Can’t decide between 2 names

[name_u]Baby[/name_u] #2 is arriving in spring and we know we are having a boy. Our first kid is named [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] and goes by [name_u]Penny[/name_u]. We’ve struggled with boys names but I think we’ve narrowed down to two choices for baby boy. We like [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] and [name_u]Miles[/name_u]. Any thoughts on these or other name suggestions? Note that we have a last name that is VERY easy to make fun of and is strange. So we don’t like to have too wild of first names.

Congratulations☺️
Both are very nice names but [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] is what I’ll go for.
Also, other suggestions are ;

[name_m]Chazaiah[/name_m]
[name_u]Daryl[/name_u]
[name_m]Jadiel[/name_m]
[name_u]Shayne[/name_u]
[name_m]Zachary[/name_m]
[name_m]Zuriel[/name_m]

Both [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] and [name_u]Miles[/name_u] are great, but given the matchy ELL sounds in [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] and [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], I think [name_u]Miles[/name_u] works best. That being said, if [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] primarily goes by [name_u]Penny[/name_u], that might not be something you’re worried about.

I love [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] with [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]. If your open to using nicknames [name_u]Penny[/name_u] and [name_m]Leo[/name_m] would be adorable. Other nicknames for [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] include [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] and [name_u]Eli[/name_u] (thats all i can think of). I would suggest [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] and [name_m]Lorenzo[/name_m].

I love [name_u]Elliot[/name_u]!

I love [name_u]Miles[/name_u]! It works well with [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]!

I like both with [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], but I think [name_u]Miles[/name_u] goes a bit better. [name_u]Oliver[/name_u] is a favourite sibling of mine for [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], maybe you’d like that?

Miles and [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] are lovely!

My favorite for you is [name_u]Miles[/name_u]! It sounds amazing with [name_f]Penelope[/name_f].

I prefer [name_u]Elliot[/name_u]. And with a longer name like [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], I like that baby boy would have three syllables instead of one.

Elliott

Miles!

Penny and [name_u]Miles[/name_u]! …or
[name_u]Penny[/name_u] and [name_m]Niles[/name_m]!

Cute

Gosh, both go so well with your daughters’ name! I gotta go with [name_u]Elliott[/name_u], though.

They both sound great with [name_f]Penelope[/name_f].

Congratulations! Both [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] and [name_u]Miles[/name_u] are lovely names and go well with your daughter’s name, [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]. [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] is a gorgeous name, by the way!

I think [name_u]Miles[/name_u] works best with [name_f]Penelope[/name_f].

Both are lovely names and you really can’t go wrong, but with [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], “[name_u]Penny[/name_u]”, I prefer [name_u]Miles[/name_u].

Both are among my favorite boys’ names!
Is your last name anything that could possibly combine badly with [name_u]Miles[/name_u]. That would be my only mark against that choice. I think [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] and [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] sound sweet together, but they are kind of “sing-songy,” so that could be a mark in favor of [name_u]Miles[/name_u].
I’m no help, clearly, but I think you have two solid choices!

I like both but I think [name_u]Miles[/name_u] sounds the best with [name_f]Penelope[/name_f].
