I’m so stumped as to what to call baby #2, due in [name]June[/name]. We don’t know the sex yet, but assuming it’s a boy, what would be a good little brother name for [name]James[/name] [name]Martin[/name]? The middle name will be [name]Allen[/name] after my husband’s father ([name]Martin[/name] is mine!)
Our problem is, we have too many things we don’t want in a name!
no H names, as they sound awful with our last name
no P names as my husband and I are both Ps and poor [name]James[/name] would be left out!
would rather not have a J name
nothing “made up”
no obviously Irish names (this comes from my husband, he’s odd that way!)
Names I do like are [name]Noah[/name], [name]Euan[/name], [name]Lucas[/name], [name]Oliver[/name]
Names I like but are sadly out for various reasons: [name]Benjamin[/name], [name]Matthew[/name], [name]Nicholas[/name], [name]Nathaniel[/name]/[name]Nathan[/name], [name]Christopher[/name], [name]Henry[/name]
You all come up with such fabulous suggestions, I was hoping you could help
[name]Hi[/name]! I love [name]James[/name] [name]Martin[/name]! So handsome!
A few more you may like:
[name]Charles[/name] [name]Allen[/name] (has [name]James[/name]’ ending, but I still think that [name]James[/name] and [name]Charles[/name] are handsome together)
[name]Edward[/name] [name]Allen[/name]
[name]Everett[/name] [name]Allen[/name] ([name]Everett[/name] reminds me of [name]Lucas[/name]’ feel)
[name]Frederick[/name] [name]Allen[/name]
[name]David[/name] [name]Allen[/name] (there’s an actor in the US named [name]David[/name] [name]Alan[/name] [name]Grier[/name], which may or may not be an issue for you…)
Thank-you, those are good ones! We do have an [name]Eddie[/name] in the house already - the cat! (What were we thinking giving the cat such a good name, anyway??) My brother is [name]David[/name] and I’d hate for him to be another version of him!
I really really like [name]Charles[/name], I think I need to run that past my husband
[name]Hi[/name]! I love [name]Charles[/name] [name]Allen[/name] so much! I’m glad you like it!
Your cat is [name]Eddie[/name]? That’s so cute. I had to laugh about what you said about [name]David[/name]…I love your brother’s name, though.
A few more you may like with [name]James[/name] (such a great name!):
[name]Arthur[/name] [name]Allen[/name]
[name]George[/name] [name]Allen[/name] (Has the J sound, though…)
[name]Hugo[/name] [name]Allen[/name]
[name]Peter[/name] [name]Allen[/name] (Then again, he was a singer/songwriter…)
[name]Timothy[/name] [name]Allen[/name] (but not if you call [name]James[/name] “[name]Jim[/name],” because [name]Tim[/name] and [name]Jim[/name] rhyme…Plus, in the US, there’s an actor named [name]Tim[/name] [name]Allen[/name], which may or may not bother you…)
[name]Thomas[/name] [name]Allen[/name]
[name]Theodore[/name] [name]Allen[/name] (nn [name]Theo[/name] or [name]Teddy[/name], but [name]Teddy[/name] is probably too close to the cat’s name)
Here are some suggestions that i hope you like! I tried to stay with the classic quality of [name]James[/name], and wheer i strayed its because the name is just so cute with [name]James[/name]! What is your nick name for [name]James[/name] so we can get the feeling of what they will be called everyday!
[name]James[/name] [name]Martin[/name] and:
[name]Theodore[/name] [name]Allen[/name]
[name]Miller[/name] [name]Allan[/name]
[name]Stewart[/name] [name]Allen[/name]
[name]Emmett[/name] [name]Allen[/name]
[name]Daniel[/name] [name]Allen[/name]
[name]Wyatt[/name] [name]Allen[/name]
[name]Zachary[/name] [name]Allen[/name]
[name]Eaton[/name] [name]Allen[/name]
[name]Ethan[/name] [name]Allen[/name] - although it is a furniture store, not sure if that bugs you!
[name]Grier[/name] [name]Allen[/name]
[name]Samuel[/name] [name]Allen[/name]
[name]Maxwell[/name] [name]Allen[/name]
I love, love, love [name]Arthur[/name] and [name]George[/name]! [name]Do[/name] you think [name]James[/name] and [name]George[/name] are too first sound-matchy?
[name]James[/name] is just [name]James[/name], I’m not a fan of [name]Jim[/name] or [name]Jimmy[/name] and my husband insists that [name]Jamie[/name] is a girl’s name. Sometimes he’s Jamesey or Monkey-boy though
I love [name]Caleb[/name] - do you think it’s a bit “trendy” now, though? That’s my only real worry about it, I don’t mind if lots of kids have the same name, I just don’t want it to be something that’s only really used in one decade if you see what I mean!
I really like some of those and never really thought of them! I wonder if I could pull of a [name]Maxwell[/name]! [name]Max[/name] is such a great name [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Sam[/name] and [name]Emmett[/name], too!
[name]James[/name] is just [name]James[/name], it fits him well, he’s always been such a manly little thing Sometimes Jamesey, I guess!
I love, love, love [name]Arthur[/name] and [name]George[/name]! [name]Do[/name] you think [name]James[/name] and [name]George[/name] are too first sound-matchy?
[name]James[/name] is just [name]James[/name], I’m not a fan of [name]Jim[/name] or [name]Jimmy[/name] and my husband insists that [name]Jamie[/name] is a girl’s name. Sometimes he’s Jamesey or Monkey-boy though ;)[/quote]
[name]Hi[/name]! I love [name]Arthur[/name] and [name]George[/name], too. Because [name]George[/name] and [name]James[/name] have the same beginning sound, I unfortunately think they do sound a lot matchier together than [name]James[/name] and [name]Charles[/name] or [name]James[/name] and [name]Arthur[/name].
I really love [name]Charles[/name] and [name]Arthur[/name] with [name]James[/name], though, as well as a lot of the other suggestions from posters on this thread. I can’t wait to see what you choose!
I really like [name]Noah[/name] [name]Allen[/name] from your list, I had that on my list too ([name]Noah[/name] [name]Alan[/name]) as [name]Alan[/name] is my grandfather’s name.
On your list, I love [name]Noah[/name] and [name]Oliver[/name]. But [name]James[/name] and [name]Noah[/name] don’t really go together. But I think that’s okay.
I would suggest [name]Peter[/name], but no “P’s”.
