Brother for Dagny

Boy Names
1

We are expecting our second child, a boy, in [name_u]January[/name_u]. We already have a two year old daughter named [name_u]Dagny[/name_u].

We had a few girls names in the running (Himilsy, [name_f]Aeronwen[/name_f], and Auxerre) but are at a complete loss now for a boy’s name.

Previously considered but no longer in the running were:

Euclid (we live in [name_m]Cleveland[/name_m] and this name is tied to a city, a street, a beach, and so on. Therefore not very usable by us).

[name_m]Sherlock[/name_m] - [name_f]Love[/name_f] the name and the nn [name_m]Lock[/name_m] but I think it makes us sound like uber fans of either the BBC show or of naming our children from literature.

[name_m]Arrow[/name_m]/Aero - Still like but I don’t think it quite works.

As you can probably see, we’re fairly adventurous namers so please no common-ish recommendations (the “Aidens” for example).

I’d prefer to stay away from names starting with F and ending in en, in, or on. Our last name is [name_m]Ferguson[/name_m] so I don’t like how those names sound together.

Thanks in advance!

Whoa, you asked me to comment! I am a star here, aren’t I? :wink: Let’s see.
First of all, I love [name_u]Dagny[/name_u]. She makes me think of Grieg’s music and it’s lovely. [name_u]Dagny[/name_u] [name_m]Ferguson[/name_m] has the flowing g-s, I like it.
[name_m]Atlas[/name_m] came to mind but of course he is matchy.
Well, [name_m]Arrow[/name_m] is downmarket and trying-to-be-cool to me. Aires, maybe?
Euclid is a cool guy but he doesn’t quite go with sis. [name_m]Sherlock[/name_m] is fun and lovable and I love him with Dags.
Ideas:
[name_m]Henry[/name_m](it’s popular, yep but [name_u]Dagny[/name_u] and [name_m]Henry[/name_m] are so neat!)
[name_m]Rupert[/name_m]/[name_m]Rufus[/name_m]
[name_m]Victor[/name_m]
Archimedes
[name_m]Gilbert[/name_m]
[name_m]Pierce[/name_m]/[name_m]Lars[/name_m]
[name_m]Wolfgang[/name_m]

[name_m]Ansel[/name_m]
[name_m]Griffith[/name_m]

[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] nn [name_u]Theo[/name_u] and [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] came to mind!

[name_u]Dagny[/name_u] & [name_m]Seamus[/name_m]
[name_u]Dagny[/name_u] & [name_u]Arlo[/name_u]
[name_u]Dagny[/name_u] & [name_m]Fergus[/name_m]

What about Whitlock or Hemlock instead of [name_m]Sherlock[/name_m]? Also I suppose a boy named Cirrus could have [name_m]Lock[/name_m] as a nickname since it means lock of hair. But I think just “[name_m]Locke[/name_m]” as in the philosopher might be a good fit. [name_u]Dagny[/name_u] & [name_m]Locke[/name_m] [name_m]Ferguson[/name_m]?

I like the suggestions of [name_m]Linus[/name_m] and [name_m]Bishop[/name_m], and I like Euclid.

Can I suggest ([name_m]Just[/name_m] trowing out names here…) [name_m]Mars[/name_m], [name_m]Pascal[/name_m], [name_m]Baird[/name_m], [name_m]Pilot[/name_m], [name_m]Llewellyn[/name_m], [name_m]Philo[/name_m], [name_m]Penn[/name_m], [name_m]Oswald[/name_m]

Ending in in/an/en ( but just in case you change your mind :wink: )… [name_m]Berlin[/name_m], [name_m]Sylvan[/name_m]
