[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there!
I’m posting this on behalf of my [name_m]SIL[/name_m] and brother. They have a 1.5-year-old son and are expecting another little boy this fall.
They absolutely fell in love with the name [name_u]Remington[/name_u] ([name_u]Remy[/name_u] for short) and like the fact that it sounds kind of classic/distinguished, yet has a cute nickname (maybe not a super important characteristic, necessarily). It’s not horribly stuffy or weird, but definitely sophisticated and somewhat unique. His middle name is [name_m]Robert[/name_m], which is a family name and goes well with his first.
They have a few names they like for baby #2, but nothing that feels like “the one”, the way they felt about [name_u]Remington[/name_u].
These names aren’t necessarily like by both of them, but here are some that were discussed:
[name_m]Alexander[/name_m] (too common perhaps)
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m] ([name_u]Olly[/name_u]) (GOT ruined it for my brother)
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] ([name_u]Theo[/name_u])
[name_m]William[/name_m] ([name_m]SIL[/name_m] likes)
[name_m]Verner[/name_m] (I’m not sure if he was joking, but we’re [name_m]German[/name_m] and my brother digs [name_m]German[/name_m] stuff)
Last name rhymes with Pot.
They’d appreciate any ideas for a special name for baby #2!
