We are having a baby boy in [name_u]March[/name_u] and are totally stumped for names. Our daughters are [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] [name_f]Susan[/name_f] and [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]. We are playing around with [name_m]Hugo[/name_m], [name_m]Walter[/name_m], [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] or [name_m]Wells[/name_m]. We are looking for names that are strong and classic, not too trendy. Also, [name_u]Baby[/name_u] Boy’s big sisters both have red curly hair so there is a good chance our little guy will have the same. I am trying to imagine what name will work for a red headed teenage boy! Thoughts on the names above?
I like [name_m]Walter[/name_m] & [name_m]Oscar[/name_m]
Would you consider [name_m]Walden[/name_m]? I could see it on a cute ginger boy.
[name_m]Walden[/name_m] [name_m]Russell[/name_m]
[name_m]Walden[/name_m] [name_u]Tate[/name_u]
[name_m]Walden[/name_m] [name_u]Everett[/name_u]
[name_m]Walden[/name_m] [name_u]Reid[/name_u]
[name_m]Walden[/name_m] [name_m]Oscar[/name_m]
[name_m]Walden[/name_m] [name_m]Hugh[/name_m]
I like [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] with your girls’ names. [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], [name_f]Jane[/name_f] and [name_m]Hugo[/name_m]. I can also picture [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] on a red-haired boy. But I think any of your options would work well.
If you want ideas for names that actually mean red-haired, there are lots of lists if you Google “red haired boy names”. Some that stand out as potentially your taste: [name_m]Jasper[/name_m], [name_u]Rowan[/name_u], [name_u]Flynn[/name_u], [name_u]Rory[/name_u], [name_m]Radley[/name_m], [name_u]Clancy[/name_u], [name_m]Rufus[/name_m].
[name_m]Walter[/name_m] is my first choice with [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] and [name_f]Jane[/name_f].
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m] is far and away my favorite with big sisters [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] and [name_f]Jane[/name_f]! I think [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], [name_f]Jane[/name_f], and [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] is perfection. ([name_m]Walter[/name_m] would also work, but I’m more keen on [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] personally!) [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] does feel rather trendy to me–[name_m]Hugo[/name_m] ranks on popularity lists in 16 different countries worldwide, although he hasn’t really moved very far from where he sits on the SSA list since 1980, so maybe it’s a lot less trendy than I got the impression it was.
I’m not sure [name_m]Wells[/name_m] fits terribly well as a classic like [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] or [name_f]Jane[/name_f] or [name_m]Oscar[/name_m], but I just love him so much that he’s my second pick. I would be tickled pink to meet a little [name_m]Wells[/name_m]!
I’d probably rank them:
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m]
[name_m]Wells[/name_m]
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m]
[name_m]Walter[/name_m]
They’re all great, and I’m massively fond of the first three, but I’m just really in love with the idea of [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], [name_f]Jane[/name_f], and [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] as siblings!
All the best!
[name_m]Walter[/name_m] and [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] would be my picks with [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] and [name_f]Jane[/name_f]. [name_m]Wells[/name_m] feels the most trendy to me and [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] is just not my style. Either would work well on a red head!
I like [name_m]Oscar[/name_m]! Other ideas …
[name_m]Calvin[/name_m]
[name_m]Edmund[/name_m]
[name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_u]Everett[/name_u]
[name_m]Felix[/name_m]
[name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]
[name_m]Trevor[/name_m]
I vote [name_m]Walter[/name_m]!
