I am 4 weeks away from giving birth and I keep flip flopping on names. I started out loving [name_m]Luke[/name_m] and the realized it was too common.
Right now I am really liking
[name_m]Mads[/name_m]
[name_u]Owen[/name_u]
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m]
[name_u]Nico[/name_u]
[name_m]Enzo[/name_m]
Possible middle names:
[name_m]Henri[/name_m]
[name_m]Henrik[/name_m]
[name_u]Michael[/name_u]
thanks in advance
[name_m]Mads[/name_m] is apparently a Danish name, so the pronounciation would be something like MAHds.
However, in English it just reminds me of “mad” and therefore I would personally not use it.
I see [name_m]Luke[/name_m] as a classic, not trendy - similar to [name_m]William[/name_m].
[name_u]Owen[/name_u] and [name_m]Enzo[/name_m] seem more trendy to me.
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m] is a surprise and [name_u]Nico[/name_u] feels a bit bland.
Can you describe what you like about these names? Maybe they have something in common based on which people could give you some more suggestions (if you want?)
[name_m]Mads[/name_m] definitely seems like a nickname for [name_u]Madison[/name_u] or [name_m]Maddox[/name_m] to me.
From your other choices, I love [name_u]Nico[/name_u]! [name_m]Enzo[/name_m] seems very Italian. I’ve seen [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] around a lot lately, and [name_u]Owen[/name_u] just seems drab and common in comparison to your other names.
Overall, I like the sound of [name_u]Nico[/name_u] [name_m]Henri[/name_m], or even [name_u]Nico[/name_u] [name_m]Henrik[/name_m].
I really love [name_m]Mads[/name_m], and it would definitely be on my shortlist if my husband’s name weren’t [name_u]Max[/name_u]…
The other one from your list that’s really jumping out to me is actually on your middle name list: [name_m]Henrik[/name_m]. I love it, and to me it has the same “feel” as [name_m]Mads[/name_m] without the “mad” issue - plus you could use another name on your list, [name_m]Henri[/name_m], as a nickname.
