Help Finishing Up?

We are TTC number 2 and would like to have a name picked out as soon as we find out the gender, to make it more real to our son.

We have three awesome first names picked out, but we are struggling with middle names. Our first name options-

[name_u]Flynn[/name_u]
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m]
[name_m]Declan[/name_m]

[name_u]Flynn[/name_u] is particularly hard to find a match for. We’d like a name with meaning to it, but we don’t like any of the family name options. They’re mostly surnames that are too long and ornate for our tastes. A nature name would be meaningful for us, but we just haven’t found a nature name that we like. They all sound a little too ‘hippy’.

The only options we semi-like are [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] (but everyone says it sounds too much like the Disney character [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] [name_m]Rider[/name_m]) and [name_m]Declan[/name_m] [name_m]John[/name_m] (which honors the same person as our sons middle name, which is a little odd).

Things that may work- Biblical names or natur names. But again we just haven’t found any we like! We may just have to settle with a name we like instead of a name with meaning.

Any suggestions at all would be great! It’s also worth mentioning that I particularly like one syllable names for [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] and [name_m]Declan[/name_m], and three syllable names with [name_u]Flynn[/name_u].

Older brother is [name_u]Jameson[/name_u] [name_u]Michael[/name_u]!

I love your names!
[name_f]Do[/name_f] you like [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] ?

[name_m]Declan[/name_m] [name_m]John[/name_m] is nice. some other options:
[name_m]Declan[/name_m] [name_m]Joel[/name_m]
[name_m]Declan[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Declan[/name_m] [name_m]Anthony[/name_m]
[name_m]Declan[/name_m] [name_m]Aaron[/name_m]
[name_m]Declan[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_u]Sage[/name_u]
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_u]Lee[/name_u]
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]Don[/name_m]

I think [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] needs a substantial middle
[name_u]Flynn[/name_u] [name_m]Anthony[/name_m]
[name_u]Flynn[/name_u] [name_m]Morrison[/name_m] ? <-- I like the ‘son’ ending with Flynn
Flynn Sullivan
Flynn Zachary
Flynn Christopher

Thank you ladies! I loved-

[name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_u]Finch[/name_u]
[name_u]Flynn[/name_u] [name_m]Hawthorne[/name_m]
[name_m]Declan[/name_m] [name_m]Luke[/name_m]
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] (I actually suggested this to DH last night and he said no :frowning:
[name_u]Flynn[/name_u] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]
[name_m]Declan[/name_m] [name_m]Joel[/name_m]

One of my favorite TV shows, Parenthood, had this minor character named [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_u]Roan[/name_u] (not sure of spelling but sounds like Rohn- I imagine it spelled Rhon but that’s not a real name) and it makes me swoon! But the character was awful and so DH doesn’t want to use it.

So after some research, the characters name was actually [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]Rome[/name_m]. Which I don’t like it all. Any idea if there is a name that sounds like [name_m]Rome[/name_m] but with an ‘n’?

[name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_u]Everett[/name_u]? I love [name_u]Jameson[/name_u] and [name_u]Everett[/name_u] together!

Not a fan of [name_u]Everett[/name_u]. We are pretty sold on our top three names :slight_smile:

[name_u]Flynn[/name_u] [name_m]Barnabas[/name_m],or [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] [name_m]Adam[/name_m],

[name_m]Declan[/name_m] [name_m]Uriah[/name_m], or [name_m]Declan[/name_m] [name_u]Elisha[/name_u],

[name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]David[/name_m] or [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]Nathanial[/name_m]

[name_f]Do[/name_f] you like [name_m]Roman[/name_m]? I think [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]Roman[/name_m] sounds awesome!

I don’t mind [name_m]Roman[/name_m], but I actually know a few, so I don’t think I’d use it! I decided against [name_u]Roan[/name_u] as well, due to the horse association. So, back to square one :confused:

DH said he didn’t mind [name_m]Luke[/name_m] as a middle. But all I can think of is how my mom said she things it sounds like ‘puke’. So not sure about that either!!

So I came up with [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]Warren[/name_m] and DH gave it a pretty positive ‘maybe’. I am in love :slight_smile:

Now just need middles for [name_m]Declan[/name_m] and [name_u]Flynn[/name_u]! I love ‘n’ endings, which aren’t matching with these two :confused:

[name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_u]Finch[/name_u] is amazing to me. [name_u]Jameson[/name_u] & [name_m]Oliver[/name_m]. Loving that!
