I’m 28 weeks pregnant with our third boy and my husband and I have not even begun discussing names. We had such a hard time coming up with our second son’s name that I think my husband doesn’t even want to open up the can of worms this time. Since we are eventually going to have to name this child, though, I thought having my own short list to hand to him would make things easier on him.
Our two boys are named [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]George[/name_m] and [name_u]Spencer[/name_u] [name_m]Sean[/name_m]. I absolutely love [name_m]Henry[/name_m]'s name. It was the one name that both my husband and I really liked and we agreed on it easily. [name_u]Spencer[/name_u]'s name was much harder. It was a big compromise on my part and I still…well…don’t love it. I really wish I hadn’t given in on it but we needed to have a name and we couldn’t agree on anything else. I don’t want to make the same mistake with #3.
Here are my thoughts so far. Let me know if you think of other names that I haven’t thought of. I’d love something classic but a bit quirky, like [name_m]Henry[/name_m]. Something easy to pronounce and spell would be a plus too. His middle name will most likely be [name_u]Francis[/name_u], after my father-in-law.
Names I really, really like that were vetoed last time:
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m]
[name_m]Milo[/name_m]
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m]
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m]
Names we were both sorta okay with last time that I’m still sorta okay with:
[name_m]Miles[/name_m]
[name_u]Elliott[/name_u]
[name_u]Reid[/name_u]
[name_m]Declan[/name_m]
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m]
[name_u]Lionel[/name_u]
[name_m]Julian[/name_m]
[name_m]Graham[/name_m]
[name_m]New[/name_m] names I like (not love) this time that I didn’t bring up last time:
Well my sons names are [name_m]Henry[/name_m] and [name_m]Jasper[/name_m]. So maybe we have similar name style. Here’s my list. Sorry if there is any doubles.
[name_u]Luca[/name_u]-
I really love [name_u]Spencer[/name_u] and hope that you will grow to love it! I also love [name_m]Henry[/name_m], but you need no convincing there!
The two names are both old-fashioned names that can maintain their cool vibe.
I picture this sibset with the addition of [name_m]Tobias[/name_m], [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] or [name_m]Rufus[/name_m].
From your list I am loving [name_u]Lionel[/name_u] and [name_m]Julian[/name_m].
Good luck with your search!
You sound like me! I love my first sons name ([name_u]Theo[/name_u]) but I’m still not in love with our second sons name ([name_u]Gus[/name_u]). I’m pregnant with number 3 and I suspect it’s a boy! Anyhow, I digress!
[name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_m]Henry[/name_m], [name_u]Spencer[/name_u] and -
[name_u]Finn[/name_u]
[name_u]Arlo[/name_u]
[name_m]Clive[/name_m]
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_m]Felix[/name_m]
I like to eliminate duplicate initials and same endings, which would narrow your list to: (my faves with [name_m]Henry[/name_m] & [name_u]Spencer[/name_u] are bolded)
