We will be welcoming our fourth son in just five short weeks! I admit that I’m struggling this time around. Our first three sons’ names are [name_m]Silas[/name_m], [name_m]Jack[/name_m] & [name_u]Elliott[/name_u]. Our current front runners for this new sweet one are [name_m]Lewis[/name_m] and [name_m]Jonas[/name_m]. [name_f]My[/name_f] hesitation with [name_m]Lewis[/name_m] is that he will be called [name_u]Lou[/name_u] or [name_m]Lewie[/name_m]… both of which I am not a fan of. [name_f]My[/name_f] hesitation with [name_m]Jonas[/name_m] is that its popularity will soon skyrocket thanks to the movie The Giver coming out this fall.
What do you think? HELP!
We’re also stumped for middle names. Family names that we would like to incorporate are [name_m]Scott[/name_m], [name_m]Alfred[/name_m], [name_m]Canaday[/name_m], [name_u]Emerson[/name_u]… but I’m not sure any of them are really winning me over. I also like [name_f]Avary[/name_f] as a middle name in tribute to our favorite musician ([name_u]Bryce[/name_u] [name_f]Avary[/name_f] of The [name_m]Rocket[/name_m] [name_f]Summer[/name_f]).
Our last name is Idle.
[name_m]How[/name_m] do you know that [name_m]Jonas[/name_m] will skyrocket because of The Giver? [name_m]Edward[/name_m]'s popularity was unaffected by Twilight, which was considerably more high profile than The Giver. I like [name_m]Jonas[/name_m] so much more than [name_m]Lewis[/name_m]; it has a strength to it that [name_m]Lewis[/name_m] doesn’t have. [name_m]Jonas[/name_m] [name_f]Avary[/name_f] would work.
I prefer [name_m]Lewis[/name_m] with your sibset. [name_m]Just[/name_m] be firm on not using [name_u]Lou[/name_u] until he’s old enough to choose for himself. There will always be people ignoring your wishes, but those same people might call [name_m]Jonas[/name_m] [name_m]Jonny[/name_m]. I like [name_m]Lewis[/name_m] [name_f]Avary[/name_f] a lot.
[name_m]Jonas[/name_m] [name_f]Avary[/name_f] Idle - I like the sound of that name, love [name_m]Jonas[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonas[/name_m] [name_m]Scott[/name_m] and [name_m]Jonas[/name_m] [name_u]Emerson[/name_u] are nice but I think the winner is [name_m]Jonas[/name_m] [name_f]Avary[/name_f].
[name_m]Jonas[/name_m] is so much more interesting and youthful than [name_m]Lewis[/name_m], it’s cooler too and I also love [name_f]Avary[/name_f].
[name_u]Lou[/name_u] is also a worse, older sounding nickname than say, [name_m]Joe[/name_m].
