Do these names work?

Brother is [name_m]Leopold[/name_m] (nn [name_m]Leo[/name_m].) Only name we both like is [name_u]August[/name_u]/[name_m]Augusten[/name_m] and I’d like at least two top names to choose from.

[name_m]Lachlan[/name_m]
[name_m]Roman[/name_m]

Are they too top 100 or two L’s too much?

Personally I think [name_u]August[/name_u]/[name_m]Augusten[/name_m] is perfect with [name_m]Leopold[/name_m]! If you want a second name I’d go with [name_m]Roman[/name_m]. [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] just feels so stylistically different from [name_m]Leopold[/name_m]. I don’t care for them together. [name_m]Leopold[/name_m] and [name_m]Roman[/name_m] work, but I still prefer [name_m]Leopold[/name_m] and [name_u]August[/name_u]/[name_m]Augusten[/name_m].

Another vote for [name_u]August[/name_u]/[name_m]Augusten[/name_m]. I love [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m]/[name_m]Lochlan[/name_m] too and if the diferent styles don’t bother you then I would keep it as a contender as well.

Is [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] stylistically different because it’s a Scottish name and [name_m]Leopold[/name_m] German- or? I get that they sound very different, just wondering if it matters in the long run.

Thank you for the feedback so far!

I wouldn’t worry about them being stylicistaclly different. As my mom told me… ‘They are indiviual people, why do their names need to go together?’ :slight_smile: My kids names don’t really ‘go’ together but I love them all and they each have a name that suits them. If you like [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] leave it in the running!

I agree with @bluecurry. Each child is an individual and you should go with the name that you love the most. Yes, by stylistically different I think they feel like they originated in [name_f]Scotland[/name_f] and Germany (although that is fine).

[name_u]August[/name_u] is the best. I don’t really care for either alternative, but if I had to choose I’d say [name_m]Roman[/name_m]

I think [name_m]Roman[/name_m] and [name_m]Leopold[/name_m] are perfect together. They have the same feel, stylish and a bit vintage. I prefer [name_m]Roman[/name_m] to [name_u]August[/name_u], but it also works.

[name_u]August[/name_u] or [name_m]Augusten[/name_m] is your winner [name_f]IMO[/name_f]. The other two feel overshadowed by [name_m]Leopold[/name_m].
