we are expecting our 3rd boy and are at a loss for another boy name! I had beautiful family names picked out for a girl, of course, but am just stuck now!
Our other two little guys are [name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_u]Owen[/name_u]. Our last name is two syllables, starts with S, pretty basic.
some names I kind of like are:
[name_u]River[/name_u]
[name_u]Reed[/name_u]
[name_m]Cole[/name_m]
[name_m]Heath[/name_m]
[name_m]Grant[/name_m]
[name_m]Graham[/name_m]
[name_m]Felix[/name_m]
[name_m]Fletcher[/name_m]
[name_m]Samuel[/name_m]
[name_u]Seth[/name_u]
[name_m]Simon[/name_m]
[name_f]My[/name_f] husband likes [name_u]Noel[/name_u], but all I see is [name_u]Christmas[/name_u]…
We’d love your ideas!
From your list, I like [name_u]Reed[/name_u] and [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] the best.
If your husband likes [name_u]Noel[/name_u], what do you two think of [name_m]Nolan[/name_m]? Similar to his favorite, but I think it fits better with your [name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_u]Owen[/name_u].
Other suggestions:
[name_u]Bryce[/name_u]
[name_m]Garrett[/name_m]
[name_m]Pierce[/name_m]
[name_m]Isaac[/name_m]
[name_m]Henry[/name_m]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_u]Owen[/name_u] work wonderfully together! I kind of like that [name_u]Noel[/name_u] contains letters from both brothers’ names, but I’m not sure that’s the way to go. And you’re clearly not sold on it, either, so…
I think my favorites for you are [name_m]Graham[/name_m] and [name_m]Fletcher[/name_m]. Particularly [name_m]Graham[/name_m], as it’s not too stylistically different from either [name_m]Leo[/name_m] or [name_u]Owen[/name_u]. [name_m]Fletcher[/name_m] is a little closer in style to [name_u]Owen[/name_u], as I consider them both modern-classics (whereas [name_m]Leo[/name_m] is just classic, to me.)
[name_m]Felix[/name_m] would be my favorite, but I’m not sure how the “x” sound would work with your “s” last name? Does it sound ok when you say it out loud?
I feel similarly about [name_m]Samuel[/name_m], [name_u]Seth[/name_u], and [name_m]Simon[/name_m]. Alliteration can work, it just depends on your last name. I don’t care for the repeated end sounds in [name_u]Owen[/name_u] and [name_m]Simon[/name_m], though, so [name_m]Simon[/name_m] isn’t really my favorite for you.
Are any of the names on your list family names? [name_f]Do[/name_f] you want to share what girl names you had picked? It might be possible to tweak the names a bit and still honor those family members with a boy’s name.
I immediately thought of [name_m]Grant[/name_m] when I saw [name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_u]Owen[/name_u]. I was also going to suggest [name_m]Nolan[/name_m], but then I saw someone already suggested it! Although it’s kind of similar to [name_u]Owen[/name_u] - 2 syllables ending in ‘n’. What about [name_m]Miles[/name_m]?
Oh congratulations on your third boy!
[name_u]Noel[/name_u] is my favourite boys name, and I think it fits nicely with [name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_u]Owen[/name_u] - all are short, all have ‘o’, but all three are different.
From your list I also like [name_m]Heath[/name_m], [name_m]Felix[/name_m], [name_u]Seth[/name_u] and [name_m]Simon[/name_m], but I think [name_m]Cole[/name_m] flows the best with the sibset.
so many good ideas, thank you! I like the [name_m]Nolan[/name_m] suggestion, but kind of want to avoid another -an/-en ending. I like [name_m]Grant[/name_m], too.
If I could get my husband to agree with any of the names you suggested, I would be happy actually. His most recent suggestion was “Sitka”. ??
I think the middle name will be [name_u]Claude[/name_u] or Linville, if that changes things. Both kind of odd, I know, but I’ve got to keep the honoring family members tradition going, and I figure an unpopular name in the middle spot can’t hurt too much.
I like [name_m]Leo[/name_m], [name_u]Owen[/name_u], and [name_m]Cole[/name_m] as a sibset because of the similarities in the letters. It’s not really a theme, but the names go together well. I also love [name_m]Felix[/name_m] and [name_m]Samuel[/name_m].
Suggestions:
[name_u]Jude[/name_u]
[name_u]Micah[/name_u]
[name_m]Isaac[/name_m]
[name_m]Adrian[/name_m]
[name_m]Brody[/name_m]
[name_m]Luke[/name_m]/[name_m]Lucas[/name_m]
[name_u]Michael[/name_u]
