Name for a little brother to Colin-HELP!

My husband and I have a 13 month old named [name]Colin[/name] (not his original name, given after he didn’t look like his chosen name). We are expecting another little boy at the end of [name]August[/name] and have about 10 names. I want the names to go together, to be preppy, a little southern and strong! Please give us suggestions or feedback. I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Reed[/name], but my husband won’t bend even though he named [name]Colin[/name]. Help! Here they are:

[name]Reed[/name]

[name]Reid[/name]

Guerrant

[name]Beckett[/name]

[name]Garrett[/name]

[name]Reese[/name]

[name]Blane[/name]

[name]Worth[/name]

[name]Nolan[/name]

[name]Selby[/name]

[name]Reeve[/name]

Middle name will be [name]Edward[/name] or [name]Richardson[/name]

Please any help or suggestions???

i’m in the same boat, due at the end of august and struggling to find a good boys name too. i really like reed/reid as well, that’s a strong name that isn’t too popular. i see a last name as first name trend in the names you like so what about…

[name]Harrison[/name]
[name]Dalton[/name]
[name]Cooper[/name]
[name]Barrett[/name]
[name]Jefferson[/name]
[name]Tyler[/name]
[name]Hamilton[/name]
[name]Brennan[/name]

Thank you! Those are terrific too! I love [name]Reed[/name] so much! I am hoping that when the baby comes and after all that labor he will just melt and let me name him [name]Reed[/name], since he named [name]Colin[/name]:slight_smile:

[name]Colin[/name] [name]John[/name] [name]Faber[/name]
[name]Reed[/name]/[name]Reid[/name] [name]Edward[/name] [name]Faber[/name]

Thoughts?

[name]Reed[/name] is a very handsome name, too bad your DH won’t budge. I like [name]Beckett[/name] & [name]Brennan[/name] with [name]Colin[/name] some others I could see

[name]Bennett[/name]
[name]Graham[/name]
[name]Blake[/name]
[name]Emmett[/name]
[name]Henry[/name]
[name]Louis[/name]
[name]Liam[/name]
[name]Miller[/name]
[name]Rhys[/name]
[name]Sampson[/name]
[name]Tristan[/name]

Good [name]Luck[/name]!

I like [name]Reece[/name] and [name]Nolan[/name]. They are actually on my short list. My first sons name is [name]Tristan[/name] and I think that would go good with [name]Colin[/name].

I love [name]Reid[/name]. It is the best name on your list imo. I think it goes really well with [name]Colin[/name].

Others:
[name]Grant[/name]- This one would be perfect too.
[name]Gage[/name]
[name]Alec[/name]
[name]Finn[/name]
[name]Griffin[/name]
[name]Graham[/name]
[name]Patrick[/name]
[name]Quinn[/name]
[name]Rory[/name]
[name]Ronan[/name]
[name]Ross[/name]
[name]Bryce[/name]
[name]Cooper[/name]
[name]Brady[/name]
[name]Lucas[/name]
[name]Ian[/name]
[name]Owen[/name]
[name]Gavin[/name]
[name]Drake[/name]

What was the original name you had picked out for your son? Have you considered using that for this baby?

[name]Reed[/name] [name]Edward[/name] is really handsome and sounds great with [name]Colin[/name]! Why doesn’t he like it? Out of your other names I think [name]Garret[/name] goes really well with [name]Colin[/name]. I like the similar name [name]Barrett[/name]. I also really like [name]Blane[/name]. Some other names I think would sound nice with [name]Colin[/name] are [name]Gabriel[/name], [name]Abram[/name], [name]Deacon[/name] and [name]Grant[/name].

I think [name]Rhys[/name] [name]Edward[/name] is perfect. [name]Rhys[/name] is the original Welsh spelling of the male name but said just like [name]Reese[/name]. I think it is much more masculine this spelling. I also think it’s nice since [name]Colin[/name] and [name]Rhys[/name] are both Celtic names. It’s cool, strong, unique and preppy.

[name]Cooper[/name] [name]Richardson[/name]… very handsome!!

WOW!!! What fantastic suggestions! Thank you all soooo sooo much! [name]Colin[/name]'s original name was [name]Reef[/name] since we are a beach, surf and sailing family. He was born on [name]St[/name]. Patties [name]Day[/name] and just did NOT look like a [name]Reef[/name]. He was rather serious and sophisticated. I know how can a baby be those characteristics, but he does. He always holds his hands and is such a gentleman. He cracks us up!

aww that is too cute!!! (reminds me of family ties with [name]Alex[/name]!)… not sure… IF you did pick [name]Cooper[/name] [name]Richardson[/name], you might fall into the having to name yours kids C names… not sure if that is an issue. i know that’s a concern for some people, but i personally think if you love the name do it!

Update:
BIG NEWS! Husband said whatever name you like dear! Let’s just hope it stays that way!

Here is the new list:

[name]Reid[/name]

[name]Beckett[/name]

[name]Garrett[/name]

[name]Rhys[/name]

[name]Barrett[/name]

Wow! Well now that’s almost even harder as all your choices are great!!

I think [name]Colin[/name] and [name]Garrett[/name] sound great together! Good [name]Luck[/name]!!![/quote]

took the words out of my mouth!!! [name]Colin[/name] and [name]Garrett[/name]!!!

I love [name]Colin[/name] and [name]Rhys[/name] or [name]Colin[/name] and [name]Reid[/name]!

You love [name]Reid[/name]/[name]Reed[/name] so name him that if it fits him. [name]Love[/name] [name]Reid[/name] spelling best. [name]Reid[/name] [name]Edward[/name] is very nice!
