Brother for Rhodes Levi?

[name]Hi[/name], Im new to nameberry and I’m pregnant with my second child, we don’t know the gender yet but we’re looking into names anyway because we want to decide on one as quickly as possible! We left it too long with our son and it ended up becoming quite stressful!

Anyway, our 18 month old son is [name]Rhodes[/name] [name]Levi[/name] - ([name]Levi[/name] after my mother, it was her maiden name.)

If it’s a boy - we’ve decided on the middle name [name]Fox[/name], after DH’s grandfather who passed away last year (his middle name was [name]Fox[/name])

We have no idea for first names at all - I gave DH a list of some names I like and he vetoed most of them, and we’re left with:

[name]Arlo[/name] - I like it but not sure if it ‘goes’ with [name]Rhodes[/name] + it just doesn’t feel like the one.
[name]Monroe[/name] - with [name]Rhodes[/name] it makes the sibset feel ‘[name]Ro[/name]’ heavy, i dont know…
[name]Sailor[/name] - i like it but not brave enough to use it…
[name]Nash[/name] - doesnt really go with our surname or the MN but I do like it

So… any suggestions? :slight_smile:

It seems that you like more unusual names. The one that came to mind when reading your post was [name]Maverick[/name]. A few more suggestions:
[name]Declan[/name]
[name]Boden[/name]
[name]Pilot[/name]
[name]Miller[/name]
[name]Asa[/name]
[name]Callum[/name]
[name]Sullivan[/name]

Good luck!

[name]Lennox[/name]
[name]Bertram[/name]
[name]Price[/name]

[name]Preston[/name] [name]Fox[/name]
[name]Oliver[/name] [name]Fox[/name]
[name]Jonah[/name] [name]Fox[/name]
[name]Callum[/name] [name]Fox[/name]

[name]Just[/name] some ideas for boy names with [name]Fox[/name] as middle and I believe that they all go well with [name]Rhodes[/name].

[name]Rhodes[/name] [name]Levi[/name] is a very interesting and distinctive name. [name]Fox[/name] is loads of fun, in addition to honoring baby’s deceased great-grandfather.

As for your choices, I think [name]Arlo[/name] & [name]Monroe[/name] are too close to [name]Rhodes[/name]. You clearly like that long -oh- sound, but coupled with an R in front it’s just too similar.

[name]Sailor[/name] is a little downmarket compared to [name]Rhodes[/name]; they feel very mismatched. And while [name]Nash[/name] is fun, it doesn’t work with another monosyllabic name ([name]Nash[/name] [name]Fox[/name] sounds very choppy).

Here are some other names with that long O, in the same style as [name]Rhodes[/name]. Some are Italian, which to my ear sound sleek and interesting, but if you don’t care for them, ignore! I put stars next to my favorites:

[name]Apollo[/name]
[name]Benno[/name] (a medieval name related to bears)
[name]Tobias[/name]** [love [name]Tobias[/name] [name]Fox[/name]]
[name]Cosmo[/name]
[name]Dorian[/name]*
[name]Enzo[/name]
[name]Florian[/name]* (love the alliteration: [name]Florian[/name] [name]Fox[/name])
[name]Giorgio[/name]
[name]Holden[/name]
[name]Homer[/name]
[name]Horatio[/name]
[name]Inigo[/name]** (like the architect, [name]Inigo[/name] [name]Jones[/name]. [name]Inigo[/name] [name]Fox[/name] = awesome)
[name]Jerome[/name]
[name]Jonas[/name]** ([name]Jonas[/name] [name]Fox[/name])
[name]Lionel[/name]** ([name]Lionel[/name] [name]Fox[/name])
[name]Marco[/name]
[name]Milo[/name]
[name]Orlando[/name]** (so romantic-- [name]Orlando[/name] [name]Fox[/name])
[name]Owen[/name]
[name]Sergio[/name]* (continental cool- [name]Sergio[/name] [name]Fox[/name])
[name]Theodore[/name]
[name]Torin[/name]** ([name]Torin[/name] [name]Fox[/name])
[name]Winslow[/name]** (best match for [name]Rhodes[/name], as it’s a surname, but not too similar. Like [name]Winslow[/name] [name]Fox[/name].)

Wow, theres some great names here! I really like most of them, you’ve all spoilt me for choice now!

I love:
[name]Boden[/name]
[name]Miller[/name]
[name]Lennox[/name]
[name]Apollo[/name]
[name]Tobias[/name]
[name]Cosmo[/name]
[name]Inigo[/name]
[name]Lionel[/name]
[name]Orlando[/name]
[name]Torin[/name]
[name]Winslow[/name]

(faves are bolded!)
