Critique our Names!

[Namenerd22]

Due in [name_m]August[/name_m] and trying to figure out which name is best for our [name_f]Baby[/name_f] [name_m]Boy[/name_m]. Older siblings are [name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f] and [name_m]Duncan[/name_m] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]. What’s your impression of these names? Which of these names is your fav?

[name_m]Simeon[/name_m] [name_m]Rex[/name_m]
[name_m]Baxter[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m]
[name_m]Silas[/name_m] [name_m]Rex[/name_m]
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Rex[/name_m]
[name_m]Leland[/name_m] [name_m]Rex[/name_m]
[name_m]Roger[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m]
[name_m]Bridger[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Rex[/name_m]
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m]
[name_m]Russell[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m]

[name_f]Florence[/name_f] & [name_m]Duncan[/name_m] are so lovely together! They feel on-trend but also warm and familiar, and not too expected. I think a third sibling with a similar feel would be lovely!

While I do like [name_m]Leland[/name_m] and [name_m]Bridger[/name_m], they almost feel a bit out of place next to the much more vintage [name_f]Florence[/name_f]? So they’re the two that I’d automatically exclude if this was me making this decision.

I think my favourite is [name_m]Simeon[/name_m]! It’s timeless but the fun -eon ending makes it feel like a more fun and brave twist on [name_m]Simon[/name_m], making it perfect with both [name_f]Florence[/name_f] & [name_m]Duncan[/name_m]! And I just think it’s really handsome, with lovely nicknames. [name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Rex[/name_m] is a very cool combo as well, and [name_m]Roger[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m] is darling. Those would be my three favourites!

[PeachyMum]

[name_m]Simeon[/name_m] [name_m]Rex[/name_m] - I love this. [name_m]Simeon[/name_m] has been a long time favourite of mine, it’s classic yet has a flare to it. I really like it with [name_m]Rex[/name_m].

[name_m]Baxter[/name_m] [name_m]Rex[/name_m] - personally not keen on this, it feels little heavy to say IMO.

[name_m]Silas[/name_m] [name_m]Rex[/name_m] - I quite like this but for some reason this feels very dinosaurish to me, possibly because it loosely reminds me of the dinosaur Spinosaurus

[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Rex[/name_m] - I really like this. It’s a good solid, classic name that matches your other children’s names & goes lovely with [name_m]Rex[/name_m]. Only ‘possible downside’ is T-Rex but I’d use it as a NN if it was me lol.

[name_m]Leland[/name_m] [name_m]Rex[/name_m] - personally dislike this though unsure why as there’s nothing wrong with it, it just doesn’t appeal to me.

[name_m]Roger[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m] - NMS. I know a lot of older names have made a come back but [name_m]Roger[/name_m] still feels dated to me, sorry.

[name_m]Bridger[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m] - I like it. It’s cool, not too out there but stands out.

[name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Rex[/name_m] - there’s nothing wrong with this but I don’t think it flows as nicely as some of your other [name_m]Rex[/name_m] combos.

[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m] - beautiful handsome name. Can’t got wrong with this.

[name_m]Russell[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m] - it’s ok, still feels a little dated to me (maybe because I have family members with this name) but it’s a nice combo in general.

[name_f]My[/name_f] favourites & equally ones I think flow the best with your children’s names are [name_m]Simeon[/name_m] [name_m]Rex[/name_m], [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Rex[/name_m] or [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m].

[Chococat]

[name_f]Florence[/name_f] and [name_m]Duncan[/name_m] are such a sweet, fun pair!

For their brother, I think [name_m]Silas[/name_m] or [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] are my favourites in the set as they give each child a distinct yet cohesive sound. [name_m]Silas[/name_m] and [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] also feel on the right side of a little bit quirky but not uncommon, similar to [name_f]Florence[/name_f] and [name_m]Duncan[/name_m].

I’m also going to point out that if you go with [name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Rex[/name_m], be prepared for some “king of the jungle” comments! It’s not a bad thing, but it’s what came to my mind straight away.

[Greyblue]

[name_m]Simeon[/name_m] [name_m]Rex[/name_m] → this is so cool - gentle but sparky and strong

[name_m]Baxter[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m] → distinctive but grounded, with a musical kind of vibe

[name_m]Silas[/name_m] [name_m]Rex[/name_m] - sleek and stylish with a cool meaning / bookish feel

[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Rex[/name_m] → it’s got a hint of grandeur but also feels approachable

[name_m]Leland[/name_m] [name_m]Rex[/name_m] → gentle but earthy

[name_m]Roger[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m] → clunky cool - love to see [name_m]Roger[/name_m]

[name_m]Bridger[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m] → balanced with a bit of edge

[name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Rex[/name_m] → it’s okay, but it doesn’t quite flow to me. [name_m]Leon[/name_m] [name_m]Rex[/name_m], [name_m]Leander[/name_m] [name_m]Rex[/name_m] etc might be better

[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m] → friendly and cool, fresh but well established

[name_m]Russell[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m] → outdoorsy and grounded

[cms1512]

I think [name_m]Baxter[/name_m], [name_m]Russell[/name_m], or [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m] maintains the vibe the best.

[Estrela]

[name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f] sounds so feminine, colorful, sophisticated, and happy.
[name_m]Duncan[/name_m] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] is charming, captivating, and surprising.

A good name for their sibling is classic but unexpected, charismatic, and distinct.

[name_f]My[/name_f] favorites are [name_m]Baxter[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m] and [name_m]Russell[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m]. I also really like [name_m]Simeon[/name_m]. [name_m]Russell[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m] is wonderful! A very handsome, gentle, strong, and memorable name. [name_m]Baxter[/name_m] is really cool, interesting, fun, and energetic. At the same time, [name_m]Simeon[/name_m] also gives me a calm, charismatic, and distinct feeling.

[name_m]Theodore[/name_m], [name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] are wonderful names, but very popular choices. [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] would be a really nice option for a third baby, if you don’t care about popularity, though. On the other hand, I think [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] and [name_m]Leo[/name_m] look too short next to [name_f]Florence[/name_f] and [name_m]Duncan[/name_m]. These two don’t have the same sparkle that your children’s names share, in my opinion.

[name_m]Leland[/name_m] and [name_m]Roger[/name_m] are nice, but they don’t stand out on your list, from my point of view. Perhaps, they’re just not my style. [name_m]Leland[/name_m] has a great meaning, but for some reason, it doesn’t fascinate me. [name_m]Roger[/name_m] feels quite serious next to the sweet name [name_f]Florence[/name_f] and the friendly name [name_m]Duncan[/name_m]. I’m not a fan of [name_m]Bridger[/name_m], I’m sorry.

For the middle name, between [name_m]Louis[/name_m] and [name_m]Rex[/name_m], I strongly prefer [name_m]Louis[/name_m]. Timeless, elegant and refined like [name_f]Joy[/name_f] and [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m].
I don’t know if the names on your list have a special meaning or story behind them, but I can’t picture [name_m]Rex[/name_m] on a person. I’m sure there are many boys and men out there, especially the ones that love science and history, who would love to have the name [name_m]Rex[/name_m]! Unfortunately, I’m not an admirer. Rex’s meaning is great, though.

The magnificent combo [name_m]Russell[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m] would be my choice for you! The marvelous [name_m]Baxter[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m] would be my next option, followed by [name_m]Simeon[/name_m] or [name_m]Theodore[/name_m].

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

Here are my thoughts on your list:

[name_m]Simeon[/name_m] Rex-I thought that this was [name_m]Simon[/name_m] at first glance, & I think that it could get mistaken for [name_m]Simon[/name_m] often. I also like [name_m]Simon[/name_m] a lot more. [name_m]Simeon[/name_m], honestly, reminds me of an insect or something…I know it’s a biblical name! I just don’t love the sound.

[name_m]Baxter[/name_m] Louis-I don’t know…I find [name_m]Baxter[/name_m] hard to picture on a human. Cute for a dog, but too cute for a man.

[name_m]Silas[/name_m] Rex-I love love [name_m]Silas[/name_m]. It’s such a great balance of strong and outdoorsy but also gentle & kind. It’s not too popular but well known & easy to say & spell.

[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] Rex-That’s my five year old nephew’s name! He likes that he can have the nn ‘T-Rex’. He usually goes by [name_m]Theo[/name_m], though. I think that [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] is a darling name & it’s really great with [name_f]Florence[/name_f] & [name_m]Duncan[/name_m]. That all being said, it’s really popular in case that bothers you.

[name_m]Leland[/name_m] Rex-It’s honestly not my style, but I don’t mind it. It’s different & fits well with [name_m]Duncan[/name_m].

[name_m]Roger[/name_m] Louis-I don’t know…I like the mid-century vibe in that it’s unexpected. I just don’t know if I love the sound. It’s still a fun choice.

[name_m]Bridger[/name_m] Louis-I don’t care for this. It seems a little bit more trendy.

[name_m]Leo[/name_m] Rex-It’s a little short & abrupt. I actually think that [name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m] would be adorable. I like [name_m]Leo[/name_m] a lot. It’s lovable & classic. It’s also really popular like [name_m]Theo[/name_m] though; at least in my neck of the woods.

[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] Louis-Erza is nice. I don’t know why I don’t like it as much as I feel like I should. I like similar names like [name_m]Elijah[/name_m], [name_m]Noah[/name_m] & [name_m]Jonah[/name_m] more for some reason. It doesn’t seem like the same style as [name_f]Florence[/name_f] & [name_m]Duncan[/name_m], but it’s a handsome name none the less.

[name_m]Russell[/name_m] Louis-So, this is similar to [name_m]Roger[/name_m] in that you excpect to see it on a 59 year old instead of a baby & that’s kind of the charm. But I don’t know…Roger feels more classic. I’m not sure if [name_m]Russell[/name_m] is ready for a comeback yet.

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps.

[Sailor22]

[name_f]My[/name_f] favorite is [name_m]Bridger[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m], I’ve always liked the name [name_m]Bridger[/name_m], has an explorer swagger that I like.
[name_f]My[/name_f] second favorite is [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Rex[/name_m], very cool sounding name.
[name_f]My[/name_f] least favorite is [name_m]Russell[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m], I feel [name_m]Russell[/name_m] is a dated name.

[lucy_halo1]

[name_f]My[/name_f] favorite is [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Rex[/name_m].
Lots of nickname choices, and it goes great with [name_f]Florence[/name_f] and [name_m]Duncan[/name_m], too.

[whimsyberry]

[name_f]My[/name_f] favorite with your two kids are [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Rex[/name_m] and [name_m]Russell[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m]! I think they would go perfectly with [name_f]Florence[/name_f] and Duncan’s names!

[tori101]

Fabulous list!

Looking at your list I really love

[name_m]Simeon[/name_m] [name_m]Rex[/name_m] ~ [name_m]Simeon[/name_m] is such an underused biblical choice that feels soft and handsome. He’s unexpected and very in keeping with your kiddos names. I also love the middle name [name_m]Rex[/name_m] for [name_m]Simeon[/name_m]. [name_f]Lovely[/name_f] combination that fits so well with Fl0rence + Dunc@n.

[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Rex[/name_m] ~ I love [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] he’s such a cuddly handsome choice that feels wholesome and warm. I think [name_m]Rex[/name_m] adds a cool spunk to [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] the overall name is cool. I love how cottagecore Fl0rence, Dunc@n & [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] sound together.

These two are just standout winners

[ashthedreamer]

I adore [name_m]Simeon[/name_m] with your kiddos, and [name_m]Simeon[/name_m] [name_m]Rex[/name_m] is perfection! I think it is my favorite for you, but I adore [name_m]Baxter[/name_m] and [name_m]Baxter[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m] is fantastic (do you say [name_m]Louis[/name_m] like [name_m]Lewis[/name_m] or Louie?). I prefer [name_m]Lewis[/name_m] visually (this spelling), but I think the [name_m]Louie[/name_m] sound is great with [name_m]Baxter[/name_m], flow-wise. I do wonder if [name_m]Baxter[/name_m] feels too modern/surnamey next to the vintage [name_f]Florence[/name_f] and [name_m]Duncan[/name_m], but I LOVE [name_m]Baxter[/name_m] (same goes for [name_m]Bridger[/name_m], but I like [name_m]Baxter[/name_m] even more for you). [name_m]Silas[/name_m] [name_m]Rex[/name_m] is nice but pales in comparison to [name_m]Simeon[/name_m] [name_m]Rex[/name_m] for me. Same with [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Rex[/name_m] (although T-Rex is adorable for a family name! And [name_m]Teddy[/name_m] or [name_m]Theo[/name_m] would be great with [name_f]Florence[/name_f] and Duncan). [name_m]Leland[/name_m], [name_m]Roger[/name_m], and [name_m]Russell[/name_m] do nothing for me, sorry. [name_f]Love[/name_f] [name_m]Leo[/name_m] but I feel like [name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Rex[/name_m] is a bit short… are [name_m]Rex[/name_m] and [name_m]Louis[/name_m] family names? I would love to see [name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Baxter[/name_m] or [name_m]Baxter[/name_m] [name_m]Leo[/name_m] if you were open to it.

I would rank them [name_m]Simeon[/name_m], [name_m]Baxter[/name_m], [name_m]Bridger[/name_m], [name_m]Leo[/name_m], [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], [name_m]Silas[/name_m], and then Roger/Russell/Leland.

Oh [name_m]Ezra[/name_m]! Missed him, sorry! I like [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m] a lot but [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] is starting to get popular… [name_m]Simeon[/name_m], [name_m]Baxter[/name_m], and [name_m]Bridger[/name_m] all feel more interesting to me. He would maybe be tied with [name_m]Leo[/name_m]?

[name_m]Simeon[/name_m] and [name_m]Baxter[/name_m] are great though, I think either would be lovely with [name_f]Florence[/name_f] and [name_m]Duncan[/name_m]! Good luck!
