My name is Breckan
DH is [name]Brian[/name]
DS1 is [name]Samuel[/name] [name]George[/name]
DS2 is [name]Brant[/name] [name]Christopher[/name]
Dog is [name]Max[/name]
DS3 is due in 2 weeks!
DH had his heart set on the name [name]Andon[/name] from about 17 weeks on. I initially agreed, but after thinking (obsessing) over it, I decided I do not like it. I don’t like saying [name]Brant[/name] and [name]Andon[/name] (too many “and’s” together). PLUS - neither of us like the nn’s [name]Andy[/name], [name]Don[/name], or [name]Donnie[/name].
I had my heart set on [name]August[/name], nn Auggie. DH hates it.
My name list (nothing jumps out at him):
[name]August[/name] nn Auggie
[name]Abram[/name]
[name]Ezra[/name]
[name]Porter[/name]
[name]Wilder[/name]
[name]Archer[/name]
HIS name list (he only got through A and B)
[name]Bryson[/name]/Bricen
Brayson
I can live with [name]Bryson[/name], but then everybody in our family would have the “Br” combo except for my DS [name]Sam[/name]. He’s 14 from my first marriage, and I’d rather not do that to him. I am impatiently waiting for more names out of DH but I fear he will not have any more.
Can anyone come up with some suggestions based on his like for [name]Andon[/name]/[name]Bryson[/name] and my like for Auggie?
I know a lot of 3-child families where two have names that start with the same letter (mine included). I really don’t think it’s nearly as big of a deal in terms of exclusion as parents on name boards seem to think it is. That being said, I don’t like [name]Bryson[/name], lol. My brothers are actually named [name]Bryan[/name] and [name]Brett[/name], which are really similar to [name]Bryson[/name] and [name]Brant[/name] My mom really liked [name]Craig[/name] for [name]Brett[/name]. [name]Sam[/name], [name]Brant[/name] and [name]Craig[/name] sound good together.
To mix [name]Andon[/name] and [name]August[/name], I think the logical first suggestion is [name]Austin[/name]/ [name]Austen[/name].
A couple others that come to mind:
[name]Anson[/name]
[name]Asher[/name]
[name]Archer[/name]
[name]Angus[/name]
[name]Otis[/name] (? Grasping at straws, haha)
[name]Tavish[/name] (I like this a lot! It’s surnamey like [name]Andon[/name], but has some similar sounds to [name]August[/name])
I have to admit that while I’m not one to get bothered when two kids in one family share initials, a family with Breckan, [name]Bryan[/name], [name]Brant[/name], and [name]Bryson[/name] would definitely catch my attention (getting a tad Duggarish), and [name]Sam[/name]'s name would stand out to me as not quite included. I would steer clear of another Br- name myself.
To match his style to yours, it seems to me you need a surname with a vintage ring but a more modern sound (no wonder you’re having trouble in the middle, haha). What about [name]Sam[/name], [name]Brant[/name], and…
[name]Gage[/name]
[name]Winslow[/name] (nn [name]Win[/name]?)
[name]Garrett[/name] (nn [name]Rhett[/name] if you like)
[name]Conall[/name]
[name]Crew[/name]
[name]Curran[/name]
[name]Drake[/name]
[name]Pierce[/name]/[name]Piers[/name]
[name]Penn[/name]
[name]Rafferty[/name] (nn [name]Rafe[/name]?)
[name]Rory[/name]
[name]Grady[/name]
[name]Rigby[/name]
[name]Thatcher[/name]
[name]Trace[/name] or [name]Trey[/name]
[name]Cyrus[/name] or [name]Silas[/name]
[name]Hale[/name]
[name]Granger[/name]
[name]Gannon[/name]
[name]Jacoby[/name]
PS I’m sorry for any repeats. I just skimmed the previous posts, but I think [name]Tavish[/name], [name]Tobin[/name], [name]Lincoln[/name] (love nn [name]Cole[/name]), and [name]Austin[/name] are great ideas!
[name]Asher[/name], [name]Declan[/name], [name]Harrison[/name] were all on my list with dh not liking them. I think I will suggest [name]Grady[/name], [name]Thatcher[/name], and [name]Rafferty[/name] ([name]Rafe[/name]) and see how that goes!
I would not want to be compared to the Duggars! Ha ha!
I would not use another BR name. I love [name]Brant[/name] and [name]Samuel[/name]!
My first thoughts were:
[name]Brant[/name], [name]Samuel[/name] and [name]Graham[/name]
[name]Brant[/name], [name]Samuel[/name] and [name]Dawson[/name]
[name]Brant[/name], [name]Samuel[/name] and [name]Nolan[/name]
[name]Brant[/name], [name]Samuel[/name] and [name]Trace[/name]
[name]Brant[/name], [name]Samuel[/name] and [name]Grady[/name]
[name]Brant[/name], [name]Samuel[/name] and [name]Jasper[/name]
[name]Brant[/name], [name]Samuel[/name] and [name]Nash[/name]
[name]Brant[/name], [name]Samuel[/name] and [name]Walker[/name]
[name]Brant[/name], [name]Samuel[/name] and [name]Easton[/name]
My mom really liked [name]Craig[/name] for [name]Brett[/name]. [name]Sam[/name], [name]Brant[/name] and [name]Craig[/name] sound good together.
