_____________ Patrick - Help us come up with a first name for our son!

bananapants · March 16, 2012, 1:12pm

I know you Berries are up for the challenge, and would love to hear your feedback!

My husband and I are having a little boy in [name]July[/name], and have decided that his middle name will be [name]Patrick[/name], to honor the fact that we became a couple on St. [name]Patrick[/name]'s [name]Day[/name]. BUT, we are failing to agree on any first names.

So, I’m wondering, just as far as sound/flow goes, what would YOU name:

________ [name]Patrick[/name] All-berg (how our last name is pronounced)

Any/all styles appreciated! I prefer more old-fashioned names starting to come back into style, and my husband seems to gravitate toward more modern popular names. So no restrictions. [name]Just[/name] share what you like, and what comes to mind!

Thanks so much!

I love the name [name]Reed[/name]… Saw it on your short list. =) It’s just a strong, masculine name and think that [name]Patrick[/name] is a great middle name. [name]Love[/name] the correlation, too. =)

Oooh, [name]Cade[/name] [name]Patrick[/name] really grabs me! [name]One[/name] to definitely consider. Thanks so much! [name]Love[/name] [name]Evan[/name], [name]Jude[/name], and [name]August[/name] ([name]Gus[/name]) too. [name]Will[/name] share with the husband; curious to see what stands out to him.

Well, we are leaning towards calling our son [name]Van[/name], and his full name will either be [name]Evan[/name] or [name]Donovan[/name]. My vote is [name]Evan[/name], husband likes [name]Donovan[/name]. We’ll see which one suits him when he arrives in [name]July[/name]!

I’m also now thinking about possibly going with:
[name]Evan[/name] [name]Fitzpatrick[/name] All-berg.

Flows a little better than [name]Evan[/name] [name]Patrick[/name] All-berg. Depends on whether or not I can get the hubs on board! And I need to sit with that for a bit to make sure I know how I feel about it. Thanks for your help everyone! Your feedback really helped me lean more towards [name]Evan[/name].
