We are naming our 7th son, and I have cold feet with the name we had chosen, [name_m]Jotham[/name_m]. It seemed like a good fit since it is with [name_u]Asa[/name_u] on the genealogy of [name_m]Jesus[/name_m], and they are our two youngest boys. The meaning also seemed just right since we have waited for this little one a very long time and have had a bumpy road with his adoption. We thought we were set and have even told family the name.
It just doesn’t seem like a name I am excited to tell others, so can it be the right one?
His middle name will be [name_m]Olsen[/name_m], as a family tribute. [name_m]Olsen[/name_m] is too close to [name_m]Edison[/name_m] to be used as his first name, right? It doesn’t seem right to have both those endings used.
Ahh!!
[name_f]Do[/name_f] you have any suggestions? Our oldest was named almost 20 years ago now, so we know the styles of names don’t all fit together. [name_m]Edison[/name_m] and [name_u]Asa[/name_u] are our two youngest sons, so maybe a name that fits with theirs would be best.
My other sons are: Brishen, [name_m]Soren[/name_m], [name_m]Zade[/name_m], [name_m]Tobias[/name_m], [name_m]Edison[/name_m], and [name_u]Asa[/name_u]–no one uses nicknames
My daughters are: [name_f]Basia[/name_f] (said like [name_f]Asia[/name_f] with a B) and [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] (we say it [name_u]CASS[/name_u] ee uh)
I’m thinking I may want something a little more familiar but still not common. I’d love a name without an S, since poor [name_m]Zade[/name_m] is the only kiddo who doesn’t have an S, but it’s not an essential rule. I’d like a different initial letter than the other kids have unless it’s an A, since the two oldest would then have B names and two youngest A names. Our last name is common and has one syllable.
Does anyone have suggestions?
Congratulations! [name_m]How[/name_m] exciting it must be to have boy number 7! Your children all have incredible names, and I have to say you’ve done quite well at keeping a coherent sibset over the years!
My main drawback with the name [name_m]Jotham[/name_m] is the combination of [name_m]Jotham[/name_m] [name_m]Olsen[/name_m]. It juat doesn’t sound amazing, but it could work if thats all you agree on. I agree [name_m]Olsen[/name_m] and [name_m]Edison[/name_m] are too similar ending, plus [name_m]Olsen[/name_m] has that -s in there that you want to avoid!
