There are now just a measly 48 hours until our first child, a son, joins the world. Hubby and I haven’t been able to compromise on a name and now we are desperate! We’re pretty much down to 3 of our favorites from our (finally) finished list, with help from you berries :). They are:
[name]Auden[/name]
[name]Emerson[/name]
[name]Peregrine[/name]
Which one is best? Last name is Sparks, in case you’re wondering. And any middle name suggestions?
Thanks so much, you’re all lifesavers!
My favourite is [name]Emerson[/name]. Could be: [name]Emerson[/name] [name]James[/name], [name]Emerson[/name] [name]Jude[/name], [name]Emerson[/name] [name]Loki[/name], [name]Emerson[/name] [name]Richard[/name], [name]Emerson[/name] [name]George[/name], [name]Emerson[/name] [name]Isaac[/name], [name]Emerson[/name] [name]Oliver[/name], [name]Emerson[/name] [name]Finn[/name]? I like [name]Peregrine[/name] as a quirky middle name so you could always go for [name]Emerson[/name] [name]Peregrine[/name] - I know fluidity isn’t exactly there, but how foten will you call him by both names anyway? Sorry but [name]Auden[/name] doesn’t appeal to me. 
Good luck!
[name]Peregrine[/name] Sparks sounds amazing
I like that the P is in both names, [name]Auden[/name] and [name]Emerson[/name] both sound a little bland next to Sparks. [name]Peregrine[/name] holds his own ^^
A middle name with two syllables sounds best:
[name]Peregrine[/name] [name]Arthur[/name] Sparks
[name]Peregrine[/name] [name]Ivo[/name] Sparks
[name]Peregrine[/name] [name]Edward[/name] Sparks
[name]Peregrine[/name] [name]Henry[/name] Sparks
[name]Peregrine[/name] [name]Sayer[/name] Sparks
[name]Peregrine[/name] [name]Monroe[/name]/[name]Munro[/name] Sparks
[name]Peregrine[/name] [name]Willem[/name] Sparks
My least favorite is [name]Emerson[/name], even if you were naming the baby after the writer it sounds so bland and trendy.
[name]Auden[/name] is striking but [name]Auden[/name] himself was a fairly horrible person.
I love [name]Peregrine[/name], especially with a cool last name like Sparks. It’s lengthy, ornate and formal. It’s strikingly uncommon. It conjures up pilgrims, falcons, wanderers and Tolkien.
If you use it, I think a pared-down middle is best. It would make [name]Peregrine[/name] look less quirky. Any family names up for consideration? A 2-syllable name would be best between [name]Peregrine[/name] & Sparks.
[name]Auden[/name] - I love this name but I can only picture it on a girl for some reason
[name]Emerson[/name] - it’s cute but I like it on a girl better. It is my favorite out of all of your choices
[name]Peregrine[/name] - I do not like this one
[name]Emerson[/name] [name]Jacoby[/name] Sparks
[name]Emerson[/name] [name]Alistair[/name] Sparks
[name]Emerson[/name] [name]Malachi[/name] Sparks
[name]Emerson[/name] [name]Mateo[/name] Sparks
[name]Emerson[/name] [name]Luka[/name] Sparks (my favorite)
[name]Jacob[/name], DH’s maternal grandfather.
[name]How[/name] does [name]Peregrine[/name] [name]Jacob[/name] Sparks sound?
Adorable! [name]Love[/name] the family association. It’s really perfect, if [name]Peregrine[/name] is too much for him at any point in his life, he can go by [name]Jacob[/name]. It’s just the right amount of syllables and there are no redundant sounds, so the flow is great. And [name]Peregrine[/name] is the clear winner over [name]Auden[/name] and [name]Emerson[/name]. I say go for it!
[name]Peregrine[/name] [name]Jacob[/name] Sparks sounds fine. [name]Peregrine[/name] [name]Arthur[/name] is still my favorite suggestion, but [name]Jacob[/name] would hold more meaning for you.
I really do like all three of your names. [name]True[/name], W.H. [name]Auden[/name] was controversial (I’m guessing [name]Blade[/name] and I are thinking of the same person), but he may not come to the forefront of everyone’s mind when they hear the name [name]Auden[/name]; though that is definitely something to consider.
[name]Emerson[/name] sounds much better on a boy [name]IMO[/name].
So my favorites are [name]Peregrine[/name] [name]Jacob[/name] or [name]Arthur[/name] and [name]Emerson[/name] [name]Jacob[/name].
I think having 2 or 3 ready when baby comes is great! Sometimes you just know once you see baby. Consider yourself lucky to have it narrowed down…I’m having a horrible time with that.
To answer your question, I like [name]Auden[/name] a lot…is on my long list and goes great with sparks. I like to use a family name in the middle. [name]Peregrine[/name] is great too…are you considering/ ok with the nn perry (or peri)?
I think I would go with [name]Auden[/name], but [name]Auden[/name] and [name]Emerson[/name] are both used on girls quite a bit. I really dislike [name]Peregrine[/name].
[name]Emerson[/name] Sparks is the best out of them:)
My vote is [name]Auden[/name]!
Definitely [name]Peregrine[/name], and I think [name]Peregrine[/name] [name]Jacob[/name] Sparks sounds amazing, it holds the family connection in the middle and lets face it, [name]Peregrine[/name] Sparks is one hell of an awesome name, and if he doesn’t like it he can always go by [name]Perry[/name] or [name]Jake[/name].
I love [name]Peregrine[/name] [name]Jacob[/name] Sparks! The clear winner for me. Otherwise [name]Emerson[/name] is very nice too.
[name]Peregrine[/name] [name]Jacob[/name] Sparks is awesome!! [name]Peregrine[/name] Sparks just sounds like such a cool, interesting fellow, and [name]Perry[/name] Sparks or [name]Jake[/name] Sparks each have their own individual personalities, if [name]Peregrine[/name] feels a little heavy for certain stages of his life. Overall it’s a very workable name, which I commend you on, because I love [name]Peregrine[/name] but I think it can be a lot to work with. But [name]Peregrine[/name] [name]Jacob[/name] Sparks is perfect!
If [name]Peregrine[/name]'s not working for you, [name]Auden[/name] Sparks is a good name, it sounds like an author. [name]Emmerson[/name] Sparks, honestly, is a little boring to me.
None of them are bad names, but [name]Peregrine[/name] [name]Jacob[/name] Sparks has “ping”.
