Brothers

Sibling Names
#1

We have one son named [name]Henry[/name] [name]Matthew[/name] and are expecting his little brother shortly and would love your help! My husband and I both like [name]James[/name], [name]Thomas[/name], [name]Oliver[/name] and [name]Peter[/name]. I feel like [name]James[/name] and [name]Thomas[/name] are a little safe and while classics a little too popular (though it probably wouldn’t stop me from using them completely). Scared [name]Oliver[/name] is too “now” and also going to get very popular. I’d love to use [name]Theodore[/name] (nn [name]Theo[/name]), [name]Simon[/name] or something along that line but hubby has vetoed both.

I think we’ve decided on [name]Peter[/name] [name]Edward[/name]. [name]Love[/name] to hear your thoughts/suggestions! Thanks!

I think [name]Peter[/name] [name]Edward[/name] sounds great, and goes great with [name]Henry[/name] [name]Matthew[/name]!!

[name]James[/name] [name]Peter[/name] or [name]Oliver[/name] [name]James[/name] would be cute, too. I do like [name]Peter[/name] [name]Edward[/name]:slight_smile:

Of course I love [name]Peter[/name] [name]Edward[/name] because [name]Peter[/name] is my very fave boy’s name and [name]Edward[/name] is to die for, too. [name]Love[/name] [name]Peter[/name] [name]William[/name], [name]Peter[/name] [name]James[/name], and [name]Peter[/name] [name]Charles[/name], too.
We named our son [name]Peter[/name] [name]Sebastian[/name].
Also love [name]Peter[/name] [name]Andrew[/name].
My cousin [name]Peter[/name]'s name is [name]Peter[/name] [name]Dean[/name]. [name]Dean[/name] is a family name. [name]Peter[/name] goes with lots of names, so there might be a family name that you might like to use.

Thank you everyone for all your help/suggestions, great ideas, great lists!
We both love the suggestion [name]Calvin[/name] but are afraid that the inevitable nn [name]Cal[/name] (which I love) sounds awful with our last name. I’ve also definitely considered [name]Edward[/name] (nn [name]Ned[/name]) for a first name but can’t seem to sway my hubby.

[name]Edward[/name] and [name]Grant[/name] are both family names (as are [name]Dean[/name] and [name]Hagan[/name]) which we’ve tossed about for the middle name slot. At this point (still 5wks to go) we seem to be holding onto [name]Peter[/name] [name]Edward[/name]. Crossing my fingers we can avoid “[name]Pete[/name]” over this little ones life span :slight_smile: I think both [name]Henry[/name] and [name]Peter[/name] flow nicely with our possible girl choices ([name]Louisa[/name], [name]Cecilia[/name]/[name]Cecily[/name]) should we (again fingers crossed :slight_smile: have a girl down the road? What do you think?

I adore [name]Peter[/name] [name]Edward[/name].

You might like [name]Everett[/name], [name]Jacob[/name], [name]James[/name], [name]Jasper[/name], [name]Connor[/name] and [name]Colin[/name], too.

Good luck!

I love those names. Here are some other suggestions.
[name]Elliott[/name]
[name]Thaddeus[/name]

For what it’s worth, I know of a [name]Peter[/name] who was only called “[name]Peter[/name],” so I do think it’s possible to avoid “[name]Pete[/name].” :slight_smile: I think that [name]Peter[/name] and [name]Henry[/name] are great together, and I can definitely see them with the gorgeous [name]Louisa[/name] or [name]Cecilia[/name]/[name]Cecily[/name]! Definitely! :slight_smile:

Best wishes to you! :slight_smile:
