In need of backup name

We found out today that we’ll be welcoming little [name_m]Lincoln[/name_m] “[name_m]Link[/name_m]” [name_u]Everett[/name_u] into the world in [name_u]March[/name_u]. We both love the name but agree we should have a backup, just in case. I’ve proposed the other male names in my signature, and hubby isn’t into them. Looking for something with a similar style to our 1st pick.

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] and congratulations! I think you will get more replies if you try asking this question in the boy names section of the forum, but since I’m here, here are a few suggestions. First off, I love [name_m]Felix[/name_m] and [name_m]Simon[/name_m], but I guess those have been vetoed by your husband?

Going more from [name_m]Lincoln[/name_m] [name_u]Everett[/name_u]:

[name_m]Asher[/name_m] (nn [name_u]Ash[/name_u])
[name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] (nn [name_u]Max[/name_u])
[name_m]Finnley[/name_m] (nn [name_u]Finn[/name_u])

or

Collum
[name_m]Caleb[/name_m]
[name_m]Colin[/name_m]
(all these share the “c” and “l” sounds from [name_m]Lincoln[/name_m], but have less nickname possibilities…at least that I can think of)

I could see all of the above pairing with [name_u]Everett[/name_u] as a middle.

Or maybe [name_u]Everett[/name_u] as a first? [name_m]Rhett[/name_m] could be the nickname, if you want one. I also like [name_m]Beckett[/name_m] with the nn [name_u]Beck[/name_u] and [name_u]Emmett[/name_u] as similar alternatives.

We never had an alternative with our son because coming up with one combo (first and middle) that my husband and I both liked was enough of a challenge! Luckily the name we chose fit our son from the beginning. Seems like a good idea to have a backup, though, just in case :slight_smile:

[name_m]Lincoln[/name_m] [name_u]Everett[/name_u] is a great name!
