Help! Name for 2 Week Baby Boy

Boy Names
1

Hello Berries!

My husband and I are having a terrible time naming our 2 week old baby boy. We have a family name that will be used for his middle name - [name]Cruz[/name], but cannot find common ground on a first name. Our last name starts with an “O”.

We both strongly dislike each other’s top pick. Husband - [name]Brennan[/name]; Me - [name]Beckett[/name]. This leaves us trying to comprise which is what we ended up doing with our first son and now we have name remorse. Our first son is [name]Aston[/name] [name]Cole[/name]. We call him [name]Cole[/name].

My top picks:

[name]Miles[/name]
[name]Archer[/name]
[name]Maxwell[/name]

Husband:

[name]Breccan[/name]
[name]Walker[/name]
[name]Colton[/name]

Im not sure what would work with my first son’s name and what would work with [name]Cruz[/name]. Any comments/suggestions would be much appreciated. Thank you!!!

I would avoid another name that ends similar to [name]Aston[/name] ([name]Breccan[/name], [name]Colton[/name] - too similar to [name]Cole[/name]). [name]Archer[/name] shares the same initial as your older son, [name]Miles[/name] [name]Cruz[/name] isn’t ideal and I’m not a fan of [name]Walker[/name]. So that leaves [name]Maxwell[/name] [name]Cruz[/name] which is my favourite of your lists.

[name]Bennett[/name] [name]Cruz[/name]

[name]Everett[/name] [name]Cruz[/name]

[name]Wesley[/name] [name]Cruz[/name]

[name]Aston[/name] [name]Cole[/name] has a faintly preppy vibe (especially given [name]Aston[/name] [name]Martin[/name], the luxury car maker). I actually think you and your husband aren’t far off from each other, in that you’ve both favored occupational names like [name]Archer[/name] or [name]Walker[/name], preppy names like [name]Colton[/name] or [name]Miles[/name], and seem to like 2-syllable names. I actually think any name you suggested would work well with [name]Aston[/name] [name]Cole[/name] “Olivera” & _ [name]Cruz[/name] “Olivera.”

Since [name]Cole[/name] & [name]Cruz[/name] are both 1-syllable names starting with C, I wouldn’t copy [name]Aston[/name] and give another A name.

Some thoughts:

[name]Bennett[/name]
[name]Brendan[/name]
[name]Donovan[/name]
[name]Foster[/name]
[name]Harmon[/name]
[name]Kellan[/name]
[name]Marshall[/name]
[name]Miller[/name]
[name]Mitchell[/name]
[name]Nolan[/name]
[name]Palmer[/name]
[name]Rory[/name]
Seaver
[name]Stanton[/name]
[name]Truman[/name]
[name]Wallace[/name]
[name]Wilson[/name]

It seem like you have kind of a preppy style, while your husband favors cowboyish names.
Here’s some names that I think sort of bridge the gap:

[name]Brendan[/name]
[name]Cooper[/name]
[name]Dante[/name]
Deacan
[name]Destry[/name]
[name]Evan[/name]
[name]Elliott[/name]
[name]Finley[/name]
[name]Gideon[/name]
[name]Grant[/name]
[name]Ian[/name]
[name]Justice[/name]
[name]Lyle[/name]
[name]Laramie[/name]
[name]Lucas[/name]
[name]Luca[/name]
[name]Mason[/name]
[name]Noe[/name] (No-ee)
[name]Noel[/name]
[name]Neville[/name]
[name]Orville[/name]
[name]Wyatt[/name]
[name]Winston[/name]

My first thought was [name]Breccan[/name], as its a mix of the two. Though, it’s a little rhymey with [name]Aston[/name].

Suggestions:
[name]Lyle[/name]
[name]Niall[/name]
[name]Graham[/name]
[name]Grant[/name]
[name]Barrett[/name]
[name]Torin[/name]
[name]Rhett[/name]
[name]Drake[/name]
[name]Jared[/name]
[name]Preston[/name]
[name]Baylor[/name]
[name]Lucas[/name]

[name]Brennan[/name] + [name]Beckett[/name] = [name]Bennett[/name] (or [name]Breccan[/name]) as others have said. [name]Bennett[/name] [name]Cruz[/name] sounds great to me. [name]Ben[/name] & [name]Cole[/name]! Cute!
