My husband has given up on helping me name our children because I second guessed using the names he liked, which are entirely way too popular. Now he says he’ll just learn to like them and to pick whatever I want. Normally, this would make me pretty happy, but these are his children too and I value his opinion, we just don’t have the same tastes in names.
This is a list of names I like for our two sons. I’ve given up on some kind of theme, subtle or not. Brutal honest is appreciated and welcomed!
[name]Edmund[/name]
[name]Harvey[/name]
[name]Otto[/name]
[name]Phineas[/name]
[name]Rupert[/name]
[name]Conrad[/name]
[name]Alistair[/name]
[name]Malachi[/name]
[name]Frederick[/name]
[name]Lewis[/name]
[name]Edward[/name]
[name]George[/name]
[name]Theodore[/name]
[name]Edmund[/name]
[name]Rupert[/name]
[name]Conrad[/name]
[name]Alistair[/name]
[name]Frederick[/name]
[name]Lewis[/name]
These are the ones I really like from your list. For your two boys, I especially like [name]Edmund[/name] and [name]Rupert[/name], although they are all lovely.
I’m loving [name]Phineas[/name] & [name]Malachi[/name]. [name]Both[/name] easily nn’ed (if you like nns) and sound fresh and original without being too uptight and formal.
[name]Edmund[/name] - I like this name but I prefer [name]Edward[/name] for some reason.
[name]Harvey[/name] - I have a soft spot for this name. I think it’s very sweet and charming on a little boy.
[name]Otto[/name] - [name]Ah[/name], I love this name too! It’s very uncommon but so familiar.
[name]Phineas[/name] - I like this, especially with the nickname [name]Finn[/name].
[name]Rupert[/name] - Normally I like this name, but some other names on your list definitely trump it.
[name]Conrad[/name] - Same as [name]Rupert[/name]. A bit bland, I think.
[name]Alistair[/name] - Generally not a big fan of [name]Alistair[/name].
[name]Malachi[/name] - [name]Love[/name] this name. Great choice! So unusual and cool.
[name]Frederick[/name] - One of my all time favorites. Classic but not popular, adorable nicknames.
[name]Lewis[/name] - Not my favorite of your list.
[name]Edward[/name] - [name]Love[/name] [name]Edward[/name], a lot.
[name]George[/name] - Another name I love, Classic and sweet.
[name]Theodore[/name] - Yet another name I adore. I love [name]Teddy[/name] as a nickname. So cute.
So my favorites from your list:
[name]Edward[/name] [name]Phineas[/name]
[name]George[/name] [name]Alistair[/name]
[name]Theodore[/name] [name]Malachi[/name]
[name]Frederick[/name] [name]Otto[/name]
I could definitely see those four as brothers. Or you could go for the more biblical leaning set:
[name]Phineas[/name] [name]Rupert[/name]
[name]Malachi[/name] [name]George[/name]
