My favorites are [name_u]Dorian[/name_u] and [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m]. I like [name_u]Dorian[/name_u] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] best, followed by [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] [name_m]Eaton[/name_m].
[name_m]Isaac[/name_m] is handsome. Here are my thoughts for #2:
[name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] (nickname [name_m]Gabe[/name_m])-This is a beautiful name, & [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] & [name_m]Gabe[/name_m] are very nice for brothers. I also love the nns [name_m]Gib[/name_m] & [name_m]Gibby[/name_m].
[name_u]August[/name_u] (nickname [name_m]Augie[/name_m] or [name_u]Gus[/name_u])-This got my vote. It’s a bit less over done than [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m], & has a similar strong yet kind old man-ish feeling as [name_m]Isaac[/name_m]. I love [name_m]Augie[/name_m] or [name_u]Gus[/name_u] too. Kind of like [name_m]Augie[/name_m] more w/[name_m]Isaac[/name_m].
[name_m]Gideon[/name_m] (nickname G or Gij)-This is okay. It’s sort of different & not a bad name at all, but I don’t personally like it as much. The nns seems a bit forced too.
[name_m]Bastian[/name_m] (nickname [name_m]Bas[/name_m])-I adore [name_m]Bastian[/name_m]. This is my second favorite. It’s very handsome & sort of artsy. I don’t like [name_m]Bas[/name_m] as much. I prefer Bash.
[name_u]Dorian[/name_u] (nickname [name_u]Rory[/name_u])-This is the only one that I don’t care for. Not sure why. It sounds a bit feminine to me. And the nn seems a little forced again.
[name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] would be perfect, but [name_m]Bastian[/name_m] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] comes in a close second.
My favourites are [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m], [name_u]August[/name_u], and [name_u]Rory[/name_u]. For some reason the sounds in [name_u]Dorian[/name_u] ([name_u]Dory[/name_u], [name_f]Ann[/name_f]) feels more feminine to me so I would go straight to [name_u]Rory[/name_u], as it is a perfectly legitimate name on its own.
I love the name [name_m]Gideon[/name_m]! I think it fits perfectly with a brother named [name_m]Isaac[/name_m], and [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] sounds very handsome. My second favorite would be [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m], also a very handsome name.
My favorite is [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m], but [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] is a close second. I would say [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] is more unexpected, but either one works nicely with [name_m]Isaac[/name_m].
[name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m]
or
[name_m]Gideon[/name_m] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m]
[name_m]Bastian[/name_m] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] or [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m]. [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] is nice, too.
I almost didn’t do the poll because I love all of them, though I’m not so keen on [name_u]Dorian[/name_u], but that’s just personal preference. I thought, what is the point of me ticking all the other four? This won’t be helpful at all! In the end I voted [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] because I think it sounds so good with [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] sounds lovely. I wouldn’t pick the other two middles because it’s very -n heavy, but they would work great with [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] or [name_u]August[/name_u].
Honestly, with these choices, I think whatever you pick you can’t go wrong! You’re a great namer.
I love [name_u]August[/name_u]/[name_u]Gus[/name_u] and [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m]/[name_m]Gabe[/name_m]. I think they sound lovely with [name_m]Isaac[/name_m].
I love the way [name_u]August[/name_u], [name_m]Gideon[/name_m], and [name_u]Dorian[/name_u] all sound with [name_m]Isaac[/name_m], but my absolute favorite of the 3 would be [name_u]Dorian[/name_u]! [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] and [name_u]Dorian[/name_u] are perfect for each other!!! (I don’t know if [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] goes by a nn, but [name_m]Zac[/name_m] and [name_u]Rory[/name_u] would be super cute together as well!)
My favorite combos are [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Eaton[/name_m], [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m], and [name_u]Dorian[/name_u] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m].
[name_u]August[/name_u] feels very versatile though, because I love it paired with [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] and [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] too. You can’t go wrong with any of these combos! So, [name_u]August[/name_u] is definitely a close second here!
I think they’re all great names - you can’t go wrong. My favourite though is definitely [name_u]August[/name_u], which I have at the top of my own list. He’s both strong, and gentle, easy to pronounce and spell, and not overly common which I think is great in a name.
