[name]Hi[/name]! I need some help! I’m having a second son in a few months and I’m having a hard time choosing a name for this little guy. Our first son has a big name, [name]Lachlan[/name] [name]Finn[/name]. We are very active outdoors people, but I don’t want to name my child something like [name]River[/name], [name]Stone[/name], etc. While they are nice names, we prefer more established, solid sounding names with some history behind them. We travel often, and [name]Lachlan[/name] was named after a friend in Australia. We live on an island and this little guy will likely grow up in the ocean, surfing, fishing, sailing, etc. We would like this name to sound: masculine, adventurous, strong, fun loving, and global. [name]Lachlan[/name] is a Scottish name, but very popular in Australia and [name]New[/name] Zealand, not so much so in the USA. We would love another name that is not popular in the USA, but not totally out there odd sounding. We have a very basic, short last name.
Wow! Wherever you live, it sounds amazing :).
I like [name]Lachlan[/name] and [name]Rowan[/name], [name]Lachlan[/name] and [name]Weston[/name], and [name]Lachlan[/name] and [name]Callum[/name] from your list; they sound like what you are looking for. What about:
[name]Lachlan[/name] and [name]Rhett[/name]
[name]Lachlan[/name] and [name]Cooper[/name]
[name]Lachlan[/name] and [name]Rhys[/name]
[name]Lachlan[/name] and [name]Evan[/name]
[name]Lachlan[/name] and [name]Colton[/name]
[name]Lachlan[/name] and [name]Damian[/name]/[name]Darian[/name]
[name]Callum[/name] is also my favorite of the names you are considering! It sounds the most like the active sporty little boy you describe and yet is a very historic name. [name]Lachlan[/name] & [name]Callum[/name] are perfect as siblings. I like : [name]Callum[/name] [name]Weston[/name] to go with [name]Lachlan[/name] [name]Finn[/name].
[name]Rowan[/name] - is also a great name, although I tend to shy away from rhyming sibling names, that’s just me.
[name]Connor[/name]/[name]Conor[/name] - is not as fresh. It seems slightly dated or too common.
[name]Sawyer[/name] - seems a little trendier or lacking in history.
[name]Alistair[/name] - definitely has the Scottish flair but to me it sounds like a more bookish little character.
[name]Weston[/name] - is cute; a bit trendier and rhymes but I can totally picture it on a little surfer dude. So would be my 2nd choice.
[name]Hi[/name]! I too am expecting my 2nd boy and struggling with his name. My husband and I have different tastes which makes it difficult. I just wanted to share that my first son is named [name]Remy[/name] and it couldn’t be more perfect for him. It is of french origin, and seems fun and adventurous to me.
I love traveling as well and spent 5 months in [name]New[/name] Zealand back when I was young and single.
I agree with many of the other posts that [name]Callum[/name] is a great fit, and I really love [name]Sawyer[/name]. Best of luck to you!!!
We also love [name]Lachlan[/name], so maybe you’d like some of our other favorites?
[name]Evander[/name]
[name]Theron[/name]
[name]Xavier[/name]
[name]Alexander[/name]
[name]Oberon[/name]
[name]Cadmus[/name]
[name]Thatcher[/name]
[name]Adair[/name]
[name]Alasdair[/name]
[name]Dresden[/name]
[name]Luca[/name]
[name]Decimus[/name]
[name]Cadell[/name]
[name]Rafferty[/name]
[name]Harrison[/name]
[name]Declan[/name] (too close for a sibling unfortunately!)
I like [name]Callum[/name] the best, it was the first name I thought of while reading your criteria before I saw the list you gave.
It has a subtle nature meaning “dove”, It’s not popular at all in the USA, its #847.
[name]Rowan[/name]- very unisex in the USA, but it’s a nice name
[name]Conor[/name]- one of my favorite boy’s names (my favorite spelling is [name]Conner[/name])
[name]Sawyer[/name]- Its a nice name, but if you don’t want it to be too popular, I’d stay away from this one
[name]Alistair[/name]- for some reason, I have never seen the appeal with this name
[name]Weston[/name]- don’t mind it, I prefer [name]Easton[/name] though
[name]Callum[/name]- see previous thoughts on this name
some suggestions:
[name]Dylan[/name]- popular in the USA, but has a meaning I thought fit for you: son of the sea
[name]Conrad[/name]- nice name, not too popular
[name]Evan[/name]
[name]Kai[/name]
Ok I love the name [name]Conor[/name] and I also love [name]Weston[/name]. [name]Callum[/name] isn’t popular and would go well too but I like the [name]Conor[/name] or [name]Weston[/name] better.
Well, I know baby boys named [name]Lachlan[/name] and [name]Rowan[/name], so I am bit biased there. Great names! I also love [name]Callum[/name], it is definitely underused.
[name]West[/name] is awesome, but I don’t love [name]Weston[/name]. I know a lot of boy names end in N, so it is tough to chose another that doesn’t start with an N, but boy sibsets that all end in N is a pet peeve of mine. I have a friend with boys named [name]Logan[/name], [name]Dylan[/name] and Aaeden,
Based on that, I think you should go with [name]Sawyer[/name] or [name]Alistair[/name]. Or maybe you would like one of these names:
[name]Asher[/name], [name]Evander[/name], [name]Leander[/name], [name]Lysander[/name], [name]Malcolm[/name], [name]Rory[/name], [name]Desmond[/name], [name]Felix[/name], [name]Niall[/name] ([name]Nile[/name]), [name]Montgomery[/name] ([name]Monty[/name]), [name]Rafferty[/name], [name]Willoughby[/name], [name]Barnaby[/name], [name]Bertram[/name], [name]Abraham[/name]/[name]Abram[/name]/[name]Bram[/name]?
[name]Callum[/name] fits perfectly with [name]Lachlan[/name], love both names.
Others which sound good to me are:
[name]Lachlan[/name] and [name]Walker[/name]
[name]Lachlan[/name] and [name]Rory[/name]
[name]Lachlan[/name] and [name]Gareth[/name]
[name]Lachlan[/name] and [name]Fraser[/name]
[name]Lachlan[/name] and [name]Brodie[/name]
[name]Lachlan[/name] and [name]Ewan[/name]
[name]Lachlan[/name] and [name]Harris[/name]
I love your style! [name]Lachlan[/name] is great! [name]Alistair[/name] is my favorite from your list, but doesn’t feel outdoorsy. [name]May[/name] I recommend [name]Eamon[/name]? It’s a great name and so handsome. [name]Lachlan[/name] and [name]Eamon[/name] really mesh well in my head. I also love [name]Weston[/name]. I think I like [name]Weston[/name] better, but [name]Westcott[/name] or Wescott is a similar idea but a bit more unusual. Could be cumbersome though. Or try Aidric/k, [name]Graham[/name], [name]Sterling[/name], [name]Sylvan[/name], [name]Quentin[/name], or [name]Adrian[/name]. [name]Sylvan[/name] is an especially outdoorsy name. I love the meaning, but it’s subtle. And yet obvious. It’s an adjective that has gone out of use, but it literally means foresty.
I think [name]Alistair[/name] goes great with [name]Lachlan[/name]. I also like [name]Callum[/name].
Names that are adventurous and fun (in my opinion):
[name]Collin[/name]
[name]Tavish[/name]
[name]Camden[/name]
[name]Tiernan[/name]
[name]Cormac[/name]
[name]Fergus[/name]
[name]Teague[/name]
[name]Kieran[/name]
[name]Morgan[/name]
[name]Sullivan[/name]
[name]Riordan[/name] (although I can see pronunciation problems with this one)
I like [name]Callum[/name] & [name]Alistair[/name] best from your list.
I like [name]Alistair[/name] because of it’s meaning (I did name my DS [name]Alexander[/name] after all) & it goes well with [name]Lachlan[/name] since it’s Scottish. For som reason, [name]Callum[/name] feels Scottish to me & I like it’s meaning too.
I love [name]Alister[/name] and my outdoorsy, clever cousin is named [name]Alistair[/name], and [name]Lachlan[/name] is one of my favourite names with a middle name of [name]Grant[/name]. [name]Miles[/name] is also a very good match with [name]Lachlan[/name].
WOW! THANK YOU! This was such a fun surprise to wake up to All of your suggestions are wonderful! This forum has helped me far more than the countless hours searching online. [name]Just[/name] to limit out some of the names, our last name starts with S so I’d prefer not to have a name that starts with S or ends with S. I just don’t like how that sounds. Also, I now agree, after reading these posts that matchy names that rhyme aren’t really my style either - I was totally missing this. So I think out goes most of the options than end in -an or -on. So I pulled a few more from your suggestions that I seriously am considering, thank you all so very much!
I added:
[name]West[/name]
[name]Ronan[/name]
[name]Matteo[/name]
[name]Darian[/name]
[name]Porter[/name]
[name]Brodie[/name]
[name]Eamon[/name]
I think so far the tops from your advice and our own thoughts are now: [name]Callum[/name] or [name]Calum[/name], [name]Weston[/name] “[name]West[/name]”, and possibly [name]Connor[/name] or [name]Alistair[/name].
[name]West[/name]- stick to [name]Weston[/name] and use this a nn lol
[name]Ronan[/name]- love this, and works well with [name]Lachlan[/name]
[name]Matteo[/name]- nms
[name]Darian[/name]- not my style, I prefer [name]Damian[/name]
[name]Porter[/name]- one of my favourites, so yes
[name]Brodie[/name]- yep, nice name
[name]Eamon[/name]- nope sorry (pronunciation problems with this one)
my top picks from your list (in order)
[name]Callum[/name]
[name]Connor[/name]
[name]Porter[/name]
[name]Ronan[/name]
[name]Lachlan[/name] is great! I like [name]Lachlan[/name] and [name]Alistair[/name] together.
[name]Favorite[/name] combinations:
[name]Alistair[/name] [name]West[/name] or [name]Alistair[/name] [name]Weston[/name]
[name]Alistair[/name] [name]Ronan[/name]
[name]Ronan[/name] [name]Alistair[/name] or [name]Weston[/name] [name]Alastair[/name]
[name]Connor[/name] is a Celtic name I hear all the time, like [name]Liam[/name].
[name]Callum[/name] makes me think of Gollum.
[name]Matteo[/name] has a lovely sound, but it’s decidedly Italian.
[name]Darian[/name]- could be nice as a middle but doesn’t immediately thrill me.
[name]Porter[/name]- someone who carries suitcases.
[name]Brodie[/name]- Cute, but a real “dude” name. Skateboarder.
[name]Eamon[/name]- I like this one, especially with this spelling. Maybe [name]Eamon[/name] [name]West[/name] (though it sounds like “aiming west”) or [name]Eamon[/name] [name]Alistair[/name]
