Boy name needed - due next week!

We are due next week (YIKES!) with baby #2 and are really struggling to come up with a name if we have a boy. We already have a daughter named [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] [name_f]Salome[/name_f]. We have agreed on [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] if this baby is a girl (although we are still undecided on a middle name - [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_u]Marion[/name_u] is likely as [name_u]Marion[/name_u] was my DH’s maternal grandmother).

The boy names on our short list at the moment are:

[name_u]Loki[/name_u] (my favourite)
[name_u]Remy[/name_u] (DH’s favourite)
[name_u]Emmett[/name_u]
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m] (what we were going to name [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] if she had been a boy)

I am not completely convinced on any of the names and have absolutely no idea as far as middle names go. Suggestions on middle names are very welcome as are any other ideas/comments on first names.

Oh, our last name starts and ends with ‘s’ and so I am usually opposed to first names that are too ‘s’ heavy.

Thanks so much!

I like all the names. I would suggest using [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] [name_u]Emmett[/name_u] (love the sound of this and the meaning of the names are pretty awesome too!)

I think [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] is a spunky name and needs a cool sibling name to match. [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] is cute because it can easily become [name_f]Elle[/name_f] when needed. Both names are not that popular either.
I really like [name_u]Loki[/name_u] from your list. I like that both nanes have 4 letters too! [name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_u]Loki[/name_u] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] or [name_u]Loki[/name_u] [name_u]August[/name_u].
[name_f]Cleo[/name_f] and [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] sound a little matching with the ‘O’ at the end.
[name_u]Remy[/name_u] is quite feminine so as long as you don’t mind that it goes well with [name_f]Cleo[/name_f].
[name_u]Emmett[/name_u] is cute but I love it as a middle. Maybe [name_u]Loki[/name_u] [name_u]Emmett[/name_u].
Good luck!

[name_m]Hugo[/name_m] is lovely and I think it sounds perfect with [name_f]Cleo[/name_f]! Other ideas could be [name_m]Milo[/name_m] and [name_m]Enzo[/name_m] if you’d like to keep the four letters and ending in O themes going. Otherwise: [name_m]Alec[/name_m], [name_m]Levi[/name_m], [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] and [name_m]Jonah[/name_m] all sound great when paired with [name_f]Cleo[/name_f]. Good luck!

[name_f]Cleo[/name_f] [name_f]Salome[/name_f] and…

[name_m]Hugo[/name_m] [name_u]Loki[/name_u] is cute!

[name_f]Cleo[/name_f] and [name_m]Otis[/name_m]
[name_f]Cleo[/name_f] and [name_m]Emrys[/name_m]
[name_f]Cleo[/name_f] and [name_m]Idris[/name_m]
[name_f]Cleo[/name_f] and [name_m]Jasper[/name_m]
[name_f]Cleo[/name_f] and [name_m]Asher[/name_m]
[name_f]Cleo[/name_f] and [name_u]Luca[/name_u]/[name_m]Lucas[/name_m]
[name_f]Cleo[/name_f] and [name_m]Declan[/name_m]
[name_f]Cleo[/name_f] and [name_u]Rowan[/name_u]
[name_f]Cleo[/name_f] and [name_m]Roman[/name_m]

Thanks for the feedback.
I think [name_u]Loki[/name_u] and [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] are the front runners now…but still not sure which is ‘the one’.

I like [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] best from your list.

Other suggestions:
[name_f]Cleo[/name_f] and [name_u]Jude[/name_u]
[name_f]Cleo[/name_f] and [name_u]Owen[/name_u]
[name_f]Cleo[/name_f] and [name_m]Nate[/name_m]
[name_f]Cleo[/name_f] and [name_m]Wiley[/name_m]
[name_f]Cleo[/name_f] and [name_u]Toby[/name_u]
[name_f]Cleo[/name_f] and [name_m]Wyatt[/name_m]

I love [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] and it goes really well with [name_f]Cleo[/name_f]!

[name_u]Remy[/name_u] [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] :slight_smile:

I like all the names on your shortlist, but combo-wise I think [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] [name_u]Remy[/name_u] would be awesome. I must say I’ve debated on the names [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] and [name_u]Loki[/name_u] for cats previously, so together they do make me think of cats! But that’s just me… I love [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] for a person too btw!

I second the idea of [name_m]Jasper[/name_m]. [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] & [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] would be lovely together. [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] [name_m]Hugo[/name_m], [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] [name_u]Remy[/name_u]? Ooh I also love the idea of [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] & [name_m]Emrys[/name_m]!

For [name_u]Loki[/name_u] I’d choose a more grounded middle… [name_u]Loki[/name_u] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m]?

Good luck!

[name_m]Hugo[/name_m]!! I love this name and I think it’s darling with [name_f]Cleo[/name_f]

Quite a of the names that you suggested were on my list but didn’t make the cut w/ DH ([name_u]Jude[/name_u], [name_m]Natt[/name_m] & [name_m]Wyatt[/name_m]) - you definitely have a handle on what I like! And [name_u]Owen[/name_u] couldn’t make the list because DH’s cousin just had an [name_u]Owen[/name_u].

Thanks for the suggestions.

So not too matchy-matchy w/ the 4 letters and the O ending?

I personally can’t picture the name [name_u]Loki[/name_u] on a person, as I know too many people who have named their dog [name_u]Loki[/name_u] :?

As for [name_m]Hugo[/name_m], I adore the name but do think that it maybe sounds a little matchy with [name_f]Cleo[/name_f]… :frowning:

Some suggestions that are hopefully on the right track:

[name_u]Everett[/name_u]
[name_m]Lincoln[/name_m]
[name_m]Caleb[/name_m]
[name_m]Eli[/name_m]
[name_u]Finn[/name_u]
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m]
[name_m]Isaac[/name_m]
[name_m]Henry[/name_m]
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m]
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m]
[name_m]Angus[/name_m]/[name_u]Gus[/name_u]
[name_u]Mason[/name_u]

I prefer [name_u]Remy[/name_u] out of the names on your list. [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] & [name_u]Remy[/name_u] sounds great together in my opinion.
If you like [name_u]Loki[/name_u] you might like [name_m]Locke[/name_m]? [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] and [name_m]Locke[/name_m]? or [name_m]Luc[/name_m]? [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] and [name_m]Luc[/name_m]?

Here’s some more suggestions that you might like: [name_m]Locke[/name_m], [name_m]Luc[/name_m], [name_m]Cole[/name_m], [name_m]Leon[/name_m], [name_u]Flynn[/name_u], [name_u]Kai[/name_u], [name_m]Ewan[/name_m], [name_m]Elio[/name_m], [name_m]Brock[/name_m], [name_u]Cruz[/name_u],

As for [name_m]Hugo[/name_m]; I think it goes very well with [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] and doesn’t sound to matchy to me

[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] and [name_u]Remy[/name_u]! Considering both myself :). But [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] and [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] maybe sound a little too similar for me with the same ending sounds.

Okay. So we have narrowed it down to [name_u]Loki[/name_u], [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] or [name_m]Lincoln[/name_m] and now are in search of a middle name. We’d love a middle that means ‘gift’ (and preferably not ‘gift from God’).
I am in the [name_u]Loki[/name_u] or [name_m]Lincoln[/name_m] camp and my DH prefers [name_m]Hugo[/name_m].
Induction scheduled for [name_f]Monday[/name_f] if I haven’t had this baby by then! YIKES!

I prefer [name_u]Loki[/name_u].

[name_m]Hugo[/name_m] is super trendy (back home in [name_f]England[/name_f] anyway.)

Let us know how you get on!

[name_m]Lincoln[/name_m] [name_m]Hugo[/name_m]

[name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Marionne/name_f,Marionna, Marione(pron.mary-oh-n :long o sound as in phone),
