[name]Hi[/name]
I am new on NameBerry!
What do you think of the name [name]Mordecai[/name] nn [name]Morrie[/name]?
I think I really like it and my husband and I are having real trouble agreeing on a boys name we both like (I love [name]Shem[/name], he loves [name]Clarence[/name], but [name]Clarence[/name] is VERY close to my name), we both rather like [name]Mordecai[/name] though (although neither of us love it).
We have 2 sons called [name]Eli[/name] and [name]Amos[/name] and 2 daughter named [name]Iris[/name] and [name]Pearl[/name]. What do you think? Does it fit?
[name]Mordecai[/name] is beautiful. It reminds me of one of my favorite movies, The [name]Royal[/name] Tennenbaums.
I don’t think [name]Mordecai[/name] is a bad name, but with [name]Eli[/name], [name]Amos[/name], [name]Pearl[/name] and [name]Iris[/name], it seems a little out of place. It feels too long or heavy, especially when compared to [name]Eli[/name] & [name]Amos[/name]. (Which btw I [name]LOVE[/name] your children’s names :))
This is going to be a bit harsh and I apologize in advance for what I’m about to say. [name]Mordecai[/name] reminds me of death in Spanish (muerte). Also, I would be unsure of how to pronounce it, I’m assuming its More-day-ky. I’m sorry I wasn’t more positive. What about [name]Morris[/name] nn [name]Morry[/name]? Good luck!
I’m gonna have to say NO on [name]Mordecai[/name]!
I think it does sound out of place with your other kid’s names as a pp said. [name]Mordecai[/name] makes me think of an mean old wizard or a necromancer or something! Not a fan.
I think you should stick to a one or two syllable shortish name since that seems to be your style.
Names that might fit:
[name]Shia[/name] (prn Shy-uh – going off your love of [name]Shem[/name])
[name]Shea[/name] (prn [name]Shay[/name])
[name]Ian[/name]
[name]Liam[/name]
[name]Linus[/name]
[name]Shan[/name]
[name]Shane[/name]
[name]Silas[/name]
[name]Clement[/name] ([name]Clem[/name]- [name]Shem[/name]? also kind of a [name]Clarence[/name] compromise…)
[name]Cyrus[/name]
[name]Chance[/name]
[name]Chase[/name]
[name]Murray[/name] (instead of [name]Morrie[/name])
[name]Marcel[/name]
[name]Maurice[/name]

[name]Marcus[/name]
[name]Kai[/name] (from [name]Mordecai[/name])
[name]Miles[/name]
[name]Niles[/name]
[name]Lars[/name]
[name]Abel[/name]
[name]Job[/name]
[name]Jove[/name]
[name]Joel[/name]
[name]Lawrence[/name] (rather than [name]Clarence[/name])
[name]Terrence[/name]
[name]Rhys[/name] (prn [name]Reese[/name])
[name]Reeve[/name]
[name]Reid[/name]
[name]Remy[/name]
[name]Lance[/name] (not my fave but might work since it has a similar ence sound as [name]Clarence[/name]?)
I hope you find the perfect name!
