6 weeks and counting and still debating on names for our little boy. My DD name is [name]Ellison[/name] [name]Poe[/name] (she gets called [name]Ellison[/name], [name]Ellie[/name], and [name]Ellie[/name] [name]Poe[/name] pretty interchangably). I plan to go to hospital with a few choices, so I don’t need a set decision, but am always looking for opinions and suggestions. So far, the top contenders are:
Other potential names:
[name]Sullivan[/name] (nn [name]Sully[/name]) - too much like [name]Ellison[/name]/[name]Ellie[/name]? Getting too popular?
[name]Vaughn[/name] - not sure how I feel about this. Some days I love it, sometimes it’s just ok
To go with [name]Ellison[/name] [name]Poe[/name], I like [name]Ozias[/name] [name]Raymond[/name] nn [name]Ozzy[/name]. I think [name]Ozias[/name] is interesting and different without being too out there. [name]Wilder[/name] [name]Twain[/name] would be my second pick.
I love [name]Wilder[/name] [name]Twain[/name] and it is NOT my style at all! It’s easy to sound pretentious when you use literary names, but I think this combo has a very earthy feel to it.
I think [name]Sullivan[/name] and [name]Ellison[/name] are too close in sound. [name]Huxley[/name] stands out as the front runner for me. [name]Huck[/name] or Hux are awesome nicknames.
I like [name]Ozias[/name] [name]Raymond[/name] by far. [name]Ozzy[/name] and [name]Ellie[/name] is adorable!
My second favorite would be [name]Vaughn[/name].
[name]Ozias[/name] [name]Raymond[/name] is my fave. [name]Man[/name], that is such an awesome name.
Runner-up is [name]Vaughn[/name]. So studly. I love it.
Second runner-up: [name]Wilder[/name] [name]Twain[/name]. It hurts to put him there, because [name]Wilder[/name] is my son’s middle name and I adore it but the other two are killer.
[name]Wilder[/name] [name]Twain[/name] is so cool! My second choice would be [name]Vaughn[/name]. I would choose [name]Sullivan[/name], but I think it’s a little too matchy with [name]Ellison[/name]
I like [name]Ozias[/name] [name]Raymond[/name], [name]Ozias[/name] [name]Twain[/name], [name]Wilder[/name] [name]Twain[/name] or [name]Sullivan[/name]. I also like [name]Vaughn[/name] but I like the others better.
[name_m]Huxley[/name_m] [name_m]King[/name_m] (nn [name_m]Huck[/name_m]/Hux) – I like it. Enough literary cred to match [name_u]Poe[/name_u] and stylistically similar as well.
[name_m]Ozias[/name_m] [name_m]Raymond[/name_m] (nn [name_m]Ozzy[/name_m]) – Great name, awesome nickname. [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] [name_u]Poe[/name_u] and [name_m]Ozzy[/name_m] [name_u]Ray[/name_u].
[name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_m]Twain[/name_m] – waaaay too heavy on the literary theme, for me.
