Middle names for Solomon. Impressions of the name?

Solomon was on the initial list I made for this pregnancy and my husband vetoed it the first time I read it out. After pitching it again, he has had a change of heart and is now “not opposed” and willing to marinade on the idea.

I love, LOVE the meaning of peace. I love that he was known for his wisdom. And- I think this is what swayed my husband to reconsider it :joy:- Solomon was the son of David. My husband is named David. :joy::woman_shrugging::woman_facepalming:

I also like the nickname Solly a lot. I had initially pitched the name Sullivan nn Sully pretty hard, and husband never liked it. I started to feel like it was maybe a little too trendy for my liking.

I like the fact that Solomon is so old fashioned and sturdy, but also has a sweet meaning and sweet nicknames.

I think Solomon might go well with brother Warren? I would like input on that. Warren is not a Biblical name so I feel like I’m a way they wouldn’t make a good sibling set, but maybe it’s the -n endings that make them sound kind of okay together in my head. Thoughts?

I also enjoy the way it sounds with our last name, which starts with St-, has an o in the middle, and ends in -er. I like the alliteration of the repeating S’s and think the matching o’s look cohesive.

Would love input on whether it sounds okay with Warren, what your overall impressions are/feeling about the name, and middle name suggestions.

Some combos I’ve jotted down:

Solomon Ames (this is my favorite, personally)

Solomon Finch

Solomon Nolan (husband initially liked Nolan, and I think I like the matching o’s)

Solomon Ray (my dad’s middle name)

Solomon Lior

Solomon Cedric (think I just like the s and the soft c)

Solomon Clive (a nod to C.S. Lewis)

Solomon Francis (I don’t know why, I just like Francis as a middle for a boy and Francine as a middle for a girl.)

Solomon Graham

Solomon Bernard (husband liked Bernard for a first but I didn’t want Bernie Sanders references)

Solomon Clancy (kind of random, but it said the name Clancy was cute and husband actually liked it. But I could t see it as a first name.)

Thanks for the continued input as I am on here way too often with different name every time. :joy:

I love [name_m]Solomon[/name_m] - so peaceful, powerful and lovely. I think it goes with [name_m]Warren[/name_m] - unexpected, but it works :slight_smile: Plus, [name_m]Solly[/name_m] and [name_m]Warren[/name_m] or [name_u]Sol[/name_u] and [name_m]Warren[/name_m] - or even [name_u]Sonny[/name_u] and [name_m]Warren[/name_m], if it happens - are fabulous.

Of your combos, I like:

[name_m]Solomon[/name_m] [name_u]Ray[/name_u] - balanced, simple and charming

[name_m]Solomon[/name_m] [name_u]Finch[/name_u] - cool, literary and unexpected

I love [name_m]Solomon[/name_m]! Its classic yet unexpected. I do think it works well with [name_m]Warren[/name_m] for that reason. Both are serious sounding in a good way but not too matchy.

From your list I love [name_m]Solomon[/name_m] [name_u]Ames[/name_u], [name_m]Solomon[/name_m] [name_m]Graham[/name_m], and [name_m]Solomon[/name_m] [name_u]Clancy[/name_u].

I absolutely love [name_m]Solomon[/name_m] :sunflower:

Honestly he’s such a handsome name, strong, sturdy, biblical, has a range of fabulous nicknames I personally love the nickname [name_u]Sol[/name_u] which has a sunshine vibe and the meaning peace is wonderful. [name_m]Solomon[/name_m] is a favourite of mine! I also think [name_m]Warren[/name_m] & [name_m]Solomon[/name_m] sound fabulous together such a strong pairing with a nostalgic 1950s mid century flair. [name_u]Truly[/name_u] fabulous brother pairing.

Looking at your combinations I absolutely love

[name_m]Solomon[/name_m] [name_u]Ames[/name_u] this is beyond handsome such a gorgeous soft choice. Really fab.

[name_m]Solomon[/name_m] [name_u]Finch[/name_u] this name has such a cool nerdy vibe really outdoorsy and bookish such a great name.

[name_m]Solomon[/name_m] [name_u]Ray[/name_u] I like the sentiment behind using your dad’s middle name it’s lovely

I still adore Frédérick. :heart:
I thought my husband would be jazzed about [name_m]Solomon[/name_m] [name_u]Clancy[/name_u] because he initially loved [name_u]Clancy[/name_u], but now is he no longer a fan. :roll_eyes: He does like [name_m]Solomon[/name_m] [name_m]Cedric[/name_m], though!
