Ok Berries. Last time I posted I had a top ten. Now we are now narrowing it down and want your thoughts! Siblings are Griffyn and [name_f]Azalia[/name_f]. Last name is two syllable and starts with H. [name_u]Baby[/name_u] is due in [name_u]December[/name_u].
First names we like:
[name_m]Caspian[/name_m] (love the name [name_m]Caspian[/name_m], worried about it being too associated with [name_f]Narnia[/name_f])
[name_m]Torquil[/name_m] (lovely mix of mythology, and both scottish and scandinavian like DH)
Hawkley (loved this name for a while, worried about the double H - first name and last name)
[name_u]Darcy[/name_u] (what can I say. DH and I both love Pride & Prejudice, way more “normal” than our other pics)
Middle names we like:
[name_m]Leonardo[/name_m] (family significance)
[name_m]Fitzwilliam[/name_m] (yes more Pride and prejudice)
[name_m]Granville[/name_m] (place significance for us)
[name_m]Lynx[/name_m] (northern theme)
Combos we are considering:
[name_m]Caspian[/name_m] [name_m]Leonardo[/name_m] (I also loved [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] [name_m]Fitzwilliam[/name_m] but I think that’s a little too much literary onus to place on a kid)
[name_u]Darcy[/name_u] [name_m]Granville[/name_m] (That’s a lot of two-syllables in a row and also possibly too much “english name from a french place”)
[name_m]Torquil[/name_m] [name_m]Fitzwilliam[/name_m] (I think [name_m]Torquil[/name_m] needs an easier possibly one syllable middle like [name_m]Torquil[/name_m] [name_u]Jay[/name_u])
Hawkley ???
Thoughts on the above combos? Any ideas for, especially middle names, that go with our top first name pics? I’d love either 1 syllable or 3 or 4 syllable suggestions. Preferably something to do with arts/literature, nature, northern names and spanish names.
Congratulations.
Griffyn and Azalia are great names.
Combos we are considering:
[name_m]Caspian[/name_m] [name_m]Leonardo[/name_m] is a great name. I prefer it over Caspian Fitzwilliam sound wise alone.
[name_u]Darcy[/name_u] [name_m]Granville[/name_m] hmm I don’t love it but it’s ok. Darcy Lynx is kinda cool but maybe a bit too unisex?
[name_m]Torquil[/name_m] Fitzwilliam is my faveriot of your combos. I actually think a one mn takes away some of Torquils flair… Guess it depends on what you used though. Torquil Hawke? Torquil Fitz? Torquil Lynx? I still prefer Torquil Fitzwilliam
Hawkley. I don’t love this name sorry. Although Hawkley Granville could work? I don’t mind the 2 , 2, 2 syllable flow with some names. I think it depends on where in the name each stress is? Hawkley North?
I love [name_m]Caspian[/name_m]. I have to laugh that you said you ruled [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] [name_m]Fitzwilliam[/name_m] out because after reading your first and middle names that was the combination that sprang to my mind. It is a little literary heavy though.
While not a huge fan of Hawkley (I personally prefer [name_m]Hawthorne[/name_m]), I think it sounds great with Griffyn and [name_f]Azalia[/name_f]. I wouldn’t be worried about the double H thing at all. Hawkley [name_m]Granville[/name_m] sounds great.
[name_m]Caspian[/name_m] is the other one that I think works well with your other children. Yes, people will think of [name_f]Narnia[/name_f], but the stories and that character are so beloved that it shouldn’t be seen as a bad thing. Most people will probably just think it’s really cool. [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] [name_m]Leonardo[/name_m] and [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] [name_m]Granville[/name_m] are both good combinations.
Thanks everyone! I really appreciate the comments! I am pleasantly surprised that people like [name_m]Torquil[/name_m] [name_m]Fitzwilliam[/name_m] as [name_m]Torquil[/name_m] is DH’s favourite right now. I think I’m leaning more towards [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] [name_m]Leonardo[/name_m]. But I’m happy with both, I just wish I knew which one was “the one”. By the way, I loved the [name_m]Hawthorne[/name_m] suggestion but DH didn’t go for it :-(.
