We are expecting baby #2 and I have a sneaky suspicion it will be another boy. We have a precious son [name]Charlie[/name], who was named for my FIL. It was so easy to pick the name for #1 and are just having so much trouble coming up with another boy name that we love. Please help! I was crazy about the name [name]Grant[/name], but my best friend just named her son [name]Grant[/name] and I don’t want to have another. There are so many other great names out there, I’m sure we can come up with another one!
I would stay our style is sort of classic/preppy/southern…
A few of the names that we “like”, but don’t yet love…
I know a [name]Jack[/name] and [name]Charlie[/name] SOOO cute together.
Yes, [name]Jack[/name] is super popular but it is a great match.
[name]Charlie[/name] and [name]Nathan[/name] (nn [name]Nate[/name])
[name]Charlie[/name] and [name]Jake[/name]
I think [name]Jack[/name] and [name]Grant[/name] have a similar feel.
I love [name]Charlie[/name]! I think [name]Jack[/name] and [name]Charlie[/name] are perfect together.
A few other ideas (sorry for repeats!):
[name]Henry[/name]/[name]Harry[/name]
[name]Oscar[/name]
[name]Oliver[/name]
[name]Julian[/name] (I think [name]Jude[/name] and [name]Jules[/name], not to mention [name]Ian[/name], are pretty cool nicknames!)
[name]Jude[/name]
[name]Felix[/name]
[name]Sebastian[/name]
[name]Linus[/name]
[name]Patrick[/name]
[name]Calvin[/name] (do you mind alliteration? I know some don’t care and some like it, and some don’t want to go there at all…)
[name]Daniel[/name]
[name]James[/name]/[name]Jameson[/name]
[name]William[/name]
[name]Declan[/name]
[name]Ezra[/name]
[name]Bennett[/name]
Thanks for the suggestions! I looove [name]Oscar[/name], but fear that the [name]OScar[/name] the Grouch reference would follow a little boy. What do y’all think?
Other names I like from these lists: [name]Bennett[/name], [name]Brady[/name], [name]Henry[/name], [name]Jake[/name]/[name]Jacob[/name], [name]Luke[/name], [name]Mason[/name], and [name]Peter[/name].
Unfortunately, I have friends who have named their little boys SO MANY of the other names that I love… [name]Miles[/name], [name]MAx[/name], [name]OWen[/name], [name]Oliver[/name], etc. Of course, I know other [name]Charlie[/name]'s, but since it was a family name, I felt like it was justified. Hard to be the last of my friends having babies!!
I think [name]Charlie[/name] & [name]Oscar[/name] are perfect together and I think [name]Oscar[/name] is well known beyond [name]Oscar[/name] the Grouch so I wouldn’t fear the association much. [name]Oscar[/name] is very popular in the UK right, and I’m sure will rise in other places too.
[name]Charlie[/name] & [name]Bennett[/name] are lovely together, as are [name]Charlie[/name] & [name]Jake[/name].
I just saw a name and thought I would mention it to you.
Since you liked [name]Grant[/name] how about [name]Brent[/name]? You could have [name]Brenton[/name] if you liked that too.
I think our naming styles are similar so i can give you a couple off my list.
Our sons name is [name]Graham[/name]. [name]LOVE[/name] his name. I think it has a bit of southern gentleman yet very masculine feel to it. Also, it’s relatively uncommon without being “out there”
Boy names we are considering for baby number 2 due in [name]December[/name] are:
[name]Brooks[/name] (right now the front runner)
[name]Heath[/name]
[name]Patrick[/name]
[name]Arthur[/name]
I think [name]Jack[/name] and [name]Charlie[/name] are perfect together.
