Usually not the type to post, but figured I’d throw it out there for initial thoughts from others. Right now the name we’ve landed on for our third baby is -
[name_m]Just[/name_m] wondering if [name_u]Finn[/name_u] [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] seems too weird or “nautical” lol. Also does it go with the other kids?
[name_u]Jude[/name_u], [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f], and [name_u]Finn[/name_u] are all inspired by the band, Anberlin. (We’re very music oriented) So that’s one reason for [name_u]Finn[/name_u], to kind of continue that along that line. I also just don’t have many other names that I’m in love with. I have liked [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] for a long time, but I don’t know about it for a first name. The 3rd baby is much harder for some reason. Also - planning for this to be the last baby, I’m planning to get a tubal.
Is there a reason you want to use [name_m]Joshua[/name_m] again? Unless it has some significance beyond being dad’s first name, I would drop [name_m]Joshua[/name_m] and go for [name_u]Finn[/name_u] [name_m]Atlas[/name_m]. [name_u]Jude[/name_u], [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f], and [name_u]Finn[/name_u] are great together!
I think [name_u]Finn[/name_u] goes great with your other kids’ names and [name_u]Finn[/name_u] [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] is a handsome combo. It really didn’t even occur to me that both names are kind of nautical. I don’t think the connection is all that obvious.
I do agree with southern.maple that it seems a little strange to me to use [name_m]Joshua[/name_m] a second time. If it’s just that you don’t want this son to feel left out not being named after dad, I might look into other family names to use instead. Obviously up to you though! [name_u]Finn[/name_u] [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] [name_m]Joshua[/name_m] is a very nice name if you do decide to go with that.
I really like [name_u]Finn[/name_u] [name_m]Atlas[/name_m]. I don’t like it with [name_m]Joshua[/name_m] because you already used the name and it doesn’t have the same vibe.
I quite like the combination, however I don’t really see the point in using [name_m]Joshua[/name_m] again. Unless there is a particular reason to use it again, I would find another name. Iy kind of coms across as “we couldn’t think of anything new, so that’ll do” (not that that was your reasoning, I hope you get what I mean)
I love [name_m]Atlas[/name_m], and quite like [name_u]Finn[/name_u].
I like it. Kind of agree that [name_u]Finn[/name_u] [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] is great though, no need to use [name_m]Joshua[/name_m] again unless you want too
[name_u]Finn[/name_u] [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] is gorgeous! Good choice. I also would not re-use [name_m]Joshua[/name_m], unless if you have a particular reason.
If it’s a family tradition for boys to have dad’s name as a middle, I don’t see a problem with reusing [name_m]Joshua[/name_m]. [name_m]Joshua[/name_m] is a lovely name. I know a family with two sons and both of them have the same middle name as their father. It’s not a big deal.
But it might be nice to find another family name, maybe a masculine version of your name if possible (if you didn’t use yours on your daughter) or a grandfather’s name perhaps.
[name_u]Finn[/name_u] [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] [name_m]Joshua[/name_m] is a sweet name, though.
[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_u]Finn[/name_u] and [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] goes so well. I also considered [name_m]Atlas[/name_m]. Definitely a great combo.
Thanks everyone! We like the idea of having the dad’s name as a middle name for all the boys (it’s a tradition in some families/cultures) but am not set on that. I think also I was thinking to add it because of the flow into our last name. But we’ll see.
