Help! Tough last name

[morgance]

Hi all! My last name is so hard to find good names for. It starts with Em- so I have trouble using any names that end in vowels, especially -a. My husband and I absolutely CANNOT agree on boy names. We have a daughter, Blair, which we love because it’s not so uncommon that people have never heard it, but it’s not commonly used today. We LOVE a name that has good initials - our daughter is BEE and the name we picked for a boy (Asher [we picked this as a decoy name to share as our “chosen boy name” with people since we knew she was a girl but were not sharing the sex - but we’re not in love with the name]) would have had the initials ACE. Fun initials are not a requirement, but a major bonus!

If you have any suggestions for good boy names that don’t end in a vowel (or end in a way that sounds good with Em-), would go well with Blair, and fall into that same “I’ve heard it before but I don’t hear it every day” kind of category, please share! Open to girl name suggestions too!

Names one of us likes but the other doesn’t/too many people we know have used it: Theodore, Rowan, Alexander, Marshall, Calder, Atlas, Dane
