Me and my husband are trying to have a baby so I’ve created a list of names we both like. I need help with what names are good and what names are bad. Any recommendations of other names you think I would like are welcomed. For my girls list I did include two middle names but for my boy list I’m only including one middle name is that weird/awkward? Or do you think that would matter. Here are the names:
[name_m]Silas[/name_m] [name_u]Emerson[/name_u]
[name_m]Wolf[/name_m] [name_m]Matteo[/name_m]
[name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_u]Arlo[/name_u] [name_m]Vaughn[/name_m]
[name_u]Cairo[/name_u] [name_m]Zane[/name_m]
[name_m]Vincent[/name_m] [name_u]Kai[/name_u]
[name_m]Killian[/name_m] [name_u]Gray[/name_u]
[name_m]Zander[/name_m] [name_m]Lance[/name_m]
There are some great names here! Silas Emerson and Killian Grey are really strong names as is Wolf Matteo, although I’d personally prefer Matteo Wolf (love this combination!). Luca James and Arlo Vaughn are both really nice names and, although I don’t adore the name Vincent (I don’t at all dislike it though), Vincent Kai is an awesome name. The two names suit each other really well (Kai Vincent would be preferable for me though as I love the name Kai, although the flow isn’t as good). Cairo Zane is really interesting, and although I’ve not previously thought of Cairo as a name it does have a nice sound to it. Zander Lance is probably my least favourite, only because I dislike the name Lance. I like Zander though (prefer Xander), and think something like Zander Fox, Zander Finn, Zander Kai or Zander Jem would be perfect.
Some other names/combos you may like (using some of your choices and adding some new options):
Bastian Cairo
Kai Stellan
Lucian Wolf
August James
Cyrus Arlo
Alastair Vincent
Matteo Grey (or Matteo Wolf)
Atticus Vaughn
Felix Henry
Rory Killian
Hugo Zander
Roman Luca
BTW, I don’t think it matters at all that your choices for girls have two middles but you’ve only got one for your boy combos.
I love: [name_m]Silas[/name_m] [name_u]Emerson[/name_u], [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] [name_m]Vaughn[/name_m] and [name_m]Killian[/name_m] [name_u]Gray[/name_u]!!
For now, I would focus on choosing only the first name as it is how he will be known and you want one you love with your last name, without the distraction of trying to also find a middle flowing, etc. at this time. [name_f]IMO[/name_f], I think when it is settled it is then easier to choose a middle. You have a really nice list. My favourites are the first five listed which are [name_m]Silas[/name_m], [name_m]Wolf[/name_m], [name_u]Arlo[/name_u], [name_u]Luca[/name_u], and [name_u]Cairo[/name_u] and assuming they all sound equally nice with your last name.
[name_m]Silas[/name_m] [name_u]Emerson[/name_u] I like this, Flows well, solid and they balance each other out on the different styles
[name_m]Wolf[/name_m] [name_m]Matteo[/name_m] I don’t dislike this but I would switch the first and middle
[name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] love it
[name_u]Arlo[/name_u] [name_m]Vaughn[/name_m] be aware of noteworthy namesake like Gutherie & The animated dinosaur from a pixar film. I don’t really like the middle though.
[name_u]Cairo[/name_u] [name_m]Zane[/name_m] [name_u]Cairo[/name_u] is fun if you have a connection, less so if you just like it, but I think I like it if you’ve got a reason, I’m hesitant of location names as a rule though. I like the middle.
[name_m]Vincent[/name_m] [name_u]Kai[/name_u] this one is interesting, lots of difference in the styles again, I don’t dislike it.
[name_m]Killian[/name_m] [name_u]Gray[/name_u] this is a little much for me… I think of [name_u]Dorian[/name_u] [name_u]Gray[/name_u] and with the beginning of the first name I just think I don’t like them together, but paired with different names is ok.
[name_m]Zander[/name_m] [name_m]Lance[/name_m] I like it but like zander better than lance.
Thoughts…
Mostly you’re using one syllable middles and 2 syllable first
I think that’s nice and adds some uniformity.
You seem to like the o ending which is fun, I would choose your fav of those if you’re looking to narrow things down later
Check initials and the flow with the surname, both names and just first and last.
[name_u]Love[/name_u] your style! Such great combos!
[name_m]Silas[/name_m] [name_u]Emerson[/name_u] - [name_u]LOVE[/name_u]!
[name_m]Wolf[/name_m] [name_m]Matteo[/name_m] - I don’t love wolf as a first name, I prefer [name_m]Matteo[/name_m] [name_m]Wolf[/name_m]
[name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] - not a fan of [name_u]James[/name_u], it’s too common for my taste, but it’s a nice combo
[name_u]Arlo[/name_u] [name_m]Vaughn[/name_m] - love!
[name_u]Cairo[/name_u] [name_m]Zane[/name_m] - too trendy in my opinion
[name_m]Vincent[/name_m] [name_u]Kai[/name_u] - nice, love [name_u]Kai[/name_u]
[name_m]Killian[/name_m] [name_u]Gray[/name_u] - so handsome!!
