Eamon or Anders?

Looking for opinions! Boy #2 on the way, older brother is named Easton and we are looking for a sibling name that will go with that. As of now we are thinking Eamon or Anders. Which do y’all like better?

Middle name will be Benjamin. Other names that we have thought about are Grayson/Greyson but calling him grey/gray, or Rowan. Top 2 names are Eamon and Anders though.

[name_f]Welcome[/name_f] to the Nameberry community! Both are great names although [name_u]Easton[/name_u] and [name_m]Eamon[/name_m] share some of the same sounds that may be a bit close so I would choose [name_m]Anders[/name_m] or [name_u]Rowan[/name_u]. [name_m]Euan[/name_m] and [name_m]Alistair[/name_m] also come to mind for you.

I love [name_m]Anders[/name_m] and prefer it! [name_u]Easton[/name_u] and [name_m]Eamon[/name_m] could work but are very close especially visually. Good luck

I like how [name_m]Anders[/name_m] and [name_u]Easton[/name_u] work together. [name_m]Eamon[/name_m] is quite similar to [name_u]Easton[/name_u], but should be alright. [name_m]Anders[/name_m] [name_u]Benjamin[/name_u] or [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_u]Benjamin[/name_u] sound lovely.

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

I love love [name_m]Eamon[/name_m]. It’s my little nephew’s name. It’s handsome & interesting & sweet & a little sporty while being bookish at the same time. That being said…Easton & [name_m]Eamon[/name_m] seem way too close for brothers. [name_m]Anders[/name_m] is a really cool & kind of unexpected charming boy name as well. [name_u]Easton[/name_u] & [name_m]Anders[/name_m] are perfect together.

I do really like [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] though! [name_u]Strong[/name_u] & outdoorsy but gentle & easy going. [name_u]Greyson[/name_u] is not my cup of tea, & it’s too close to [name_u]Easton[/name_u] also. [name_m]Just[/name_m] [name_u]Grey[/name_u] would probably work.

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps. :slight_smile:

I’m not a fan of how similar [name_m]Eamon[/name_m] and [name_u]Easton[/name_u] look, so [name_m]Anders[/name_m] gets my vote :slight_smile: It’s a handsome name and goes well with [name_u]Easton[/name_u]!

Ya that was the only thing they are close visually but have always loved [name_m]Eamon[/name_m], and the pronunciation is different from [name_u]Easton[/name_u] so we are torn!

Thank you!

[name_m]Eamon[/name_m] and [name_u]Easton[/name_u] are similar visually but pronounced different so are torn. And loved [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] for a boy but recently only know girls that are named that recently so not sure if trending more to the girls side or not, not that that’s a big deal!

I know I’m in the minority here, but I love [name_u]Easton[/name_u] and [name_m]Eamon[/name_m] together!! They definitely are visually similar, but they’re pronounced differently enough that I think it’s fine. Besides, they’ll only be “Easton and Eamon” for a small portion of their lives, the rest of it they’ll be their own person with their own life! [name_f]My[/name_f] only hesitation would be if you had more children, they might feel left out.
I also really love [name_u]Rowan[/name_u], that’s my second favorite boy name!! Its so handsome and I think it also matches nicely with [name_u]Easton[/name_u]!

I’m not personally a fan of [name_m]Anders[/name_m], but it is nice! Maybe you might like similar sounding [name_u]Sander[/name_u]?

Definitely Anders! I love Easton and Anders together. I agree that Easton and Eamon are too close visually, with the Ea- beginning and the -on ending

Anders because I personally like the name much more!

I prefer [name_m]Anders[/name_m], and I think it sounds nicer in your set, as [name_m]Eamon[/name_m] and [name_u]Easton[/name_u] are similar.

Thank you! We were leaning 60/40 [name_m]Eamon[/name_m] but seems that most prefer [name_m]Anders[/name_m] so glad to see someone else not think the Ea-on similarities are too much. And that’s only on paper since pronounced much differently. And thank you for the rest of the suggestions!

[name_m]Anders[/name_m]! Not only is it a nicer name. It’s distinct from big brothers name

Usually I’d be all in for [name_m]Eamon[/name_m] (such a handsome name!), but with [name_u]Easton[/name_u] as a big brother, I think they’re unfortunately a bit close. [name_m]Anders[/name_m] is super cool, and fits in with [name_u]Easton[/name_u] perfectly though in my opinion!
