I’m crazy…or my husband and I are both crazy. We have a had a name picked out since the beginning and now we are both questioning it. IF I started over from scratch, what would you suggest as a sibling for S@muel, [name_f]Esme[/name_f], and [name_u]Georgi[/name_u]@? This is most likely our last little guy. We had a name chosen for our second child also but changed it at the hospital (and we are SO glad we did because her name really fits her. I’m wondering if this is going to be the same situation.
Our top choices are: [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]/[name_u]Theo[/name_u] (Is this gaining popularity too quickly?) [name_m]Charles[/name_m]/[name_u]Charlie[/name_u] (friend’s baby), [name_u]Owen[/name_u] (again, maybe too popular since I know OF other kids (distantly) named [name_u]Owen[/name_u]). [name_u]Elias[/name_u]??
Open to other ideas!!! Thanks!
I agree with your analyses of your top options (except maybe the popularity of [name_u]Owen[/name_u]- I don’t think it’s a megastar like [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] and [name_u]Theo[/name_u]). As strangers we can just suggest names that have a pleasantly matchy vibe/sound with your other children… but I always think that if you have any associations, deeper meanings, namesakes, etc attached to a certain name that trumps all. I do like [name_u]Elias[/name_u], especially as a brother to [name_m]Samuel[/name_m], but it might be a bit similar to [name_f]Esme[/name_f]?
I love [name_m]Milo[/name_m] and [name_u]August[/name_u]…hubby won’t go for [name_m]Milo[/name_m] but he likes [name_m]Miles[/name_m]. [name_u]Gus[/name_u] would be an adorable nn I think. It may be a super star name before we know it also. I feel like boy names are so much harder than girls! Somewhere there must be a balance between blah (I’ve heard it a million times) and something that only mommy’s of our generation will think are cool. I don’t know why I can’t commit this time around. Hopefully, by the time we meet him!
I do think [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] would be a great fit, but I also agree that it’s verging on very popular.
Other ideas…
S@amuel, [name_f]Esme[/name_f], [name_u]Georgi[/name_u]@ and [name_u]Linden[/name_u]
S@amuel, [name_f]Esme[/name_f], [name_u]Georgi[/name_u]@ and [name_m]Barnaby[/name_m]
S@amuel, [name_f]Esme[/name_f], [name_u]Georgi[/name_u]@ and [name_m]Caspar[/name_m]
S@amuel, [name_f]Esme[/name_f], [name_u]Georgi[/name_u]@ and [name_m]Duncan[/name_m]
S@amuel, [name_f]Esme[/name_f], [name_u]Georgi[/name_u]@ and [name_u]Flynn[/name_u]
S@amuel, [name_f]Esme[/name_f], [name_u]Georgi[/name_u]@ and [name_m]Tobias[/name_m]
S@amuel, [name_f]Esme[/name_f], [name_u]Georgi[/name_u]@ and [name_m]Adam[/name_m]
S@amuel, [name_f]Esme[/name_f], [name_u]Georgi[/name_u]@ and [name_m]Quinlan[/name_m]
S@amuel, [name_f]Esme[/name_f], [name_u]Georgi[/name_u]@ and [name_m]Isaac[/name_m]
S@amuel, [name_f]Esme[/name_f], [name_u]Georgi[/name_u]@ and [name_u]Jude[/name_u]
I really like [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]/[name_u]Theo[/name_u] with the other names. It’s not so popular here, but of course name popularity can be regional. I hear [name_u]Owen[/name_u] and [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] a lot! I love [name_u]Elias[/name_u], but I am biased as that is my DS’s mn, I think it could work since the E sound is different than your daughters E.
I agree that boys names are hard. I am having DS2 in less than a month and still thinking of names, hehe.
Some suggestions for you based off your naming style:
[name_m]Joseph[/name_m]
[name_u]Francis[/name_u]
[name_m]Ronan[/name_m]
[name_m]Louis[/name_m]
[name_m]Nolan[/name_m]
[name_m]Dominic[/name_m]
