My husband and I are expecting baby #3 in August. We have a little boy called [name_m]Roman[/name_m] who’s 6 and a half and a little girl called [name_f]Maya[/name_f] who just turned 3. We know it’s going to be a boy, and we’re having a hard time finding a name that fits both Roman and Maya.
My husband loves the name [name_m]Enzo[/name_m], but I’m not 100% sure about it.
I love the name [name_m]Matteo[/name_m], but my sister-in-law named her daughter [name_f]Thea[/name_f], and I think it sounds too familiar.
I also liked [name_m]Henry[/name_m], but our last name is Harding and I don’t think it matches well.
Firstly, I don’t feel like [name_m]Matteo[/name_m] & [name_f]Thea[/name_f] are too similar, though I suppose it does depend on how they are being pronounced. I’m saying mat-TEH-oh, and THEE-uh, so no repetition or anything there at all. [name_m]Matteo[/name_m] is lovely, and would be a great addition to [name_m]Roman[/name_m] & [name_f]Maya[/name_f]. I also actually quite like the alliteration of [name_u]Henry[/name_u] [name_m]Harding[/name_m] and think it could work well.
[name_m]Matteo[/name_m] doesn’t seem too close to [name_f]Thea[/name_f] at all! If anything [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] would seem closer.
The strong -m in [name_m]Roman[/name_m] and [name_f]Maya[/name_f] makes me lean towards [name_m]Matteo[/name_m] for #3, but [name_m]Enzo[/name_m] would also be sweet! I think [name_u]Henry[/name_u] [name_m]Harding[/name_m] is alliterative with the repeated h-r but doable.
Other names for [name_m]Roman[/name_m] and Maya’s brother:
[name_m]Adam[/name_m]
[name_u]Jameson[/name_u]
[name_m]Xavier[/name_m]
[name_u]Beckett[/name_u]
[name_m]Caleb[/name_m]
I think, from your list, that [name_m]Enzo[/name_m] sounds most like the brother to [name_m]Roman[/name_m] & [name_f]Maya[/name_f]. I love [name_u]Henry[/name_u], but it doesn’t feel like it fits with the others.
[name_m]Enzo[/name_m] and [name_u]Henry[/name_u] are handsome. How about [name_u]Ezra[/name_u]? [name_u]Ezra[/name_u] would be super nice with [name_m]Roman[/name_m] and [name_f]Maya[/name_f]. Not the biggest fan of [name_m]Matteo[/name_m], but its not too similar to [name_f]Thea[/name_f] imo.
I adore [name_m]Roman[/name_m] and [name_f]Maya[/name_f], separately and together! I like [name_m]Enzo[/name_m] and [name_u]Henry[/name_u] with your kids’ names, and [name_m]Matteo[/name_m], but if these aren’t right for one reason or another then how about:
I think my favourites with [name_m]Roman[/name_m] and [name_f]Maya[/name_f] are [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] and [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m], because I like the M in each name (I think it creates quite a nice, subtle theme), and also Sebastian/Bastian, [name_u]Atlas[/name_u], [name_m]Caspar[/name_m], [name_m]Lucien[/name_m], [name_u]August[/name_u] & [name_m]Phineas[/name_m].
I do like the repeating of the M in the names, but [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] reminds me of The Fairly OddParents. If you have any other suggestions with an M, that would be great.
I like @Sunniva suggestion of [name_m]Emrys[/name_m]. [name_m]Roman[/name_m], [name_f]Maya[/name_f] and [name_m]Emrys[/name_m] make a lovely sibling set! [name_m]Dominic[/name_m] also suits [name_m]Roman[/name_m] & [name_f]Maya[/name_f].
[name_m]Malachi[/name_m] and [name_m]Maxim[/name_m] are great too but I don’t generally love repeated initials; if you don’t mind though then I think they’re fantastic.
Otherwise, how about:
[name_m]Edmund[/name_m]
[name_m]Amadeus[/name_m]
[name_u]Jem[/name_u]
Arnhem
[name_u]Remy[/name_u] (perhaps not ideal considering it starts with R)
[name_m]Amias[/name_m]
[name_u]Emerson[/name_u]
Hmm, that was harder than I thought. I can’t really think of any others beyond the ones already mentioned by @sunniva!
In my opinion [name_m]Roman[/name_m], [name_f]Maya[/name_f], and [name_m]Enzo[/name_m] is actually a very cohesive set. I’ve thought the name [name_m]Enzo[/name_m] and names like it such as [name_m]Renzo[/name_m], [name_m]Enzio[/name_m], and [name_m]Ezio[/name_m] are very handsome
[name_m]Jorge[/name_m] (based off the other children you named I would guess you had a latin background? or at the very least romance speaking)

I love the sound of [name_u]Henry[/name_u] [name_m]Harding[/name_m]! I’m not a personal fan of [name_m]Enzo[/name_m] or [name_m]Matteo[/name_m], but I think both work well with [name_m]Roman[/name_m] and [name_f]Maya[/name_f] and are not too close to [name_f]Thea[/name_f]. (Also because [name_m]Roman[/name_m] and [name_f]Maya[/name_f] are ancient civilizations, I tried to find some names that played into that subtle theme)

[name_m]Roman[/name_m] & [name_f]Maya[/name_f] are great together! [name_f]My[/name_f] first thoughts were [name_u]Maxwell[/name_u] and [name_u]Julian[/name_u]. [name_m]Enzo[/name_m] isn’t bad, but feels very decidedly Italian, whereas [name_m]Roman[/name_m] and [name_f]Maya[/name_f] feel more international.
[name_u]Maxwell[/name_u] [name_u]Henry[/name_u] or [name_u]Julian[/name_u] [name_u]Henry[/name_u] would be great!
