Husband’s Top 5 Versus Mine?

Boy Names
1

Husband’s:

  1. Logan (related to his love for Wolverine… My least favourite out of his picks as I know many Logans lol!)
  2. Ezra
  3. Levi
  4. Quinn
  5. Blaze (I prefer Blaise, but he does not like that spelling)

Mine:

  1. Emrys
  2. Ren (short for my dad’s name, Laurence)
  3. Archer (nn: Archie)
  4. Lennox
  5. Orion

Thoughts? We are thinking of hyphenating our last names so it would wind up being a rather long last name. Middle name will be Shawn (I can’t budge on this). Also open to other suggestions that might combine our styles.

Looking at his [name_u]Ezra[/name_u] and your [name_m]Emrys[/name_m] – [name_u]Emerson[/name_u], [name_u]Ellery[/name_u], [name_m]Esau[/name_m], [name_m]Earl[/name_m], [name_m]Erle[/name_m], [name_u]Evan[/name_u], [name_m]Evans[/name_m], [name_m]Emil[/name_m], [name_u]Eli[/name_u]?

He likes [name_u]Logan[/name_u] and [name_u]Levi[/name_u] and you like [name_u]Lennox[/name_u]. I wonder if you perused male L lists if something might strike you both. What about a version of your dad’s name of [name_u]Laurence[/name_u]? [name_u]Laurie[/name_u], [name_m]Lauro[/name_m], [name_m]Laurent[/name_m], [name_m]Lorenzo[/name_m], [name_m]Lorenzen[/name_m], [name_m]Lalo[/name_m], etc.

Re: his [name_u]Quinn[/name_u]. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you like [name_u]Quincy[/name_u] or [name_u]Quill[/name_u]?

Maybe you each need to set aside your list for now and come up with a new list of 5-10 each and see if there is overlap there?

[name_u]Ren[/name_u] for [name_u]Laurence[/name_u] is really cute, and I love [name_u]Archer[/name_u]!

From husband’s list I think [name_u]Levi[/name_u] [name_u]Shawn[/name_u] works best.
(The other options really don’t flow at all)

From your list I think [name_u]Lennox[/name_u] [name_u]Shawn[/name_u] works best.
(The other options don’t flow that well)

(Both [name_u]Levi[/name_u] and [name_u]Lennox[/name_u] could be a way to honour [name_u]Laurence[/name_u] and they would work well with potential sister names)

(Fav sibset for you guys is [name_u]Lennox[/name_u] [name_u]Shawn[/name_u] and [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] or [name_u]Levi[/name_u] [name_u]Shawn[/name_u] and [name_f]Perrie[/name_f] Lauren)

Stylistically I think I sit way more in your camp but I think there are some similarities here !

Maybe [name_u]Loren[/name_u]- Similar to [name_u]Levi[/name_u] , [name_u]Lennox[/name_u] , [name_u]Logan[/name_u] , [name_u]Ren[/name_u] and nod to your dad. Could also have the nickname [name_m]Len[/name_m].
[name_u]Loren[/name_u] [name_u]Shawn[/name_u]

[name_m]Emrys[/name_m] and [name_u]Ezra[/name_u] are great ! Maybe [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m], [name_u]Emmett[/name_u], [name_u]Ellis[/name_u], [name_u]Elon[/name_u], [name_m]Emir[/name_m],

Blaise/ [name_u]Blaze[/name_u] and [name_u]Orion[/name_u] could be [name_m]Byron[/name_m] , [name_m]Bryan[/name_m] , [name_u]Ollie[/name_u],

Thanks for the suggestions! There are definitely some names there that I like. I love [name_u]Quincy[/name_u] too! Definitely will have to go back to the drawing board a little bit :slight_smile:

Thank you! Me too!

Thanks! It’s hard when tradition comes into play. He only recently told me that’s it’s important for the baby to take the godparent’s name as a middle. I never had a godparent :joy:

Thanks so much! [name_f]My[/name_f] sister is [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] but I do love the flow of [name_u]Loren[/name_u] [name_u]Shawn[/name_u]. I suppose [name_u]Ren[/name_u] is a nod to her name as well. :slight_smile: The other suggestions are also great and definitely align with our tastes!

I love [name_u]Ezra[/name_u] and [name_u]Archer[/name_u]! [name_u]Ezra[/name_u] is definitely my favorite. Not loving [name_u]Logan[/name_u] either lol. [name_u]Orion[/name_u] is nice too but don’t love it with [name_u]Shawn[/name_u].

[name_m]Emrys[/name_m] [name_u]Shawn[/name_u], [name_u]Ezra[/name_u] [name_u]Shawn[/name_u] & [name_u]Levi[/name_u] [name_u]Shawn[/name_u] work wonderfully!!

I love [name_u]Lennox[/name_u], [name_u]Archer[/name_u] & [name_u]Orion[/name_u] as well but in my accent at least, they don’t flow well with [name_u]Shawn[/name_u]

[name_m]Lorenzo[/name_m] is a great suggestion! What about nn [name_m]Enzo[/name_m]? That’s similar to [name_u]Ezra[/name_u] so perhaps a good compromise for you two.
