I like [name_m]Walden[/name_m] because I think it fits the best with the names of my children,
but I also like [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] because it isn’t as expected. I do think I am over-thinking it though. We will go with what feels best when baby is born, but it is fun to get your opinions too.
[name_m]Delmer[/name_m] and [name_u]June[/name_u] both have very rounded sounds, and so does [name_m]Walden[/name_m].
[name_m]Atticus[/name_m] is very spiky in comparison. You’re right that it’s more unexpected.
I like both actually, though I voted for [name_m]Walden[/name_m] because [name_u]Wally[/name_u] is super cute and the book [name_m]Walden[/name_m] is so lovely.
I like them both a lot! I voted for [name_m]Walden[/name_m] though as I think it fits with the other names better than [name_m]Atticus[/name_m].
[name_m]Atticus[/name_m]! [name_f]My[/name_f] first thought with [name_m]Walden[/name_m] was the bad guy/executioner in the [name_m]Harry[/name_m] [name_m]Potter[/name_m] series and it also has the potential to be shortened to ‘[name_u]Wally[/name_u]’ which is slang for idiot/fool where I live.
With [name_m]Delmer[/name_m] and [name_u]June[/name_u], I think [name_m]Walden[/name_m] is the best “fit”. The [name_m]Roman[/name_m] [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] sounds kind of overpowering next to the other two older siblings.
[name_m]Delmer[/name_m], [name_u]June[/name_u], and [name_m]Walden[/name_m]
Hooray! This is fun! Thank you for your thoughts and input.
I like [name_m]Walden[/name_m]. [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] seems a bit too heavy for a baby boy to carry.
I forgot [name_m]Walden[/name_m] was Macnair’s first name in [name_m]Harry[/name_m] [name_m]Potter[/name_m].
I think [name_m]Walden[/name_m] is a wonderful choice and it goes perfectly with [name_m]Delmer[/name_m] and [name_u]June[/name_u]. Also, [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] is only unexpected in how it sounds with the sibset, but in other terms (trendiness, for example) it’s way more expected than something like [name_m]Walden[/name_m].
Thank you! Yes, that is what I meant. [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] is unexpected in the sib set. I forgot about the [name_m]Harry[/name_m] [name_m]Potter[/name_m] reference too!
Personally I think [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] goes better as the sibset, I also happen to like it more as a name. [name_m]Walden[/name_m] I don’t care for. [name_m]Walter[/name_m] is nice though.
I really like all of the names you listed, but I especially like [name_m]Walden[/name_m] with your sibset.
Thank you for your input, and for voting! 
[name_m]Walden[/name_m] fits best in a sibling set of [name_m]Delmer[/name_m] and [name_u]June[/name_u].
I also prefer [name_m]Walden[/name_m] with [name_m]Delmer[/name_m] and [name_u]June[/name_u]!
[name_m]Walden[/name_m] goes perfectly with [name_m]Delmer[/name_m] and [name_u]June[/name_u]. It truly fits.
[name_m]Atticus[/name_m] is a very handsome and fresh name in its own right. I guess you will just have to see when baby comes which one fits him best!
Thank you for your input!! This poll was fun!
