With only a few weeks to go, it seems like we have finally made some progress in our boy name search. Currently we are strongly considering [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u] (with nickname “[name_u]Wren[/name_u]”), or [name_u]Winslow[/name_u] (“[name_f]Winnie[/name_f]”), with a preference for the latter one. We are having trouble coming up with second names though.
I find [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u] would be fine with having something special, maybe cool, as a second name. Our current thoughts are [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u] [name_m]Ivar[/name_m], [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u] [name_m]Tycho[/name_m], and [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u] [name_m]Orson[/name_m]. Neither seems perfect though.
As for [name_u]Winslow[/name_u], I feel like a second name should be more something sweet, maybe short. Current ideas are [name_u]Winslow[/name_u] [name_m]Phoebus[/name_m], [name_u]Winslow[/name_u] [name_u]Kai[/name_u], [name_u]Winslow[/name_u] [name_f]Oriel[/name_f], [name_u]Winslow[/name_u] [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m], [name_u]Winslow[/name_u] [name_m]Ezra[/name_m], [name_u]Winslow[/name_u] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u]. Again, I don’t think either of those is the perfect fit yet.
I find searching for second names wildly different to searching for first names. Other possible names in our first name category are [name_u]Francis[/name_u] ([name_m]Frank[/name_m]), [name_m]Cadmus[/name_m] (Cad or Moo), [name_m]Aramis[/name_m] ([name_m]Rami[/name_m]), [name_m]Phineas[/name_m] ([name_u]Finn[/name_u]), [name_m]Ezra[/name_m], and [name_m]Percival[/name_m] ([name_u]Percy[/name_u]). Possible second names include [name_u]Winter[/name_u], [name_u]Loki[/name_u], [name_u]Aurel[/name_u], [name_m]Pan[/name_m], [name_m]Ivo[/name_m], Luan, [name_u]Auberon[/name_u].
What are your thoughts and ideas? Any ideas for a second name for [name_u]Winslow[/name_u], or for [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u]? Maybe even some other name combination that would just be plain perfect? Would love to hear anything you come up with
[name_u]Winslow[/name_u] (nn [name_f]Winnie[/name_f]) is lovely! I particularly like [name_u]Winslow[/name_u] [name_u]Kai[/name_u] or [name_u]Winslow[/name_u] [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m]!
Interesting, [name_u]Winslow[/name_u] [name_u]Kai[/name_u] and [name_u]Winslow[/name_u] [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] were also my favorites so far.
I like [name_u]Winslow[/name_u] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], but maybe not for my family. [name_u]Winslow[/name_u] [name_u]Elias[/name_u] will definitely land on the list, I think it’s great! Also [name_u]Winslow[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] - so simple, and simply lovely. Thank you so much for your input!
Thank you for your ideas! I like [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u] [name_m]Fox[/name_m], it is an unexpected combination. Also the sound of [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u] Tadgh, but would probably not use the name due to spelling [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u] [name_m]Quentin[/name_m] sounds sophisticated. [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u] [name_m]Birch[/name_m] is also nice.
The more I think about it (especially trying to figure out which name would work as a whole, including family name), the more I am drawn to [name_u]Winslow[/name_u]. [name_u]Winslow[/name_u] [name_m]Bear[/name_m] is a very cozy combination somehow; I really like [name_u]Winslow[/name_u] [name_u]Ellis[/name_u] and [name_u]Winslow[/name_u] [name_u]Jude[/name_u] (actually, love that one!), also [name_u]Winslow[/name_u] [name_u]Noel[/name_u], [name_u]Winslow[/name_u] [name_u]Percy[/name_u] and [name_u]Winslow[/name_u] [name_u]Remy[/name_u]. And [name_u]Winslow[/name_u] [name_u]Zephyr[/name_u] sounds like a very cool kid! My favorite from that list though is clearly [name_u]Winslow[/name_u] [name_m]Hayes[/name_m] - I love the combination! Thank you for that input, it’s really helpful!
