My husband and I are expecting our second child in about a month. We are stuck on a first name for a boy. If it’s a girl, we are set ([name_f]Maren[/name_f] [name_f]Barbara[/name_f]), but boys are proving to be more difficult. Our son is two and a half and named [name_m]Leif[/name_m] [name_m]David[/name_m].
Considerations-
- We have a fairly rare, hard to spell, [name_m]German[/name_m] last name that starts with ‘B.’
- My husband loves Scandinavian cultures and languages (significant part of his heritage too.)
- I am a Spanish teacher and use the language frequently at home.
- We like rare names in the US, and tend to prefer the true pronunciations of names that are more common in other languages ([name_m]Leif[/name_m]=Layf not [name_u]Leaf[/name_u]).
- Middle name will probably be [name_m]Frederick[/name_m].
Thank you in advance for any ideas!
