We are due with #2 later this year, and haven’t been able to agree to a name for our second boy.
Brother to [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]…
Top picks that both hubby and I agreed on:
[name_m]Peregrin[/name_m]
[name_m]Magnus[/name_m]
[name_m]Remus[/name_m]
My favorites :
[name_u]Sullivan[/name_u]
Hezakai
His favorites :
[name_m]William[/name_m]
Our last name starts with an S and ends with -man (pronounced “min”) so I feel our top three picks rhyme or too many S sounds… thought?
Plus how usable are these names? I’m so in love with [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] that nothing has come close to the same feeling. We did pick [name_m]Peregrin[/name_m] from LotR and [name_m]Remus[/name_m] from HP. So those are not negative connotations for us.
I really like Sullivan and Theodore together. I think Hezekai , Remus and Peregrin aren’t usable but Magnus could also work. Sullivan Magnus would be really handsome.

I agree with the previous poster that [name_m]Magnus[/name_m] and [name_u]Sullivan[/name_u] are your best options. I adore [name_m]Peregrin[/name_m] and [name_m]Remus[/name_m] but they’d be too uncommon next to [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]. I don’t think that your surname starting with an S should keep you from using [name_m]Magnus[/name_m]!

[name_u]Sullivan[/name_u] reminds me of [name_m]Donovan[/name_m], [name_m]Vaughan[/name_m], [name_m]Beckett[/name_m], [name_u]Lennon[/name_u]/[name_u]Lennox[/name_u], [name_m]Maddox[/name_m], [name_m]Alfred[/name_m], [name_m]Albert[/name_m], [name_m]Bennett[/name_m], [name_u]Spencer[/name_u], [name_m]Gideon[/name_m], [name_m]Edwin[/name_m]
