Boy Names

I would really appreciate your feedback on some name combinations I’m considering. Sisters are [name]Raphaela[/name] [name]Helene[/name] and [name]Isabelle[/name] [name]Margaret[/name]. Brothers all have old testament origin names ([name]Daniel[/name] [name]David[/name], [name]Benjamin[/name] [name]John[/name], [name]Elijah[/name] [name]Steele[/name]). Last name sounds like uh-mah-toh (Italian, 3 syllables. My husband wants to give this baby his first name, [name]David[/name], which I’ve kinda-sort of-reluctantly agreed to under the condition that the baby will be called by his second name. We are also looking at giving a second middle name to honor my [name]MIL[/name]'s side of the family (with either [name]Sanders[/name] or [name]William[/name]) or to use family name, Bennion, from my side. Complicated, I know. You can see from the list that [name]Gideon[/name] is a strong front runner for me. Here are the possibilities so far. Please give me any suggestions or opinions you have.

[name]David[/name] [name]Gideon[/name] [name]Sanders[/name]
[name]David[/name] [name]Michael[/name] [name]Sanders[/name] (nn [name]Misha[/name])
[name]David[/name] Alesssandro
[name]David[/name] [name]William[/name] Bennion
[name]David[/name] [name]Mateo[/name] [name]Sanders[/name]
[name]David[/name] [name]Abram[/name] [name]Sanders[/name]
[name]David[/name] [name]Joshua[/name] [name]Sanders[/name]
[name]David[/name] [name]Marco[/name] [name]Sanders[/name]
[name]David[/name] [name]William[/name] (nn [name]Will[/name] or [name]Liam[/name])
[name]David[/name] [name]Lorenzo[/name]
[name]David[/name] [name]Joaquin[/name]

Or if we can agree to drop [name]David[/name] as a first name…
[name]Gideon[/name] [name]Sanders[/name]
[name]Gideon[/name] Bennion
[name]Gideon[/name] [name]Michael[/name] or [name]Michael[/name] [name]Gideon[/name]
[name]Gideon[/name] [name]Silas[/name]
[name]William[/name] Bennion [name]Sanders[/name] (I’m not crazy about BS as middle initials)

Thanks for your help!

Thank you for the feedback. You make some really good points. What does “nms” mean?

I think [name]Gideon[/name] just flows better with your daughters’ names, plus it has more personality (to me). I like [name]Gideon[/name] [name]Silas[/name].

5

I like [name]Gideon[/name] [name]Sanders[/name] or [name]Gideon[/name] [name]Silas[/name] best.

6

[name]David[/name] [name]William[/name] or [name]David[/name] [name]Lorenzo[/name] sound so lovely… [name]William[/name] seems more classical to me, while (if you’re after that romantic Italian sound) [name]Lorenzo[/name] fits beautifully, making the name sound like music!

7

[name]Gideon[/name] [name]Michael[/name] is my favorite but several of your [name]David[/name] options are usable. I prefer something a little more unusual than [name]David[/name] but it is still a nice name.

8

I have a soft spot for the name [name]David[/name]. :slight_smile: I personally think it is a great name. Anyway, I vote for [name]David[/name] [name]Gideon[/name] [name]Sanders[/name]. (Your children all have lovely names.) Good luck!

I like the above suggestion of both [name]Jude[/name] and [name]Samuel[/name]. I like the name [name]David[/name], and there is a bit much, but I’m not a fan of [name]Gideon[/name].

My favorite of your combos is [name]David[/name] [name]Michael[/name] [name]Sanders[/name], and I like nickname [name]Misha[/name], though I’d prefer the slightly more masculine [name]Mischa[/name].

Oooh I love [name]Gideon[/name]. I think you should skip re-using [name]David[/name] and stick to only one middle name. [name]Gideon[/name] [name]Michael[/name], or [name]Michael[/name] [name]Gideon[/name] sound great with the other boys’ names! (Also, as you asked earlier ‘nms’ means ‘not my style’). Great choices, good luck. =]
