Naming DS#2 is way more difficult

DS#1 is [name]Liam[/name] [name]David[/name]. It was a name we had picked out early and never wavered from. Now I am about 35 weeks along with DS#2 and we are all over the place with names.

Our issue mostly is we both want [name]Clayton[/name] as a middle name (family name) but our last name begins with C. [name]Colin[/name] was our first choice but that is way to many Cs.

These are names that are on the list (that we both agree on.)

[name]Rhys[/name] [name]Clayton[/name]
[name]Brennan[/name] [name]Clayton[/name]
[name]Colin[/name] [name]Clayton[/name]
[name]Miles[/name] [name]Clayton[/name]

Any thoughts? Suggestions?

[name]Miles[/name] [name]Clayton[/name] has a lovely flow to it and isn’t too many c’s! [name]Lovely[/name] name choices! Good luck!

I like [name]Miles[/name] [name]Clayton[/name] best, and [name]Miles[/name] and [name]Liam[/name] goes brilliantly together! :slight_smile:

[name]Brennan[/name] is my favorite, but doesn’t sound the absolute best with [name]Clayton[/name]. Here’s my top 3:

  1. [name]Miles[/name] [name]Clayton[/name]
  2. [name]Rhys[/name] [name]Clayton[/name]
  3. [name]Brennan[/name] [name]Clayton[/name]

My favourite on your list is [name]Rhys[/name]…and I also think it goes best with [name]Liam[/name]. [name]Rhys[/name] [name]Clayton[/name] sounds great in my opinion. Good luck!

I really like [name]Rhys[/name] [name]Clayton[/name] or [name]Miles[/name] [name]Clayton[/name]! Name-wise, [name]Rhys[/name] would be my preferred choice for a FN, but I think [name]Liam[/name] and [name]Miles[/name] sounds lovely for brothers. As combos, I like [name]Rhys[/name] [name]Clayton[/name] and [name]Miles[/name] [name]Clayton[/name] about equally. I don’t think you could go wrong with either choice–they’re both lovely!

Good luck!

I think I am leaning more towards [name]Rhys[/name]. I think we are going to have to wait until we meet him.

Thank you!

[name]Rhys[/name] [name]Clayton[/name] for sure!

[name]Miles[/name] [name]Clayton[/name] gets my vote.

I love [name]Rhys[/name]. Very handsome and a nice Celtic connection to brother [name]Liam[/name].

All four are decent options, but I also give [name]Rhys[/name] and [name]Miles[/name] the edge, because [name]Colin[/name] and [name]Brennan[/name] do have that -en sound at the end, which echoes [name]Clayton[/name] a little too closely.

Another vote for [name]Rhys[/name]! I agree that [name]Colin[/name] [name]Clayton[/name] C…is too many C’s, and [name]Colin[/name] and [name]Brennan[/name] are a little rhymey with [name]Clayton[/name]. [name]Rhys[/name] goes so well with [name]Liam[/name] too. [name]Miles[/name] is nice as well (it’s my hubby’s name so I’m biased) but it is very popular these days. I am in the same boat as you with DS#2 but am due in less than a week. Good luck!

[name]Colin[/name] or [name]Miles[/name] I say! By the way I love [name]Liam[/name] [name]David[/name]!

I am another fan of [name]Rhys[/name]. [name]Miles[/name] is nice too and would be my second choice, but I really just adore the way [name]Rhys[/name] [name]Clayton[/name] and [name]Liam[/name] [name]David[/name] sound together. =]
