I am looking for a baby name to go well with [name]Charlie[/name] ([name]Charles[/name] is his full name) for our second boy. I considered [name]Henry[/name] for a long time, and [name]LOVE[/name] it, but it is crazy how many people I know who are naming their baby [name]Henry[/name], so I’ve ruled it out. I like really like traditional, timeless names for boys. Here are the names that we are considering, any comments/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I am not sure if [name]Jerry[/name] is too random, or just random enough! And, I am starting to think that [name]Sam[/name] and [name]August[/name] are too common!! Thanks in advance!
[name]Jerry[/name] ([name]Gerald[/name]) - I’m not that fond of this one; [name]Jerry[/name] seems dated, and not as classic as [name]Charlie[/name] and [name]Charles[/name].
[name]Sam[/name] ([name]Samuel[/name]) - I love, and I don’t think it is too popular at all, considering what a classic it is.
[name]Augie[/name]/[name]Gus[/name] ([name]Augustus[/name]) - [name]Augie[/name] reminds me of orgy … also, I personally can’t get over the [name]Augustus[/name] Gloop association, but I know a lot of people like this name. It is a bit more flamboyant than [name]Charles[/name], though …
Thanks! I have the same fears about [name]Jerry[/name]!! Hadn’t thought about what you said about [name]Augie[/name], so I really appreciate it. Also, thanks for sending suggestions. Two boys is way too hard!!
[name]Jerry[/name] ([name]Gerald[/name]): This one feels dated to me, but I do love your other ideas!
[name]Sam[/name] ([name]Samuel[/name]): I think [name]Samuel[/name] is great! (It’s popular though…)
[name]Augie[/name]/[name]Gus[/name] ([name]Augustus[/name]): I love this! I’m more of an [name]Augustin[/name] fan (one of my favorites), only because of [name]Augustus[/name] Gloop in [name]Charlie[/name] and the Chocolate Factory. Wait! Because of [name]Charlie[/name] and the Chocolate Factory, with [name]Charlie[/name] and [name]Augustus[/name] Gloop, I wouldn’t use this name.
I like [name]Samuel[/name] and love [name]Henry[/name] too. I agree with the others about [name]Augustus[/name] reminding of them of [name]Augustus[/name] Gloop. Ha! I prefer [name]August[/name]. I don’t think it’s too popular and it’s definitely not as common as [name]Samuel[/name]. I don’t think [name]Jerry[/name] fits in with these names, it seems more dated.
If you think [name]Samuel[/name] is too common how about [name]Simon[/name] or [name]Solomon[/name]?
