My husband and I are having a very difficult time finding the right name for baby #2. We are not finding out the sex so we need a boy name and girl name that fits nicely with our older son, [name_u]Dylan[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u]. We have Irish and Jewish heritage and a three syllable last name that starts with Mc.
Here are some options we have considered so far:
Boys:
[name_m]Malcolm[/name_m]
[name_u]Reed[/name_u]
[name_m]Connor[/name_m]
[name_m]Samuel[/name_m], nn [name_u]Sam[/name_u]
[name_u]Dylan[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] and [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] [name_u]Reed[/name_u] looks really nice in my opinion. [name_u]Dylan[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] and [name_f]Leia[/name_f] [name_u]Simone[/name_u] I like as well.
Other suggestions:
[name_u]Dylan[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] and [name_m]Liam[/name_m] [name_m]Jacob[/name_m]
[name_u]Dylan[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] and [name_u]Noah[/name_u] [name_m]Callum[/name_m]
[name_u]Dylan[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] and [name_u]Finn[/name_u] [name_m]Oliver[/name_m]
[name_u]Dylan[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] and [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_f]Niamh[/name_f]
[name_u]Dylan[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] and [name_f]Isla[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]
[name_u]Dylan[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] and [name_f]Maya[/name_f] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f]
My favorites are [name_f]Mia[/name_f] [name_u]Simone[/name_u] and [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] [name_u]Reed[/name_u]. I also like [name_f]Leia[/name_f] but prefer the [name_f]Leah[/name_f] spelling.
I like the idea of having another sea meaning name
[name_u]Dylan[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] and [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] [name_f]Colette[/name_f]
[name_u]Dylan[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] and [name_u]Kai[/name_u] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
[name_u]Dylan[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] and [name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_u]Simone[/name_u]
[name_u]Dylan[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] and [name_f]Marissa[/name_f] [name_f]Jolie[/name_f]
[name_u]Dylan[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] and [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
[name_u]Dylan[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] and [name_u]Sheridan[/name_u] [name_f]Jolie[/name_f]
[name_u]Love[/name_u] these suggestions. Unfortunately, a few of these beautiful girl names are too close to the names of my nieces/close friends so they are off the list. But I coincidentally just added [name_f]Mira[/name_f] to the list today. Thanks!
When it comes to [name_f]Leia[/name_f] vs [name_f]Leah[/name_f], I get concerned that everyone would pronounce the name [name_u]LEE[/name_u]-uh if we used the latter spelling, and we much prefer the pronunciation [name_m]LAY[/name_m]-uh. I know the Hebrew pronunciation for [name_f]Leah[/name_f] is [name_m]LAY[/name_m]-uh, but I think most people would get it wrong. What do you think?
My concern with [name_f]Leia[/name_f] is that it is too linked to [name_f]Star[/name_f] Wars. I love the name on its own and I am not a SW fan. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you think people can get past the [name_f]Princess[/name_f] [name_f]Leia[/name_f] reference?
I was thinking [name_f]Leia[/name_f] was too linked with [name_f]Star[/name_f] Wars, but that’s probably because I read the Nameberry description which mentioned it. Not sure others would know how [name_f]Princess[/name_f] [name_f]Leia[/name_f] spelled it. I do think most Leahs pronounce it [name_u]LEE[/name_u]-ah in the US, so she would have to correct people.
My husband and I cannot agree on a middle name for our first born due this spring. [name_u]Baby[/name_u] is a boy. The first name is [name_m]Bryson[/name_m] (which we 100% agree on) and I want my father’s name to be the middle name which is [name_m]Anthony[/name_m]. My husband wants something trendy and short, and he doesn’t care if the name has meaning to us or not. Having my father’s first name as my baby middle name means a lot to me. What is your very honest opinion on the name [name_m]Bryson[/name_m] [name_m]Anthony[/name_m] for a boy? I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] it. My husband doesn’t think [name_m]Anthony[/name_m] sounds good with [name_m]Bryson[/name_m]. My husband is also the most particular man on the planet. Would love outsider opinions.
[name_u]Dylan[/name_u] & [name_m]Connor[/name_m] are my favorite brother set; [name_u]Dylan[/name_u] & [name_f]Mia[/name_f] my favorite brother and sister set. [name_u]Dylan[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] and [name_f]Mia[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] would be just perfection, imo:)
