Jonas, Malachi, Lochlan, Thad or Casper?

Which name do you prefer?

[name_m]Jonas[/name_m] [name_m]Daye[/name_m]
[name_m]Malachi[/name_m] [name_u]Page[/name_u]
[name_m]Lochlan[/name_m] ([name_m]Lachlan[/name_m]) [name_u]Page[/name_u]
[name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m] [name_m]Daye[/name_m] “[name_m]Thad[/name_m]”
[name_m]Casper[/name_m] [name_m]Daye[/name_m]

What names would you suggest? Middle is either [name_m]Daye[/name_m] or [name_u]Page[/name_u]. As our girl names are [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] [name_u]Dove[/name_u], and [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f] [name_u]Dove[/name_u]… We would like it to be [name_m]Daye[/name_m]… But [name_u]Page[/name_u] does sound nice.

[name_m]Caspar[/name_m] or [name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m] [name_m]Daye[/name_m] are my two favorites.

I prefer [name_m]Jonas[/name_m], [name_m]Malachi[/name_m] and [name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m].

[name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] gets my vote

[name_m]Jonas[/name_m] [name_m]Daye[/name_m] - I love [name_m]Jonas[/name_m]–both with the associations to The Giver, but also in general–it’s a really lovely name!–and I like that it may be a form of [name_m]Jonah[/name_m] (I’ve heard varying responses regarding this, but it’s certainly believable as a variant of [name_m]Jonah[/name_m]!). [name_m]Jonas[/name_m] [name_m]Daye[/name_m] sounds really good, too.
[name_m]Malachi[/name_m] [name_u]Page[/name_u] - [name_m]Malachi[/name_m] is a nice name, and it has some nice nns ([name_m]Mac[/name_m], [name_u]Kai[/name_u], even [name_u]Mal[/name_u]), and it has some good associations for me, but I’ve never been able to get into it. It’s always had a similar feeling to [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] for me (which I quite strongly disliked in the beginning, too, but now he’s a MN on my list, and I quite like him!), so I might come around to [name_m]Malachi[/name_m] eventually, and I do like him better as a MN, but it’s still not for me.
[name_m]Lochlan[/name_m] [name_u]Page[/name_u] - I love this combo, and as it is, it’s still my second vote, but only by a small margin, because I vastly, vastly prefer the [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] spelling (I know your partner’s not a fan, though, right?). I think [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] [name_u]Page[/name_u] would be dreamy. :slight_smile:
[name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m] [name_m]Daye[/name_m] - third choice, but only by a small margin. I love [name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m], and I have for years, and it’s only recently that I’ve fallen for [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m]. I like the feel and look and sound of [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] so much, but [name_m]Lochlan[/name_m] ranks much lower for me, sadly. [name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m] [name_m]Daye[/name_m] sounds really, really good, though, and [name_m]Thad[/name_m] is a nice nn! I also like [name_m]Tad[/name_m] or [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] for [name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m]. :slight_smile:
[name_m]Casper[/name_m] [name_m]Daye[/name_m] - easily my favorite! I adore [name_m]Casper[/name_m], and could one day see me as a son with the name. He’s shot up my list from obscurity, and now he’s easily in my top three to four names. [name_m]Casper[/name_m] is one of those few names I could see replacing [name_m]Caleb[/name_m], if I ever lose my love in him completely (or get told no!). I think [name_m]Casper[/name_m] [name_m]Daye[/name_m] sounds really good, and has a great feel about him.

So I would rank them:

[name_m]Casper[/name_m] [name_m]Daye[/name_m]
[name_m]Lochlan[/name_m] [name_u]Page[/name_u]
[name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m] [name_m]Daye[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonas[/name_m] [name_m]Daye[/name_m]
[name_m]Malachi[/name_m] [name_u]Page[/name_u]

Good luck!

I like [name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m] [name_m]Daye[/name_m], followed by [name_m]Lochlan[/name_m] [name_u]Page[/name_u]

I really like [name_m]Jonas[/name_m] [name_m]Daye[/name_m] and [name_m]Casper[/name_m] [name_m]Daye[/name_m].

[name_m]Jonas[/name_m] [name_m]Daye[/name_m] :slight_smile:

[name_m]Lochlan[/name_m] [name_u]Page[/name_u] or [name_m]Lochlan[/name_m] [name_m]Daye[/name_m]!

I like [name_m]Malachi[/name_m] and [name_m]Lochlan[/name_m] best.

[name_m]Jonas[/name_m] reminds me of Salk and the singing boys.

[name_m]Thad[/name_m] looks like it would be pronounced with a th sound.

[name_m]Casper[/name_m] is still the ghost to me!

[name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m] [name_m]Daye[/name_m] “[name_m]Thad[/name_m]” is my favorite.
