Brother for Madeleine, due any day- help us decide!

We are expecting a little boy any day (…hour?) now and still can’t decide on a name. Our daughter is [name]Madeleine[/name] [name]Rose[/name]. Last name is 2 syllable, starts with F and ends in a hard “co” sound.

These have been our front runners, would love any input or suggestions!

[name]Alexander[/name] [name]Dean[/name] (possible nicknames [name]Xander[/name] or the traditional [name]Alex[/name])
[name]Luke[/name] ?? (need ideas on middle name, can’t use [name]Alexander[/name] as MN because I think the initials [name]ALF[/name] are sort of bad)
[name]Jack[/name] [name]Alexander[/name]

Thoughts? Thanks in advance!

Oops on the inital think I meant to say it’d be LAF with [name]Luke[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] but I guess both are sort of bad :slight_smile:

I think [name]Jack[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] is really lovely, or [name]Alexander[/name] [name]Dean[/name] with the more unusual nn [name]Xander[/name].
I think [name]Luke[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] is good too, I don’t think the initials LAF are bad at all, laughing is a good thing!

I like [name]Alexander[/name] [name]Dean[/name] with your last name, and [name]Alexander[/name] and [name]Madeleine[/name] make a great sibset! My second choice would be [name]Jack[/name] [name]Alexander[/name]. BTW, I don’t mind the initials LAF at all! [name]Luke[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] is also very handsome.:slight_smile:

[name]Madeleine[/name] [name]Rose[/name] is beautiful! I love the idea of [name]Jack[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] for her little brother! [name]Alexander[/name] [name]Dean[/name] is nice, too.

Good luck!

I like [name]Alexander[/name] [name]Dean[/name]-- similar to [name]Madeleine[/name] in that you have a longer, more formal first name that has nn options (with [name]Jack[/name] that’s sort of “it”) I also don’t mind the intials LAF at all, but you could go to [name]Lucas[/name] [name]Dean[/name], nn [name]Luke[/name].

I really like [name]Jack[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] as a combo, but I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Dean[/name]! I think [name]Alexander[/name] [name]Dean[/name] matches [name]Madeleine[/name] [name]Rose[/name] very well! A longer FN with a short 4 letter MN! [name]Just[/name] a great match!

[name]How[/name] about [name]Alexander[/name] [name]Jack[/name] – that way you get two favorites, and it follows a similar pattern as big sister’s name with a longer first and shorter middle?

I think I like [name]Luke[/name] the best. [name]Luke[/name] is my very favorite boy’s name, but I’m not sure on how it sounds with [name]Madeleine[/name]. I think it sounds better than [name]Alexander[/name] and [name]Jack[/name], though. One other thing: I don’t know what your entire last name is, but the “K” sound in [name]Luke[/name] might be too much with the “co” sound in your surname. [name]Just[/name] a thought.

Well [name]Jack[/name] is at No 1 so it is uber popular but really one of the best names in the world is [name]Alexander[/name] and it is a perfect match with [name]Madeleine[/name] without a doubt it has to be [name]Alexander[/name] as a brother for [name]Madeleine[/name], it is perfect!
