My favorite is [name_m]Garrett[/name_m] [name_m]Patrick[/name_m] Besemer.
I could vote any of these… I like them all. I voted [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] but it was a dead tie with [name_m]Patrick[/name_m]. If you want a new suggestion… I like [name_m]Garrett[/name_m] [name_u]Seth[/name_u]. [name_m]Garrett[/name_m] is a rough and tumble manly name to me and [name_u]Seth[/name_u] is a little quieter and softer so I think they create a nice balance.
I really like [name_m]Garrett[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] and [name_m]Garrett[/name_m] [name_m]Patrick[/name_m]. Voted [name_m]Thomas[/name_m], but really could have chosen either!
They are all nice choices. Since you haven’t decided that you feel good about using [name_m]Cole[/name_m] again, I would advise against it. It seems like you’ve been torn emotionally about that all along. You have a lot of other nice choices, so why not go with something unique. I can’t even pick a favorite, but I did want to add that [name_m]Garrett[/name_m] [name_m]Scott[/name_m] might not get as many votes in these polls ([name_m]Scott[/name_m] is not the most popular name right now), but if it’s meaningful for you & dad to use his name, I think that’s great, and it flows very well.
I voted for [name_m]Garrett[/name_m] [name_m]Patrick[/name_m] on your poll. Have you considered [name_m]Garrett[/name_m] [name_m]Joel[/name_m] as an option instead of [name_m]Cole[/name_m]?
I think all of your choices are good - I voted for [name_m]Garrett[/name_m] [name_m]Scott[/name_m] because I like the way it sounds (a little spunky with strong consonants) with Besemer, but [name_m]Garett[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] was a strong second for me (it flows very nicely) and honestly, you can’t go wrong with any of them !
I am so appreciative of all of your voting and comments. Still a lot to think about. I will keep you updated when I decide. I think [name_m]Cole[/name_m] is out for sure even though my daughter is rallying for it.
Thank you very much for your thoughtful response. I really appreciate it.
I am not fond of [name_m]Garrett[/name_m]. I love [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] though. [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] [name_m]Scott[/name_m]?
I do not love the name either but I am losing this one to my husband and daughter. I don’t hate it and we can’t agree on anything else at all and they really, really like it so I am just going with it. I prefer [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] [name_m]Garrett[/name_m]. I really like [name_m]Isaac[/name_m], [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] or [name_m]Patrick[/name_m] for a first name as well. But nobody in my family will agree with me. So now I just have to find the perfect middle name for [name_m]Garrett[/name_m] and I get the final say since I lost on the first name picking.
