Ok… we are making some progress thanks to you all. [name_f]Baby[/name_f] boy. We have decided on [name_m]Penn[/name_m].
Now just need a middle name.

[name_m]Penn[/name_m] [name_m]Hartigan[/name_m] (related to [name_m]Arthur[/name_m], my dad’s middle name)
[name_m]Penn[/name_m] [name_m]Michael[/name_m]
[name_m]Penn[/name_m] [name_m]Wilson[/name_m]
[name_m]Penn[/name_m] [name_m]Warren[/name_m]
[name_m]Penn[/name_m] [name_m]Hastings[/name_m] (my maiden name)
[name_m]Penn[/name_m] [name_m]Maverick[/name_m] (no family connection)

All are family names… except the last. Any preferences? [name_m]Or[/name_m] additional suggestions?

You could also do [name_m]Penn[/name_m] [name_m]Hart[/name_m] if you have a longer last name to balance as a short shot out to [name_m]Hartigan[/name_m].

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] these help :slight_smile:

I would go with [name_m]Penn[/name_m] [name_m]Hastings[/name_m], so he has your maiden name, but [name_m]Penn[/name_m] [name_m]Hartigan[/name_m] is snappy and distinctive too!

Michael :100: Something more traditional is a good fit with a more unusual first name like Penn. Otherwise Hastings for the connection to you, or Arthur.

[name_m]Penn[/name_m] [name_m]Hartigan[/name_m] or [name_m]Penn[/name_m] [name_m]Hastings[/name_m]! Both are very cool.

11

I like [name_m]Penn[/name_m] [name_m]Hastings[/name_m]! I think that has a really cool feel to it. Like an authors name!

I love [name_m]Penn[/name_m] [name_m]Hartigan[/name_m] for you! It’s unique, adventurous and mysterious but also quite poetic and captivating, at the same time. [name_m]Hartigan[/name_m] is brilliant idea to honor your father!

With the same meaning, you can consider [name_m]Orson[/name_m], [name_m]Auberon[/name_m], [name_m]Bernard[/name_m], [name_m]Oberon[/name_m], Arcadius, [name_m]Humphrey[/name_m], [name_m]Otso[/name_m], Ursulus, [name_m]Torben[/name_m], [name_m]Humbert[/name_m], [name_m]Ursus[/name_m] and [name_m]Osborn[/name_m].

[name_f]My[/name_f] second favorite for you is [name_m]Penn[/name_m] [name_m]Hastings[/name_m]! Again, I love the family meaning and its uniqueness. [name_m]Penn[/name_m] [name_m]Hastings[/name_m] sounds very charming and dauntless.

[name_f]My[/name_f] next choice would be [name_m]Penn[/name_m] [name_m]Maverick[/name_m]. [name_m]Maverick[/name_m] has a very interesting and strong meaning. It’s a very handsome, memorable name.

I think [name_m]Penn[/name_m] [name_m]Hartigan[/name_m] and [name_m]Penn[/name_m] [name_m]Hastings[/name_m] flow a little bit better than [name_m]Penn[/name_m] [name_m]Maverick[/name_m], but these 3 ideas are magnificent!
