Help me love a name!

I’m finding it so hard to find a name I absolutely love that feels right for our boy due in [name_f]January[/name_f]. I’ve gone through so many temporary loves such as [name_m]Griffin[/name_m], [name_m]Morgan[/name_m], [name_m]Sawyer[/name_m], but they just don’t feel right.

We didn’t have this issue with our daughter and named her [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] which is the perfect name for her and I have no regrets 5 years later. It just felt right for her.

At the moment I’m liking [name_m]Bentley[/name_m], [name_m]Weston[/name_m], [name_m]Tanner[/name_m], but again there are no loves.

Middle name will either be [name_m]Lincoln[/name_m], [name_m]Colin[/name_m] or [name_m]James[/name_m].

Please suggest ANYTHING. I’m currently open to all styles and names. I just want to find one that I feel is perfect and I just can’t at the moment!

[name_m]Leland[/name_m] or [name_m]Linden[/name_m]?

With sis’s name that’s elegant and classic yet spunky, I would suggest:

[name_m]Percival[/name_m] [name_m]James[/name_m]
[name_m]Xavien[/name_m] [name_m]James[/name_m]

[name_m]Phineas[/name_m] [name_m]Colin[/name_m]

I’d go with something a bit more traditional with Violet :purple_heart: than Bentley. Colin could be nice as the first name. Otherwise suggest:

  • Henry
  • August
  • Miles
  • Callum
  • Finn
  • Charles
  • Edward
  • Patrick
  • Jack
  • Max
  • Leo
  • Oliver
  • Oscar
  • Owen

I think with your daughter’s name, and most of the boy names you like, they have some sharp and snappy sounds, so I went that for these ideas:

[name_m]Beck[/name_m], [name_m]Breccan[/name_m]
[name_m]Xander[/name_m], [name_m]Zade[/name_m],
[name_m]Finneas[/name_m], [name_m]Finnegan[/name_m],
[name_m]Evan[/name_m], [name_m]Ethan[/name_m], [name_m]Gervase[/name_m], [name_m]Gervais[/name_m],
[name_m]Otto[/name_m]
[name_m]Nels[/name_m]
[name_m]Merritt[/name_m], [name_m]Merrick[/name_m]
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m]
[name_m]Garnet[/name_m]
[name_m]Winston[/name_m]

With the surname vibe:
[name_f]Palmer[/name_f]
[name_m]Jensen[/name_m]
[name_m]Wilkes[/name_m], [name_m]Walker[/name_m], Wildon, [name_m]Wells[/name_m]

[name_f]Violet[/name_f] & …

[name_m]Harrison[/name_m]
[name_m]Alden[/name_m]
