Little brother for Bowen

Boy Names
1

Please help us! We just found out we are having our 2nd boy this fall. We are struggling this time around with names. We really like soft/uncommon vibes [name_u]Bowen[/name_u] gives off. We don’t particular like traditional names and are more into surnames, outdoorsy or Celtic theme. Middle name will most likely be [name_u]Charles[/name_u].

We currently like: [name_u]Hudson[/name_u] (top pick but unsure if its too popular), [name_u]Brooks[/name_u], [name_m]Holt[/name_m] & [name_m]Bryer[/name_m].

Names we can’t use but we like: [name_u]Finn[/name_u], [name_u]Holden[/name_u], [name_m]Weston[/name_m] and [name_u]Everett[/name_u].

I think Hudson and Bryer go the best with Charles, while Holt goes the best (I think) with Bowen. I don’t think Brooks goes super well with Charles (double S ending), and I’d probably avoid a B name anyway (but looks like you’re OK with letter pattern), which makes Hudson or Holt top runners for me - where Holt is more interesting with Bowen bc a different sound / ending, and Hudson much better with Charles. I should add, I find Brooks to be a really endearing name (but would change middle unless last name especially long).

Anyway, some other ideas:

Ralston
Hayes (prob with another middle)
Callahan
Alasdair (Celtic Alistair/Alexander)
Finnian
Hamish
Emrys
Calloway
Ford
Tiernan
Wells (prob with another middle)
Fletcher
Weylyn
Grayson
Rafferty
Everett
Patrick

(Was going to say Hunter but might possibly gives bow and arrow vibes)

Hope this helps and good luck!

This was very helpful - thank you! Its good to hear another opinion about middle name too since that throws a wrench in deciding too.
