We are days away from having our second child, a boy, to join his big sister, [name]Taite[/name]. We have reached an impasse with names and I’m desperate to find the ‘right’ fit. Currently on our list but not agreed upon by either myself or my husband are: [name]Sander[/name], [name]Sanders[/name], [name]Sanderson[/name], [name]Anders[/name], [name]Anderson[/name], [name]Owen[/name], [name]Caspar[/name], [name]Sebastian[/name], [name]Crawford[/name], [name]Truman[/name]. Middle name is either [name]Mitchell[/name] or [name]Page[/name] and last name is [name]Harman[/name]. Any other suggestions? Is [name]Sander[/name] a good fit or will they call him ‘[name]Sandy[/name]?’ (which we don’t like). Thanks!
My vote is for [name]Owen[/name] [name]Mitchell[/name] or [name]Sebastian[/name] [name]Page[/name]. ( I do think that [name]Sander[/name] will be called “[name]Sandy[/name]” unless he absolutely objects to being called that when he’s older. It’s so easy to want to use nicknames.)
Good luck & congrats.
[name]Sander[/name]: I like this - it’s fresh, but instantly recognisable (like [name]Taite[/name]), and strikes me as flexible - both serious and playful. [name]Sander[/name] [name]Mitchell[/name]
[name]Sanders[/name]: Same. Ooh, maybe I even like [name]Sanders[/name] a little more. Are you a [name]Winnie[/name] the Pooh fan? (the books, not the Disney disaster). [name]Remember[/name] [name]Winnie[/name] the Pooh lived “under the name of [name]Sanders[/name]”? Which is too obscure to be teasing material, but such a sweet thing for him to encounter as a littlie. [name]Sanders[/name] [name]Page[/name]
[name]Sanderson[/name] - don’t like as much. [name]Sanderson[/name] [name]Page[/name]
[name]Anders[/name] - I taught an undergrad with this name. He was a male model, wonderful tennis player, and actually very thoughtful, considerate and a good writer. An all-rounder. [name]Anders[/name] [name]Page[/name]
[name]Anderson[/name] - not for me. [name]Anderson[/name] [name]Page[/name]
[name]Owen[/name] - I have a lovely nephew called [name]Owen[/name]. It’s a gorgeous name, simple and pairs well with [name]Taite[/name]. It’s a classic sweet neverfail name. [name]Owen[/name] [name]Mitchell[/name] or [name]Owen[/name] [name]Page[/name]
[name]Caspar[/name] - I like this, but think it’s verging on hipster trendy (which I don’t mind, I guess I kind of identify with hipster naming trends). [name]Caspar[/name] [name]Page[/name]
[name]Sebastian[/name] - I love this (and actually used it as a pen name recently), but it’s quite posh to me, it would depend if you like [name]Seb[/name] (which I do). [name]Sebastian[/name] [name]Page[/name]
[name]Crawford[/name] - Nah, not for me. Though I think I see why you like it. [name]Crawford[/name] [name]Mitchell[/name]
[name]Truman[/name] - Cute. And the [name]Truman[/name] Show is a bonus for me. And [name]Taite[/name] and [name]Truman[/name] rolls nicely. [name]Truman[/name] [name]Mitchell[/name]
