[name_m]Hi[/name_m]! [name_f]My[/name_f] husband and I are discussing having another baby. We have our girl name chosen, but are stuck on a possible boy name. I’d love some input. Our son is [name_m]Pierce[/name_m] [name_m]James[/name_m].
[name_f][/name_f]
I have always really liked the name [name_m]Trevor[/name_m] but am unsure about how it fits with [name_m]Pierce[/name_m]. [name_m]Trevor[/name_m] feels more cowboyish to me. Thoughts?
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_m]Other[/name_m] names we like: [name_m]Tristan[/name_m], [name_m]Ronan[/name_m], [name_m]Ashton[/name_m], [name_m]Graham[/name_m], [name_m]Emmett[/name_m], [name_m]Kellan[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f]
We don’t want anything too popular/commonly used. It’s important to me that it fits well with [name_m]Pierce[/name_m].
your list is so lovely! personally, i think trevor leans more retro, where pierce feels more unexpected. pierce isn’t exactly modern (not in the way of everly or braxton), but i would expect him to be more in the crowd of lennon, greyson, river, etc, while trevor, to me, fits in with the daniels, dereks, and matthews of the world.
my immediate thought for pierce’s brother was rowan, so i’d give ronan my vote! second place would be graham, with emmett not too far behind.
maybe you’d like…
– river
– oaken
– jude
– wilder
– wilson
– truett
– wiley
– elliott
– harrison
– reid
– wesley
– auden
– holden
– quinn
– oscar
You have a great list of names! I think from your list Graham and Ronan goes best with Pierce. Here are a few names that I think go with your son’s name. (I love his name btw!). I hope this helps!
Leon
Vaughn
Carlisle
Reed / Reid
Rafe
Ford
Conrad
Lachlan
Dashiell
Donovan
Warner
Deacon
Sullivan
Clark
Callahan
Nixon
Wells
Fletcher
I think any of these would work with Pierce, but my favorites are Graham and Emmett.

I’m not personally keen on [name_m]Trevor[/name_m], but I don’t think of it as a cowboy name. I’m in the UK though so there could be an association I’m not aware of.
[name_f][/name_f]
I like [name_m]Tristan[/name_m] best with [name_m]Pierce[/name_m] from your other choices.
[name_f][/name_f]
Some other suggestions: [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Anders[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Julian[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Gregory[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Arthur[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Christian[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Joel[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Asher[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Eric[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Heath[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Ivan[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Jeremy[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Adrian[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Dustin[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Cameron[/name_m]
[name_m]Trevor[/name_m] and Pi.erce have a similar vibe to me! A touch retro/90s vibes [name_f][/name_f][name_f][/name_f].
[name_f][/name_f]
I also like [name_m]Ronan[/name_m], [name_m]Tristan[/name_m], [name_m]Ashton[/name_m], [name_m]Graham[/name_m], [name_m]Emmett[/name_m], and [name_m]Kellan[/name_m] too [name_f][/name_f]- especially [name_m]Tristan[/name_m], though I think [name_m]Kellan[/name_m], [name_m]Graham[/name_m] and [name_m]Ashton[/name_m] “fit” best with Pi.erce

A few other ideas: [name_f][/name_f] [name_m]Roy[/name_m], [name_m]Drew[/name_m], [name_m]Jonas[/name_m], [name_m]Saul[/name_m], [name_m]Harlan[/name_m], [name_m]Seth[/name_m], [name_m]Madden[/name_m], [name_m]Declan[/name_m]
[name_f]So[/name_f] I’m from the UK and I do think our naming styles are different to other places especially the states. [name_m]Trevor[/name_m] for me feels the wrong kinda clunky and just dated. Pierc3 feels elegant, preppy & refined the opposite of [name_m]Trevor[/name_m] in my opinion. But appreciate names read differently in different places.
[name_f][/name_f]
For me [name_m]Tristan[/name_m] + [name_m]Ronan[/name_m] are very cohesive with [name_f][/name_f] Pierc3. [name_m]Tristan[/name_m] is a handsome name that feels romantic with the preppy flair of Pierc3 I think they make a great pairing. [name_m]Ronan[/name_m] feels outdoorsy, earthy and rugged and stylish with Pierc3 almost like [name_m]Ronan[/name_m] would be the wilder younger brother to softer more studious Pierc3.

You’ve had lots of lovely suggestions so please count any repeats as me being in agreement with the berries
[name_m]Trevor[/name_m] is [name_f]British[/name_f] and a bit stuffy to me, far from a cowboy name. [name_m]Tristan[/name_m] or [name_m]Graham[/name_m] would be better fits.
May be less relevant as an Aussie chiming in, but Trevor is very Boomer (and not in a cool, vintage way) and reads “regular bloke”. Nothing wrong with that but doesn’t go at all with the preppy and debonair, Pierce. (Just now read Tori’s post - yes, same in Oz as UK.)
I would also endorse Tristan or Ronan! Ashton would be my next pick. I don’t mind the others but Trevor really stands out as a “only if it’s your top fave” for me.

All your choices fit beautifully, I personally like [name_m]Graham[/name_m] and [name_m]Emmett[/name_m] best with [name_m]Pierce[/name_m]. Some more suggestions:
Seconding this as a [name_f]Brit[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f] I find it so fascinating how certain names skew totally differently in the states [name_f][/name_f]- it’s the same with [name_m]Graham[/name_m], he’s still trendy in the US I believe but in the UK he’s pure boomer middle manager type. I also find [name_m]Pierce[/name_m] has a 90s vibe.
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]So[/name_f] maybe us Brits and Aussies are not the best people to ask about this [name_f][/name_f] Having said that, I do really like [name_m]Ronan[/name_m], [name_m]Tristan[/name_m], and [name_m]Kellan[/name_m] with [name_m]Pierce[/name_m]!
[name_m]Pierce[/name_m] feels more modern and [name_m]Trevor[/name_m] more 90s kid, but I do think they make a good pair! [name_f][/name_f] [name_m]Trevor[/name_m] strikes me as more welsh than cowboy, and [name_m]Pierce[/name_m] makes me think of [name_f]England[/name_f] for some reason, so I think they pair well. [name_f][/name_f] I do think that stylistically, [name_m]Ronan[/name_m] and [name_m]Tristan[/name_m] pair a little better, but I like all three options! [name_f][/name_f] If not a first name, could you use [name_m]Trevor[/name_m] as a middle? [name_f][/name_f] [name_m]Like[/name_m] [name_m]Ronan[/name_m] [name_m]Trevor[/name_m]? [name_f][/name_f] I think he’d be very sweet with [name_m]Pierce[/name_m] [name_m]James[/name_m]!
I don’t think that [name_m]Trevor[/name_m] is a great fit with [name_m]Pierce[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- but your other names are great with it! I especially like [name_m]Tristan[/name_m], [name_m]Ronan[/name_m] and [name_m]Ashton[/name_m] with your son’s name (although if you’re worried about popularity, [name_m]Ashton[/name_m] is in the US top 200 at the moment).
[name_f]Lovely[/name_f] list! I especially like [name_m]Tristan[/name_m], [name_m]Ronan[/name_m] and [name_m]Emmett[/name_m] and think they all go well with [name_m]Pierce[/name_m].
[name_f][/name_f] I find it so fascinating how certain names skew totally differently in the states [name_f][/name_f]- it’s the same with [name_m]Graham[/name_m], he’s still trendy in the US I believe but in the UK he’s pure boomer middle manager type.
