Can someone please help us figure out a happy medium between our tastes?

Boy Names
1

My husband and I are pregnant with our second child. I feel like it’s a boy, at our 12 week U/S the tech said she absolutely was not sure but she thought she may have seen a little peen, and we can’t agree on boy names. For a girl, we almost immediately decided on [name_m]Charleston[/name_m] [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f] ([name_u]Charlie[/name_u] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]). We have a three year old daughter named [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u]. My biggest regret with naming [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] is the fact that it is so prominent now, so we don’t want to make that mistake again.
Names I like, but he does not: [name_m]Killian[/name_m], [name_m]Beckett[/name_m], Fender, [name_m]Riordan[/name_m], [name_m]Ronan[/name_m], [name_u]Rowan[/name_u], [name_m]Breccan[/name_m], [name_u]Kieran[/name_u], [name_u]Brennan[/name_u], [name_m]Thomas[/name_m], [name_u]Lyric[/name_u]. I also really enjoy traditional Irish names like Ciobhann and [name_m]Eoghan[/name_m], but he despises them.

Names he likes, but I don’t: [name_m]Asher[/name_m], [name_u]Finn[/name_u], [name_m]Bennett[/name_m], [name_m]Axel[/name_m]

Names we agree we both like:
[ ] [name_u]Flynn[/name_u]
[ ] [name_u]Tristan[/name_u]
[ ] [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u]
[ ] [name_u]Keagan[/name_u]
[ ] [name_m]Ryder[/name_m]
We like, as middle names only, [name_u]James[/name_u], [name_u]Dean[/name_u], [name_u]Henley[/name_u], and [name_u]Elliot[/name_u]. We both very much love [name_m]Finnick[/name_m], but are afraid too many people will tie it to the Hunger Games.
We do each, respectively, like Fender and [name_m]Axel[/name_m] but can’t imagine naming our kid that. :wink: help? I’m hoping there’s a name out there we haven’t found yet that meets both of our tastes!

Being that you both like [name_m]Axel[/name_m] but don’t plan to use it, I would suggest [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] as I think it would be a nice choice.

I think [name_m]Charleston[/name_m] would make a good boys name

IDEAS:
[name_m]Kellen[/name_m]
[name_m]Brandt[/name_m]
[name_m]Roderick[/name_m]
[name_m]Keane[/name_m]
[name_u]Tate[/name_u]
[name_u]Hudson[/name_u]
[name_m]Declan[/name_m]
[name_u]Ellis[/name_u]
[name_m]Kyler[/name_m]

Some suggestions…

[name_m]Brooks[/name_m]
[name_u]Finley[/name_u]
[name_u]Everett[/name_u]
[name_m]Amias[/name_m]
[name_u]Emerson[/name_u]
[name_m]Odin[/name_m]

I agree with the above poster. Why not use [name_m]Charleston[/name_m]? (or even simply charles which stylistically would be great with your daughters name)

[name_m]Charleston[/name_m] [name_m]Finnick[/name_m]
[name_m]Charles[/name_m] [name_m]Finnick[/name_m]

[name_u]Keagan[/name_u] [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] or [name_u]Tristan[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] would also be nice.

I recently discovered that [name_u]Rex[/name_u] is a nick name for [name_m]Reginald[/name_m]. [name_u]Rex[/name_u] ([name_m]Reginald[/name_m]) [name_u]James[/name_u] would be a nice combo and a great way to give your kid an edgy first name while giving him a formal option.

Please abandon Fender… Fender Bender… Offender … Too many negative associations.
