[name]Hi[/name]! I found out that the baby is a boy yesterday! DH is obviously over the moon because he wont be the only guy
We took a break from the naming thing for a while and decided that we’d get cracking once we know the gender. We do have a list of names that we like though.
Our list is currently:
[name]Wolf[/name]/[name]Wolfgang[/name] - DH isnt sure about this one though
[name]Valor[/name]
[name]Zephyr[/name]
Truett
[name]Wiley[/name]
[name]Cypress[/name]
[name]Lelan[/name] - A family surname.
[name]Zen[/name] - Possibly Zenith or [name]Zenon[/name]. Maybe just [name]Zen[/name]!
[name]Roan[/name]
[name]Theron[/name]
[name]Harbor[/name]
[name]Claude[/name]
[name]River[/name]
We like all of these so much but my DH isn’t sure about most of them and some just don’t have the ‘wow’ factor.
Congrats! Kids are blessings:)
By the way, I love your girls’ names. Some ideas for your little boy to go with [name]Fable[/name] and [name]Amity[/name]:
[name]Timber[/name]
[name]Grove[/name]
[name]Isidore[/name]
[name]Hugh[/name]
[name]Victor[/name]
[name]Noble[/name]
[name]Leopold[/name]
[name]Clark[/name]
[name]Felix[/name]
[name]Clement[/name]
[name]Prosper[/name]
[name]Vincent[/name]
[name]Stellan[/name]
[name]Garett[/name]
[name]Nathaniel[/name]
Some of these are also word names and some just popped into my head. Out of your choices I just love [name]River[/name] and [name]Lelan[/name] is great too.
Congratulations! I personally think that mclevine’s suggestion of [name]Stellan[/name] would be lovely with your girls names. From your list it like [name]Zenon[/name] and [name]Roan[/name]. Good luck!
These are the names that I think are very handsome from your list.
[name]Valor[/name] (but might get [name]Val[/name] as a nn)
Truett
[name]Wiley[/name]
[name]Cypress[/name]
[name]Lelan[/name] - (again, will get [name]Lee[/name] as a nn)
[name]Zen[/name] - Possibly Zenith or [name]Zenon[/name]. Maybe just [name]Zen[/name]! - [name]Love[/name] Zenith!
[name]Harbor[/name]
[name]River[/name]
[name]Fable[/name] and [name]Amity[/name] are both word names, and I would like to see that theme continue with your son.
I would strike [name]Wolf[/name], [name]Wiley[/name], and [name]Zen[/name] from the list. [name]Wolf[/name] feels too aggressive with [name]Fable[/name] and [name]Amity[/name], and wily doesn’t exactly have the same positive meaning as fable or amity. I would strike [name]Zen[/name] mostly because I dislike the “borrowed from Buddhism” names; they come off as hokey attempts to be hip and [name]New[/name] Age-y.
My favorite choice for a brother to [name]Fable[/name] and [name]Amity[/name] is [name]Harbor[/name]. I really love the way the dictionary definitions of these words tie them together as names. A fable is a story with a moral, just as every life is. [name]Amity[/name] means friendship and peaceful harmony, two things we all need in our lives. A harbor is a place of shelter and refuge, which is, again, something we all need at some point in our lives. Friendships can give us places of refuge, and that in itself creates a story (with a moral). So yes, I really love [name]Fable[/name], [name]Amity[/name], and [name]Harbor[/name] as siblings.
What about [name]Harbor[/name] [name]Wolfgang[/name], [name]Harbor[/name] [name]Lelan[/name], [name]Harbor[/name] Truett, or [name]Harbor[/name] [name]Theron[/name]?
Here are my suggestions, keeping in mind we have completely different tastes.
[name]Wolf[/name]/[name]Wolfgang[/name] - DH isnt sure about this one though - I dont really like it, [name]Wolf[/name] is cool but no [name]Wolfgang[/name].
[name]Valor[/name] - [name]Valor[/name] would suit your Girls so much!
[name]Zephyr[/name] - Dont like at all.
Truett - Dont like at all, again.
[name]Wiley[/name] - It springs to mind [name]Wiley[/name] Coyote, but i guess its a neat name!
[name]Cypress[/name] - My sisters best friend is named [name]Cypress[/name] and its a she… so not for a boy i’m afraid.
[name]Lelan[/name] - A family surname. Could potentially make a neat middle name!
[name]Zen[/name] - Possibly Zenith or [name]Zenon[/name]. Maybe just [name]Zen[/name]! Dont like it, sorry.
[name]Roan[/name] - [name]Roan[/name] is a horse coat pattern, and growing up around horses i can only associate it with them, not a human baby, sorry.
[name]Theron[/name] - In my native country, this is a popular last name. I can never see it for a first name.
[name]Harbor[/name] - Its okay.
[name]Claude[/name] - I think [name]Clyde[/name] sounds a little better.
[name]River[/name] - I know too many girls called [name]River[/name].
Here are some i suggest:
[name]Griffin[/name]
[name]Hawk[/name]/[name]Hawthorne[/name]
[name]Phoenix[/name]
[name]Oakley[/name]
[name]Jet[/name]/[name]Jed[/name]
[name]Tate[/name]
[name]Archer[/name]
[name]Bram[/name]
[name]Dunstan[/name]
[name]Gunther[/name]
[name]Huckleberry[/name]
[name]Milo[/name]
[name]Riley[/name]
[name]Sawyer[/name]
[name]Silas[/name]
[name]Tristan[/name]/[name]Tristram[/name]
From your list I really really love [name]Valor[/name] and [name]River[/name] to go with [name]Amity[/name] and [name]Fable[/name]!
I like the name [name]Theon[/name] better than [name]Theron[/name], personally, but I think either one could well. And instead of [name]Wolfgang[/name] to get the nn [name]Wolf[/name], I like the name [name]Lowell[/name] which means young wolf.
Andddd, somebody suggested [name]Griffin[/name] and [name]Phoenix[/name] which I think are two great names to add to your list!
So maybe:
[name]River[/name] [name]Theron[/name]
[name]Lelan[/name] [name]River[/name]
[name]Lowell[/name] [name]Valor[/name]
[name]Wolf[/name]/[name]Wolfgang[/name] – This name is AWESOME. [name]How[/name] COOL would it be to be named [name]WOLFGANG[/name]? Extremely.
[name]Valor[/name] – Eh.
[name]Zephyr[/name] – O_o looks like a girl’s name to me.
Truett – Interesting.
[name]Wiley[/name] – [name]Don[/name]'t like this one.
[name]Cypress[/name] – Cool.
[name]Lelan[/name] – Ok
[name]Zen[/name] – hehe. This is awesome.
[name]Roan[/name] – Also cool.
[name]Theron[/name] – [name]Love[/name] this!
[name]Harbor[/name] – Eh.
[name]Claude[/name] – This name is severely underrated.
[name]River[/name] – Cool.
I like [name]Wolfgang[/name], [name]Theron[/name], and [name]Claude[/name].
Suggestions for [name]Fable[/name] and [name]Amity[/name]'s brother…
[name]Bastien[/name] (like the boy from Never Ending [name]Story[/name])
[name]Bayard[/name] nn [name]Bay[/name]
[name]North[/name]
[name]Gray[/name]
[name]Crew[/name]
[name]Shepherd[/name]
[name]Sylvan[/name]
[name]Byron[/name]
[name]Jude[/name]
[name]Romeo[/name]
[name]Beau[/name]
[name]Lev[/name]
[name]Zev[/name]
Truett and [name]Valor[/name] are definitely my favorites from your list. You could use [name]Vale[/name] as a nn for [name]Valor[/name] if you ever wanted one.
Other options: Solemn/Solace nn [name]Sol[/name]
[name]Gable[/name], [name]Reed[/name], [name]Phoenix[/name] (nn Phin/[name]Nix[/name])
Also, Zealan/d or Zealen could work with nn Zeal or [name]Zen[/name].
Oooh, thanks for all of the replies! I would have replied sooner but I’m having trouble loading nameberry for some reason. Is that just me?
Anyway, there has been some great suggestions!
I especially like the suggestions of:
[name]Oakley[/name]
[name]Archer[/name]
[name]Bram[/name]
[name]Bayard[/name]
[name]Crew[/name]
[name]Romeo[/name]
Zealen
[name]Thierry[/name]
[name]Penn[/name]
I will get DH to read through the thread and tell me if he likes any. He’s hard to please so hopefully he’ll find some he likes!
We’re thinking of using another 3 syllable name for the middle spot, like his sisters. ([name]Arizona[/name] & [name]Seraphina[/name]) Any suggestions of some 3 syllable names, too?
I like: [name]Timber[/name], [name]Grove[/name], [name]Noble[/name], [name]Prosper[/name] & [name]Stellan[/name]!
