Looking for a first name for Floyd

We are due with our second baby in 4 weeks and still having name woes! The gender will be a surprise to us. If we have a boy, DH would like to use his grandpas name [name_m]Floyd[/name_m] as a mn. If our first was a boy we were set on [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Floyd[/name_m], but I now can’t get “[name_m]Henry[/name_m] ford” out of my head. In addition, I have heard of so many little [name_m]Henry[/name_m]'s in the past few years that I am a over the name. Open to suggestions!! Boy names we love but don’t feel fit quite right with [name_m]Floyd[/name_m]: [name_u]Jude[/name_u], [name_u]Elliot[/name_u], [name_m]Ezra[/name_m].

Thanks!!

Also, name meanings are a big deal to us and I would love for it to flow with our daughters name- [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Maude[/name_f].

[name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Floyd[/name_m] sounds great but if it’s boring you then…
[name_m]Byron[/name_m] [name_m]Floyd[/name_m]
[name_m]Miles[/name_m] [name_m]Floyd[/name_m]
[name_m]Justus[/name_m] [name_m]Floyd[/name_m]

[name_m]Harris[/name_m] [name_m]Floyd[/name_m]
[name_m]Vaughn[/name_m] [name_m]Floyd[/name_m]

I always liked [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] [name_m]Floyd[/name_m]. They are both family names for me. :slight_smile: thats what I plan on naming my son if i ever have one. hope that helps!

What about [name_m]Victor[/name_m] [name_m]Floyd[/name_m]?

[name_m]Victor[/name_m] means conqueror (obviously!)
[name_m]Victor[/name_m] is one of the earliest [name_m]Christian[/name_m] names, borne (as [name_m]Vittorio[/name_m]) by several saints and popes, symbolizing [name_m]Christ[/name_m]'s victory over death. It has been quietly in the Top 200 since 1880, but just recently has taken on a cool edge by fashionable parents in [name_u]London[/name_u] and seems ripe for a similar reevaluation here too.

[name_m]Victor[/name_m] made it big in the English-speaking world during the reign of [name_f]Queen[/name_f] [name_f]Victoria[/name_f], one of the few male names popularized by a female version.

[name_m]Victor[/name_m] was the first name of Dr. Frankenstein, the scholar who brings the monster to life, and the romantic figure of [name_m]Victor[/name_m] [name_m]Laszlo[/name_m] in “Casablanca,” not to mention the esteemed writer [name_m]Victor[/name_m] [name_m]Hugo[/name_m].

[name_m]Victor[/name_m] is currently popular in Denmark (Where it’s Number 5), Belgium (14) and Spain (32). Italian version [name_m]Vittorio[/name_m] adds a large measure of charm.

Or…

[name_m]Leopold[/name_m] [name_m]Floyd[/name_m]

it means “brave people”

This aristocratic, somewhat formal Germanic route to the popular [name_m]Leo[/name_m] is a royal name: [name_f]Queen[/name_f] [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] used it to honor a favorite uncle, [name_m]King[/name_m] [name_m]Leopold[/name_m] of Belgium. Though [name_m]Leopold[/name_m] sounds as if it might be a leonine name, it’s not really a relative of such choices as [name_m]Leon[/name_m], and [name_m]Leonard[/name_m].

In literature, the name is famous via [name_m]Leopold[/name_m] Bloom, the central character of [name_u]James[/name_u] [name_u]Joyce[/name_u]'s [name_m]Ulysses[/name_m] and in music is associated with the distinguished conductor [name_m]Leopold[/name_m] Stokowski, and is also a saint’s name.

[name_m]Floyd[/name_m] is tough. Generally speaking I think it sounds best with first names that have strong O sounds.

[name_u]Owen[/name_u] [name_m]Floyd[/name_m]
[name_m]Gideon[/name_m] [name_m]Floyd[/name_m]
[name_m]Quinton[/name_m] [name_m]Floyd[/name_m]
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]Floyd[/name_m]
[name_m]Roman[/name_m] [name_m]Floyd[/name_m]

Other names I like with [name_m]Floyd[/name_m].

[name_m]Charles[/name_m] [name_m]Floyd[/name_m]
[name_m]Griffin[/name_m] [name_m]Floyd[/name_m]
[name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_m]Floyd[/name_m]
[name_m]Xavier[/name_m] [name_m]Floyd[/name_m]

[name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_m]Floyd[/name_m] is great!

I also like [name_m]Caspar[/name_m] [name_m]Floyd[/name_m], [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] [name_m]Floyd[/name_m] and [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] [name_m]Floyd[/name_m].

Good luck!
