After my husband decided he didn’t like [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] anymore and I realized the whole [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]/[name_f]Theodora[/name_f] middle name problem would bother me too much, we are stuck finding a name we like again.
My husband is IN [name_f]LOVE[/name_f] with [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] and came up with [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m], but I’m not sure if its the right one.
Here is our new list with names all approved by my husband.
These are pretty much our final names so we don’t need anymore suggestions, but if anyone has any combos or any names we should eliminate, that would be greatly appreciated.
I like all of your first names in varying degrees (that is a very rare event for me :)). I love [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] and [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] for their depth and history and [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] and [name_m]Dashiell[/name_m] for their literary connections. [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] is a fine combo but I think the other names on your list are more interesting.
I love your list! In fact, my two sons are [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] and [name_m]Conrad[/name_m]. I really like [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] and [name_m]Dashiell[/name_m] as well.
Perhaps:
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_m]Conrad[/name_m] [name_m]Marshall[/name_m]
[name_m]Dashiell[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Caspian[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] is a solid choice. [name_m]Desmond[/name_m], [name_m]Bennett[/name_m], [name_m]Dashiell[/name_m], [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m], [name_m]Harrison[/name_m] and especially [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] are great too.
I really don’t like [name_m]Cassian[/name_m], [name_m]Conrad[/name_m] or [name_m]Caspian[/name_m]. [name_m]Cassian[/name_m] just screams “[name_f]Cassie[/name_f]” and these all sound kind of precious & pretentious.
[name_m]Marshall[/name_m], [name_m]Arthur[/name_m], and [name_u]James[/name_u] are good middle names, but [name_u]Blaise[/name_u] and [name_m]Truman[/name_m] aren’t nearly as good. [name_u]Blaise[/name_u] is, like [name_m]Cassian[/name_m] and [name_m]Caspian[/name_m], a bit precious for a non-fictional human being. If you really want one of these, make it a middle name.
Somebody suggested [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] which I actually love, even though [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] isn’t really my style.
My top 5:
[name_m]Harrison[/name_m] - [name_m]Harrison[/name_m] is actually really cute! [name_m]Harry[/name_m] as a nn? I like [name_m]Harrison[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u].
[name_m]Bennett[/name_m] - [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] as a mn?
[name_m]Dashiell[/name_m] - I think I like [name_m]Dashiell[/name_m] the best with your other kids.
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m]
I think once we get it down to two or three we will be set with a boy name. Now all we need to do is come up with a name if this baby turns out to be a girl.
None of them are really my style. If you pronounce [name_m]Dashiell[/name_m] [name_u]Dash[/name_u]-e-el then that would be my pick. Otherwise I would pick [name_m]Bennett[/name_m].
Names I love:
[name_m]Cassian[/name_m]
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] ([name_f]Love[/name_f] the nickname Bast )
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m]
[name_m]Caspian[/name_m] ([name_f]One[/name_f] of my all time favorite names)
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m] and [name_u]James[/name_u] for middle names are my favorites.
Names I don’t:
[name_m]Desmond[/name_m]
[name_m]Conrad[/name_m]
[name_m]Dashiell[/name_m] ([name_m]Don[/name_m]'t understand the pull of this name sorry)
[name_m]Bennett[/name_m]
[name_m]Harrison[/name_m]
[name_m]Marshall[/name_m]
[name_u]Blaise[/name_u] (on the fence with [name_u]Blaise[/name_u], I like it but I don’t think it really goes with anything)
[name_m]Truman[/name_m]
)
