My husband and I can’t find a name we love for our new baby boy! We have only three weeks, and so far we have a few contenders. Current siblings are Ramona and Jack. We like vintage sounding names, and I want something unique but not crazy. We’d like to try and avoid ending in N or E but not necessary. So far our top names are:
Arthur nn Archie
Harvey
Corbin
Wilson
Vincent nn Vinnie
Patrick
Edward nn Eddie
i really like [name_u]Vinnie[/name_u] with [name_f]Romona[/name_f] and Jack!!
other ideas:
[name_m]Wells[/name_m]
[name_u]Griffin[/name_u]
[name_m]Henry[/name_m]
[name_u]Noah[/name_u]
[name_m]Vance[/name_m]
[name_m]Evander[/name_m]
[name_m]Benji[/name_m]
[name_u]Elliott[/name_u]
[name_u]Brooks[/name_u]
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m] nn Archie-Arthur & [name_m]Archie[/name_m] are both darling names. But why not [name_u]Archer[/name_u] nn [name_m]Archie[/name_m]? [name_u]Or[/name_u] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] nn [name_m]Artie[/name_m]? Either one of those would make more sense in my opinion.
Harvey-It’s not my cup of tea, but it’s not awful & unique but well known. I just always thought that it had sort of a goofy feeling.
Corbin-I don’t mind it, but it does feel more modern. [name_u]Corbin[/name_u] & [name_m]Jack[/name_m] are still pretty cute for brothers.
Wilson-That’s nice. Charming & friendly & a little geeky in a cute way. Simple & well known, but not popular.
[name_m]Vincent[/name_m] nn Vinnie-Some days I like this, & some days it feels a bit mob boss.
Patrick-I love [name_m]Patrick[/name_m]. Such a handsome classic. Kind of Irish next to the more exotic [name_f]Ramona[/name_f], but really not a problem. I like [name_m]Jack[/name_m] & [name_m]Patrick[/name_m] for brothers a lot.
[name_m]Edward[/name_m] nn Eddie-That’s a good solid choice & fits in w/your crew. I also like the nn [name_u]Teddy[/name_u].
OK I like [name_m]Jack[/name_m] fine but absolutely LOVE [name_f]Ramona[/name_f]. What a great name!!
Of your options, I think I like [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] the best - it fits the sort of vibe that you’re going for really well and sounds distinct from [name_m]Jack[/name_m] and [name_f]Ramona[/name_f].
You might also like (please consider any repeats as seconds):
[name_m]Peter[/name_m]
[name_m]Isaac[/name_m]
[name_m]Jeremy[/name_m]
[name_m]Simon[/name_m]
[name_m]Louis[/name_m] or [name_m]Lewis[/name_m]
[name_m]Seamus[/name_m]
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m] nn [name_m]Archie[/name_m] is adorable with [name_f]Ramona[/name_f] & [name_m]Jack[/name_m]. I also love [name_f]Ramona[/name_f] & [name_m]Jack[/name_m] with [name_m]Harvey[/name_m], [name_m]Vincent[/name_m], [name_m]Patrick[/name_m] & [name_m]Edward[/name_m]!
I think [name_m]Harvey[/name_m], [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] or [name_m]Edward[/name_m] work best though!
With [name_f]Ramona[/name_f] and [name_m]Jack[/name_m], I lover [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] nn [name_m]Archie[/name_m], [name_m]Patrick[/name_m], and [name_m]Edward[/name_m] nn [name_m]Eddie[/name_m]!
Other suggestions (sorry in advance for any repeats):
[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_u]Vinnie[/name_u] as well as Theo/Teddy! I also like [name_m]Henry[/name_m] with [name_f]Ramona[/name_f] and [name_m]Jack[/name_m], but I think [name_u]Vinnie[/name_u] and [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] are my favorites
Thank you for the ideas! I like a lot of them but we both have BIG families that have used many of these or variations. Lawrence will actually be LO’s middle name! I appreciate all the input! It’s nice hearing thoughts from non-family members.
DH doesn’t love Archer for Archie but can get behind Arthur nn Archie. He loves Vincent but I agree that sometimes it feels mob boss! Lol I also agree about Jack and Patrick and wonder if Patrick fits as well with Ramona. Any thoughts on the nn Patch for Patrick for our sibset?
Simon is another one a few suggested we like, and it has major family ties, but it doesn’t sound great with our surname - I just hate to toss it out though.
