Boy name after a loss

Finally feel like I can finally exhale a little, had our anatomy scan and everything looks healthy and we’re having a boy!

This is our first pregnancy since the stillbirth of our son [name_u]Marlow[/name_u] [name_u]Vernon[/name_u] [name_m]Peter[/name_m] (MVP). And I have NO idea what name to do, thought I was surely having a girl.
We have one living daughter: [name_u]Clarke[/name_u] [name_u]Julianne[/name_u] [name_f]Eliza[/name_f]

We like trendy-ish names obviously but nothing too common that there will be two in a class. And we have used family/traditional names in the middle. Really need something unique and strong, this is [name_u]Clarke[/name_u] [name_m]Kent[/name_m]’s little brother lol. But not too cheesy (husband wants [name_m]Lewis[/name_m] lol).

Batting around but VERY open to more suggestions
[name_m]Winston[/name_m]
[name_u]Ridley[/name_u] (although we were gonna use it for a girl)
[name_u]Lennox[/name_u]

I like your list so far, especially [name_m]Winston[/name_m] and [name_u]Ridley[/name_u].

How about…

Rigby
[name_u]Winslow[/name_u] (might be too close to [name_u]Marlow[/name_u] for you, but I thought I’d suggest it anyway, in case the connection appeals)

I’m thinking a classic, masculine name is the way to go.

[name_m]Andrew[/name_m]
[name_m]Benji[/name_m]

Beautiful names! So proud for your strong baby boy, I love the name [name_u]Lennox[/name_u] for you but might I suggest [name_m]Winston[/name_m] [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_u]Lark[/name_u], maybe [name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_m]Bruce[/name_m], since your have a [name_u]Clarke[/name_u] and the names match! Other names with no pairing in particular is [name_m]Rider[/name_m], [name_m]Elton[/name_m], [name_u]James[/name_u], and [name_m]Augusto[/name_m]/August

Your childrens’ names are absolutely lovely!

How about [name_m]Radley[/name_m] instead of [name_u]Ridley[/name_u]? [name_m]Radley[/name_m] might seem a little more masculine.

Hi. I’m so sorry for your loss. I just wanted to share my story, which allowed me to envision a name. I had a miscarriage before I conceived my first son, it is such a hard process to go through but 2 months later we conceived again. We were really set on the name Harry and he was gonna be Harry up until 5 months, when one day I turned to my partner and said I don’t feel Harry is right… The next week or so the name Zachary kept coming to me in a dream and I thought I would look up the name meaning. To find out the name meant ‘god remembers’ it really struck me that. I suggested the name to my partner the next day and he absolutely loved the name. Nearly 6 years later we have our Zachary.
I guess what I am saying is, perhaps the name might come to you over the next few months or so.
Can I make a suggestion. I really like Theo Ridley together ( Theo divine gift).
All the very best :slightly_smiling_face:

It took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out why you don’t want to name your son [name_m]Lewis[/name_m] lol. Honestly it’d still be pretty cute. I do like the suggestion of [name_u]Lennon[/name_u]. [name_u]Lyle[/name_u] would be absolutely adorable too.
