We have recently found out that we are having a baby boy! We are so excited for him to arrive, but are stuggling for names. We have a huge list of maybes. What are your opinions on these?
Some extra info:
Our surname is McLaughlan
We already have a daughter named [name]Emmi[/name] [name]Jayne[/name]
We want the middle name to be [name]Michael[/name]
[name]Sebastian[/name] (neither of us like the nn [name]Seb[/name]) – I like [name]Sebastian[/name] with the middle and last names. You don’t have to use the nn [name]Seb[/name]. You could do Bass, [name]Bastian[/name], Bast, Tian, [name]Ian[/name], Sebby, [name]Ash[/name] (a stretch), [name]Baz[/name], [name]Set[/name], [name]Bet[/name], [name]Sian[/name]…
[name]Matthew[/name] (Too many M’s?) – I do think this is too many M’s but not everyone will be bothered by it.
[name]Oliver[/name] ([name]Ollie[/name]) - like it! [name]Emmi[/name] & [name]Ollie[/name]. My favorite for you.
[name]Christian[/name] - I like this name but really don’t like the nickname [name]Chris[/name] so it would be out for me as a first name.
[name]Henry[/name] - like very much, but [name]Emmi[/name] & [name]Henry[/name]… I’m not sure.
[name]Beckett[/name] - seems a bit much with your last name.
[name]Jonah[/name] - I have a bad association with it but I think [name]Jonah[/name] [name]Michael[/name] Mclaughlan sounds good.
[name]Logan[/name] - I know many people like it but to me it is a “90’s name” and just holds no interest, same as [name]Dylan[/name].
[name]Damien[/name] - Better than [name]Logan[/name].
[name]Benjamin[/name] - [name]Benjamin[/name] McLaughlan…a bit rhymey.
[name]Edwin[/name] ([name]Eddie[/name]) - ditto
[name]Lincoln[/name] ([name]Link[/name]) - ditto
[name]Sawyer[/name] - is ok
[name]Rhett[/name] - No love for [name]Rhett[/name] from me - makes me think of retching.
[name]Jude[/name] - ok
[name]Phineas[/name] (Phin?) - very different stylewise from [name]Emmi[/name] [name]Jayne[/name]
[name]Cooper[/name] - ok
[name]Nicholas[/name] - ok
[name]Nathan[/name] ([name]Nate[/name]?) - [name]Emmi[/name] & [name]Nate[/name] is cute! although you do have the repetition again with [name]Nathan[/name] McLaughlan, if that matters to you.
[name]Elliot[/name] - like it for you.
[name]Dominic[/name] - [name]Emmi[/name] & [name]Dominic[/name] seem quite different stylewise as well. Not that this is always a bad thing! [name]Just[/name] sayin’.
[name]Liam[/name] - [name]Emmi[/name] & [name]Liam[/name] sound too close for me.
[name]Chase[/name] - may be a little dated for some, but [name]Chase[/name] McLaughlan works.
I’ll start with saying [name]Matthew[/name] [name]Michael[/name] McLaughlan would be way too much but I do like [name]Sebastian[/name] [name]Michael[/name] McLaughlan! Also, I know four [name]Sebastian[/name]'s and none of them go by [name]Seb[/name] at all, one goes by [name]Bastian[/name] but the others by their full first name.
[name]Beckett[/name] McLaughlan seems too last namey, while [name]Logan[/name] and [name]Liam[/name] seem very L heavy with your last name.
[name]Oliver[/name] ([name]Ollie[/name]) - [name]Love[/name] this name but it may be too long with McLaughlan
[name]Christian[/name] - same ending with your surname
[name]Henry[/name] - A great name but it rhymes with [name]Emmy[/name]
[name]Beckett[/name] - Too harsh [name]Jonah[/name] - This is handsome gem from the Bible
[name]Logan[/name] - Too trendy and same ending as your surname
[name]Damien[/name] - See [name]Christian[/name]
[name]Benjamin[/name] - Too long and same ending as surname
[name]Edwin[/name] ([name]Eddie[/name]) - See [name]Christian[/name]
[name]Lincoln[/name] ([name]Link[/name]) - See [name]Christian[/name] [name]Sawyer[/name] - OK but it’s a trendy name. It does suit the more casual [name]Emmy[/name] [name]Jayne[/name] quite well. [name]Rhet[/name]t - If you can get past the “Gone with the Wind” association, this name sounds good with your surname as well as [name]Emmy[/name]. [name]Jude[/name] - my favourite name on your list. [name]How[/name] cool is [name]Jude[/name] McLaughlan? Pretty awesome.
[name]Phineas[/name] (Phin?) - I like the name but it’s longish.
[name]Cooper[/name]- A trendy occupational name. I prefer [name]Sawyer[/name].
[name]Nicholas[/name] - Great name but too long with your surname
[name]Nathan[/name] ([name]Nate[/name]?) - See [name]Christian[/name]
[name]Elliot[/name] - Not a fan
[name]Dominic[/name] - Wonderful name but too long with your last name. However, [name]Nick[/name] [name]McLaughlin[/name] wouldn’t be bad at all.
[name]Liam[/name] - Popular and similar ending with your surname. Too many l’s. [name]Chase[/name] - Trendy but sounds ok with your surname.
