[/name_m]
  • [name_m]Lucan[/name_m] [name_u]Leander[/name_u] “Luke”
  • Elisander [name_u]Owen[/name_u] “Ellis”
  • [name_m]Aloysius[/name_m] [name_m]Cole[/name_m] “Louis”
  • [name_m]Remus[/name_m] [name_u]Finley[/name_u] “Remy”

Equally as important as your top three choices would be the reasons why you chose them, so it would be great if you could explain, even a little bit, about why you made your decisions.

Thank you Berries, can’t wait to see your responses!

[name_u]Wonderful[/name_u] names!

[name_f]My[/name_f] favorites for [name_u]Dorian[/name_u] Micheal’s brother are

[name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]Orion[/name_u] - I love the almost-alliteration here. The names together remind me of a balmy summer starry night. It’s a very strong, yet friendly name.

[name_m]Aloysius[/name_m] [name_m]Cole[/name_m] - we very nearly named our last son [name_m]Alois[/name_m] and called him Louis/Louie! I just love the unexpected full name for [name_m]Louis[/name_m]. And both names are so storied and packed with history!

[name_u]Henry[/name_u] [name_m]Malachi[/name_m] - I love the flow here and the fact that [name_u]Henry[/name_u] works so well with his brothers, even without a nickname.

[name_u]Rory[/name_u], [name_m]Auggie[/name_m], [name_m]Louis[/name_m], and [name_u]Henry[/name_u] :heart:

[name_f]My[/name_f] runners up would be [name_u]Benjamin[/name_u] [name_u]Luca[/name_u], [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_u]Everett[/name_u], and [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m].

[name_m]Aloysius[/name_m] [name_m]Cole[/name_m]
[name_u]Connor[/name_u] [name_u]Flynn[/name_u]
Elisander [name_u]Owen[/name_u]

These would be cool. I swapped some middles:

[name_m]Ambrose[/name_m] [name_m]Oliver[/name_m]
[name_u]Elliott[/name_u] [name_u]Mason[/name_u]
[name_m]Alistair[/name_m] [name_u]Liam[/name_u]

They would fit too if middle swapped

[name_u]Dorian[/name_u] [name_u]Michael[/name_u] and…

[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_u]Everett[/name_u]
[name_u]Evan[/name_u] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]
[name_u]Benjamin[/name_u] [name_u]Luca[/name_u]

Runner-up: [name_u]Connor[/name_u] [name_u]Flynn[/name_u]

[name_u]Dorian[/name_u] [name_u]Michael[/name_u]
[name_u]Jude[/name_u] [name_u]Emrys[/name_u]
[name_u]Connor[/name_u] [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] (though probably wouldn’t use [name_u]Nori[/name_u] with [name_u]Rory[/name_u] even if they don’t exactly rhyme)
[name_m]Lucan[/name_m] [name_u]Leander[/name_u]

With [name_u]Michael[/name_u], [name_u]Emrys[/name_u], [name_u]Connor[/name_u] and [name_m]Lucan[/name_m], these are rugged and poetic celtic names to me! Might sub out [name_m]Lucan[/name_m] for [name_u]Liam[/name_u] or [name_m]Graham[/name_m] so all four have different endings to first name, but I like [name_m]Lucan[/name_m] at this point!

I absolutely love [name_u]Dorian[/name_u] [name_u]Michael[/name_u] :books:

I would name his brothers

[name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m] ~ [name_u]Dorian[/name_u] has this sweet bookish peaceful vibe that works so wonderfully with [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] the most peaceful boys name on the planet. [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] is gorgeous! [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m] makes a fabulous middle name for [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] such a distinguished choice.

[name_u]Jude[/name_u] [name_u]Emrys[/name_u] ~ [name_u]Jude[/name_u] is such a sweet happy name that sounds boyish and handsome. I think [name_u]Dorian[/name_u], [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] & [name_u]Jude[/name_u] are a fabulous sibling set. I think [name_u]Emrys[/name_u] is a wonderful middle name for [name_u]Jude[/name_u] soft, sweet and outdoorsy. Once again I think [name_u]Jude[/name_u] [name_u]Emrys[/name_u] fits the overall peaceful feel of this sibling set.

[name_u]Henry[/name_u] [name_m]Malachi[/name_m] ~ I found the final boys name challenging to choose but I had to choose another bookish calming choice which made [name_u]Henry[/name_u] appeal to me the most. Ultimately [name_u]Henry[/name_u] is gorgeous and I think works so well with [name_u]Dorian[/name_u], [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] & [name_u]Jude[/name_u]. As for Henry’s middle name I love [name_m]Malachi[/name_m]. I was a bit concerned that [name_m]Malachi[/name_m] was very close to [name_u]Michael[/name_u] but I actually didn’t think there was an issue at all. [name_m]Malachi[/name_m] + [name_u]Michael[/name_u] have different origins, means and sound different also they are middle names so I think it’s fine!

[name_u]Dorian[/name_u], [name_m]Oliver[/name_m], [name_u]Jude[/name_u] & [name_u]Henry[/name_u] :books::dove::herb:

With the lovely [name_u]Dorian[/name_u] [name_u]Michael[/name_u] ‘Rory’, I’m going with…

[name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]Orion[/name_u] - earthy, arty, and gentle but strong; it’s got a hint of magic and brightness, ruggedness and flair

[name_u]Jude[/name_u] [name_u]Emrys[/name_u] - gentle but bold, mystical but grounded, literary and fresh.

[name_u]Sacha[/name_u] [name_u]Aidan[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] - charming, unexpected and cool with a sweet, rugged sound!

I like how all of these are distinctively boyish but easily unisex too, which make them all mesh well for me!
