Help Us Name Our Twins

Boy Names
1

Hello everyone! My name is [name]Mariah[/name] [name]Wheeler[/name] and I am new to Nameberry so I am not exactly sure where to begin. My DH and I recently found out we are having twins and this is our first pregnancy :slight_smile: We do not know the sexes yet and we are not sure yet if we want to or not. We are very excited and cannot wait to find the names. DH and I are both history professors and extremely fascinated by the Old [name]West[/name], Westward Expansion, and just the Pioneer Times in general. We want names to reflect this. So give us your best Pioneer names!

Thanks!

Yay history professors! Obviously, that is my major :wink: I am a junior (undergrad) and plan on going for my graduate degree once I’m done. [name]Don[/name]'t think I’ll be a teacher, though. American history is my favorite, and I plan on taking a class called The American [name]West[/name] next semester!

Anyways, on to names…

These names give me an “old west” or “colonial” vibe:

[name]Thaddeus[/name]
[name]Charles[/name]
[name]Robert[/name]
[name]George[/name]
[name]William[/name]
[name]Jesse[/name]
[name]James[/name]
[name]John[/name]/[name]Jonathan[/name]
[name]Roy[/name]
[name]Abraham[/name]
[name]Benjamin[/name]
[name]Elijah[/name]

Also, here is a list of names that someone found while looking up Civil War records. They’re from [name]Indiana[/name], but they probably still give a good look at the naming styles back in that time.

That’s all I got! Btw, congrats!
