boy number 3

Hello everyone – reached a brick wall with the names for our third boy.

Our surname is [name_u]LEE[/name_u] which tends to cause problems, for example I like [name_u]Kai[/name_u] but you can’t call a boy [name_u]Kai[/name_u] [name_u]Lee[/name_u] :eek:
Also some times a name like [name_m]Jackson[/name_m] looks more like a surname than the actual surname - which might be confusing,

His Brothers will be
[name_m]Brandon[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] [name_u]Lee[/name_u] (mn after grandad)
[name_u]Blake[/name_u] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_u]Lee[/name_u] (mn after other grandad)

I would really like people opinion, as my shortlist is completely different from my husbands - any here is the combined shortlist

[name_m]Erik[/name_m]
[name_u]Luca[/name_u]
[name_u]Theo[/name_u]
[name_u]Shane[/name_u]
[name_m]Leon[/name_m]
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m]
[name_u]Jamie[/name_u]
[name_m]Jett[/name_m]

Opinions would be really helpful.

Thanks

With [name_m]Brandon[/name_m] and [name_u]Blake[/name_u], I would imagine another “B” name that doesn’t begin with Br or Bl. I don’t believe that siblings have to share the same initial but for me once you start it seems a bit awkward to stop.

I think [name_u]Bennett[/name_u], [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] or [name_m]Beckett[/name_m] will work.

From your list I like the sound of…
[name_m]Brandon[/name_m], [name_u]Blake[/name_u] and [name_u]Theo[/name_u]
[name_m]Brandon[/name_m], [name_u]Blake[/name_u] and [name_u]Shane[/name_u]

Out of your list I like:
[name_m]Brandon[/name_m], [name_u]Blake[/name_u] and [name_m]Elijah[/name_m]
[name_m]Brandon[/name_m], [name_u]Blake[/name_u] and [name_u]Shane[/name_u]
[name_m]Brandon[/name_m], [name_u]Blake[/name_u] and [name_u]Theo[/name_u]

But personally I would go for another B name :slight_smile:

[name_u]Brayden[/name_u]
[name_m]Brock[/name_m]
[name_m]Benjamin[/name_m]
[name_u]Brady[/name_u]
[name_m]Bennett[/name_m]
[name_m]Byron[/name_m]
[name_m]Boaz[/name_m]
[name_m]Benji[/name_m]
[name_u]Bentley[/name_u]
[name_m]Baxter[/name_m]
[name_m]Bronson[/name_m]
[name_m]Brody[/name_m]

All the best!

I also agree with the “B” thing. I am not a fan of siblings sharing the same initials or think it’s necessary, but I presume you are speaking of triplets in which case it’s a little odd to me that two have a B first name and the third won’t. It’s not a tragedy by any means, but it’s a little awkward nonetheless.

The names [name_m]Brandon[/name_m] and [name_u]Blake[/name_u] are cool, but kind of give me a sporty 90’s feel. I think [name_u]Shane[/name_u] fits with them the best. I also like the suggestion of [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m]. It’s a classic, masculine name. I can’t help but love it. [name_m]Ben[/name_m] or [name_m]Benji[/name_m] are great nicknames.

Other ideas:
[name_u]Dylan[/name_u]
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m]
[name_u]Brett[/name_u]
[name_u]Brady[/name_u]
[name_m]Brody[/name_m]
[name_m]Brock[/name_m] (KIDDING! [name_m]Brock[/name_m] [name_u]Lee[/name_u] - haha!)
[name_m]Caleb[/name_m]
[name_m]Nolan[/name_m]
[name_u]Bradley[/name_u]
[name_m]Gavin[/name_m]
[name_m]Andrew[/name_m]
[name_m]David[/name_m]
[name_m]Daniel[/name_m]
[name_m]Adam[/name_m]

What about [name_m]Zachary[/name_m]?

thanks for your replies so far.

To clarify - [name_m]Brandon[/name_m] is 8 and [name_u]Blake[/name_u] is 3, we aren’t following a B theme it just kind of happened like that. However a B name is no issue either

I like [name_m]Brody[/name_m], but DH doesn’t

[name_f]Amy[/name_f]

Yes, [name_u]Lee[/name_u] is hard to name with! I don’t think [name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_u]Lee[/name_u] or [name_m]Leon[/name_m] [name_u]Lee[/name_u] or [name_u]Theo[/name_u] [name_u]Lee[/name_u] flows well at all so I would take those off. [name_u]Jamie[/name_u] [name_u]Lee[/name_u] just reminds me of [name_u]Jamie[/name_u] [name_u]Lee[/name_u] [name_u]Curtis[/name_u]…

From your list I would choose [name_u]Shane[/name_u], [name_m]Jett[/name_m] or [name_m]Elijah[/name_m].

I do agree with other though and would pick a B name. There are so many good ones!

[name_m]Brody[/name_m] [name_u]Lee[/name_u]
[name_u]Brady[/name_u] [name_u]Lee[/name_u]
[name_m]Bennett[/name_m] [name_u]Lee[/name_u]
[name_m]Becker[/name_m] [name_u]Lee[/name_u]
[name_m]Beacon[/name_m] [name_u]Lee[/name_u]

[name_m]Bruce[/name_m]? [name_m]Just[/name_m] kidding!

People - she can’t use names like [name_u]Bradley[/name_u] or Bentely ! Lol!

I like [name_m]Jett[/name_m], but I was worried about the movie tie in - jet li. Especially with [name_m]Brandon[/name_m] [name_u]Lee[/name_u] already.

Also my brother is called [name_u]Shane[/name_u], but always liked to name. So unsure :confused:

Really good to hear people views - thanks

I was thinking the same with [name_m]Jett[/name_m] but wasn’t sure if you knew the [name_m]Brandon[/name_m] connection :slight_smile:

I do like some of the other suggestions too like:

[name_m]Gavin[/name_m]
[name_m]Zachary[/name_m]
[name_u]Rory[/name_u]

[name_m]How[/name_m] About

  • [name_u]Evan[/name_u]
  • [name_u]Emmett[/name_u]
  • [name_m]Ben[/name_m]
  • [name_m]Benji[/name_m]
  • [name_u]Brett[/name_u]
  • [name_m]Bruno[/name_m]
    [name_f]Hope[/name_f] this Helps

I totally disagree with everyone about choosing another B name. Nobody cares–especially boys. They are boys, and as such they aren’t going to spend more than twenty minutes total of their whole lives thinking about their names. Unless they are named something really, really cool like Spiderman. :slight_smile: Therefore, name this next one what you like most whether that be a “B” name or not.

[name_f]My[/name_f] personal favorite from your list is [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] because the rest were harder to say ([name_u]Theo[/name_u] [name_u]Lee[/name_u]), or they sounded like ninjas ([name_m]Jett[/name_m] [name_u]Lee[/name_u]). Now, your son might think it is awesome to sound like a ninja, but I wouldn’t go that direction myself.

I personally like Emment or bennent

I totally agree with this and think [name_m]Bennett[/name_m], [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] and [name_m]Beckett[/name_m] are great suggestions.

From you list I really like [name_u]Shane[/name_u].
