Brother for J + M

Our daughters are [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] and [name_f]Meara[/name_f]. What I love most about their names are that they’re unique/uncommon without being too exotic or made-up, and that they both have loose nature affiliations ([name_u]Juniper[/name_u] being the evergreen tree, and [name_f]Meara[/name_f] meaning ‘sea’).

I’d love another loosely-nature-based name for our boy. I also love Scandinavian and Irish/Scottish names (our heritages). I’m also drawn to names that have an R in them, as I think it fits well with our other two names… but not a dealbreaker since this little boy won’t spend his ENTIRE life being defined by his older sisters! :wink:

Names I like so far are…
[name_m]Soren[/name_m]
[name_m]Toren[/name_m]
[name_m]Ronan[/name_m]
[name_m]Lachlan[/name_m]
[name_u]River[/name_u]
[name_u]Pax[/name_u]
[name_m]Declan[/name_m]
[name_u]Rhys[/name_u]
[name_m]Asher[/name_m]

So I have a good handful of “possible” names but since we aren’t sold on any we’re still very much on the hunt. Would [name_u]Love[/name_u] any fun, unique recommendations!

:slight_smile:

Declan, Asher, Rhys, and River are all great names and rather trendy/popular, at least where I am. I know 5 Declans and there are another 4 that participate in our gymnastic class periodically.

Lachlan and Ronan I love! Soren I can’t get passed the SORE. I prefer Taurean/Torian to Toren

[name_u]Juniper[/name_u] and [name_f]Meara[/name_f] are lovely! My favourites on your list are [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] and [name_m]Soren[/name_m], love a lot. Suggesting the following for you.

[name_m]Gallagher[/name_m]
[name_m]Alistair[/name_m]
Tadgh
[name_m]Maguire[/name_m]

[name_u]Juniper[/name_u] and [name_f]Meara[/name_f] are gorgeous!

The first brother name that popped in my head was [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] but I’m not sure if you want to repeat the same ending as [name_u]Juniper[/name_u]. I’m not sure if it’s technically a nature name but it immediately makes me think of the rugged wilderness; mountains and pine trees and fresh air.

The second name that came to me was [name_u]Rowan[/name_u]. It’s definitely a nature name and I think it’s Irish or Scottish or Welsh. It’s also similar sounding to other names on your list and it sounds great with [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] and [name_f]Meara[/name_f]. The only problem is you would have 2 kids with tree names.

Other names
[name_m]Hawk[/name_m]… or maybe [name_m]Hawthorne[/name_m] called [name_m]Hawk[/name_m]?
[name_u]Everest[/name_u]
[name_m]Fox[/name_m]
[name_u]Morgan[/name_u] (great circling sea)
[name_u]West[/name_u] or [name_m]Weston[/name_m] called [name_u]West[/name_u]
[name_u]North[/name_u]

Or maybe a name after some famous explorers
[name_m]Lewis[/name_m] or [name_m]Louis[/name_m]
[name_m]Clark[/name_m]
[name_m]Boone[/name_m]

Or maybe a name relating to the sun or sky since your daughters are already named relating to earth and water
