[name_m]HI[/name_m]- I tend to lean towards more modern names: [name_u]Dexter[/name_u], [name_u]Brett[/name_u], [name_u]Tate[/name_u], [name_u]Everett[/name_u]. My husband likes old school names like [name_m]Mack[/name_m], [name_u]Mo[/name_u], [name_m]Hank[/name_m], [name_m]Don[/name_m]. [name_m]How[/name_m] do we ever find a name that we both like?
[name_m]How[/name_m] about an old school name with a modern nn like [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] nn [name_u]Theo[/name_u]? If you like the concept, I’ll try to come up with some more.
your husband’s old school names aren’t really traditional, they are just modern names from a different time. I would be willing to bet that there is at least one name that overlaps between the two of you. I would have you each take a baby name book ,my favorite is the baby name wizard’s, and write down every name you would consider and then see where you overlap.
Also, the name [name_m]Cormac[/name_m] comes to mind! And here are few other older/traditional names with more modern nn:
[name_m]Donovan[/name_m] nn [name_u]Van[/name_u]
[name_m]Winston[/name_m]/[name_u]Winslow[/name_u] nn [name_u]Win[/name_u]
[name_u]August[/name_u] nn [name_m]Augie[/name_m]
[name_m]Remington[/name_m] nn [name_u]Remy[/name_u]
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m] nn [name_m]Art[/name_m] or [name_m]Artie[/name_m]
[name_m]Phineas[/name_m] nn [name_u]Finn[/name_u]
[name_u]Elias[/name_u] nn [name_m]Eli[/name_m]
[name_m]Christoper[/name_m] nn [name_m]Topher[/name_m]
[name_m]Alexander[/name_m] nn [name_u]Lex[/name_u] or [name_m]Xander[/name_m]
You gotta meet in the middle. [name_m]How[/name_m] about:
[name_m]Henry[/name_m]
[name_u]Charlie[/name_u]
[name_u]Max[/name_u]
[name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Archie[/name_m]
[name_m]Nate[/name_m]/[name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]
[name_u]Sam[/name_u]
[name_m]Jack[/name_m]
and your husband can call him [name_m]Hank[/name_m].
Anything is better than [name_u]Mo[/name_u]!
Your husband seems to like nick-namey names. I think [name_u]Everett[/name_u] nn [name_m]Rhett[/name_m] could work for you guys, and I like the suggestion of [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] nn [name_u]Theo[/name_u] and [name_m]Cormac[/name_m] nn [name_m]Mac[/name_m]/[name_m]Mack[/name_m].
[name_u]Dexter[/name_u] [name_m]Mack[/name_m]
[name_u]Everett[/name_u] [name_m]Mack[/name_m]
[name_u]Tate[/name_u] [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m]
I’m surprised [name_u]Dexter[/name_u] won’t work for you. Your husband can call him [name_m]Dex[/name_m], which seems really up his alley. Frankly, I would classify [name_m]BOTH[/name_m] of your names as cowboy names and I see them as pretty compatible styles. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you like any of these:
You seem like to like surname-y names and he seems to gravitate towards “dad names” (names from a generation or two ago, but not really old fashioned or classic names), some ideas that might overlap…
