We have 2 kids & are expecting #3 any day. We have a list of girls names picked out but are struggling a bit with boys names.
Our kids are [name]Sebastian[/name] & [name]Paulina[/name] which are both classic names, but not too common in Vancouver, BC, [name]Canada[/name] (where we live). Our last name is [name]Smith[/name]. We want to pick names that have more than one syllable (at least) to ‘flow’ with the siblings’ names. We also want to avoid names that start with either an S or a P. We want to pick a name that is classic like the other kids but not too common. Our list (that both Mum & Dad approve of!) consists of:
[name]Harrington[/name]
[name]Cormack[/name] (family name)
[name]Hugo[/name]
[name]Jarvis[/name]
Heston
We have said nay to:
[name]Balthazar[/name]
[name]Asher[/name]
[name]Atticus[/name]
[name]Seamus[/name]
[name]Turner[/name]
[name]Spencer[/name]
[name]Nathaniel[/name]
[name]Hayden[/name]
Any comments about the above? Any other suggestions?? HELP appreciated!
I would choose [name]Hugo[/name] by a mile. It sounds so stylish with [name]Sebastian[/name] and [name]Paulina[/name]. The only other name I like is [name]Cormack[/name]. [name]Harrington[/name] to me is a bit too much name and sounds like it’s trying too hard to be distinctive, while [name]Jarvis[/name] is a name I have never really liked; to me it just doesn’t sound right. Heston is okay, but [name]Hugo[/name] still does it for me.
Some other names I can see working with [name]Sebastian[/name] and [name]Paulina[/name]:
I also love [name]Hugo[/name]! Another name I thought that would work well in your sibset is [name]Olivier[/name]. And yes, I mean [name]Olivier[/name], not [name]Oliver[/name] in case you thought I had a typo in there. Good luck!
I also love [name]Hugo[/name], it’s my favorite from your list and would go great with [name]Sebastian[/name] and [name]Paulina[/name]. Here are some more 3 syllable selections that are somewhat classic,quirky, but not too popular:
[name]Adrian[/name]
Alaisdair nn [name]Alec[/name]
[name]Augustine[/name]/[name]Augustus[/name] nn [name]Gus[/name]*
[name]Barnaby[/name] nn [name]Abe[/name]*
[name]Benedict[/name]
[name]Dominic[/name]*
[name]Emmanuel[/name]*
[name]Everett[/name]
[name]Leopold[/name] nn [name]Leo[/name]
[name]Lucian[/name] nn [name]Luca[/name]/[name]Luke[/name]*
[name]Malachi[/name] nn [name]Mac[/name]*
[name]Marius[/name]
[name]Tobias[/name] nn [name]Toby[/name]
[name]Xavier[/name]*
I really like Heston out of the names you picked and think it would go well: [name]Sebastian[/name], [name]Paulina[/name] & Heston. I also think [name]Harrington[/name] would be a good fit, but I thought about the nn [name]Harry[/name], and that it might seem too common for a name like [name]Smith[/name].
[name]Hugo[/name] is ridiculously perfect with your sibset! By far the best choice from your list. [name]Sebastian[/name], [name]Paulina[/name] and [name]Hugo[/name] sounds terrific. Btw love the use of [name]Paulina[/name]- very pretty and unheard of these days.
I vote [name]Cormack[/name]! I think it has super cool nicknames and looks good with [name]Sebastian[/name] and [name]Paulina[/name]. [name]Hugo[/name] is a great name but seems brief after your first two.
