Need Help picking a baby boy name

[name]Hi[/name], I have some baby boy names that I like. They will go with the last name Schindler. Here is my list. Let me know which ones you like best. Middle names we are thinking are [name]Henry[/name] (my father-in-law’s middle name-he’s still living) or [name]Roland[/name]-we would pronounce it [name]RO[/name]-lend (my dad’s first name-he passed away years ago). We were also thinking of spelling it [name]Rowland[/name]. Thanks!

[name]Austin[/name]
[name]Drew[/name]
[name]Jack[/name]
[name]Lucas[/name]
[name]Sawyer[/name]

I would definitely keep [name]Roland[/name] spelled the way your father did - keep it in the family! And while I like [name]Henry[/name] more than [name]Roland[/name], I would probably use [name]Roland[/name] anyway due to the fact that he has passed and your father-in-law has not.

[name]Jack[/name] is my favorite out of those names - I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Jack[/name]. I think [name]Jack[/name] or [name]Drew[/name] would be the best choices with your middle and last name since both your last name and both middle name options are each 2 syllables and I wouldn’t want to use a first name with 2 as well… but that’s just my preference. If you don’t care about syllables, [name]Jack[/name] is still my favorite and [name]Sawyer[/name] is my second fave!

[name]Lucas[/name] [name]Henry[/name] would be nice. [name]Lucas[/name] is my favorite from your list. I like the name [name]Lucas[/name] in full a lot, but not [name]Luke[/name]. The s on the end of [name]Lucas[/name] would blend in with the S of your last name a bit though. My name did this before I took my husband’s name and it doesn’t bother me, but I know it does bother some people.
[name]Andrew[/name] [name]Roland[/name] nn [name]Drew[/name] would be really handsome.

All great ideas! I keep initials in consideration and wouldn’t use any B first names to avoid the B.S. initials. I do like the original spelling of [name]Roland[/name] too! I don’t think the other family would feel owed for the next time if we chose to use a name from my side as DH has a big family and others have used his fathers first name for their sons middle names. (No one has used his father’s middle name [name]Henry[/name] so we wanted to consider it). I like [name]Zachary[/name] as a first name, my DH is not sure about it. Since my DH’s family is so big there are many names that we wouldn’t use as some have been used a few times for uncles and nephews. Thanks for the ideas and other name options. Very helpful!
