Brother for Kellen?

Boy Names
1

Its official. I am pregnant with #2! We have a little boy [name_m]Kellen[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m]. I am looking for a boy name that we like that might compliment [name_m]Kellen[/name_m]'s name. Here are some we like so far. I would love your opinions and more suggestions. Thanks! :slight_smile:

[name_m]Jethro[/name_m]
[name_u]Blake[/name_u]
[name_m]Ian[/name_m] (too close to [name_m]Kellen[/name_m]?)
[name_u]Harley[/name_u]
[name_u]Rory[/name_u] (Husband likes it, I am iffy)
[name_u]Sidney[/name_u] (husband thinks it’s too girly)
[name_m]Malachi[/name_m]

I would like to use a family name as a middle. [name_m]Ted[/name_m] would be my number 1 choice because of its significance, but it is hard to pair. [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], [name_m]Wyatt[/name_m], [name_m]Kipling[/name_m] and [name_u]Harly[/name_u]/[name_m]Harlan[/name_m] would also work (if we pick a first name that doesn’t go with [name_m]Ted[/name_m])

Thanks for the help!

I think you should use [name_m]Kipling[/name_m] at the 1st name!

Thank you for the response. I like [name_m]Kipling[/name_m] too but we want to avoid having two children with K first names.

[name_m]Ted[/name_m] seems so hard to pair with a first name but I will try!

[name_m]Brendon[/name_m] [name_m]Ted[/name_m]
[name_m]Gannon[/name_m] [name_m]Ted[/name_m]
[name_m]Dawson[/name_m] [name_m]Ted[/name_m]
[name_m]Dalton[/name_m] [name_m]Ted[/name_m]

With [name_m]Kellen[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m], I really like [name_u]Blake[/name_u] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] nn [name_m]Ted[/name_m] :slight_smile:

I love the name [name_m]Kellen[/name_m]!

[name_m]How[/name_m] about…

  • [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_m]Kent[/name_m]
  • [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_u]Kay[/name_u]
  • [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_m]Madoc[/name_m]/[name_m]Maddox[/name_m]

  • [name_m]Xavier[/name_m] [name_u]Kay[/name_u]

[name_m]Kellen[/name_m] & [name_m]Levi[/name_m]

  • [name_m]Levi[/name_m] [name_m]Kent[/name_m]
  • [name_m]Levi[/name_m] [name_u]Kay[/name_u]
  • [name_m]Levi[/name_m] [name_m]Amir[/name_m]
  • [name_m]Levi[/name_m] [name_m]Madoc[/name_m]/[name_m]Maddox[/name_m]

[name_m]Kellen[/name_m] & [name_m]Beckett[/name_m]

  • [name_m]Beckett[/name_m] [name_u]Kay[/name_u]
  • [name_m]Beckett[/name_m] [name_m]Amir[/name_m]

[name_m]Kellen[/name_m] & [name_u]Everett[/name_u]

  • [name_u]Everett[/name_u] [name_u]Kay[/name_u]
  • [name_u]Everett[/name_u] [name_m]Amir[/name_m]

[name_m]Amir[/name_m] ~ son of [name_m]King[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] alt. spellings: Amr, Amhar, Anir
(Sir) [name_u]Kay[/name_u]~ foster brother to [name_m]King[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_m]Madoc[/name_m] ~ brother to [name_m]King[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] (could spell it as [name_m]Maddox[/name_m] to modernize it)
[name_m]Kent[/name_m] ~ nothing Arthurian… just like it as a middle :slight_smile:

Not sure if you like the Arthurian thing at all, but I had fun with it…

If you went with [name_u]Kay[/name_u], [name_m]Amir[/name_m], or [name_m]Madoc[/name_m]/[name_m]Maddox[/name_m], the names [name_f]Gwen[/name_f], [name_f]Elaine[/name_f], [name_f]Anna[/name_f], [name_f]Faye[/name_f], or [name_u]Morgan/name_u, could be a fun themed middle for a girl.

Best of luck!
