Boy Names

Briggs sound close to the name or just Brigid
(My grandma was Scottish descendent and the middle names of her children were her maiden name Henderson, if you wanted to keep Brigid)

Romy (or Rome / Roman) is like a shortened version of ROseMarY
Maurice similar to Maura
Martin
Brandt
Grant
Bridger
Ma(u)rio

Thanks for taking the time to puzzle out names with similar letters! I never would have thought of [name_m]Truman[/name_m] or [name_m]Laurence[/name_m] but I really like them now.

23

That’s a good idea – I could bring my mom in on the naming and see if there are any names she loves.

24

I think initials are a great idea. That gives us more flexibility than sound-alikes, too.

Never would have thought of [name_m]Morley[/name_m], but now it’s growing on me!

26

Thanks for taking the time to research name meanings! That’s a good way to go that I hadn’t thought of.

27

Wow, I might take the name [name_m]Martin[/name_m] [name_m]Basil[/name_m] in its entirety! [name_f]Love[/name_f] that so much!

28

Then I could have an [name_m]Arty[/name_m] and a [name_m]Marty[/name_m]! Too cute. The anagram idea is really creative!

29

Ooh, [name_m]Breccan[/name_m]! Never heard that name but I like it!

Thanks for your help, everyone! I knew you all would have great ideas! You’ve helped me make quite the list now. Sorry I’m just replying to you all now a month later. I put this post up right after I found out my baby is a boy, and then needed a little space before I was ready to return to it in earnest. Now I’m feeling better about having two boys and excited to name my little one.

I appreciate you all! :heart:[name_f][/name_f] :heart:
