We are currently “talking about trying to get pregnant.” Husband is more hesitant questioning if it’s the “right time” and of course I have a baby name list a mile long, haha.
Current favorite for a girl is [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] or [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]. [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] to honor my mom [name_f]Josette[/name_f], while not being the exact same name, and [name_f]Rose[/name_f] or [name_f]Claire[/name_f] for my Mother in [name_m]Law[/name_m] [name_f]Rosalia[/name_f], or my grandma, [name_f]Judy[/name_f]-[name_f]Claire[/name_f]. (Bonus if you want to weigh in on those names as well!)
I’m having a much harder time with boy names for some reason, but I have been thinking about [name_u]Bridger[/name_u]. [name_f]My[/name_f] family is actually related to [name_m]Jim[/name_m] [name_u]Bridger[/name_u] (famous mountaineer/explorer/frontiersman) and my great uncle was named [name_u]Bridger[/name_u] after him. [name_f]My[/name_f] great uncle was a police officer who was unfortunately shot and killed in the line of duty. I thought using his name would be a nice way to honor his memory and to keep the name in our family.
I’m having trouble figuring out a middle name that goes well with it though. [name_f]My[/name_f] dad’s name was [name_m]William[/name_m], so that’s a consideration… but I was thinking a one syllable name might be better? I’m not really sure so I was hoping to get some suggestions. So far my only ideas are:
[name_u]Bridger[/name_u] [name_m]William[/name_m]
[name_u]Bridger[/name_u] [name_m]Clark[/name_m]

My daughter has chosen [name_u]Bridger[/name_u] [name_m]Paul[/name_m] for her son.

Both middle names pair nicely with [name_u]Bridger[/name_u]. I slightly prefer [name_u]Bridger[/name_u] [name_m]Clark[/name_m] because it adds a cool edge to the already cool [name_u]Bridger[/name_u]. However, [name_u]Bridger[/name_u] [name_m]William[/name_m] is very handsome. [name_u]Bridger[/name_u] [name_m]William[/name_m] [name_m]Clark[/name_m] flows well, but I’m not sure if you would want to double-barrel the name.
Bridger [name_m]Clark[/name_m] has the best balance, flow, and sound imo.
However, I’d also like to give [name_m]William[/name_m] a fair chance, so here are some shorter names inspired by [name_m]William[/name_m]:
︎Bridger [name_u]Liam[/name_u]
︎Bridger [name_m]Willem[/name_m]
︎Bridger [name_u]Lee[/name_u]
︎Bridger [name_m]Ian[/name_m] (a bit of a stretch, I know, but I think it works)
Good luck!
I like [name_u]Bridger[/name_u] [name_m]William[/name_m] best… maybe [name_u]Bridger[/name_u] [name_m]Will[/name_m]?
I also love the name connections to your family! sorry for your loss
