[name_m]Hi[/name_m]! I’ve been obsessing over naming our baby since I found out I was pregnant. I’m still in my first trimester and feel we have narrowed down our boys list. Please help me decide what fits best if we have a boy!
Our daughters are [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] [name_f]Linn[/name_f]éa and [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] [name_u]True[/name_u].
His middle name will be [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]. Our last name is similar to Goodman. He will be a blonde haired, blue eyed baby if he looks like his parents and sibs!
We both like:
[name_m]Hugh[/name_m]
[name_m]Conrad[/name_m]
[name_m]Miles[/name_m]
[name_m]Graham[/name_m] (My DH needs more convincing)
On the fence:
[name_m]Leo[/name_m]
[name_m]Louis[/name_m] (pronounced either way)
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m]
I adore [name_m]Graham[/name_m] and [name_m]Miles[/name_m], love [name_m]Conrad[/name_m] and [name_m]Hugh[/name_m]. I feel neutral about [name_m]Leo[/name_m], [name_m]Louis[/name_m], and [name_m]Hugo[/name_m].
Thank you for your feedback lovemysweeties! Out of [name_m]Graham[/name_m], [name_m]Miles[/name_m], [name_m]Conrad[/name_m] and [name_m]Hugh[/name_m] which sounds best with sibling names, middle name and last name in your opinion?
I think all four go well with your daughter’s names. With [name_m]Thomas[/name_m], my first choice would be [name_m]Graham[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m], followed by [name_m]Conrad[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] and [name_m]Hugh[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]. [name_m]Miles[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] slurs a bit for me. [name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_m]Milo[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]?
[name_m]Louis[/name_m] ([name_m]Louie[/name_m]) [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] sounds awesome!
[name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] [name_f]Linn[/name_f]éa, [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] [name_u]True[/name_u] and [name_m]Louis[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] sounds really good. All very classic names too.
I personally don’t like [name_m]Conrad[/name_m] but with his sisters names it sounds good. [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f], [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] and [name_m]Conrad[/name_m].
I like [name_m]Graham[/name_m] more than [name_m]Conrad[/name_m] but then you would have [name_m]Graham[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] and [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] [name_u]True[/name_u]. Both would have G.T initials. Not sure if that makes a difference though. Grahm is a cute nickname though.
OOooo. I love ALL your choices! I think I’ll just have to put them in order because it’s hard to veto any of them (except maybe [name_m]Hugo[/name_m], see explanation below).
[name_m]Louis[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]–I agree with a previous poster that the [name_m]Louie[/name_m] pronunciation sounds fantastic with [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] and [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]! It also avoids the repeated ‘s’ sound at the end of [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]. The [name_m]Lewis[/name_m] pronunciation works well with the siblings too, it’s just not as exciting as [name_m]Louie[/name_m].
[name_m]Hugh[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]–[name_m]Hugh[/name_m] is probably my very favorite name. It feels both light and solid, artistic and stalwart to me. I’ve found very few names work as a middle after it, but [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] seems to fit. My only qualm is that I personally don’t imagine a [name_m]Hugh[/name_m] being blond haired and blue eyed. It’s more of a brown-hair name to me. But maybe that’s because I know so few Hughs, and I wouldn’t let that stop you!
[name_m]Miles[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]–I’m not super sold on the double ‘s’ endings to [name_m]Miles[/name_m] and [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] but [name_m]Miles[/name_m] does sound good with [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] and [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]! [name_m]Miles[/name_m] brings to mind a flexible, easy-going personality to me. I’m imagining a baby who is pretty calm in the womb, not kicking all the time.
[name_m]Conrad[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]–Now [name_m]Conrad[/name_m] is a definite blond name to me! With it’s strong consonants, it’s the heaviest name of your list. I’d imagine an energetic (i.e. LOTS OF KICKING!) and solid baby boy and child.
[name_m]Graham[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]–I really love the name [name_m]Graham[/name_m] (pronounced [name_m]Gram[/name_m]), but think the other names sound better with your daughters and I’m not sold on the G.G. initials.
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]–[name_m]Leo[/name_m] is my least favorite name on your list. It’s a bit ho-hum after the other options.
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]–I think [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] sounds great but [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] Goodman (with the repeated ‘g’ sound) is a bit of a mouthful.
Thank you for all the feedback! It’s so nice to get other’s opinions other than family/close friends as I’m not ready to hear their feedback yet. Haha! Keep your favorites and explanations coming!
My husband is s leaning toward Conrad the most at this point. My only concern is that it might sound too serious/be too big a mouthful of a name. Miles feels the opposite, but may feel too bland for us. I took Hugo and Leo off the list.
I think [name_m]Louis[/name_m] (pronounce [name_m]Louie[/name_m]) sounds like it goes best with your daughters names. It is not my favorite name, but it definitely matches the “style” of their names best. [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] works, as well, I think.
Of the names you listed, [name_m]Graham[/name_m] and [name_m]Miles[/name_m] are my favorites. I don’t think [name_m]Miles[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] sounds bad at all, despite the repeated “s” sounds. I actually think it has a very nice flow. [name_m]Graham[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] is a bit halting to me, but not bad enough that it doesn’t work. I don’t think [name_m]Conrad[/name_m] or [name_m]Hugh[/name_m] sound like they go with your daughters names, at all.
Overall, while I like some of the names, they just don’t seem to fit with your daughters names to me. Your daughters have weighty, elegant, almost royal or rich names. I just don’t feel that any of the boys names match that. Not that they aren’t good names, of course. If it were me, I would maybe consider names like [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m], [name_m]Henry[/name_m] (short, but still quite royal) or [name_m]Jasper[/name_m]. But that’s me. =] If you’re loving one of the names you listed, totally go for it!
