Our second son is due in less than a month ([name_u]June[/name_u] 27th) and we cannot choose a name. Our first is [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m]. Which I loved for a long time and now every name I hear just pales in comparison.
I tend to like a more unusual/unpopular name. As a teacher of 14 years, I am a little picky. We’d like to use either [name_m]Edward[/name_m] or [name_m]Louis[/name_m] as a middle name, after my husband’s grandfather.
Some names we’ve been discussing include, [name_u]Casey[/name_u], [name_m]Lincoln[/name_m], [name_m]Landen[/name_m], [name_u]Corbin[/name_u], and [name_u]Henley[/name_u]. A few names I love but can’t use because of friends or family include, [name_m]Emmitt[/name_m], [name_m]Wyatt[/name_m], and [name_m]Marshall[/name_m].
I’m the same way. Having worked with children majority of my career, I have weird name aversions/associations. I do, however, love [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m].
[name_u]Elliott[/name_u] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] and _____ [name_m]Louis[/name_m]/[name_m]Edward[/name_m].
Of your choices, I like [name_u]Corbin[/name_u] best. [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] & [name_u]Corbin[/name_u] [name_m]Louis[/name_m] seem perfect together.
Other suggestions:
[name_m]Gavin[/name_m]
[name_m]Tobias[/name_m]
[name_m]Wyatt[/name_m]
[name_m]Holden[/name_m]
[name_u]Reese[/name_u]
[name_u]Hudson[/name_u]
I love the name [name_u]Elliot[/name_u], but the husbands best friends last name is [name_u]Elliot[/name_u].
So we named our son [name_m]Lincoln[/name_m], and we absolutely love it as well as 90% of the people we know.
The other 10%, well, I am sure their names are just superior.
[name_m]Drake[/name_m] was the first name that came to mind. Its not common and would work well with [name_m]Edward[/name_m] or [name_m]Louis[/name_m].
Other options
[name_m]Dashiell[/name_m]
[name_m]Declan[/name_m]
[name_m]Marcus[/name_m]
[name_u]Campbell[/name_u]
[name_m]Garrett[/name_m]
[name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m]
[name_m]Cormac[/name_m]
[name_u]August[/name_u]
From your shortlist, I love [name_m]Lincoln[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]! Very handsome, familiar, yet shouldn’t be too common.
I also like the suggestions of [name_m]Holden[/name_m] and [name_m]Declan[/name_m].
I will add:
[name_m]Griffin[/name_m]
[name_m]Gabriel[/name_m]
[name_m]Deacon[/name_m]
[name_m]Foster[/name_m]
[name_m]Desmond[/name_m]
[name_m]Pierce[/name_m]
