Hello Berries!
I am over halfway through a pregnancy with my second son. Brother is [name_m]Merrick[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]. This time around I am gravitating strongly to names that end in -tt. Questions: what do you like the best? the best with brother’s name? And with middle name [name_m]Henry[/name_m]? Thanks in advance!
[name_u]Emmett[/name_u] (this is my favorite but I think it may get tongue-twistery w/ [name_m]Merrick[/name_m])
[name_m]Bennett[/name_m] (nn [name_m]Benny[/name_m], not [name_m]Ben[/name_m]!)
[name_u]Everett[/name_u] (too trendy?)
[name_m]Beckett[/name_m] (eh…)
[name_u]Elliott[/name_u] (too popular?)
[name_m]Wyatt[/name_m] (too popular?)
My favorites are [name_m]Bennett[/name_m], [name_u]Everett[/name_u] & [name_m]Beckett[/name_m]. Out of these three, [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] is a perfect match with [name_m]Merrick[/name_m] in my opinion! Although I also like the matching ck sound with [name_m]Merrick[/name_m] & [name_m]Beckett[/name_m]. I think [name_m]Henry[/name_m] works better with [name_m]Beckett[/name_m] bc [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] has repeating N sound. Personally, [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] is not my favorite by itself or with [name_m]Merrick[/name_m], but [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] is a great combo. I agree [name_u]Emmett[/name_u] is a a bit tongue twisty with [name_m]Merrick[/name_m] and I don’t find it as strong of a name as [name_m]Merrick[/name_m] or the other three I picked.
I actually really like [name_u]Emmett[/name_u] with [name_m]Merrick[/name_m]! I don’t think it would be too tongue-twistery. The others are good too, although I don’t think you can mandate that [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] would not be [name_m]Ben[/name_m] - especially if he is [name_m]Benny[/name_m]! You’d be more likely to avoid [name_m]Ben[/name_m] if you only ever used [name_m]Bennett[/name_m], not [name_m]Benny[/name_m].
[name_m]Don[/name_m]'t avoid a name just because it’s popular though! [name_u]Everett[/name_u], [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] & [name_m]Wyatt[/name_m] are not all that popular and if one of them is the name, it’s the name.
Having said that, if [name_u]Emmett[/name_u] is your favourite, I think you’ve got your answer already!
[name_u]Elliott[/name_u] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] is perfect! And [name_m]Merrick[/name_m] and [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] have a really nice flow. I don’t think [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] is too popular, at least not as popular as [name_m]Wyatt[/name_m].
[name_u]Everett[/name_u] is too trendy compare with [name_m]Merrick[/name_m].
Other -tt names.
[name_m]Scott[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m]
[name_m]Prescott[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m]
[name_m]Barnett[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m]
[name_m]Brantt[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m]
[name_u]Alcott[/name_u] [name_m]Henry[/name_m]
Wescott [name_m]Henry[/name_m]
[name_m]Jarrett[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m]
[name_m]Rhett[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] (if you like [name_u]Everett[/name_u])
[name_m]Merrick[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] and [name_u]Emmett[/name_u] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] - I can see it totally working!
[name_m]Merrick[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] and [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] - I don’t think [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] flows as well as [name_m]Merrick[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m].
[name_m]Merrick[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] and [name_u]Everett[/name_u] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] - [name_u]Love[/name_u] it as much as [name_u]Emmett[/name_u]
[name_m]Merrick[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] and [name_m]Beckett[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] - [name_m]Don[/name_m]'t love it but [name_m]Beckett[/name_m] fits in with [name_m]Merrick[/name_m].
[name_m]Merrick[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] and [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] - I do think [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] is way too popular compared to [name_m]Merrick[/name_m].
[name_m]Merrick[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] and [name_m]Wyatt[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] - Same as [name_u]Elliott[/name_u].
I’m not usually a fan of -tt names, but I really like [name_u]Emmett[/name_u] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] and [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] [name_m]Henry[/name_m]!
I think [name_m]Wyatt[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] flows really well. I also really like [name_m]Bennett[/name_m], but I’d think twice about using it if you really dislike the nn [name_m]Ben[/name_m]. [name_m]Benny[/name_m] is cute on a toddler but all the [name_m]Benny[/name_m]'s I’ve known have switched to [name_m]Ben[/name_m] by high school at the latest.
A couple other -tt name options that aren’t too popular would be:
[name_m]Merrick[/name_m] & [name_u]Alcott[/name_u]
[name_m]Merrick[/name_m] & [name_m]Corbitt[/name_m]
[name_m]Merrick[/name_m] & [name_m]Cabbott[/name_m]
[name_m]Merrick[/name_m] & [name_u]Garnett[/name_u]
[name_m]Merrick[/name_m] & [name_m]Hewitt[/name_m]
[name_m]Merrick[/name_m] & [name_m]Hyatt[/name_m]
[name_m]Merrick[/name_m] & [name_m]Prescott[/name_m]
[name_m]Merrick[/name_m] & [name_m]Prewitt[/name_m]
[name_m]Merrick[/name_m] & [name_m]Westcott[/name_m]
