First name for mn Walker

Hello all! I was looking for some help for a first name to go with the middle name [name]Walker[/name]. We are 100% sure we want [name]Walker[/name] since it has a personal family connection :slight_smile: We have a few ideas but are not too sure on any of them! Any suggestions would be appreciated :slight_smile: Our ideas so far are: [name]Weston[/name], [name]Oliver[/name], [name]Archer[/name], [name]Lincoln[/name], [name]Theodore[/name] and [name]Jackson[/name]. [name]Theodore[/name] is my favorite so far and [name]Jackson[/name] is my husbands. I actually like the name [name]Jackson[/name] but I know three boys given this name in the last few months! My husband and I both like [name]Archer[/name] but since both names end in “er” I’m not sure :confused: Help please!!

[name]Hi[/name]! [name]Walker[/name]'s a great middle. Here are some thoughts:

[name]Weston[/name] [name]Walker[/name]: I find the 2 W’s a bit much…not awful but a bit much. I think with [name]Walker[/name] as a middle you may want to stay away from anything too heavily surnamey, since it starts sounding lawfirmy. That said, if you like [name]Weston[/name] but agree the W’s are a bit much, [name]Easton[/name] [name]Walker[/name] or [name]Preston[/name] [name]Walker[/name] might be two similar options.

[name]Oliver[/name]: a very handsome name, but I find the -er endings here matchy too. [name]Oliver[/name] [name]Walker[/name] isn’t bad though, [name]Oliver[/name] at least has a different number of syllables. I might suggest: [name]Evan[/name] [name]Walker[/name], [name]Everett[/name] [name]Walker[/name].

[name]Archer[/name]: I think the two names are too matchy. [name]Asher[/name] is a close name that at least is less surnamey, although I stil think [name]Asher[/name] [name]Walker[/name] is a bit rough. Maybe [name]Arlo[/name] [name]Walker[/name] or [name]Charles[/name] [name]Walker[/name]? Maybe [name]Archer[/name] is a great name to save for a future son?

[name]Lincoln[/name] [name]Walker[/name]: since [name]Walker[/name] is famously a middle name for the Bushes, this is feeling really heavily presidential, and really heavily surnamey. [name]Lincoln[/name]'s a nice name though. [name]Malcolm[/name] [name]Walker[/name]? [name]Lennox[/name] [name]Walker[/name]?

[name]Theodore[/name]: [name]Theodore[/name]'s a great name. They both end in -r but it is a different sound. It works pretty well. You might like [name]Edward[/name] [name]Walker[/name] or [name]Theo[/name] [name]Walker[/name], just [name]Theo[/name].

[name]Jackson[/name]: Very surnamey but handsome for sure. It is quite popular and only you can decide how much that bothers you. [name]James[/name] [name]Walker[/name] nn [name]Jack[/name] might work. I was about to suggest [name]John[/name] nn [name]Jack[/name] but [name]Johnny[/name] [name]Walker[/name] is a famous liquor so that should be out. Similarly I was going to suggest [name]Jameson[/name] for you but I think it has the same problem.

Summary: I like [name]Oliver[/name] and [name]Theodore[/name] the best of the ones you’re considering. I advise against [name]Weston[/name] (mildly) and [name]Archer[/name] (more strongly). I suggest [name]Easton[/name], [name]Preston[/name], [name]Evan[/name], [name]Everett[/name], [name]Arlo[/name], [name]Charles[/name], [name]Malcolm[/name], [name]Lennox[/name], [name]Edward[/name], [name]Theo[/name], [name]James[/name].

Good luck!

From your list, I think [name]Theodore[/name] [name]Walker[/name] sounds great!

thank you ladies for the responses! I didn’t realize until you said jesba but a lot of the names do sound like two surnames… which I don’t think I really like. I like [name]Easton[/name] and and [name]Lennox[/name] is pretty good too… although [name]Theodore[/name] is still my favorite but my husband isn’t loving it :confused: dantea off of your list i really like [name]Leo[/name] and [name]Tristan[/name] is actually a name we considered for our first son :slight_smile: oh and we like the nickname “huck” however the only name we can come up with is huckleberry which is too out there for us- have any ideas for names with the nickname of huck! thanks again

I think [name]Charles[/name] nn [name]Huck[/name] is plausible because of the historic connection to [name]Chuck[/name]. It also seems plausible for [name]Henry[/name] since they both start with H and it’s kind of close to [name]Hank[/name]. Also a possibility for a [name]Hugh[/name] or [name]Hugo[/name]. Or a [name]Tucker[/name] but [name]Tucker[/name] [name]Walker[/name] doesn’t really work.

[name]Huxley[/name]? Also the surname thing. [name]Hudson[/name]? [name]Hudson[/name] [name]Walker[/name] nn [name]Huck[/name] kind of merges some of the sounds, could work.

[name]Henry[/name] [name]Walker[/name] nn [name]Huck[/name]?

I really like the name [name]Henry[/name]! I will bring it up to the hubby :slight_smile: He seems to be much pickier than I am- not that I like all names but I am much more open than he is to a lot of different names… with my second daughter we finally had to pick a name that we both just kinda liked- since we couldn’t agree on a name! The name fits her well and I love it now but I don’t want the same thing happening again!!!

I think [name]Henry[/name] [name]Walker[/name] nn [name]Huck[/name] is really nice : D. Fingers crossed your husband agrees.

I agree! Thanks :slight_smile:
