Hello! Thanks to everyone who offered suggestions and feedback so far. We’re almost decided on a name for Nell and Fern’s little brother! Any suggestions on a middle name that works well with Heath?
Things we’re thinking about (though none of these are musts!)
a “j” name would be cool as an honor name, but we’re not committed to this. We’re considering Heath Jonah as Jonah was also on our list, but don’t know if I love it.
our daughters both have middle names derived from Shakespeare, which is just a fun coincidence, but most of the boys names are too elaborate for my tastes and don’t go well with our long last name. I love Heath Arden but DH isn’t convinced.
we would love a subtle nature name, but many seem like too much with Heath also being naturey.
no “R” names as they don’t work with our last name
Any other suggestions? Ultimately, we’re fine just using a name we like that flows well!
I took those from an article that had a list of names of Shakespearean characters, as I have personally only ever read “Hamlet” and “Romeo and Juliet”. I like [name_m]Heath[/name_m] [name_u]Paris[/name_u] although I know [name_u]Paris[/name_u] wasn’t extactly the most relatable character in his play.
Nature-related (those are from my own list of middles so they might be quite “extra”)
[name_m]Heath[/name_m] [name_u]Meridian[/name_u]
[name_m]Heath[/name_m] [name_u]Horizon[/name_u]
[name_m]Heath[/name_m] [name_m]Carnelian[/name_m]
[name_m]Heath[/name_m] [name_m]Petrichor[/name_m]
[name_m]Heath[/name_m] [name_u]Campion[/name_u]
[name_m]Heath[/name_m] [name_u]Oleander[/name_u]
Congrats on finding your boy’s first name! [name_m]Heath[/name_m] is wonderful with [name_f]Nell[/name_f] and [name_f]Fern[/name_f]
For a J + Shakespeare-related option, [name_m]Heath[/name_m] Julian/Julius is kind of cool?
For something very subtly nature oriented, maybe something like [name_m]Heath[/name_m] [name_m]Daley[/name_m] or [name_m]Heath[/name_m] [name_u]August[/name_u]. Something oriented more towards seasons and natural cycles might be less hard hitting than doing a nature noun like [name_u]River[/name_u] or [name_u]Dale[/name_u], [name_m]Clayton[/name_m] etc. Best wishes for finding the perfect name for you!
Thank you! I really like [name_m]Heath[/name_m] [name_m]Leander[/name_m] and [name_u]Larkin[/name_u]. [name_u]Lark[/name_u] was on our short list if this baby was a girl!
Thank you! We talked about [name_u]Julian[/name_u], but then I forgot about it! That needs to go back on the list. I also like [name_u]August[/name_u] for this summer baby.
I like so many of these. Lots of [name_u]Jameson[/name_u] suggestions! I love it. DH was not super into it last time I mentioned it, but I will try to work on him.
