Hard time find a name that goes with our last name.

Like a really really really hard time. My husband and I had no trouble naming our first little girl ([name]Bridgit[/name] [name]Corrine[/name]) but now that we’re expecting #2 a little boy… We’re having the hardest time finding a good strong name that can fall in line with [name]Bridgit[/name] but stand alone as well. Now our last name is… Cox… I also have a pretty good imagination when in comes to putting names together and finding ways for the little guy to be teased.

We’ve come up with a few names but I’m not sure if I like them, or my husband doesn’t like them…

[name]Brennan[/name]
[name]Dominic[/name]
[name]Ciaran[/name]
[name]Arthur[/name]
[name]Malcom[/name]
[name]Jasper[/name]

Last night my husband and I compromised on. However, I’m not sure if they go well together.
[name]Jasper[/name] [name]Morrisey[/name]

Please help!!! I could sure use it.

Thanks in advance!!

Oh I really like those together!!! I think it is great that you are thinking to the future teasing that little kids will do. But I love [name]Jasper[/name] [name]Morrisey[/name] together!!

[name]Jasper[/name] [name]Morrisey[/name] Cox is so handsome. [name]Jasper[/name] and [name]Brigit[/name] go well together. However, you have to [name]LOVE[/name] the name you’re choosing.

What are some names you [name]LOVE[/name] but wouldn’t fair well with either [name]Brigit[/name] or Cox?

[name]Love[/name] the [name]Jasper[/name] part, and it goes great with [name]Bridgit[/name]. I’m not digging the [name]Morrisey[/name] part though…[name]Jasper[/name] is a colorful name, why not something simple and classic?

[name]Jasper[/name] [name]Morrisey[/name] Cox is really nice, it flows really well!

I think you did really well. The 2-3-1 rhythm is perfect and [name]Jasper[/name] goes very well with [name]Bridgit[/name]. I like your other choices as well though your style is quite eclectic! And I definitely like [name]Morrisey[/name] in the middle…

I love [name]Jasper[/name], but I think [name]Arthur[/name] Cox flows much better than [name]Jasper[/name] Cox. [name]Arthur[/name] [name]Morrisey[/name] Cox flows great too!

P.S. [name]Jasper[/name] and [name]Arthur[/name] were both on our short list for #2 :slight_smile:

Thanks for everyone’s input!

The more I say [name]Jasper[/name] and [name]Bridgit[/name]… [name]Jasper[/name] [name]Morrisey[/name]… I start to like it.

I tend to go toward names that are very old-fashioned from 1880’s to the 1920’s, and very unique.
We got [name]Bridgit[/name]'s name off an Irish baby name site and you just don’t hear the name very often these days.

I am liking the input and if anyone has any ideas for other names please let me know.

Thanks again

So the debate continues between the husband and I.

While we do like [name]Jasper[/name]… My husband is starting to steer away from it. We’ve toyed with a name like [name]Andre[/name] [name]Bastian[/name] but he wants the ‘s’ in [name]Andres[/name] to be there and then it would sound too much like [name]Andre[/name] S’bastian.

Any other ideas. I’m just lost when it comes to boy names.

What about another uncommon Irish name like [name]Brigit[/name]?

What about [name]Angus[/name]? It is a very strong Scottish name with a great NN of [name]Gus[/name].

[name]Brigit[/name] & [name]Angus[/name]… I really like it.

What about [name]Anders[/name]? (Doesn’t solve your problem with [name]Bastian[/name] as a middle name though).

I also think Cox, as a simple, one syllable surname, lends itself well to alliteration (there used to be a DJ called [name]Carl[/name] Cox, back in my rave days).
What about [name]Christopher[/name]/[name]Christoph[/name]/[name]Christos[/name]
[name]Clancy[/name]
[name]Clarry[/name]
[name]Callum[/name]
[name]Cormac[/name]
[name]Charles[/name] (not exactly allieration but I think [name]Charles[/name] Cox has a strong sound).

Okay so I kind of want to find a good Irish or Scottish name. Especially since [name]Bridgit[/name] is an Irish name. I’m gonna start looking for some good strong Scottish names.

So here’s what I keep coming back too but need to find good middle names…

[name]Brennen[/name] (or [name]Brendan[/name])
[name]Ciaran[/name]

Any Scottish names or middle name ideas?

Thank you guys for your help it has been a huge help!

[name]How[/name] about [name]Andreas[/name] instead [name]Andre/name?

[name]Everett[/name]
[name]Silas[/name]
[name]Emmett[/name]

I really like [name]Jasper[/name] [name]Morrissey[/name] Cox, but if you are looking for an alternative, I think [name]Donovan[/name] [name]Morrissey[/name] Cox also sounds good.
