Duncan? Calvin?

Planning a third pregnancy and already thinking about names! If we had a girl, we are thinking about the name [name]Odessa[/name], but we’re stuck on boy names.

And yes, I’m the type of person who likes to have names chosen before getting pregnant. That’s what we did with the other two, so it seems best now! :slight_smile:

We have two other children, [name]Eleanor[/name] and [name]Sam[/name] ([name]Samuel[/name]).

Names we’re thinking of:
[name]Duncan[/name]
[name]Calvin[/name]
[name]Corbin[/name]
[name]Declan[/name] (not sure this goes with the other two names)
[name]Franklin[/name]
? any suggestions? thoughts?

Thanks!

I love [name]Eleanor[/name] and [name]Samuel[/name]! :slight_smile:

[name]Duncan[/name]: I have to admit that while I think it’s very handsome, I do think of the Dunkin’ Donuts chain. (That’s just me, though…) :slight_smile:

[name]Calvin[/name]: I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Calvin[/name], and think it’s great with your kids’ names. (I’m voting for [name]Calvin[/name]!)

[name]Corbin[/name]: I think it’s nice, but I just personally prefer [name]Calvin[/name] with your kids’ classic names.

[name]Declan[/name]: I love it, but I think [name]Calvin[/name] works better with [name]Eleanor[/name] and [name]Samuel[/name].

[name]Franklin[/name]: I’ve always like this name!

Names we’re thinking of:
[name]Duncan[/name]- This is quirky and fun, I like it!
[name]Calvin[/name]- This is perfect with [name]Samuel[/name] and [name]Eleanor[/name]!
[name]Corbin[/name]- not a [name]Corbin[/name] fan
[name]Declan[/name]- I like this, with the nickname [name]Dex[/name]!
[name]Franklin[/name]- This is great with your other kids, too. [name]Eleanor[/name], [name]Sam[/name] and [name]Frank[/name] is too cute!

I absolutely adore the name [name]Odessa[/name]! And I think it’s amazing you pick out the names before you’re pregnant, I wish I could do that!

We have two other children, [name]Eleanor[/name] and [name]Sam[/name] ([name]Samuel[/name]).

Names we’re thinking of:
[name]Duncan[/name] - I think of donuts
[name]Calvin[/name] - love!
[name]Corbin[/name] - means “raven” so I love it. I just love birds!
[name]Declan[/name] (not sure this goes with the other two names) - I knew a [name]Declan[/name] when we lived in CO. [name]Love[/name] it. I think [name]Declan[/name] goes with the other two names. You could call him Dec (Deck) for short.
[name]Franklin[/name] - [name]Love[/name] this, too.
? any suggestions? thoughts?

My fave on your list is [name]Calvin[/name].

[name]Edward[/name]
[name]George[/name]
[name]Henry[/name]
[name]Isaac[/name]
[name]Miles[/name] - I know, I keep suggesting this!
[name]Nicholas[/name] nn [name]Cole[/name]

Thanks everyone! [name]Sam[/name]'s middle name is actually [name]Atticus[/name], otherwise that would be at the top of our list. I really like many of the suggestions you all came up with, the problem is getting my husband to agree! It seems like [name]Calvin[/name] is the favorite so far. Thanks!

[name]Sam[/name]'s name is [name]Samuel[/name] [name]Atticus[/name]? Wow! I think that’s amazingly handsome! :slight_smile:

I think [name]Calvin[/name] is great, too, and I love it with your kids’ names. :slight_smile:

Good luck!

[name]Eleanor[/name] and [name]Samuel[/name] are classic names, I don’t feel that the names on your list match them appropriately.
