Considering brother names for cole. We tend to like shorter, masculine strong names. We want somehhing not super common but also not obscure. We tend to like Irish names as we are Irish! Any feedback welcome
Short list: cole and…
[name_u]Ryan[/name_u] (both love, ?dated/too 90s vs cole)
[name_u]Reid[/name_u] (both like, strong, masculine, different)
[name_m]Brody[/name_m] ( cute but trendy? [name_m]Will[/name_m] it age well)
[name_m]Wyatt[/name_m] (getting too popular?)
[name_m]Weston[/name_m] (NN [name_m]Wes[/name_m], maybe too uncommon)
Also love chase and [name_u]Shane[/name_u] but doesn’t flow as well with last name.
Unfortunately, I do find [name_u]Ryan[/name_u] dated, [name_m]Brody[/name_m] too trendy and [name_m]Wyatt[/name_m] too common.
That said, I love [name_u]Reid[/name_u] and [name_m]Weston[/name_m] “[name_m]Wes[/name_m]” with [name_m]Cole[/name_m]!

So many of these I like and I had on my bigger list but always hard to get husband on board!! Others I love but don’t work with last name which is infuriating! But thank you for some new ideas!
I think [name_u]Reid[/name_u] is a lovely choice, as well as [name_m]Weston[/name_m] “[name_m]Wes[/name_m]”. Good luck, you can’t go wrong with any of these names.
I like [name_u]Reid[/name_u] [name_m]Weston[/name_m], but would you want to possibly save [name_m]Weston[/name_m] for a future first name if you had another boy? I also like [name_u]Reid[/name_u] [name_m]Donovan[/name_m], it’s fun/unusual.
I second [name_u]Reid[/name_u] [name_m]Donovan[/name_m]. I like the three syllable middle name after the one syllable first name. Sounds great together.
What you haven’t told us is if your first son has an honor middle name. If that is the case, I would lean towards [name_u]Reid[/name_u] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] to be consistant.
I like all your names and think they all work well with [name_m]Cole[/name_m]. However, as you don’t want something too popular best to go with [name_u]Reid[/name_u] or [name_m]Weston[/name_m]. Congratulations!
[name_u]Ryan[/name_u] - I don’t like this at all.
[name_u]Reid[/name_u] - I like [name_m]Cole[/name_m] and [name_u]Reid[/name_u] together but I’m not a fan of the name itself.
[name_m]Brody[/name_m] - I love [name_m]Brody[/name_m] but I’d have to agree that it’s getting too popular.
[name_m]Wyatt[/name_m] - I wouldn’t say it’s getting popular. I feel like it’s already passed its peak.
[name_m]Weston[/name_m] - I don’t think it’s too uncommon, just a bit older.
[name_u]Reid[/name_u] [name_m]Donovan[/name_m] and [name_u]Reid[/name_u] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] are both great, but if you dislike RJ you might skip [name_m]Joseph[/name_m]. My middle is a feminization of [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] and I get called AJ so it happens!
We have a 4 year old named [name_m]Cole[/name_m] His brothers are [name_u]Parker[/name_u] and [name_m]Ethan[/name_m].
We’re expecting another little boy and [name_m]Weston[/name_m] is on our name list too, but with [name_u]West[/name_u] as a NN instead of [name_m]Wes[/name_m] (we already have a [name_m]Wesley[/name_m] in the family who goes by [name_m]Wes[/name_m] lol)
Other names I’ve considered that I think pair well with [name_m]Cole[/name_m] are: [name_u]Evan[/name_u], [name_m]Liam[/name_m], [name_m]Asher[/name_m], [name_u]Jameson[/name_u], [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u]
Yes my son is [name_m]Cole[/name_m] [name_u]Michael[/name_u] ([name_u]Michael[/name_u] is family name) that’s why I was thinking [name_u]Reid[/name_u] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] was nice match (both shorter more uncommon first name with classic family meaning middle name). My only hesitation was risk for RJ nick name. My husband doesn’t think it would turn into that I’m just nervous haha
[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_m]Cole[/name_m] and [name_m]Weston[/name_m] together! My second choice would be [name_u]Ryan[/name_u] :).
