Name for baby brother

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] All—[name_m]Just[/name_m] looking for a little sibset help, my dd is an [name_f]Adriana[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Ana[/name_f] ah-nah and Adge rhymes with [name_f]Paige[/name_f]). We are struggling with a first name for our future little boy that pairs well with her name and a 4 syllable Italian last name.

[name_m]Leo[/name_m]
[name_u]Logan[/name_u]
[name_u]Luca[/name_u]
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] (struggling with a nn for this, I don’t love [name_m]Seb[/name_m] or Sebby and dh doesn’t like [name_u]Ash[/name_u])
[name_u]Theo[/name_u]
[name_m]Xander[/name_m]

TIA for any input!!

I agree with others that [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] would be perfect with [name_f]Adriana[/name_f], and I think @jonquils and @Greyblue had some great nickname ideas! I also really like [name_u]Luca[/name_u], [name_m]Leo[/name_m], or [name_u]Theo[/name_u]. If not one of those, what about:

[name_m]Julius[/name_m]/[name_m]Julian[/name_m]
[name_m]Alexander[/name_m]
[name_u]Nico[/name_u]
[name_m]Damian[/name_m]
[name_m]Enzo[/name_m]
[name_m]Gabriel[/name_m]
[name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m]
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m]
[name_m]Matteo[/name_m]
[name_m]Nathan[/name_m]
[name_m]Ethan[/name_m]

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

[name_f]Adriana[/name_f] nn [name_f]Ana[/name_f] is fancy! I like it!

Here are my thoughts on the list for the little brother-

[name_m]Leo[/name_m]-I like this a lot. It’s a bit short w/[name_f]Adriana[/name_f], but it still fits well. I also like it as a nn for [name_m]Luciano[/name_m] or [name_m]Lorenzo[/name_m] if you want to make it longer & Italian-er.

[name_u]Logan[/name_u]-Meh, this doesn’t do much for me. It’s really over done, & seems bland next to [name_f]Adriana[/name_f].

[name_u]Luca[/name_u]-[name_u]Love[/name_u] it! It’s just a beautiful name. It has such a calming yet romantic vibe. Perfect w/[name_f]Adriana[/name_f].

[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] (struggling with a nn for this, I don’t love [name_m]Seb[/name_m] or Sebby and dh doesn’t like [name_u]Ash[/name_u])-Oh, [name_u]Ash[/name_u] is cool! I never though of that as a [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] nn. I do like Bash though. Another one that I never see suggested is [name_m]Satch[/name_m]. Isn’t that cool? [name_f]Adriana[/name_f] & [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] are fantastic.

[name_u]Theo[/name_u]-[name_m]Leo[/name_m] I think can stand on its own, but [name_u]Theo[/name_u] just seems so nick-namey. [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] nn [name_u]Theo[/name_u] is darling. Getting pretty popular though, & not my first pick w/[name_f]Adriana[/name_f].

[name_m]Xander[/name_m]-I’m picky. I like this one better as a nn too. [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] nn [name_m]Xander[/name_m] would be cool.

A few more ideas-

[name_m]Alexander[/name_m]/[name_m]Dex[/name_m]

[name_m]Augustus[/name_m]/[name_m]Augie[/name_m]/[name_u]Gus[/name_u]

[name_m]Bastian[/name_m]/Bash

[name_m]Crispin[/name_m]

[name_m]Caspar[/name_m]/[name_m]Cas[/name_m]/Caspi

[name_m]Caspian[/name_m]/[name_m]Cas[/name_m]/Caspi

[name_m]Cassius[/name_m]/[name_m]Cas[/name_m]

[name_m]Caius[/name_m]

[name_m]Carlo[/name_m]

[name_m]Dashiell[/name_m]/[name_u]Dash[/name_u]

[name_m]Dominic[/name_m]

[name_m]Giuseppe[/name_m]/[name_u]Gus[/name_u]

[name_m]Ivan[/name_m]/[name_m]Ives[/name_m]

[name_m]Julian[/name_m]

[name_m]Massimo[/name_m]/[name_u]Max[/name_u]

[name_u]Nico[/name_u]

[name_m]Rafael[/name_m]/[name_u]Rafe[/name_u]

[name_m]Salvatore[/name_m]/[name_u]Sal[/name_u]/[name_m]Satch[/name_m]

[name_u]Tristan[/name_u]

[name_m]Vincent[/name_m]

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps. :slight_smile:

I love [name_u]Luca[/name_u]! [name_m]Leo[/name_m] would be my second choice.

I met a little [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] once who went by Basa (bah-sa).

I think that [name_f]Adriana[/name_f] & [name_u]Luca[/name_u] pair beautifully together, and [name_u]Luca[/name_u] is such a strong yet sweet name individually, too. It’s definitely my pick from your list.

[name_m]Leo[/name_m], [name_u]Luca[/name_u], [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] and [name_u]Theo[/name_u] sound great for [name_f]Adriana[/name_f]’s little brother! I love your daughter’s name :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
I think [name_u]Luca[/name_u] and [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] are my favorite options.

[name_f]My[/name_f] vote is on [name_u]Luca[/name_u]. It goes very well with [name_f]Adriana[/name_f], and will almost certainly suit an Italian last name. The others aren’t bad, but they just don’t pair as well with [name_f]Adriana[/name_f], in my opinion.

Thank you all for your input and thoughtful responses but I need to resurrect this thread—I thought DH and I finally agreed on [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] for our baby boy. Turns out he is still not 100%. We’re now discussing the name, [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] and while I like [name_m]Jacob[/name_m], I just don’t know that it goes with [name_f]Adriana[/name_f]. Am I wrong? Could it work? I still love [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m].

I like [name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_m]Xander[/name_m]. I have a [name_m]Leo[/name_m] and I was worried it was too short compared to his brother but it’s fine and works well.

Could [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] go by bastian?

So DH actually came around to using [name_u]Ash[/name_u] as a nn for [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] which I’m loving. I think we would go with [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_m]Leo[/name_m] but now [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] has thrown in a new curveball. :sob:

I love [name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_m]Xander[/name_m] together!

I think [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_m]Leo[/name_m] feels like such a natural pairing with [name_f]Adriana[/name_f] and both [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] and [name_m]Leo[/name_m] are two of my favorite names so it definitely gets my vote over [name_m]Jacob[/name_m], however I don’t think [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] sounds bad with [name_f]Adriana[/name_f] at all! It’s a really nice name as well.
Maybe it would be a good compromise to use [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] (or [name_m]Jake[/name_m] or [name_m]Jack[/name_m]) as a middle name with [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m], unless you feel strongly attached to [name_m]Leo[/name_m]?
