[name_m]Hi[/name_m] everyone, I’ve posted previous on a similar topic a while back. I’ve recently found out I’m pregnant so the hunt for names is well and truly on!
My husband and I totally disagree on boys’ names. He likes either Biblical names (despite neither of us being religious) like [name_m]Jebediah[/name_m], [name_m]Isaac[/name_m], [name_m]Elijah[/name_m], or modern names (think [name_m]Hendrix[/name_m], [name_m]Tex[/name_m], [name_u]Beau[/name_u]). I don’t MIND some of these names but really my heart isn’t in it.
I like classic, traditional names [name_m]Patrick[/name_m], [name_m]George[/name_m] and [name_m]Edward[/name_m] and old grandpa names like [name_m]Alfred[/name_m], [name_m]Wilfred[/name_m], [name_u]Laurence[/name_u], [name_m]Rupert[/name_m]. I want my sibset to sound like they are out of a [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_u]Austen[/name_u] novel. He thinks these are too fuddy duddy for a boy.
I also like Celtic names with some history like [name_u]Rory[/name_u], [name_u]Sullivan[/name_u], [name_m]Hamish[/name_m] and [name_m]Callum[/name_m] and we have had some agreement on this style of name.
On girls names we are on the same page. We have a two-year-old, [name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f]Arabella[/name_f], and if this baby is a girl she will be called either [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] or [name_f]Millicent[/name_f].
Please help! I want to find a name I love rather than compromise on a name I am not too sure about.

Wow, that’s a challenge! But in a way, all those styles open up a lot of possibilities. My thoughts:
You could pick a fuddy-duddy first and a modern middle (or the other way 'round), but I have a feeling that would leave one of you unsatisfied. So here are some other options…
You could go with an old, classic name that’s also trending right now, so it feels more contemporary and not so fuddy-duddy:
Alexander
Anthony
Edwin
Elliot/Elliott
Felix
Harvey
Henry
Jasper
Julian
Lucian
Marco
Maximus
Oliver
Rocco
Tristan
Victor
Wesley
Or a modern name (or at least modern as a first) that has a traditional or romantic feel:
Dash
Dax
Henley
Lennox
Maddox
Ryder
Walker
Wilder
Xander
Or a Biblical name that’s not so Jedidiah-sounding:
Elias
Jesse
Jude
Reuben
Seth
Silas
Or a Celtic name that’s timeless but not stuffy:
Bowen
Brennan
Cedric
Cillian
Connor
Evander
Finnian
Flynn
Ivor
Or a combination. Here are some I like with Grace Arabella:
Anthony Flynn
Cillian Jasper
Edwin Maddox
Elias Oliver
Elliott Dash
Flynn Alexander
Harvey Bowen
Henley Jude
Ivor Lennox
Julian Flynn
Lucian Wilder
Silas Walker
Tristan Wilder
Victor Reuben
I hope this gives you some inspiration! You could always compromise via nickname, too.
