[name_m]Heath[/name_m] [name_m]Hill[/name_m] sounds like a street name to me, also with them both being one syllable you’d need a multi-syllable in the middle to make it work.

[name_f][/name_f]

Names I feel are similar to the energy of [name_m]Heath[/name_m]:

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Reid[/name_m] – Crisp, nature-adjacent (red hair, clearing), quietly strong
[name_m]Blaine[/name_m] – [name_m]Gentle[/name_m] sound, rugged undertone
[name_m]Graham[/name_m] – Traditional, grounded, very wearable
[name_m]Rowan[/name_m] – Nature-rooted, calm, not flashy
[name_m]Calder[/name_m] – [name_m]Earthy[/name_m], outdoorsy, but refined

[name_f][/name_f]

Names that lean slightly more western but are still tasteful:

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Wesley[/name_m] – Subtle western association, classic backbone
[name_m]Harlan[/name_m] – [name_m]Rural[/name_m], solid, underused without being trendy
[name_m]Clark[/name_m] – Clean, masculine, outdoors-adjacent
[name_m]Lyle[/name_m] – Short, sturdy, gently pastoral
[name_m]Grant[/name_m] – [name_m]Strong[/name_m], simple, timeless

And when he arrives, if he doesn’t feel like a [name_m]Heath[/name_m], I suspect he’d feel like [name_m]Reid[/name_m], [name_m]Graham[/name_m], or [name_m]Rowan[/name_m] instead. Those three are your safest backups.
