Last time around was hard enough, but my husband and I finally settled on [name_m]Hugh[/name_m] [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m], and we love it. [name_m]Hugh[/name_m] was my grandfather and uncle, so that’s how it got in our list. But now we are having a hard time deciding on his brother’s name. We’re had listed two other options last time, “[name_m]Robert[/name_m] [name_m]Gordon[/name_m]” (using my husband’s grandfather’s and his middle name and the same initials), and “[name_m]George[/name_m] [name_u]Douglas[/name_u]” (my dad is [name_u]Douglas[/name_u]), but though we still like them, we’re not as crazy about them as we were about [name_m]Hugh[/name_m]. Would love ideas to toss around! We love old names, we’re very traditional, and we like worthy connections, too (ie. [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m] after St. [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m]…). Can’t wait to hear ideas! 
Oh, and we still love our girls’ options: “[name_f]Katherine[/name_f] [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f]” and “[name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]”, both using grandmothers’ names. [name_m]Just[/name_m] to give more ideas of our tastes…
[name_m]Ambrose[/name_m] was my first thought for [name_m]Hugh[/name_m]'s brother, but since you’ve already used it…
[name_m]Frederick[/name_m]
[name_u]Percy[/name_u]
[name_u]Quincy[/name_u]
[name_m]Pascal[/name_m]
[name_m]Gregory[/name_m]
[name_m]Peter[/name_m]
[name_m]Vincent[/name_m]
[name_m]Richard[/name_m]
[name_m]Tobias[/name_m]
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m]
[name_m]Stephen[/name_m]
[name_m]Edmund[/name_m]
[name_m]Barnaby[/name_m]
[name_m]Silas[/name_m]
[name_m]Edgar[/name_m]
[name_m]Calvin[/name_m]
[name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_u]Ira[/name_u]
[name_m]Reginald[/name_m] ([name_u]Reggie[/name_u] has a lot of retro appeal)
[name_m]Ulysses[/name_m]
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m]
[name_u]Leland[/name_u]
[name_m]Otis[/name_m]
Anything appeal?
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] was my first thought! I love [name_m]Hugh[/name_m] and [name_m]Leo[/name_m] together. 
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Gordon[/name_m] would be so handsome.
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m]
[name_m]Aurelius[/name_m]
[name_m]Rome[/name_m]
[name_u]River[/name_u]
Well, I’d steer clear of any names which could be shortened to [name_u]Lou[/name_u] (unless you’re into rhyming)
which is too bad, b/c I like [name_m]Lewis[/name_m].
Anyway, if [name_m]Lewis[/name_m] is out, then I suggest:
[name_m]Edmund[/name_m]
[name_u]Michael[/name_u]
[name_m]Malcolm[/name_m]
[name_u]Lawrence[/name_u]
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_u]Vernon[/name_u]
[name_m]Milton[/name_m]
[name_m]Frances[/name_m]
[name_m]Steven[/name_m]
[name_m]Callum[/name_m] or [name_m]Calvin[/name_m]
[name_m]Bruce[/name_m]
[name_m]Peter[/name_m]
and I wanted to second [name_m]Gregory[/name_m].
Best of luck on your name hunt.
Maybe for a fn…
[name_m]Terrence[/name_m]
[name_m]Donald[/name_m]
[name_m]Randall[/name_m]
[name_m]Vincent[/name_m]
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m]
[name_m]Malachy[/name_m] ([name_m]Mac[/name_m])
[name_m]Ivan[/name_m]
And maybe for a mn…
[name_m]Clement[/name_m]
[name_m]Hector[/name_m]
[name_m]Rufus[/name_m]
[name_m]Cyrus[/name_m], [name_m]Cyril[/name_m]
[name_m]Conrad[/name_m]
[name_m]Terrence[/name_m]
[name_m]Anders[/name_m]
[name_m]Barnaby[/name_m], [name_m]Barnabas[/name_m]
Thanks, y’all! I’ve pulled the lists, and we’re going to talk more this weekend - I’m awful at names, and drug my feet so long last time, maybe I can get a head start this time! I’m especially liking [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] and [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] right now…
[name_m]Hugh[/name_m] and [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] sound absolutely dashing together! I also like the idea of [name_m]Vincent[/name_m], [name_m]Gregory[/name_m], [name_m]Patrick[/name_m], and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] as a brother for [name_m]Hugh[/name_m].
I have to say never been a big fan of [name_m]Hugh[/name_m] or [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m] but wow! Together they are amazing! I am no help at all just wanted to say you did a fantastic job with your first and you will know in your heart when you find the right one for the second. It’s like finding the perfect wedding dress it just clicks! Good luck!
