I’m due in 2 weeks with my first and we’re having a boy. We’re trying to decide between a few names - full disclosure, [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] has been in the lead since we found out it’s a boy. But we want options to decide when we meet him. [name_m]Angelo[/name_m] is a family name that we’ll use as a middle name if it ends up working. We have an italian last name, 3 syllables ending in -o.
Here’s the list:
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m] [name_m]Angelo[/name_m]
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m] ??
**Note with [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] we definitely like the nickname [name_m]Luke[/name_m] as well
[name_u]Owen[/name_u] ??
[name_m]Andrew[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] (or any other middle name?)
**Not a fan of [name_u]Andy[/name_u] as a nickname, so hoping to keep it [name_m]Andrew[/name_m] or at the very least [name_u]Drew[/name_u]
I find [name_m]Andrew[/name_m] to be a bit dull personally, but I think [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] and [name_u]Owen[/name_u] are both nice names. [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] would be my pick for you. I like [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] [name_m]Angelo[/name_m] too, but [name_m]Angelo[/name_m] in the middle would sound a bit repetitive if your last name is also 3 syllables ending in -o.
If you go with [name_u]Owen[/name_u], you could use [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] or [name_u]James[/name_u] in the middle.
You have brilliant taste!
I just love [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] [name_m]Angelo[/name_m], it has a classic Italian feel that is adorable - well, [name_m]Angelo[/name_m] is a family name for me too and and we had considered it as a middle for our son (ended up not using it, but still in the running if we are blessed with another son, so I’m partial!) [name_m]Luke[/name_m] is perfect as a nickname, though you may also want to consider it as a first name in its own right? Yet again, [name_m]Luke[/name_m] is a family name for me (my godfather’s name), so of course I’m biased!
As for [name_m]Andrew[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u], well, it may have less flair but it is an impeccably tasteful name - [name_m]Andrew[/name_m] is my favourite classic name (my son’s name is [name_m]Andrei[/name_m]!) and I feel that you can’t go wrong naming a little boy [name_m]Andrew[/name_m] ([name_u]Drew[/name_u] is a great nickname too, much better than [name_u]Andy[/name_u], I agree). Have you considered [name_m]Andrew[/name_m] [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] ? [name_m]Andrew[/name_m] [name_m]Dominic[/name_m]? [name_m]Andrew[/name_m] [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] ?
Still, [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] [name_m]Angelo[/name_m] gets my vote !
Good luck with the rest of the pregnancy and don’t worry, you can’t go wrong with the names on your list !
Of all the first name options, [name_u]Owen[/name_u] is my favorite. BUT all your names, and all their combinations, are lovely. So you can’t go wrong! Congrats!!
I think [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] [name_m]Angelo[/name_m] has the perfect mix of classic and Continental charm so it gets my vote. I adore [name_m]Luke[/name_m]. Is the Italian [name_u]Luca[/name_u] not an option? [name_u]Owen[/name_u] begins with an “o” and your surname ends with the same letter so I don’t think it’s ideal. [name_m]Andrew[/name_m] is a fine name but I find it a little bland.
You have great taste and if I were you I would probably like to honour the Italian heritage so I think that [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] [name_m]Angelo[/name_m] would be ideal.
I think [name_m]Andrew[/name_m] is a very handsome name. I have loved it forever and I would definitely go for the full name or [name_u]Drew[/name_u] as a nn not [name_u]Andy[/name_u].
[name_u]Owen[/name_u] is very nice too, and as a pp said your name ends and begins with an ‘o’ sp better to use another name I think.
rollo
PS For a future sibling I would love to see [name_m]Rocco[/name_m], [name_m]Marco[/name_m] or [name_m]Orlando[/name_m] in the middle name spot.
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m] [name_m]Angelo[/name_m] flows great [name_f]IMO[/name_f]. I don’t really care for [name_u]James[/name_u] with [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] due to both ending in s. [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] is going to be our boy name as well!
I love [name_m]Andrew[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] but I’m a bit biased as its DH’s name! It’s a classic, handsome, strong name.
But saying that, I adore [name_m]Lucas[/name_m]! Although I don’t like the nn [name_m]Luke[/name_m] my choice would be [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u], it’s adorable [name_m]Angelo[/name_m] would be nice as its honouring but I think the -o may be too much with your surname ending -o too.
