Hi everyone, can I get some feedback on names please! We have been struggling so much with boy names and only have a few weeks to go now.
Names on list are:
Samson
Clemens
Dylan
Finley
Edmund/Edwin
Silas
Clarence
Hubby like the first two names the most and while I do like them, I worry that they sound bad or awkward with our surname Henderson? Our middle name choice is either Carwyn or one of the other names in the above list that we don’t choose as a first name.
Please help!
I think the repeated ‘son’ sounds a bit awkward sorry. Perhaps [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] instead of [name_m]Samson[/name_m].
[name_f]My[/name_f] favourite choice would be [name_m]Edmund[/name_m]
yep, he doesn’t think so but I agree. Unfortunately he doesn’t like [name_m]Samuel[/name_m].
I do think that Samson, Clemens and to an extent Clarence sound a bit awkward with your last name, unfortunately!
For something with a similar sound/vibe, maybe Stellan, Spencer, Simon, Soren, Casper, Cillian, Clancy or Callan?
From the other names on your list, I like Edmund the most followed up by Finley!
[name_f]My[/name_f] favorite from your list is definitely [name_m]Silas[/name_m]! I think that [name_m]Silas[/name_m] or [name_u]Dylan[/name_u] probably flow beat with [name_m]Henderson[/name_m], but I do think [name_m]Samson[/name_m] [name_m]Henderson[/name_m] works okay.
I ranked them!
[name_u]Clarence[/name_u] - This is a family name of mine and I LOVE it. It’s classic but underused (out of the top 1000 names in the USA if that’s where you’re from). I’m not crazy about it with the middle [name_m]Carwyn[/name_m] though.
Edmund/Edwin - Yes to both! The same feeling as [name_u]Clarence[/name_u], underused classics.
[name_m]Samson[/name_m] - I love the biblical story but if you don’t, be prepared for people to connect it.
[name_m]Clemens[/name_m] - A twist on [name_m]Clement[/name_m] that I think is fresh!
[name_m]Silas[/name_m] - I like this one, but I feel like it’s becoming more popular.
[name_u]Finley[/name_u] - Climbing the charts too fast for my liking.
[name_u]Dylan[/name_u] - Wayyy overused as a first. Maybe as a middle?
[name_m]Edmund[/name_m] [name_m]Clemens[/name_m] would be adorable!
The Best:
Edmund/ [name_m]Edwin[/name_m]
[name_m]Silas[/name_m]
[name_u]Clarence[/name_u]
[name_m]Samson[/name_m] reminds me too much of [name_m]Son[/name_m] of [name_u]Sam[/name_u]. [name_m]Clemens[/name_m] is a bit too surname-y with your last name.
[name_f]My[/name_f] favorite is [name_u]Finley[/name_u]. I think [name_u]Finley[/name_u] [name_m]Henderson[/name_m] just sounds great. Second and third would be [name_u]Dylan[/name_u] and [name_u]Clarence[/name_u] respectively. Most of the other ones i thought didn’t go well with the surname.
[name_m]Silas[/name_m]: I feel pretty neutral about this one, if i were ranking them i’d have this in fourth place.
[name_m]Samson[/name_m]: I think of [name_m]Samson[/name_m] and [name_f]Delilah[/name_f], i don’t think [name_m]Samson[/name_m] [name_m]Henderson[/name_m] goes well together because of the two –son endings.
Edmund/Edwin: Edmund/Edwin [name_m]Henderson[/name_m] sounds too similar to me also.
[name_m]Clemens[/name_m]: I don’t like [name_m]Clemens[/name_m] [name_m]Henderson[/name_m] together either. I’m not really a fan of the name [name_m]Clemens[/name_m].
hope this helps 
I love [name_m]Silas[/name_m], [name_u]Clarence[/name_u] and Edwin!!
I should have also mentioned that our daughter’s name is [name_f]Sadie[/name_f]. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you think [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] and [name_m]Silas[/name_m] is a bit much?
[name_m]Silas[/name_m] [name_m]Henderson[/name_m] is so handsome! I love it with [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] actually. I like others on your list but agree that they don’t go as well with your last name. What about just [name_u]Sam[/name_u]?
[name_m]Samson[/name_m] and [name_m]Clemens[/name_m] are adorable!!! But they’re a bit awkward with the last name… not a rule breaker, as you won’t be calling him his full name all the name, but something to consider.
What about [name_m]Samwell[/name_m] [name_m]Carwyn[/name_m]? I think [name_m]Samwell[/name_m] and [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] are cute!
[name_m]Silas[/name_m] and [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] are also nice together.
I’m team Clemens!
Clemens Henderson is quite handsome and unique without being “out there”.
I don’t like the repeating “son” with Samson and I do think Silas and Sadie would be too close for me.
I also don’t care for repeating N endings with Dylan/Edwin and surname.
Finley is nice but I just feel like there are so many little “Finns” everywhere that it’s lost it’s luster for me.
Clarence is my second favorite and I’d vote for Edward but Edmund is nms.
Good luck!!
I think that [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] & [name_m]Silas[/name_m] work okay together because they only share the beginning S. But I could see wanting different initials, as well. Then I’d probably choose either [name_u]Dylan[/name_u] or [name_u]Finley[/name_u] from your list.
Also consider, would Edmund/Edwin go by [name_u]Eddie[/name_u]? That would be pretty close to [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] as well.
