I am due with my second child the end of [name]August[/name] and my hubby and I have been battling over names! We have finally come up with a list and would love your honest opinions! We have a daughter named [name]Addison[/name] and our last name is [name]Ray[/name]. I have put down some thoughts on middle names as well and would love your thoughts/suggestions on those too!
Thanks!!!
The one I like and I feel goes well with sister [name]Addison[/name] is [name]Flynn[/name] [name]Arthur[/name]. I have always been a fan of [name]Flynn[/name]! And the combo is super dashing. Then would be [name]Oliver[/name] [name]Finnegan[/name]. I am not a fan of the others and I feel they do not compliment [name]Addison[/name]. [name]Elias[/name] I feel has a totally different vibe and [name]Maxwell[/name] 1) think of the Geico pig and 2) ever since [name]Jessica[/name] [name]Simpson[/name] used it that is all I can picture. [name]Just[/name] my opinion!
[name]Elias[/name] [name]Bennett[/name] or [name]Oliver[/name] [name]Finnegan[/name]. Those are great combos you’ve picked out. [name]Maxwell[/name] is nice, too. But I really dislike [name]Flynn[/name], and it has the same “en” sound at the end as your daughter’s name (not sure if that matters to you, though).
[name]Oliver[/name] [name]Finnegan[/name] [name]Ray[/name] gets my vote. The only setback might be the mixing “r” sounds when saying [name]Oliver[/name] [name]Ray[/name].
Thank you all so much for your opinions. We were both kinda leaning more towards [name]Oliver[/name], but like that [name]Flynn[/name] is a little more unique. It looks like I should figure out how to start a poll lol
[name]Oliver[/name] [name]Finnegan[/name] [name]Ray[/name] - I love [name]Oliver[/name], but I’m not sure if [name]Oliver[/name] [name]Ray[/name] has the best flow, it kind of blends to me
[name]Flynn[/name] [name]Arthur[/name] [name]Ray[/name] or [name]Flynn[/name] Ignitus [name]Ray[/name] - [name]Arthur[/name] [name]Ray[/name] also sort of blends, but as it’s the middle it won’t be as obvious. I prefer [name]Flynn[/name] [name]Arthur[/name] to [name]Flynn[/name] Ignitus, the latter middle sounds a bit pretentious to me
[name]Maxwell[/name] [name]Elias[/name] [name]Ray[/name] - [name]Maxwell[/name] [name]Ray[/name] works well, and so does [name]Max[/name] [name]Ray[/name].
[name]Elias[/name] [name]Bennett[/name] [name]Ray[/name] - I’ve never been a fan of [name]Elias[/name], it sounds like ‘he lies’ which puts me off it, but the combo does work well.
[name]Oliver[/name] [name]Finnegan[/name] - nice. matches best with [name]Addison[/name]. Would love [name]Finnegan[/name] [name]Ray[/name] but too matchy with [name]Addison[/name].
[name]Flynn[/name] [name]Arthur[/name] - this is my favorite, but I think [name]Flynn[/name] [name]Ray[/name] is a little choppy.
[name]Flynn[/name] Ignitus - I’m a little confused about Ignitus. Someone else on here had the combo [name]Flynn[/name] [name]Ignatius[/name], which I really like. But Ignitus looks more like “ignite-us”. Is that a misspelling or a different name?
[name]Maxwell[/name] [name]Elias[/name] - nice, but [name]Max[/name] [name]Ray[/name] is even shorter and kind of sounds like X-ray.
[name]Elias[/name] [name]Bennett[/name] - i like this one a lot, [name]Addison[/name] and [name]Elias[/name] sound good together, but seem different stylistically.
I thought writing it out would help me decide, but I’m still torn between [name]Oliver[/name] [name]Finnegan[/name], [name]Flynn[/name] [name]Arthur[/name], and [name]Elias[/name] [name]Bennett[/name].
[name]Oliver[/name] [name]Finnegan[/name] [name]Ray[/name] - My favourite but [name]Oliver[/name] [name]Ray[/name] runs together for me.
[name]Flynn[/name] [name]Arthur[/name] [name]Ray[/name] - My second favourite but again [name]Flynn[/name] [name]Ray[/name] doesn’t sound right to me.
[name]Flynn[/name] Ignitus [name]Ray[/name] - I like [name]Arthur[/name] better in the middle.
[name]Maxwell[/name] [name]Elias[/name] [name]Ray[/name] - [name]Maxwell[/name] flows best with [name]Ray[/name] for me.
[name]Elias[/name] [name]Bennett[/name] [name]Ray[/name] - [name]Don[/name]'t love or hate it.
It’s like you are reading my mind lol I was unsure how well [name]Oliver[/name] and [name]Flynn[/name] go with [name]Ray[/name], but they are my two favorites We both originally loved [name]Finn[/name], but that definitely doesn’t go with [name]Ray[/name].
