So I am here on the advise of a friend [name]Milly[/name] (emilymaryjane) and she says this is the best place to get help.
Me and my boyfriend are expecting our first child together but it seems impossible to agree we both have completely different styles. We each have daughters from previous relationships I have a [name]Persephone[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Rose[/name] “Persey” and he has a [name]Rhylee[/name] [name]Isabella[/name] and an Emmersyn [name]Maree[/name]. If we have a boy my favourite is [name]Josiah[/name] his is [name]Cody[/name].
Oh dear — seems you are having the trouble that many posters have when seeking out Nameberry – conflicting styles! Eeek!
If there’s no budging either way for either name, you might want to consider “middle of the road” options. Seems you like nontraditional, unusual, and classic names while he has a taste for the trendy ones.
Let’s see what I can come up with:
[name]Calvin[/name] nn [name]Cal[/name]
[name]Samuel[/name] nn [name]Sam[/name] – could be a nice contender for you. Nice, strong, classic [name]Samuel[/name] provides a route to the popular (yet cool guy) [name]Sam[/name].
[name]Oliver[/name]
[name]Leo[/name]
[name]Adrian[/name]
[name]Axel[/name]
[name]Dexter[/name] — another that I think could really work for you.
[name]Tobin[/name] / [name]Tobias[/name] nn [name]Toby[/name] – could be alternative to [name]Josiah[/name] and the nickname, [name]Toby[/name], has a similar feel to [name]Cody[/name].
To me, both [name]Josiah[/name] and [name]Cody[/name] are cowboy names, names from the rugged west. Maybe there’s another name with that vibe that you would both like?
You seem to have different styles so that’s probably the issue. [name]Josiah[/name] is lovely and ages well whereas [name]Cody[/name] is some what childish and silly. I have only ever known dogs with the name [name]Cody[/name] so I can’t really see it on a people. [name]Cory[/name] would be nicer.
Ok i love:
[name]Samuel[/name] nn [name]Sam[/name]: It’s cute and unisex could be a boy or a girl thats what SO likes
[name]Tobias[/name] nn [name]Toby[/name]: This is a perfect compromise it sounds so similar to both names.
[name]Dexter[/name] nn [name]Dex[/name]: This is so cute
[name]Everett[/name] nn [name]Rhett[/name]
[name]Leo[/name]
[name]Easton[/name]
[name]Finlay[/name]
[name]Gideon[/name] (from cowboy name list)
SO is liking [name]Toby[/name] so maybe [name]Tobias[/name] and he loves [name]Sam[/name] so I think at the moment maybe [name]Tobias[/name] [name]William[/name] [name]Jack[/name]?
Now THAT is one great compromise. This is such a nameberry success story, haha. [name]Toby[/name] is adorable and down to earth, but uncommon. [name]William[/name] and [name]Jack[/name] are two of my absolute favorites and sound fantastic with [name]Tobias[/name]. [name]Tobias[/name] [name]William[/name] [name]Jack[/name] is perfect.
Awesome! I’m so ecstatic that you guys have found a couple new ones that you like! Congrats and good luck! [name]Tobias[/name] [name]William[/name] [name]Jack[/name] nn [name]Toby[/name] sounds fabulous.
