Brother Names for Miriam

Boy Names
1

DH and I are planning on re-using our list of unused girl names if we end up with a girl, but the only boy names he likes, I hate ([name_m]Ulysses[/name_m], for example), and I am having trouble coming up with ideas I feel will fit with our daughter’s classic name.

Her name is [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] [name_f]Amaya[/name_f] and our last name is a two-syllable name starting with R and ending with a consonant.

Looking for ideas and suggestions, although no “[name_m]Aaron[/name_m]” or “[name_m]Moses[/name_m]”, please, it’s way too gimmicky for us. (Those are [name_f]Miriam[/name_f]'s brothers in the Bible.)

I think that [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] and [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] would work well as siblings! [name_m]Abel[/name_m] would be nice too.

[name_f]Miriam[/name_f] is such a sweet name! I’m totally on the same page as you, [name_m]Ulysses[/name_m] would be a HUGE no go for me too! :wink: What do you think of [name_m]Jacoby[/name_m]? I think [name_m]Jacoby[/name_m] and [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] make a darling sibset!

Suggestions:

[name_m]Abram[/name_m] - The ending may be too similar to [name_f]Miriam[/name_f]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m]
[name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] ‘[name_m]Zeke[/name_m]’
[name_m]Anthony[/name_m]
[name_m]Ignatius[/name_m]
[name_m]Josiah[/name_m]
[name_m]Tobias[/name_m]
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m]
[name_u]Roscoe[/name_u]
[name_m]Daniel[/name_m]
[name_m]Simon[/name_m]
[name_m]Victor[/name_m]
[name_m]Louis[/name_m]
[name_m]Jedediah[/name_m]
[name_m]Nathan[/name_m]
[name_m]David[/name_m]
[name_m]Judah[/name_m]
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m]
[name_m]Evander[/name_m]
[name_m]Lysander[/name_m]
[name_m]Walter[/name_m]
[name_m]Gregory[/name_m]

Like any of these?

Your daughter’s name is incredibly beautiful.

Congratulations!

I think any biblical name would fit well. To narrow it down more perhaps search for names with 3 syllables that have the same sort of usage as [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] in terms of popularity?

I think [name_m]Abel[/name_m] was a brilliant suggestion, just like [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] in that it’s credentials as a classic are impeccable, but is so underused it feels fresh
