Ezekiel and Grant

I’m thinking about names again, as I think we might try for a baby next summer (I keep getting [name_f]October[/name_f] babies lol. I told my husband under no circumstances are we getting a third [name_f]October[/name_f] baby–we already have four birthdays the first week of [name_f]October[/name_f] :upside_down_face:).

Anyways, There are two names I’ve been thinking about: [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] and [name_m]Grant[/name_m].

I came up with:
[name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] [name_m]Angus[/name_m] (the name of my husband’s 96 year old maternal grandfather), and

[name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] [name_m]Jory[/name_m] (honouring my mother-in-law–her middle name is Marjorie). I do like this combination, but i recently found out [name_m]Jory[/name_m] is a name from Game of Thrones which i would be glad not to be associated with. Would anyone make a connection with the name and Game of Thrones?

[name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] [name_m]Grant[/name_m] is also a possibility.

[name_f]My[/name_f] mother-in-law is [name_m]French[/name_m] and Scottish so something along those lines would work if anyone has suggestions :slight_smile: We have honoured both my mum and dad’s side of the family so we thought we’d honour my mother-in-law’s side this time around when the time comes :slight_smile:

Also, [name_m]Grant[/name_m] is my mother-in-law’s maiden name and my husband’s middle name. So if we used this one as a first, it would be the honour name and i would just use a middle name i like along with it :slight_smile: however, I’m stumped lol. Any suggestions are welcome!

[name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] [name_m]Grant[/name_m] is so handsome :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I wouldn’t have said [name_m]Jory[/name_m] is overly GoT’s most people would expect names like [name_f]Arya[/name_f], [name_m]Tyrion[/name_m], [name_m]Jon[/name_m], [name_f]Sansa[/name_f], [name_m]Joffrey[/name_m], [name_f]Khaleesi[/name_f] etc. Plus although the show as widely watched it is quite a small community in the grand scheme of things that I don’t think you have to worry about it being labelled as a ‘GoT name’ :blush:

Ooh, [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] and [name_m]Grant[/name_m] are both great! I like the family connection of [name_m]Grant[/name_m], but my personal favorite is [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m]. [name_m]Jory[/name_m] is such a clever way to honor a [name_f]Marjorie[/name_f]. I haven’t seen Game of Thrones, so I wouldn’t associate it with that at all. It’s a name in its own right anyway (Cornish form of George), so I don’t think you need to overly worry about that connection. [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] [name_m]Angus[/name_m] and [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] [name_m]Grant[/name_m] are both wonderful combinations though if you decide to go that route.

MN suggestions for [name_m]Grant[/name_m]:

[name_m]Grant[/name_m] [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] (I think this works well!)
[name_m]Grant[/name_m] [name_m]Malachi[/name_m]
[name_m]Grant[/name_m] [name_m]Elias[/name_m]
[name_m]Grant[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_m]Grant[/name_m] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]
[name_m]Grant[/name_m] [name_m]Wesley[/name_m]
[name_m]Grant[/name_m] [name_m]Oliver[/name_m]
[name_m]Grant[/name_m] [name_m]Cassian[/name_m]
[name_m]Grant[/name_m] [name_m]Julian[/name_m]

[name_m]Grant[/name_m] [name_m]Adrian[/name_m]
[name_m]Grant[/name_m] [name_m]Rafferty[/name_m]
[name_m]Grant[/name_m] [name_m]Conrad[/name_m]

[name_m]Grant[/name_m] [name_m]Matthias[/name_m]
[name_m]Grant[/name_m] [name_m]Raphael[/name_m]
[name_m]Grant[/name_m] [name_m]Emeric[/name_m]

I like [name_m]Grant[/name_m] [name_m]Angus[/name_m]. Have never seen Game of Thrones so didn’t know the association.

I love both [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] and [name_m]Grant[/name_m] and they sound lovely together! [name_m]Jory[/name_m] is also a sweet honor name. I think people will not likely think of Game of Thrones because the character is a really minor one and I believe only in the first season, so unless they’re a superfan they’re unlikely to remember him.

[name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] [name_m]Grant[/name_m] is perfect!!

[name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] [name_m]Angus[/name_m] is cute; I feel like angus comes off very bluntly strong but with this name is a softer and sweeter sounding strong. [name_m]Angus[/name_m] has Scottish ties too.

[name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] [name_m]Grant[/name_m] is also such a cute name and I love that it packs meanings for you guys on both sides

[name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] [name_m]Jory[/name_m] is [name_m]Amazing[/name_m]. I don’t watch GOT so I wouldn’t make that connection. I’ve heard of [name_m]Rory[/name_m] for a boy or girl name and I love that. I love the meaning of how you landed on [name_m]Jory[/name_m] and it’s so unique. I think if a name appears on a show people might remember it that way, but that isn’t the only origin of that name.

A name similar to Marjorie/ [name_m]Jory[/name_m] : [name_m]Rory[/name_m], [name_m]Jaron[/name_m], [name_m]Murray[/name_m]

[name_m]Grant[/name_m] [name_m]Griffin[/name_m]
[name_m]Grant[/name_m] [name_m]Michael[/name_m]
[name_m]Grant[/name_m] [name_m]Cameron[/name_m]
[name_m]Grant[/name_m] [name_m]Euan[/name_m]
[name_m]Grant[/name_m] [name_m]Callum[/name_m]
[name_m]Grant[/name_m] [name_m]Finley[/name_m]
[name_m]Grant[/name_m] Lewis/ [name_m]Louis[/name_m]
[name_m]Grant[/name_m] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]
[name_m]Grant[/name_m] [name_m]Florian[/name_m]
[name_m]Grant[/name_m] [name_m]Stephen[/name_m]
[name_m]Grant[/name_m] [name_m]Algernon[/name_m]

[name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] [name_m]Jory[/name_m] is charming and cool! I haven’t watched GoTs but I do know some of the names from it, and [name_m]Jory[/name_m] isn’t one I recognise.

[name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] [name_m]Angus[/name_m] is great too - [name_m]Angus[/name_m] is so unexpected and cool - I like it!
