Help, I fear our child will be nameless!

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].

Thanks

[name_u]Love[/name_u] both [name_m]Edward[/name_m] and [name_m]Louis[/name_m] as middle names. What about?

[name_u]Stanley[/name_u] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Edison[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m]
[name_u]Lennon[/name_u] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Harrison[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m]

I like your choices!!

I like [name_m]Landon[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m] or [name_u]Corbin[/name_u] [name_m]Louis[/name_m] the best!

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]

Good luck.

If my girl had been a boy, she would have been [name_u]Elliot[/name_u]. Her brother is [name_m]Bennett[/name_m]. So:

[name_m]Bennett[/name_m]
[name_m]Griffin[/name_m]
[name_u]Spencer[/name_u]
[name_m]Holden[/name_m]

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. :wink:

Thanks everyone! Maybe I’m just having last minute second thoughts! :slight_smile:

[name_m]Bastian[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m]
[name_u]Tristan[/name_u] [name_m]Louis[/name_m]
[name_m]Etienne[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m]
Ariston [name_m]Louis[/name_m]

[name_m]Jacoby[/name_m], [name_m]Hale[/name_m], [name_u]Toby[/name_u], [name_u]Owen[/name_u], [name_u]Barrett[/name_u], [name_u]Bo[/name_u], [name_m]Booker[/name_m], [name_m]Fisher[/name_m], [name_m]Conlan[/name_m], [name_u]Curran[/name_u], [name_u]Clancy[/name_u], [name_m]Levi[/name_m], [name_u]Jude[/name_u], [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m], [name_m]Egan[/name_m], [name_m]Eben[/name_m] / [name_u]Eban[/name_u], [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m], [name_u]Theo[/name_u], [name_m]Cashel[/name_m], [name_m]Duncan[/name_m], [name_u]Quincy[/name_u], [name_m]Gareth[/name_m], [name_m]Declan[/name_m], [name_m]Simon[/name_m], [name_u]Seth[/name_u], [name_u]Drew[/name_u].

[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]

[name_u]Elliott[/name_u] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] is GORGEOUS and I think the following three Names would work BEAUTIFULLY for his Brother:

[name_m]Lincoln[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]

[name_m]Louis[/name_m] is also a lovely Middle Name, [name_m]Edward[/name_m] just works better with these three Names, in my opinion. :slight_smile:

Bump bump bump

[name_u]Elliot[/name_u] and [name_u]Spencer[/name_u] are perfect:)

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]
