Help me choose please! Beckham, River, Brody

Hello!
First time posting… but long time lurker. I am currently pregnant with baby #2, we have pretty much settled on a girls name (girls names seem so much easier!) but we are struggling with a boy’s name. The following are names we seem to agree on, although if I had it my way I would be adding “[name_m]Holden[/name_m]” to the list. What sounds best to you:

[name_m]Beckham[/name_m] [name_u]Grey[/name_u], [name_m]Beckham[/name_m] [name_u]Shane[/name_u]
[name_u]River[/name_u] [name_m]Maverick[/name_m]
[name_m]Brody[/name_m] [name_m]Maverick[/name_m]
[name_u]Shane[/name_u] ______

Guilty pleasure name is [name_m]Holden[/name_m] [name_u]Gray[/name_u], but that’s not happening! I should mention my daughter’s name, which I am sure will be polarizing on this forum, but we love it! Her name is Jaxyn Amberly, yes we call her Jax- so we want something that would flow well. We can’t choose anything too traditional, as I recognize her name is trendy, and I am ok with that!

I am also open to middle name suggestions… so if you could kindly tell me which name you like best and middle combo I would greatly appreciate!

Our last name sounds like “[name_m]Lawyer[/name_m]”

With Jaxyn, I think [name_m]Beckham[/name_m] works best. It’s trendy, but outside the top 300. And I like [name_u]Beck[/name_u] as a possible nickname to match [name_m]Jax[/name_m].

As for middles, I think I like [name_m]Beckham[/name_m] [name_u]Shane[/name_u] just a tad more than [name_m]Beckham[/name_m] [name_u]Grey[/name_u].

Other ideas: [name_m]Beckham[/name_m] [name_u]Jude[/name_u], [name_m]Beckham[/name_m] [name_u]Chase[/name_u], [name_m]Beckham[/name_m] [name_u]Tate[/name_u]…

[name_m]Beckham[/name_m] is fantastic! [name_m]Beckham[/name_m] [name_u]Grey[/name_u] sounds awesome.

[name_m]Beckham[/name_m] [name_u]Grey[/name_u]!

Thank you! I actually also had [name_m]Beckham[/name_m] [name_u]Tate[/name_u] on the list! So that’s great reassurance! I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_u]Jude[/name_u], but trying to stay away from BJ initials… lol! The combo is so nice though!

I, too, also like [name_u]Beck[/name_u] as a nickname with [name_m]Jax[/name_m]. I thought [name_m]Brody[/name_m] may work better, but I’m happy to see [name_m]Beckham[/name_m] has been the consensus so far. It’s really helpful. Thank you all! Loving that you like [name_m]Beckham[/name_m] [name_u]Gray[/name_u], everyone!

I don’t comment ever on these forum posts, but I have a [name_m]Brody[/name_m] (he’s the most handsome 5 year old ever…no lie) and it has to be the greatest name ever :wink: He’s sweet and sporty and fun and a little feisty. The name suits him perfectly. And maybe I’m a little biased, but I personally like [name_m]Brody[/name_m] with Jaxyn. They both have five letters and a Y. I like finding commonalities between sibling names that link them without being too similar or “sing songy”. [name_m]Beckham[/name_m] is a great name too!! You’ve got good taste, girl! Good luck! Naming humans is hard stuff!!

Oh, and we call him: Bro, Bro Bro, Broski, [name_m]Brody[/name_m] Boy, Brodykins! Lots of cute nickname options!

Jennieclegg- Thank you!!! I’m really torn, love the 2 names! And the other [name_m]Brody[/name_m] I know is a super handsome little boy too :slight_smile: how perfect!!

And I love your nicknames! They are so “us!” We call Jaxyn, [name_m]Jax[/name_m], Jaxarella, Jaxy, JaxJax…

I love [name_u]River[/name_u] and [name_u]Shane[/name_u] as first names! I’m not a fan of [name_m]Brody[/name_m] mostly because it has “bro” in it which reminds me of frat boys (in a negative way). But my favorite combo on your list is [name_m]Beckham[/name_m] [name_u]Grey[/name_u], it sounds so regal and interesting.

Thank you!!! I love [name_m]Beckham[/name_m] [name_u]Grey[/name_u] too! And I feel better knowing you like [name_u]Shane[/name_u] as a first name too, as I was worried it may be too “ordinary,” but I really do love it! I’m curious, since you like both, what do you think of [name_m]Beckham[/name_m] [name_u]Shane[/name_u]? [name_f]Do[/name_f] you like [name_m]Beckham[/name_m] [name_u]Grey[/name_u] better?
